THE ONE

CHAPTER 2

New day, same me, lets see how my day goes. I got ready then went downstairs. My mom was already downstairs reading the newspaper.

"Morning mom"

"Morning Jess"

"Do you want me to drive you to school?"

"No thanks mom"

The bus arrived and I grabbed my bag and stepped out

"Bye mom"

"Bye Jess"

I got on the bus and to my surprise Elan was sitting by himself, his hand was on the seat next to him as if he was saving it for someone.

"Hey Elan"

"Hey Jess, this seat is for you"

"Thanks Elan"

I sat next to Elan and I automatically felt a tingling sensation in my stomach. I could stare at his stone cold blue eyes all day .

"So Jess, I have a question for you"

"And what would it be?"

"What do you say, you and me on a date, this Friday?"

"I think that would be great"

I sounded as if I didn't care because I didn't want to show any signs that I liked him

"Ok then, see you Friday at eight ' o clock"

"See you then Elan"

I got off the bus and I felt a smile come across my face from ear to ear, I haven't felt this happy in a while.

"Giselle, guess what?"

"What Jess?"

"Elan asked my on a date!"

"Really, that's so exciting!"

"So tell me Jess what did he say?"

"He was all like, you me on a date this Friday, then I was like "sure"

"I'm so happy for you, well I hope all goes well on your first date ever"

"Thanks, Giselle"

"Oh, do you have any tips for going on dates?"

This was my first date ever and on the back of my mind was the fact that I have cancer and I know that he's going to ask me why I always have a hat on.

"Well Jess, you should wear something cute, like a dress or something, make sure your breath smells good and make sure you feel comfortable. If the date in any way gets uncomfortable just act like you have to go to the bathroom."

"Thanks for this tips Giselle"

"How's the thing going Jess?"

By thing she meant the cancer and she was the only person that know about it because he;s been my best friend since third grade.

"It's okay, just feeling crappy as always"

"Well, I promise everything will get better just stay strong"

"Thanks Giselle"

I always receive words of encouragement from people which was nice but I do let the caner get to me.

It was time for my last class.

"Good afternoon class, welcome to physcology you must read this book and have a fifteen page paper due in before the ned of the semester."

It was the second day of school and I already have work due before the end of the semester.

I began reading this book and it read "the mind is the key to everything"

Those words for some reason touched me, I don't know why but I felt like I had a connection to that quote.

"Who is that girl and why does she always have a hat on, I bet she's bald"

I heard someone whisper that to someone next to them, I looked the way it came from and I saw that it was Samantha Waters, she is the most popular girl in school and she always makes fun of everyone.

I felt a tear com down on my eye, but I quickly wiped it off because I know I am better than her and I always have to "remember to keep a smile on my face" no matter how hard things get.

The bell rang and I walked out of class, to my surprise Elan was standing in front of my class as if he was wing for me.

"Elan"

"Hey Jess, I came to pick you up from class

"Aw that's nice, thanks"

"No problem Jess"

My eyes were still puffy from crying because of that comment

"Jess are you okay, your eyes are red"

"Yea, I'm fine Elan"

"No you are not tell me what really happened Jess"

"Samantha Waters made fun of me"
