Jumped Chapter 3 Summary

Killing Time

  • Dominique, Vivica, and Shayne punch one another while they wait for a teacher to arrive.
  • Dominique wants Hershheiser, her teacher, to raise her grade from a 70 to a 75 so that she can get more minutes on the basketball court, but he refuses and takes refuge in his classroom.
  • Because Dominique can't get to the classrooms until 7:55AM, she gets mad; the three girls go to the side door, wait for it to open, and sneak in.
  • Once inside the school, Dominique goes to talk to Coach to try to get her to change her mind. The conversation does not go well.
  • Shut down by Coach, Dominique is furious. Her friends can tell, but then Trina comes skipping down the hall and cuts between Dominique and her friends… too close for Dominique's comfort.
  • And so Dominique says, "Her. I'm gonna kick that ass at two forty-five" (3.60).
