Jason and JJ were snuggled up in bed watching a movie. ‘’This movie is boring and we have only been watching it for 15 minutes,’’ said JJ. Jason handed her the remote control. ‘’There has to be something better on than that stupid movie,’’ said JJ switching through the channels. After going through several channels JJ switched back to the movie, handed the remote back to Jason, and laid her head on his chest. ‘’I will just lay my head on this nice comfy pillow and hopefully sleep through the rest of this movie,’’ said JJ with a smile on her face. Jason ran his hands through her brown hair as she closed her eyes and started dozing off.
JJ was standing up in front of the black board at Dockside High giving a report on Joseph Smith, Jr. ‘’According to Smith, he was visited by the Angel Moroni in the year 1823 while he was praying,’’ said JJ reading her report. ‘’Was the angel beautiful?’’ asked Grant Perkins a student sitting in the middle row trying to distract JJ. ‘’I don’t know, use your imagination,’’ said JJ. She was fixing to continue with her report. ‘’Did the angel have wings?’’ asked Grant. Getting aggravated with Grant, JJ sat the pages to the report on the teacher’s desk. ‘’Listen you stupid jackass, I have spent hours working on this assignment, so I would really appreciate it if you would just close your stupid mouth,’’ said JJ angarily. ‘’If you had hours to work on it, the sex must not have been that great,’’ said Grant. ‘’Ohhhhh,’’ said several in the class. ‘’I know you are the star quarterback for the Dockside Seagulls, but that doesn’t mean crap to me. So I would suggest if you don’t want your pretty little nose broken by my fist, shut up and let me finish my report,’’ said JJ shaking her fist at grant. Before things could escalate anymore teacher Michel Wiseman stepped in to break things up. ‘’Ms. Tanner, I think it is time for you to go talk to Principal Shoeman,’’ said Michael.
JJ entered the Dockside High Detention Room. She sat down beside a mixed race teenage girl by the name of Kyndal Moore. “Jayden Tanner, of all the people that has been in detention with me, I never thought you would be one of them,’’ said Kyndal. “I guess there is first time for everything,’’ said JJ. ‘’What did you do?’’ asked Kyndal after a few moments of silence. ‘’I got into an argument with Grant Perkins,’’ said JJ. ‘’You, argued with Grant Perkins, the star quarterback. How exciting,’’ said Kyndal excitedly. ‘’Yeah, real exciting, it landed me in here,’’ said JJ. There was another few moments of silence. “What did you do this time to be sent to detention. You have a reputation of being a problem student and sent to detention all the time,’’ said JJ. ‘’Various things. I do it on purpose, so I can be sent to detention,’’ said Kyndal. ‘’What?’’ asked JJ puzzled look on her face. ‘’I have a problem being around crowds,’’ said Kyndal. ‘’Oh, I understand now,’’ said JJ dropping the conversation afraid she would embarrass Kyndal. ‘’One day I would like to get over this fear, have a lot of friends, and maybe even a boyfriend,’’ said Kyndal. ‘’Don’t worry it will happen and I will help you,’’ said JJ. ‘’how?’’ asked Kyndal putting a smile on her face. ‘’I am not sure yet,’’ said JJ starting to think.
‘’How am I going to explain being sent to detention. What was I thinking threatening to punch someone in the nose. Maybe instead of going home go over to Jasons. No, mom, already knows and it would just create problems with my boyfriend,’’ thought JJ walking home trying to figure out a way out of the predicament she was in. She stopped when she saw the Dockside Baptist Church. The site of the building started bringing back memories of her childhood.
JJ went into the church sanctuary. She sat down beside the pulpit and started crying. ‘’Who’s there?’’ asked Ruth Ann Miller walking into the sanctuary. ‘’It’s Jayden Tanner,’’ said JJ. Ruth Ann sat down next to JJ and put her arms around her. ‘’Tell me you are not pregnant,’’ said Ruth.’’ No, I am not pregnant. I may sleep with my boyfriend and sometimes have desires but I am still a virgin,’’ said JJ. ‘’What is bothering you?’’ asked Ruth. ‘’When my dad died, I felt so lost and confused. It was like there was a hole in my heart. Then mom met Mario a couple of years later. It was like, like, I can’t go any further,’’ said JJ crying. ‘’It’s ok, baby, just let it out,’’ said Ruth. ‘’It felt like mom was trying to replace dad and the hole in my heart started filling with anger. The more Mario is around it feels like this inner anger is turning into something worse. Mrs. Miller does this mean that I am fixing to turn into a violent person?’’ asked JJ with tears rolling down her cheek. ‘’No baby you are not going to turn into a violent person. You are going through one of the stages of death,’’ said Ruth. ‘’When does it end?” asked JJ. ‘’There is no time frame. It maybe months or years,’’ said Ruth comforting JJ.
