Chapter Three: Jesse

Last night I spent three hours doing homework. Then I had chores that I couldn't get out of. So no, I didn't get time to figure anything out. I did see to it ,though, that I was prepared for today. It's Latin. So I brought a Latin to English dictionary that I found deep in the garage last night. First thing I did, headed to the front office.

"Hello" The secretary is old, wrinkled, let's just say that she's not eye candy. I gave my head a slight tilt so I didn't actually have to look at her.

"Hi. I'm here to get some intelligence." She pointed her finger towards the door.

"The classrooms are that way."

"No.No. I didn't mean that! I need intelligence about a student. Her name is Della."

The secretary stood and leaned over the desk. "Listen, young man. This is not a game. I'll do you a favor and tell you what you so need to know. I could turn you over to the principal for stalking. But no, I'm kind enough that I won't need to do that. So tell me what you need. Then you need to scat." She sat back down.

I stumbled. "Um...um...does Della take Latin?"

"Is that all you need?" I nodded my head. She didn't look to convinced. She got up and walked over to a filing cabinet. With a flourish she pulled a paper out of a file and handed it to me. "This is the girls class schedule."

"Do you need it back?" I asked. It's weird. It was as if she was trying to give me extra information. When she shook her head, I ran out before she could change her mind.

Period One: Geometry       Rm 26       Mrs. Smiley
Period Two: World History  Rm 4        Mr. Kneely
Period Three: Free        
Period Four: Chemistry A/P Rm 201   Ms. Mackril
Period Five: English A/P      Rm 78     Mr. Macintosh
Period Six: Free

No Latin. Two free periods. No electives what-so-ever. She's a great artist. No art class. What kind of person, creature, whatnot is she?!
 
Flipping through a Latin to English dictionary takes awhile. Finally I found both of the words. Coming danger? No. Wait! I must have mixed them up in my mind. Danger coming. That's not good. Then again, it's just like everything else about this girl. Full of new questions.

"Hi. I'm here to get some intelligence."
"No.No. I didn't mean that! I need intelligence about a student."
The word 'intelligence' does not fit here in these snetences. I would use the word information instead.
I see your character is now starting to find some things out about Della. I still feel this character needs more information about him. I feel like I don't know him as well as I know your other two characters.
This chapter was good though and your story is developing.
