Chapter 48

Arriving at the high school a while later, Jack went directly to his class and sat down.

His mind was occupied only by the thoughts of going back home and entering the dungeon, that was all he had been thinking about the last few days.

'I need to get stronger at a faster pace, the moment I lose my newborn buffs is the moment when I enter grave danger' Jack thought to himself as his hands kept shaking minutely.

Each second in the classroom felt like a bigger and bigger waste of time.

'I'll go and apply for early graduation today, with my increased intelligence, memorizing every single book won't take more than a few hours, and I'm already done with this year's books. All I have to do is go to the school library and read up for an hour or two at most' Jack thought as he kept tapping the table with his finger.

"What's got you so wound up?" A voice asked as it sat next to Jack.

Turning his head, Jack saw that it was Emmet and soon enough another person arrived and sat in front of them.

It was Rosalie Cullen.

"I'm just thinking about some stuff, I'm planning on going through early graduation," Jack answered Emmet straightforwardly.

He already knew that lying wasn't something he would do until his charisma was much higher, and so he had devised two choices in every conversation.

Either tell the unfiltered truth or simply don't talk at all.

"Early graduation? Are you sure about that? Are you even ready? I mean all you do is play games all day." Emmet said with a chuckle.

Jack turned to give Emmet a deadpan stare.

"Oh right, your entire life is a video game," Emmet said as he scratched the back of his head.

"How does that even work?" Emmet asked a moment later.

"I don't really want to share Emmet, it's something personal" Jack replied as he faced the giant vampire.

Emmet nodded his head in understanding.

"Either way, I've already memorized all the books for this year, so all I have to do is memorize the books for the next two school years and then I can take the graduation exam," Jack said closing the book in front of him.

"You've memorized all the books for this year? How? Teach me your ways, master!" Emmet said with wide eyes as he shook Jack's shoulder.

"I just memorized them after reading them, there's no special way about it," Jack said as he shook his head with a soft smile on his face.

Emmet crossed his arms and made a face as if he was in deep thought, only to make an 'Aha' sound a moment later.

"You have a note-taking ability, don't you? That way you can just store all the information and just read it afterward." Emmet said as if he had finally found the universe's greatest secret.

Jack meanwhile just stood there looking at Emmet as if he was some dumbass.

'Why the hell would I even have an ability like that? It's a dungeon RPG, not a business simulator. Though he doesn't know about the details of the system so I guess he could come up to that conclusion but I already told him that I just memorized the text' Jack thought before shaking his head softly.

"Yeah, sure whatever suits your imagination Emmet," Jack said before his eyes wandered to the person one seat in front of him.

'Rosalie Cullen, one of the people who he had hated the most at the beginning but had actually learned that she was in fact reasonable, she had been adamant about killing Jack but after he had been turned, she had actually not done anything against him and she hadn't even changed her mind when the situation turned to Bella Swan. So at least she wasn't a hypocrite' Jack thought to himself as he stared at the blonde-haired woman.

"Hey, she's my soulmate. Don't get any ideas all right" Emmet said as he whispered to Jack.

Jack turned his face to look at Emmet.

"You do know that she can hear us correct?" Jack asked making an expression as if he was done with Emmet's actions.

"Oh right, Rosalie tell him that you're my soul mate and won't ever leave me," Emmet said instead of shutting up, as he turned to face Rosalie.

Rosalie didn't even turn around leaving the two boys with one sentence.

"Shut the fuck up."

"Oooh, feisty" Emmet said as he released a low chuckle.

'What the hell, am I being a third wheel in a love drama right now?' Jack thought as he stared at the two.

*Sigh*

'What has my life turned into, being the third wheel of my kidnappers, I really might have Stockholm syndrome.' Jack thought to himself.

"What are you thinking so hard about," Emmet asked Jack who had been silent for a while.

"I'm thinking whether I should punch your face or kick your crotch. I wonder which one Rosalie would prefer" Jack said as he turned to give his friend a grin.

Emmet felt that if he had been a human, his back would have been drenched in sweat.

"You shouldn't think like that. It's unhealthy" 

"Go for the crotch" Rosalie spoke once more.

"Hey, that means you won't be..." Before Emmet could finish his sentence he had to stop at the sight of the glare Rosalie was sending his way, finally turning around to face Emmet.

*Gulp*

"Go on, finish the sentence, Emmet," Jack said as he patted his friend's back.

Emmet turned his eyes to Jack and gave him a glare as if asking him whether he wanted him to kill himself.

*Tch*

"Wuss, I would have just said what was on my mind" Jack tried to incite Emmet however the man didn't take the bait.

It was at this moment that the professor came in and the class started.

The hour went by peacefully and so did the rest of the classes and lunch after that.

Besides the first hour, Jack had no more encounters with the Cullens so it was a rather relaxing day, if he had to say so himself.

Going out of his class after the last bell of the day rang, Jack started heading to the school administration office.

With quick steps so that he wouldn't miss them before they left off to their homes, Jack quickly arrived at the office.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Come in"

_____________________________________________________________________________

Jack won't be staying at school for much longer, simply for the fact that it's just a waste of time for him. He doesn't have any friends to hang around with besides Emmet and even then it's rare that the two meet, and he already knows every subject.

And I also found it as a great way to start diverging from the original plotline and start building up something new whilst we wait for the interesting plots from the original Twilight books.

This is Jack's last conversation with the Cullens for quite a long while.
