Flowers in the Heart Part 2

"Terri, she can sit where ever she wants," Scott said and Terri flounced down the aisle to another seat.

"Fine, that's what you like, fuck you; I won't ask you out," Terri muttered to herself.

She liked Scott; had planned to ask him m out just as soon as the cooling off period had elapsed. Megan was her friend and Megan and Scott had just broken up; wouldn't do to start dating Scott while Megan's mark was still on him.

Megan sneered at Scott and scowled when he did not seem perturbed at her sneer.

"What'd you ever see in that bitch?" Jenna whispered.

"The top of her head," Scott whispered back.

Jenna thought about it for a moment then squealed in disgust and slapped his arm.

"Something you'd like to share with us, Miss Jordan?" Fred Dumas asked as he began to call roll.

"No, Scott's just being a nasty pig," Jenna spat and Scott laughed out loud.

"Boy, the gray weather is affecting everyone today, that's for sure," Fred commented. "Just about everyone I've run into today seems to be in a foul mood.

"Maybe if you'd quit running into them?" Roger suggested.

Fred smiled as Roger's suggestion had the desired effect; the students laughed and relaxed.

"But it was a gray and ugly mood that surrounded Europe just months before the onset of World War One, the 'War to end all wars,'" Fred launched into his lecture of the day.

"Hello?" a tight voice snapped.

"Yes, um, hi, this is Scott; may I speak with Fauna please?" Scott said.

There was no response, just the sound of the phone clunking onto whatever the woman set it down on then the sound of it being dragged and then Fauna's small voice came on.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hey, it's me, um, it's Scott," Scott said.

"Hi!" she said happily.

He didn't know what they talked about for two hours, but finally Fauna's mother said it was time to call it a night and the two teenagers hung up.
