Excerpt
Q wanted to jump out of the window. Granted, they were on the first floor so it wouldn’t have done any damage, but he needed to get away from Jackie’s incessant chatter. She was a row in front of him, sitting on some jock’s lap. The jock’s hand rested on the side of her thigh.
Q rolled his eyes so hard that he thought they were going to roll out of his head.
The bell rang, and he let out a breath.
Finally.
Jackie jumped up and kissed the jock on the cheek, leaving behind a smudge of whatever was on her lips.
She didn’t even look at Q as she passed.
He didn’t care.
He didn’t care about much anymore. It was a symptom of greater concerns.
Q stood up. It was only the beginning of the class period, but he couldn’t take it any longer. He needed a break.
He went to Mr. Powell. The teacher had a stack of papers on his desk. Q knew a pop quiz was coming today. He was always sure to keep his grades high enough to squeak by. But his marks were bad enough for his parents to have to come to school every once in a while for a discussion with his teachers.
‘I need to use the pass,’ he said to Mr. Powell.
‘Now?’ Mr. Powell asked, meeting Q’s eyes.
‘I’ll be quick,’ Q said, sliding the bathroom pass off Mr. Powell’s desk.
He dared the guy to question him. ‘Hurry back.’
He left the room just as Mr. Powell announced the pop quiz to the class. A chorus of groans and shuffling paperwork followed him out of the room. It wasn’t until the door closed behind him that he was able to breathe.
Q was in the bathroom for about five seconds before the sound started. The familiar eh eh eh of the alarm and flickering lights of the room made Q smirk.
It was a perfect time for a fire drill.
He finished up in the bathroom and leisurely walked out.
Students and teachers hustled down the hallway toward the front entrance. A mix of terror and excitement flashed across everyone’s face.
He wished he’d been the one to make the fire drill go off. He pressed his hand against the lighter in his pocket.