Rilee Bridges and Kyndal walked into the sanctuary. ‘’JJ, are you ok?’’ asked Rilee noticing that JJ had been crying. ‘’I will be fine,’’ said JJ. ‘’Oops! My manners. Nana this is Kyndal,’’ said Rilee introducing Kyndal to Ruth. “Would it be ok if me and Kyndal went to the Golden Pizza and hung out?’’ asked Rilee. ‘’As long as you get Kyndal home by her curfew and you are home by 10, it will be ok,’’ said Ruth. ‘’Thank you, Nana. You are the greatest,’’ said Rilee hugging Ruth. ‘’Do you want to come JJ?’’ asked Rilee. ‘’I would love too, but I need to go home and face the consequences of my actions,’’ said JJ with a sigh. “‘Ok, will talk to you later,’’ said Rilee. ‘’Later,’’ said Kyndal. JJ thought for a moment. ‘’You know what? Screw it! I am already in trouble,’’ said JJ getting up and following Rilee and Kyndall out of the sanctuary. ‘’I can’t believe Rilee asked me for permission to do something. There may be hope for that child yet,’’ said Ruth after everyone had left.
The next morning JJ walked into Principal George Shoeman Office. ‘’Mr. Shoeman, do you have a minute?” asked JJ. ‘’Have a seat Ms. Tanner,’’ said George. ‘’What did you say to my mom about being me being sent to detention. She didn’t say anything about getting a phone call and didn’t seem to be mad at me,’’ said JJ. ‘’That’s because I didn’t call your mother,’’ said George. ‘’Oh, I see what it is, you wanted to see if I would be honest with my mother and tell her what happened. Just great, she didn’t say anything and I didn’t bring it up,’’ said JJ with a disgusted look on her face. ‘’It wasn’t that either, Ms. Tanner,’’ said George getting out of his chair and sitting on his desk. “Now I am confused,’’ said JJ. ‘’Ms. Tanner have you ever compared the relationship between there are two sides to every story and for every action there is a reaction?’’ asked George. JJ thought for a moment. ‘’Well, there is sometimes more to a story than what someone is told. When a person does something whether good or bad there are consequences,’’ said JJ. ‘’Very good. You see Ms. Tanner, I only heard the part that you threatened someone and it didn’t make sense that a straight A student that has never got in trouble would threaten harm to a person,’’ said George. ‘’Based on the information you had, you just sent me to detention, to think about what I did, and that as far as it went,’’ said JJ. ‘’Exactly,’’ said George. “Thank you Mr. Shoeman,’’ said JJ getting up. ‘’Hold on Ms. Tanner, I want to show you the effect of you going to detention,’’ said George. JJ had a puzzled look on her face.
George and JJ walked down the hall. They stopped at Mr. Kraft’s class room. George opened the door. JJ saw Kyndal sitting in class talking to her classmates. ‘’Hi Mr. shoeman, JJ,’’ said Kyndal waving and smiling. George closed the door so they would not disturb Mr. Kraft’s class.
Richard and Rilee were at Jason’s parents house to watch a movie. ‘’JJ text me. She said she was on the way but would be late,’’ said Jason. ‘’I wonder how late,’’ said Richard with disgusted look on his face. While watching tv waiting on JJ the doorbell rang. Jason got up to answer the door. ‘’That must be JJ,’’ said Rilee. ‘’Why didn’t she just walk in like she normally does?’’ asked Richard. Kyndal and JJ walked in carrying pizza boxes. “What would movie night be without pizza,’’ said JJ with a smile on her face. The four ate pizza and watched the movie Nerve.
