The J Trio

Okay, I know you probably think this is totally weird. I know, and I’m sorry. You’re probably going to think, why do they even hang out together?? Well, there has to be something behind that, but that’s for you to find out.
I had just left my house on a regular routine, and was walking to the bus stop. Joan came up; she grabbed me by the arm. “Hey, Get Off!”
“Oh come on, just follow me.”
“I will if you let go.” I thought that if she let me go, I could run to the stop or something. Unfortunately, she read my mind.
“Will not! You’ll run away. Now stop pulling, you’re just making it worse.” I finally stopped, and Joan pulled me into the empty lot near the bus stop. It’s totally invisible from the bus stop. There I saw Jack and Russ. Russ was circling around Jack like a vulture. Jack backed into a wall, to have his face meet Russ’s fist. Russ, startled, ran from the lot, leaving us alone. Jack sat, panting in the corner where Russ had just been.
“So why’d ya bring me here for?” I said, “We probably missed the bus.” I turned to leave, but Joan caught me by the arm again.
“You aren’t going anywhere lil’ missy.” She cried. My arm, still sore from when she wrangled it last, was shaking.
“Jeez, what a wimp.” Jack called.
“Hey look at you, sitting in a corner with a bloody nose!” I jeered back. I got Joan’s arm off, and ran.
I was the bus at the end of the street, and knew that I couldn’t catch it. Jack had dropped my cell phone in the fish pond a week ago. My parents weren’t home, either. My backpack was in the lot with Joan and Jack. I really didn’t want to go back, but if I was going to make it back to school, I would need it.
