Thread: Running Brings Freedom (Frelance & Frogger)

Jason glanced over the rest of the class list but once he was sure the few people he did not want deal with he turned and threaded his way through the crowd that had started to form behind him as he checked the list. He was glad that none of the guys that he tried to avoid were in his home room this year. When he heard someone sit down behind him Jason glanced over his shoulder just long enough to see Lily sitting down in the desk behind him. He turned back around hoping she would not notice him looking back. He had almost forgotten about the incident on the bridge the night before but seeing Lily just served to remind him all over again. He didn't have long to think about the fact that he would have to spend the whole year avoiding any questions she might have because just as he started writing out a bit more code for the coding class later someone walked up to the desk and set a phone down on the edge. Um, it's Jason right? He looked up to see Jennifer who had never spoken to him but he been in at least one of his classes every year. Ya, that's me. He glanced at the phone then suppressed a sigh and asked. What's wrong with it? He had already been approached a few times with people who's phones or I pods weren't working. Um I am not sure it stopped charging a few weeks ago. Like it will charge sometimes but it will stop the start after five minutes a lot to. Jennifer glanced around and Jason suspected that she didn't really want to be seen with him. Her reaction was nothing new but it still got on his nerves. It's going to cost you 80 to fix it. Half now if you want a phone to use for a few days while I fix it. Her body language changed as soon as she heard the price and she leaned forward and hissed just loud enough for Jason and maybe the people right next to them to hear. David said you fixed the same problem for 50 and you gave him a phone without asking for money up front so do the same for me or I am leaving. You should be grateful I am actually talking to a freak like you. Jason had flinched back when she leaned in to him but as she kept speaking he got him courage back and leaned forward until he was invading her personal space just like she had done to his. David I like. He treats me like a person and I trust him because he has never given me a reason to distrust him. 80 or no deal. She couldn't see just how hard his fists were shaking since he had them at his sides but they were perfectly clear to anyone behind him. Jennifer glared down at him for almost a full minute before she pulled out her wallet and slapped two twenty on the desk. Jason picked them up before reaching into his bag and pulling out a phone of the same brand and generation. It took him less than thirty seconds to swap her sim card and hand it back to her. Don't forget to format it before you give it back. I don't take responsibility for anything you leave on it. She gave him a dirty look before walking back to her seat just as Mr. Davis walked into the room and took a seat at his desk. As Mr. Davis waited for the class to quite down Jason put both the phone and the money into his backpack hoping no one saw his hands shaking. He waited trying to deal with most of his classmates but he knew that if he did not at least make an effort to they would just walk all over him and he had seen that happen enough to know he didn't want it to happen to him. His head snapped up when he heard his name only to see Mr. Davis looking at him with a hint of a smile on his face. He did his best to keep his face completely blank until Mr. Davis looked back down at the class list.
