The J Trio (Part 2)

I slowly crept back towards the lot. I was tiptoeing around the corner, when BAM!!!!!! “AHHHHHHHH!!!” They were ready for me. All my hopes of getting to school flew out the window. Arms were wrapped around my chest, and my legs were on Jack’s shoulders. Even though it really hurt, I didn’t say a word. I didn’t want to say the wrong thing and increase my chances of being beat up.
“Look, we’re skipping today. Are you gonna get beat up by us and skip, or just go along?” I contemplated this for a while. Apparently, it was to long, and I got punched in the gut by Jack. I decided that going along with their plan was better than physical pain.
“Fine, Fine.” To the park we ran. Well, really I was trying to walk, while they ran. Every once in a while, they would stop, wait for me, and drag me along to run with them. Luckily for us, there were no little kids, nannies, or grandmas in the park. In fact, there was no one there! Joan ran under the play ground. She waited a second.
“Hey, c’mon.” She pulled Jack and me under the set with her.
“So, I bet there’s a real reason for us being here Joan.” I said coldly. I tried to sound icy, but it always sounds like I’m trying to be funny.
“Jane, Jane, Jane. Don’t you ever do anything for the sake of fun?” Joan asked.
“Yes, but you’re always up to something.”
“Well, maybe she’s doing this for fun this time, you never know.” Jack said tauntingly.
‘”Oh Jack!” Joan said playfully. I couldn’t believe it. They were just trying to make me do something. This had never been fun, but it was turning worse by the second.
