Jack was walking to his locker. He looked up just in time to see Norman. They locked eyes for a moment and Jack turned. He jumped a couple steps and jumped over the railing, landing on the ground close below. People watched him with wide eyes, but no one tried to stop him as he escaped.

IC Oh for the love of-fine, he could try to get out of this but they had to talk, so Norman let out a small sigh before bolting off after him. The entire school knew of their rivalry, though they did nothing to hide it, so really this could easily be chalked up to him being angry at Jack, though if he was being honest, he was mostly just very confused and would honestly really appreciate some answers.

Jack vaulted over a table and slid to a halt behind it. The people sitting there looked stunned to say the least, but eventually just gave him and went back to their work. Jack hoped that hiding behind them would get the other teen off his trail.

IC Norman skidded to a halt in front of the table. "Hey," he said looking at the people there. "You seem someone running around here? Looks like he's trying to get away from something? I'm looking for him," he explained and looked the people over.

The people looked awkward for a moment. Not sure if they should tell. Finally someone moved and exposed Jack "Traitor." he yelped. Diving under the table he rolled to his feet and continued to run.

IC Norman let out a slightly annoyed sigh as he took off after him. You couldn't just kiss someone then avoid them forever. Of course he sort of had to wonder why he even wanted to talk about it...he could just pretend it never happened...but he...well he didn't really want too. "Jack! You get back here!" He yelled in hopes that he might listen at least a bit.

"Nope. Sorry. I have to go somewhere." he tried, glancing back over his shoulder in hopes the other would get bored and leave him alone.

IC "Go where?" He asked in slight annoyance and continued to chase before getting cut off as someone thrust their locker open and he had to skid to a halt so he didn't run into the locker door...it didn't work and he ran into it anyways, which then made the other side of the locker door hit the person on the other side and they let out a wince of pain as Norman fell down. "Owe," he mumbled, that had sort of knocked the wind out of him for a few minutes.

Jack skidded to a halt and turned around "You... ok?" he called, looking worried. (Sorry for poof. I went to the library.)

OOC It's fine.
IC Norman blinked, sort of just sitting there for a minute before he got ready to answer, going to pass it off as nothing...however then Jack would run again, so instead he got an idea and went with that. "I...don't know, my head hurts," he explained, not even really lying since his head did hurt since that was the thing that had really hit the locker door, however usually he just tried to pass pain off as nothing. "And I think I hurt my back when I landed..." he added, which again, true.

Jack approached him carefully and offered him a hand "You wanna head to the office or something? That looked like a rough fall..." normally he would have laughed at him, but this was the first time Norman had actually said something was hurt.

IC Norman paused, looking like he was thinking about it for a few seconds before he nodded and accepted the hand as he got up. "Yeah...that might be a good idea, and on the way, we can talk," he suggested innocently.

"Geh." Jack scowled "I'm sure you can walk there yourself..." he attempted to pull away. This had been a trap, and he had fallen for it. Falling for a trap was something he rarely did, figures it had to be this one.

IC Norman reached out and grabbed his wrist, making it look more like he tripped before reaching out for him. Acting was something he was good at, to say the least. Plus it wasn't hard, he really was hurt, so it wasn't so much acting as it was actually telling the truth for once. "I'd feel better if you walked with me, everything's still dizzy," he confessed and looked up at Jack.

Jack scowled, but finally sighed in defeat "Fine." he took the other teens hand in his own and made sure he was stable before walking towards the office. If they could just get there quickly, maybe he wouldn't be asked anything. Jack was fifty percent sure the other was lying to get him to stay, but if he wasn't, and Jack left him things would get worse then they already were.

IC Norman made sure to keep hold of Jack's wrist in case he decided to run off again. "Thanks...so about earlier..." he started and glanced over at him. "At lunch, we should probably talk about that," he said, purposely taking a long time to walk.

"We should focus on making sure you're ok first." Jack muttered, pulling him along. He focused on weaving through the hall way, avoiding the look the other teen was most certainly giving him.

IC Norman was tempted to argue however it might be best to hold off on the conversation until they were more alone and there was less people, so he didn't argue as he was dragged along. Besides he wasn't even entirely sure how to start that conversation...but he did want to talk about it, he knew that much.

They arrived at the office and Jack tried again to pull his hand free "Here you are. Now i'm just going to head home..."

IC Norman tightened his grip on the other's hand, clearly not about to let Jack run off, blushing slightly as he looked away. "Why did you kiss me?" He asked quietly, they still had some time since it looked like school nurse wasn't there at the moment.

Jack didn't have a reply. He bit his lip and struggled for words "I... I just needed you to know that I didn't hate you." there were few people around, no one was going to rescue him.

IC "But why kiss me? Why not...give me a friendly high five or I don't know...just told me you didn't hate me?" He asked, sounding rather confused by everything, though he still refused to look over at him. So far...Norman was still trying to figure everything out. Jack had kissed him, he didn't hate it...maybe even possible kinda liked it-no way was he saying that out loud though. Then here he was, trying to talk about it, and why? He...he really didn't know.

He was silent for a moment before saying "Would that have done anything to convince you?" he placed a hand on his hip and ran the other through his hair, cheeks slightly red. "Listen... you can just forget it ever happened. We can go back to how it was before."

IC "It doesn't work that way. We can't go back to just hating each other when we both clearly don't," Norman told him, looking over at the wall with a frown. "You kissed me and now I can't get it out of my head," he explained, exhaling in frustration. "I...I also turned Connor down," he added.

Jacks eyes widened "You turned him down? But I thought you wanted to date him." he hadn't thought his actions would cause such a stir in the others actions.

IC "Yeah, I did...I don't know why I said no, I just did," Norman explained, though he had been thinking and it obviously had something to do Jack and the fact that he had kissed him. But he wasn't exactly quite willing to say that. Outloud at least.

A small smile made it's way to his lips. He coughed and tried to shake it off once he realized it "Well, i'm glad you did." he stuffed his hands in his pockets and nodded.

IC "Yeah...you didn't seem to approve of that guy," Norman agreed, none of this really helped his confusion in the slightest. What, Jack's way of telling him that he didn't hate Norman was to kiss him? Did he do that to everyone he didn't hate? He didn't think so.

"Of course I didn't." he nodded "So if we've got that fixed I think I'll head home now." this was a good chance to end the conversation.

IC Norman didn't really think this cleared anything up, however the school nurse finally made her entrance at that and he figured that yeah, they would have to end the conversation here anyways.
