I woke up the next morning to my screaming alarm clock. I hit the off button and climbed out of bed. I walked over to my closet and picked out my outfit for the day. I chose a purple long sleeve with black skinny jeans and my black converses. I went into my bathroom and took a shower. I got out and dried my hair and curled it. I got dressed and then did my make up in a light smokey eye with mascara. I looked at my clock and decided I had enough time to paint my nails so I did them in a purple that matched my shirt. I looked at my alarm and decided I had to go now but I was gonna be a few minuets late for school so I had to hurry. I put on my leather jacket and grabbed my book bag and ran down the stairs. I was about to walk out the door when Mrs. Wolfe stopped me.

"You haven't left yet?" She asked.

I shook my head "No but I'm leaving right now."

As I finished I heard footsteps on the stairs and looked up to see James coming down them.

"James I want you to drive Jade to school today." Mrs. Wolfe said.

"But mom I don't want to." He said.

"You will do as your told James and she's gonna be late if you don't." She said.

"And I'm supposed to care why?" He asked her.

"Because I'm your mother and I said so." She said.

He groaned "Fine!"

"Good now you two better leave before your both late." She said.

I followed James to his car and got in. He put his book bag in the back and got in and started the car. He drove until he got about a block away. He stopped the car.

"Get out." He said.

"What?" I asked.

"I said get out." He said.

I got out of his car and closed the door and he drove off. I began to walk the rest of the way to the school. I was almost there when it began to rain. Great now I'm going to be soaked. I continued to walk to school when a car pulled up beside me. The people inside just so happened to be Alice, Brian, and Brittany. They rolled the windows down and began to throw trash at me.

"HA HA! Loser!" They yelled.

I was then thankful for the rain as a few tears slid down my face while they drove on. I walked into the school just as the bell rang. I groaned inwardly. Just great! Could this day possible get worse. I went to the the bathroom and cleaned myself up then I went to the office and signed myself in and got my late note from Jennifer the secretary. I went to my first period and gave the teacher my note. She nodded and told me what we were doing. I went to my seat and sat down next to Patrice and began to work on my project. I knew then and there that this was going to be a long day.

James' POV

Mom made me give Jade a ride this morning so I dropped her off about a block from school. I figured she would be fine but then as I pulled out of sight it began to rain. I felt a little bad but I just shook it off. But she should be fine right?

Jade's POV

Finally! School is over for the day. I walked outside and began the long walk home. I was almost there when a car pulled up beside me and began to follow me. All of a sudden the people inside started throwing eggs at me. It felt like Déjà vu from this morning. They drove on so I didn't quite see who it was but it was James' car so I have a pretty good feeling of who but it doesn't really bother me any after the day that I've had. I just want today to be over with already. When I finally got home I saw James' car sitting in its usual parking spot. When I walked passed it there was an empty carton of eggs in the passenger seat. Well I was right about that. I walked into the house and Mrs. Wolfe looked up at me and she gasped.

"Oh my! Dearie what happened to you?!" She exclaimed.

"Nothing." I replied

"Your wearing egg dearie. That's not nothing." She said.

"It doesn't matter." I said.

"Yes it does but I won't push you to tell me if you don't want to." She said.

"Thanks." I said.

"No problem dearie. Now why don't you clean up?" She asked.

I nodded and went up stairs to my room. Once inside I got a tank top and a pair of shorts and went into my bathroom to take a shower. Once I was done I got out and dried off. I decided to let my hair air dry. I got dressed and went down stairs to see if Mrs. Wolfe needed any help. I walked into the kitchen and saw James making out with Steph. They stopped when I walked in but I turned around and walked up to my room, slammed my door shut, walked over to my bed, and just cried into my pillow. I felt myself fall asleep. Well there's one more night to add to the nights that I've cried myself to sleep over James.

Life really sucks sometimes.
