It All Started With A DARE.

✿01

“Hey, mum! Dad!!” I shouted, running down the stairs with one strap of my school bag hanging on my shoulder without even breathing heavily.

I rushed into the dining room and picked toasted bread from Dad's plate.

“Hey! I was just about to enjoy that,” My dad grumbled with a snap, while I smiled teasingly at him.

“Good morning, Dearie,” My mum greeted, wiping the water off her hands with the blue napkin as she walked over to dad and placed the napkin neatly on the table.

“Ready for school?” She asked, scanning me over with her eyes.

“Yep,” I answered biting a small portion of the toasted bread before chewing then adjusted my rectangular framed silver eyeglasses.

“When will you get to dress like a girl?” Dad asked me while I rolled my eyes.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with what I'm wearing. Oversized baggie gray trousers and black gray crop hoodie jacket were just okay for me and definitely my style.

“Dad, there's nothing wrong with the way I'm dressing,” I told him, finally finishing the single toast bread I was eating and dusting my right hand on my trouser.

“She will change when she starts going on dates,” Mum joked.

“Mum!” I groaned, rolling my eyes while feeling my cheeks heat up awkwardly as I clutched my right hand on the strap of my black school bag.

“You are Nineteen sweetie, and you haven't even had a date once,” She pouted and my face fell, were they monitoring me all the time.

“That's because she would have beaten their asses up,” Dad laughed while I frowned.

“Dad! Seriously?” I asked him now, feeling annoyed.

“Just joking,” He whispered, shrugging his shoulder at me.

“Okay, I'm leaving for school,” I told them and was about to hop out of the dining room.

“Jade!” My mum called with concerns in her voice, making me turn around to face her as she placed her arms over dad's shoulder while the both of them gave me worried looks.

“Promise to stay out of trouble in your new school,” Mum said while I sighed.

“Jade, we don't want what happened in your previous school to repeat itself,” Dad said firmly in his deep voice while I nodded.

“You both know it wasn't my fault,” I told them as mum nodded, thinning her lips together.

“Promise us,” My mum said while I snapped my gaze to her as she gave me that pleading look of hers, making me sigh.

“I'm not promising, you know how I have anger issues immediately, but I will try,” I answered as every glint of hope in their faces drained off while I walked out of the dining room making my way to the entrance of our house.

I knew quite well in myself that I can't make such a promise to what they just said, I don't look for troubles, but troubles always had their way of coming to me first before I attack back without having a second thought.

Okay! I'm Jade Carson, the only child of my parents and a crazy nerd.

Furthermore, I said crazy, right?

Yeah, I did… most people when they hear someone being a nerd, they have this mentality that the person has to have this fragile and weak personality who just finds hope in books.

Hell, no! I was the opposite and different, except that I also find hope in my books too.

I was fierce, arrogant, and don't give a fucking shit about whom the hell you are. One of the reasons I got transferred to another school by my previous school was after getting myself in a bloody fight with a stupid bitch who doesn't know her place. She was lucky she didn't get to die in my hands.
