Chapter 6

I woke up to a wet, cold feeling on my face and I realized that Jesse was pouring a bucket of water on me, "ARRGHHH JESSE !" I screamed when I found my voice, he was laughing hysterically as I jumped from my bed and attempted to strangle him. I lunged for his neck but he grabbed my hands and pinned me back down to the bed, "Easy there, sprinkle," he said, hovering over me.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I sputtered, "I tried waking you up like a normal person but god damn, you're a heavy sleeper, I tried for like half an hour but it wasn't working so I had to resort to more effect tactics." He said, then I realized he was fully dressed. I glanced at the clock, it was already 7:50, we had to be in school by 8:10, "Jesse get off me we're gonna be late!" I yelled, he just chuckled.

"Hey, I never knew your hair was curly." He said suddenly, I looked in the mirror, glaring. "That's cause you wet it you sick f*ck! Great! And now I have no time to straighten it!" I yelled at him, my hair was now a spew of messy curls. "It looks pretty," he said, touching a curl, then he noticed what he was doing, "I Uhh, I'll wait for you outside okay?" He said, then he left my room so I could get dressed.

I quickly dried myself then threw on some light grey sweats with a white long sleeve shirt, my legend blue's, and a baby blue beanie to tuck my Afro of curls under. I ran to the mirror to create a winged eyeliner, and added mascara. I looked pretty nice and I did in under 10 minutes, except for my hair which looked kind of crazy, I never wore it naturally I always straightened it, but not today I guess.

I grabbed my galaxy book bag, and my phone, and ran downstairs, "Bye Marie!" I called over my shoulder as I went outside, seeing Jesse leaning against his black escalade. I pouted, "I wanna go on the motorcycle." I whined, he laughed and ruffled my hair, "Next time Sprinkle," he said.

"But - but,"

"No buts." He said, putting his hand over my mouth and opening the door to the passenger side of his car, I slid inside.

He started driving and turned on the radio, immediately a rock station played and I started jamming out. He looked at me, "You're not gonna switch it to a pop station ..?" He asked incredulously, "What? No, I hate pop." I said wrinkling my nose.

"Get up, come on get down with the sickness," I sung along to the amazing music, "

"You know, you just keep surprising me, sprinkle." Jesse said, thoughtfully.

When we pulled up to the school, I saw kacey walking inside so I opened the door and ran out, "Bye jesse thanks for driving me!" I yelled, he rolled his eyes as laughed, everyone was staring, oh no, did I cause a scene? Oh well, I thought to myself, but it was way worse than I thought.

"Kacey!" I called, jumping on her, she laughed and we both fell to the floor. "Freaks," Melanie called as she walked by, I can't believe we used to be friends with her.

The day passed by in a breeze, I hadn't seen Blake all day and I was slowly starting to get over him, I would be okay without him. Just as long as I had kacey by my side, I didn't need anyone else. I was doing well, that was until I went to my locker and saw 2 figures in front of it.

Blake and Melanie were making out, passionately, they were kissing like they were trying to suck each other's souls out, it was gross. It was nothing like how he used or kiss me, I could feel angry tears brimming my eyes, this hurt I felt was overwhelming. I thought I didn't care anymore, but the scene in front of me, was proving me wrong, suddenly, I snapped. I spotted Jesse talking with some of freinds.
