Chapter 3.  Bonds Broken
     
     
    My next class The Arts is broken up in different segments throughout the school year.  It starts with art history for a week , and then it goes into sketching.  Several girls asked me about Caleb and what it was like to live in New York.  One girl tried her best to sound like a New Yorker but failed miserably.  I took public speech classes since the ninth grade to learn how to hide my accent.  I thought it worked , but realized it couldn’t hide the fact I don’t have a southern hitch.  Maybe , this won’t be so bad.   It’d be so much better if fourth period would get here already.   I’m the only dork on earth that wishes Historiography class would hurry up and arrive.  I bet girls are hitting on Caleb.  I wouldn’t put it past that Carmen girl to try to break us up.  She’s crafty that way.  I have a sixth sense about stuff like that. Is the bell ever going to ring?  I wonder where the bathrooms are.  The more I thought about the bathroom, the more I fidgeted.  I wiggled until my bladder screamed at me that we needed to go and when it says go it means it.   My hand shot up into the air.
    “ Miss Lucente , can I help you with something?”  The copper-hair teacher asked.  She wore a copper colored nametag that matched her hair perfectly.
    “May I go to the restroom?”  In that moment, I realized, no one has asked to go the bathrooms all day.
    “Let me find out if I can get an escort for you, it’s about time for the bell to ring.  You can’t wait another fifteen minutes?”
    I turned 77 shades of red.  “Eh, hem, no ma’am, I need to go now.” 
    “Of course you do.  Jasmine will you escort Miss Lucente to the bathroom.”  I turned quickly to my left to see who she is talking to and almost peed myself when I saw her.  Beautiful long black hair, big brown eyes , and skin so bronze that she’d mak e a perfect suntan lotion model.  She is also the ex-gir lfriend to Clark, the guy that was bonded to her, but I fell and he caught me, breaking their bond.   By the look on her face, she is none too happy about taking me to the bathroom .
    Why in the hell does my life have to suck today?  Great, now I’ll have to worry about her beating the crap out of me in the bathroom.   I know a few Puerto Rican girls from Harlem that put the f in fear.
    Jasmine turns to me.  “Someone told me that you and Caleb are re-bound together.  How did you do it?”  She flips her long hair over her shoulder.  “I have to get Clark back.  He and I were perfect together, until you and that weird Underworld guy ruined it.  He’ll be 18 soon, and instead of trying to bond to me, he is out making out with every hoochie he can find.”
    I know the pain she is in.  It’s just like when Caleb and I kissed and I felt the pain of us being unbound .  “I honestly don’t know how we reconnected.  Have you tried to kiss him?”  I followed her as we walked to the other end of the hall.   “Fairy tales say that true love’s kiss will break any spell.  Have you tried that?”
    Jasmine stops and pushes me into a locker pinning my back to it .  I feel the lock embedded in my back.  “You’re freakin’ kidding me , right ?  This isn’t an F N fairy tale , you idiot.  We’re Light Tamers , you know…the good guys.  I’m in jeopardy of losing everything I’ve ever trained for and you’re over here saying stupid things like true love’s kiss.  I knew better than to ask you.  You’re no better than anyone else in this school.  I don’t know why they’re making such a big deal out of you.   Freakin’ faerie-ass . ”  She is so close that we are boob to boob.  Awkward.   She abruptly stepped back and pointed to a light blue door that says GIRLS.  “Go…remember, you had to pee so bad you were
