One More Thing Before You Go
Chapter 1
Jack sighed as he pulled his cardigan tighter around his chest when he slipped into a secluded desk in the corner of the room buy the teachers desk. He silently cursed the school for the stupid rule that they couldn't wear hoodies or jackets with hoods on them cause they were scared kids were going to stash or hide weapons or drugs in them. Jack quickly scanned the small classroom and thought, hey I don't exactly blame them cause this place is super shady along with a lot of the students.
His Marketing and Speech teacher, Mrs. Scott walked in and smiled at him before slipping into her chair and putting on her glasses. Mrs. Scott was a super nice old black lady and she, next to his English and Creative Writing teacher, Mrs. Anchetta, were one of Jack's favorite teachers. They were extremely nice and very understanding towards him.
"Jack, what chapter are you on?" Mrs. Scott asked Jack when he was scribbling definitions into his notebook from the dictionary.
Jack flushed and stuttered out that he was on chapter 12 and Mrs. Scott smiled at him. Mrs. Scott and all of his other teachers have always been very impressed on Jack's work cause he never slacked off and always got ahead of the other students.
"Young people, what chapter are you guys on?" Mrs. Scott asked the other students as she got up and walked over to them.
"Uhm, chapter 4." Several of the students replied and Jack kinda snorted back a laugh.
"Really now? You see, Jack over there is on chapter 12 already. Guys this is the second week of school, you all should be on at least chapter 6. You guys are Freshmen and now have more adult like responsibilites." Mrs. Scott said and all the students glared at Jack who slid further into his seat. He hated when people stared at him and they probably hate him even more now.
Jack decided that he did enough work in that class for today and he just closed his notebook and opened up another one to write in. Writing was one of Jack's passions and probably always will be. He felt like since he can't exactly talk that well he could get it all out on paper.
The 'bell' which was actually just Mrs. Scott saying "Time to change classes," which caused Jack to stand up slowly and pick up his books to walk the very short distance to his English class.
Jack sat down in a similar spot next to Mrs. Anchetta's desk and opened up the book he was reading in that class, taking note that again, he's on chapter 31 of this book in 2 days and the other kids are on chapter 2. They do this thing called 'popcorn reading' which they claim that it helps them read faster. Interesting.
Jack was snapped out of his trance from the book when he heard the door open and saw a tall guy walk in that he's always admired. His name was Alex.
"Morning, Mrs. Anchetta." Alex said boldly and sat down on a desk across the room after pulling out his American Government text book. He was one of the 5 seniors in this school so he didn't really come in till later in the day. He always worked on his school work in all the same classrooms Jack was in. Not like Jack didn't mind. Alex was hot.
Alex sent Jack a gentle look and Jack's eyes shot back down in embarrassment, a blush taking over his face.
"M-m-mr's. Anc-hett-tta. May I-I use the b-bathroom." Jack stuttered out quietly and Mrs. Anchetta nodded in approval. Jack quickly got up and jogged the short distance to the small individual bathroom to try to not have a fucking anxiety attack cause holy shit Alex just intimidates the fuck outta him.

Notes
Sorry for the awkward ending... :cSo yeah, this is something I felt like I needed to write but I will love writing it. This is actually going to be my story on what's happening in my life atm. There is this guy I am absolutely head over heels for in my school and that's Alex in this story. I'm Jack. How Jack and Alex will start talking is not how me and the boy started talking cause it's religious and idk how you guys would feel about that... :/ But if I get enough people saying that they wouldn't mind it'll be a lot easier for me.
Anyways, this is a underage!jack story and a military fic so hopefully you guys will enjoy it :) Let me know in the comments how it is so far. :)
whispers please update this bc its so good and original and ugh it'd be so sad to see it go unfinished
