Y/N's pov:

I wake up to the annoying alarm I set last night. I try to snooze, but my mom snatches my pearphone.

"I already let you sleep in for 20 minutes. Now get up before I have to drag you out of bed"

My mom's soothing voice made me want to sleep even more. I rubbed my eyes and stood up. I quickly got ready and stormed to the kitchen to eat breakfast. The morning was passing by immensely fast. I thought I'd be excited to go to a new school, but right now, I'm more stressed than anything.

"Not hungry?" my mom asked.

I noticed I was playing around with my food instead of eating it.

"I guess."

"Here, take a few fruits. You can eat them at school if you get your appetite back."

My mom proceeded to stuff my bag with various fruits. I'm glad I have her by my side. I know that even if things go bad at my new school, she will be there to support me.

I looked at the time on my pearphone and realized I have to go. I didn't wanna be late on my first day. I grabbed my car keys and rushed out without a word, leaving a confused look on my mom's face.

I park my car near the school. I try to prepare myself. I'm not ready to step out.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Alright. I'm ready.

I stepped out of my car and made my way to the entrance of the school. The first thing I needed to do was find my locker, so I did exactly that. I saw my locker from a distance. A group of friends were standing next to it, casually socializing. I walked up to my locker and opened it. I stayed silent while putting random shit in there. The group went quiet.

"Y/N?"

I hear a familiar voice call my name. Who could possibly know me here? This is my first time in this school. Besides, I never really had any friends outside my old school.

I finally turned my head to the mystery person.

Holy shit.

It's Jade. Jade West. MY EX.

"Jade.." I managed to mutter something out.

"You guys know each other? That's great!" a short redhead enthusiastically shouts, making my ears hurt.

"Great? Yeah, sure." I reply with a blank face.

The bell rings and interrupts us. Everyone heads to class. Of course, I had the same class as Jade. The universe just hates seeing us apart, doesn't it?

Jade's pov:

Everyone keeps talking about there being a new student at our school. I don't really care about that. I'll be ok with them as long as they aren't annoying like Tori.

I entered Hollywood Arts and walked up to my locker where my... friends... were standing. They were talking about something completely uninteresting to me.

"Jade, look! I think that's the new student. She's coming towards us. Maybe her locker is here." Tori said.

"We should say hi!" Cat continued.

"I don't care." I muttered.

That was true. I didn't care. But I did look at her, I wanted to see what she looked like. As she came closer, I realized she looks familiar.

Holy shit.

It's Y/N. My ex.

She opened her locker and started stuffing her belongings in there.

"Y/N?"

She froze for a few seconds. Did she recognize my voice? She turned her head to me in curiosity. It looked like she just saw a ghost the moment she saw my face. Is she still not over me?... Pfft, whatever. I couldn't care less.

I think.

"Jade.." she finally spoke, although it sounded like the words were struggling to leave her mouth.

"You guys know each other? That's great!"

"Great? Yeah, sure."

Her voice sounded emotionless. I couldn't understand what she was feeling. I couldn't understand what I was feeling either. All I know is that now, Beck isn't my only ex in the school.

The bell rang and interrupted us. Everyone heads to class. Of course, I had the same class as Y/N. The universe just hates seeing us apart, doesn't it?
