My name is Jane Sivaj. I was born December 10th, 1997, on the side of highway 96 at 12:05 am, not that I remember that tho. My moms name was Heather, and from what i’ve seen in pictures, she had long blonde hair that was wavy, and she kind of looked like an angel. My dads name was David, and he was really tall, I guess thats where I get it from. My parents died in a car crash at exactly 12:02 am. 3 minutes later I was saved from inside of her and was “born”. My mom never got to see me or hold me. Not that I care tho. Many people take my dry attitude towards them as rude and disrespectful. But honestly, this is how I deal with it. I never met them, so I’m okay.
Today I start high school. Yeah, yeah, I know its just high school. “Not a big deal” your probably thinking. Wrong. I'm moving to an all new school in Upper Florida with my grandma and older brother from upstate New York. I have no friends. Totally none. What am I going to do.
chap 1- Day 1: Monday September
I sit up in bed. The clock says 7:15. I let out a sigh, im so not ready to start school. I slowly roll out of bed and hop into the shower, then did my hair and makeup. I walked over to my closest and looked at my clothes. “Uhh!” i groaned. I had no clue what to wear. I dont know how people here dress, should i go classy or casual? Just dress like you would back home I thought to myself. I grabbed a pair of black high waisted jeggings, a white crop top, red sweater and tan heeled boots. Im from newyork, at my old school we dressed to the nines. I looked in the mirror and was satisfied and headed down stairs and waited for my grandma to take me to school. She finally came down stairs and grabbed her keys, “come on!” she said joyfully. I grabbed my givenchy purse and headed out the door. When i got there i had realized i had made a outfit mistake. Everyone in the parking lot was in regular jeans and sweatshirts or tshirts, or jeans and a semi cute top, but I stook out like a sore thumb. I looked at my grandma and saw her shocked look.
“What the hell?” I said.
“Well, at least your dressed to impress!” She said.
I nodded and got out of the car. Everyones heads turned around and stared at me. I heard a few whistles and caught glances from guys, so i grabbed my phone and started to play with it to avoid their awkward glares. Shit Jane, just go to the office I thought to keep myself calm. I walked in the school and found the office. Some lady in an unflattoring pant suit, probably from kholes, handed me a scheduale and told me to “Shoo” after nearly 2 hours and 40 minutes of waiting, so I did. I looked at the scheduale, “Class starts at 10 and ends at 11:50” it read. FUCK! i thought, It was already 11:30. Great, I stick out, and im late to class. I walked in front of the door and paused before walking in. I fluffed my hair, then opened the door.
I walked in slowely, looking around at all of the shocked, and excited faces. A very happy teacher walked over to me.
“Oh Hi Jane!” she said grabbing my hand and shaking it
. “Class, this is Jane Sivaj! Shes the new student!”
They all said hey and kept staring, the boys eyes bright with fascination, and the girls with envy. The teacher went on,
“As a new student its class rule to answer a few personal questions so we can get to know you!”
I nodded, “Sure okay”. “
Where are you from”
“New york”
“How old are you?”
“15”
“Who did you move here with”
“My grandma and older brother”
“Where are your parents”
“In the ground”
She stopped. I laughed, in order to break the silence. Nice going Jane. I thought. She did an awkward laugh.
“Okay, last one. How do you see a difference in your old school and your new one”
I looked around and laughed, “Well, obviously how we dress!”
The class laughed, agreeing. The teacher nodded, “Okay go take a seat Jane. Anyone have an extra desk?” “I do” a small voice said from the back. I looked back at her, she was pretty, but had a neck brace and a cast. “I do” another voice said, this one loud and eager. The girl was gorgeous, sat up front and obviously popular, unlike the other girl. “Feel free to sit in front with polly, of in back with Alex” I nodded and walked back to Alex, she seemed nicer. Polly gave me a confused and angry glare before turning around.
I sat down dext to alex, “Hi!” I said.
She smiled nervously, “Hey” she said back.
I turned over to my purse beside my desk and pulled out a pencil, looking up to see what is perhaps the most gorgeous boy in the world, sitting next to me smiling at me. He is tan, perfect teeth with medium lenght brown hair and glistening blue eyes.
“Hey hollywood” He said, grinning.
I laughed and shook my head. “Im not from hollywood!”
He nodded, “I know, but they say that everyone beautiful is from Hollywood, so i just figured you came from there too.”
I smiled and started to blush. Oh my god did he just call me beautiful?!?! I thought. We took notes for the remaining time in class and then the bell rang. I stood up and started collecting my books and looked up to see him again.
“I never got to tell you my name” He said, “Its Jake, Jake Gallenger”
I smiled wide, “Jake" I repeated.
“Wanna sit with me at lunch?” He asked, “We can get to know eachother”
I nodded “Definitely.”
“Cool” He said smiling, leading the way.
