#4 stole my heart

Chapter 23: First Day

Kelly's pov:

I'm sitting in my room balling my eyes out. It's 2 in the morning and I have to start getting ready for the first day of school in 4 hours. I've been crying like this since last night. Braden said he didn't wanna be friends anymore and I don't know what I did wrong to make him just ditch me like that. I didn't eat dinner, I didn't shower. I'm a mess. I'm a wreck without B. Oh where did I go wrong?

I finally cry myself to sleep at 3am.

My alarm goes off and I'm so not ready.
I drag myself out of bed and into the shower. After about 10 minutes, I come out and blow dry my hair. I change into a dress with boots and a sweater. I leave my hair down, and it's naturally straight so I don't do anything to it. I put on some chapstick and mascara. Then I grab my phone and head downstairs for breakfast. I make myself a bowl of cereal and drink some apple juice. After I'm finished, I get my bag ready and head out the door to my driveway, where my dad's waiting for me. He drives me to school because my bus is always wicked crowded. It takes us about 15 minutes to get there.

"Have a nice day!" My dad yells as I step out of the car.

"You too." I say back, praying that I survive school without Braden here to protect me

I walk inside the double-doors and head to my homeroom. On the way, I pass Jaden. He blows me a kiss. I had completely forgotten I was dating him. I smile and blow one back. When I arrive at my homeroom, I sit down at a desk and hold in my urge to cry. We get our lockers, combos and schedules. I open up my locker and put my bag in. We're only gonna need a pencil and folder the today, so that's all I bring.

The halls aren't that rambunctious the first day, so that won't be a problem. My brainstem should be fine.

I take a deep breath and head to first period, History. I'm in honors, although I shouldn't be, I just had an easy teacher in 9th grade. But this year, I have the "F," as the 10th graders last year called her. It's nearly impossible to pass her class and I'm super nervous. So I really hope Jaden is in this class.

I walk inside to see the class full of wild sophomores throwing papers and whispering secrets to their "squad" members. But no Jaden in sight. I wince a little. I take a seat next to Abby, the girl who is always kind. She smiles at me and I smile back. Then the "F" walks in, but she tells us her name is Mrs. Gruff. She gives us our syllabuses and soon enough, the bell rings. Whew.

I have Math second period. I walk inside and Jaden is in this class. I run over to him and give him a long hug. He picks me up and twirls me around. Once he sets me down, I take a seat next to him. The class seems to go by pretty quick, but that's probably just because the whole time, I didn't take my eyes off of Jaden.

Next was science. No one I knew was in the class and it took forever for the bell to ring.

Then I had art.

Then French.

Then study hall.

Lastly, I have English. My eyes get watery when I see who's in this class. Braden.

I take a seat as far away from him as possible. The teacher tells us to stand up though, as he's going to give us assigned seats.

"Ok." He begins "First row goes George, Kayla, Brady, Josh, Samantha. Second row is John, Steven, Rebecca, Mackenzie, Rachel. Third row is Madison, Doug, Theo, Jake, Cleo. Then the back row goes Faith, Jack, Braden, Kelly, and Rob."

Oh no.

I sit next to him?

Here come the waterworks...
