Toxic Lips

Chapter 1

Jenna Maxx's Pov
I awoke to the ringing of my alarm on my phone telling me to get up. I pull my head up and look outside. Who's bright idea was it to wake up at 6? Oh right. Mine.
I hit stop and rolled out of bed. I head to my bathroom and look in the mirror. Hmmm. Let's see. What could fix this?
I take off my pjs and head into the warm shower. I wash my hair which I know is a risk but I do it anyway. I step out and wrap a towel around my steaming body.
I go to my wardrobe and pick out high wasted black jeans with rips in the knees, a white crop top, a red big flannel and some black converse. Not my greatest outfit but it could work.
I did my hair in 2 French braids in the front, applied some mascara and eyeliner with a bit of nude lips and grabbed my black jansport backpack.
I grabbed an apple for breakfast and walked out the door waiting.
I was waiting for Kai. At this point he was my knight in shining armor. I currently didn't have a dad. After leaving my mom and I when I was 3, becoming on and off within my life, I have chosen not to trust men. But I have to find some adjustment to that. My mom and her boyfriend were happy. Having no dad and trust issues led to anxiety. Which led to attacks. Which led to therapy which led to medication. Which led to forgetting. Which led to more anxiety. And the cycle continues.
Stopping myself from thinking too much, I texted Kai. It's already 6:45. He usually is texting ME.
Hey. You still coming today?
I texted him eagerly. A few seconds later he replied.
Yea sorry, woke up kinda late. Omw.
Hm. He seemed more stressed than usual.

Damn. I woke up late. Thanks to my dad. Always working me to my limit. I got up hopped in and out of the shower, brushed my hair to the side and put on jeans and a black v neck. I grabbed my keys and ran to my car. I got a text from Jenna Maxx.
Hey. You still coming today?
I feel so bad stressing her out like this with her anxiety and all. I know she relies on me. I started to type sorry baby girl omw but then I deleted it. I don't wanna play her like that. So I just responded with a simple yea sorry, woke up kinda late. Omw.
Damn those stereotypes.

I saw him pull up a couple minutes later with bags under his eyes and no energy. Damn.
"Hey. How about we go to Starbucks and get some breakfast," I tried to make conversation. His face lit up with excitement and nodded.
On the drive to Starbucks, we listened to the radio and heard the same J. Cole song over and over. I wasn't complaining.
"Hi I'll have a caramel frappachino hold the whip extra extra Carmel with a egg croissant." I said to the lady. She seemed highly unamused. As I looked at her, she had a dark brown lip liner on with red lipstick and a weird purple eye shadow. She seemed to look like she was in her mid 60s. She asked me my name and I said Maxx. She looked at me with disgust and spelled my name wrong. 'Max'. I hate you.
Kai looked at me staring at my cup and laughed.
"What's wrong" he said laughing.
"Oh nothing is wrong with 'Max' why do you ask?" I remarked sarcastically turning around the cup.
"Sorry," he said putting his arm around my shoulder and leading me to the car. I got in.
In less than 15 minutes we arrived at Lake Monte High. Let the battles begin.
