-Jaydas p.o.v.-

I stepped out of line heading back to the table when I saw Erica leaving with her stuff. She was talking with Lulu as she left with her. I felt a ping of jealousy inside me. Why didn't she tell me she was leaving? I sighed just throwing away my food not really wanting to eat.

After what felt forever the bell rang signalling the end of lunch. I got up going to my next class looking around for Erica. I slumbed in my chair after the bell rang and the teacher started talking. I looked down drawing in my notebook when the door opened. I looked up to see Erica walk in and go up to the teacher. She started whispering something to her and the teacher nodded and she left again. What is she up too?

-at practice-

I sat on the bleachers like I normally do to watch Erica practice. They walked onto the field talking and handing something around.

"Hey" I jumped clutching my chest. Kyle started laughing.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you" he said and I shook my head.

"Its fine" I said.

"So, what did you need?" I asked.

"Nothing, just wanted to talk" he said looking at the girls practice.

"About what?" I asked.

"I don't know, I guess about-"

"Erica?" I asked.

"Actually about you" he said looking me in the eyes. His eyes were a bright green, like sea green.

"What about me?" I asked.

"Well, you're dating my ex girlfriend and I don't know anything about you" he said and I squinted my eyes at him.

"Okay?" I said more as a question.

"I just want to get to know you is all, Erica is still a really good friend of mine" he said.

"Okay, well, what do you want to know?" I asked.

"Where are you from?" He asked.

"Florida" I said.

"But I grew up all over" I said and he cracked a smile.

"Nice. How did you end up out here?" He asked.

"Just did" I said.

"Okay, what do your parents do for a living?" He asked. I looked down at my hands.

"What did I say?" He asked and I shook my head.

"You didn't, its just-" I cut myself off.

"I won't tell anyone its just between us" he said and I tucked my hair behind my ear.

"My dads dead" I said.

"Oh, I'm so sorry I-"

"Don't even be sorry because I'm not, I'm glad he's dead" I said looking up at him. He furrowed his eyebrows at me confused.

"You are?" He asked.

"He deserved what he got and what he got was the death sentence and I wish my mom would get it too" I said and shrugged.

"But why?" He asked.

"Let's just say my dad was a bad man who did bad things, and so has my mom" I said.

"Did they do anything to you?" He asked.

"Like what? Abuse me? Attempt to rape me, sell my body, try to murder me? Then yea he did. He was an alcoholic and my moms a drug addict" I said not caring that he knew.

"He did all of those things to you?" He asked and i nodded.

"I was six when I went to my first foster home. My whole life I went from my parents to foster homes, to my mom or to my dad if they weren't in jail all because no one could get a hold of any family until now of course my aunt and uncle" I said.

"Im-"

"Don't even say sorry, I don't want your pity, I want any pity at all" I said and he nodded.

"Okay" he said and I stood up.

"I think I'm gonna go now" I said turning away.

"Wait, I'm having a pool party Saturday if you want to come" he said and I looked back at him.

"After hearing all of that, you still want to know me?" I asked.

"Well, yea" he said with a shrug.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you're the strongest girl I have ever met. To go through all of that and still be here today smiling, is amazing" he said.

"Thanks, I think" I said and he smiled.

"I hope to see you there beautiful" he said and walked off. Did he just call me beautiful?

I am definitely not telling Erica what he said.
