Chapter 7 | Round 2

Jamie's POV

Tuesday. Round 2 of hell, or what some like to call 'school.'

I was never really a morning person, and knowing that I had to pull myself out of bed and go to a place that was completely foreign to me with people who I didn't know, didn't like or didn't talk wasn't all that appealing to me.

"Ten minutes." I muttered to myself, "You're allowed ten more minutes of sleep and then you have to get up."

My eyes slowly closed as I entered a relaxing a peaceful state of mind where my thoughts ran wild and were free. I was in a happy and safe place. I was home in Geelong with my friends and family. Everything was good. Life was good.

But that was no longer a reality. That was the past, and the life that I had was now gone for good.

Unwillingly opening my eyes once more, I checked the digital clock in the corner of my room.

8:59

It sure had been more than ten minutes. School started at 9 and mum was probably going to kill me if I was late.

Hurriedly, I raced to my wardrobe and rummaged through the drawers in a frenzy looking for my uniform. I'd only unpacked my clothes a few days ago, but the house was a chaotic mess of boxes that I still had no clue where everything was.

Out the corner of my eye, after all the effort I had spent of going through my whole wardrobe at least three times or so, I spotted my uniform hanging on the back of the door.

Knowing that I only had one minute to spare to get dressed, brush my teeth and hair as well as multiple other thing wasn't very comforting, but I knew it wasn't impossible to achieve.

I raced around the house as fast as I could, not even bothering to check my appearance as I quickly grabbed an elastic that was lying on my floor and did my hair up in a messy bun with bits of hair coming out from all angles.

Slightly going a little more overtime than planned, I managed to actually get out the door at about 9:10.

While I was walking to school at a quick pace, I made note of all the houses and the street name to ensure I knew how to get home. Yesterday had been quite embarrassing when Chris had asked me where I lived and I couldn't even give a proper answer because I didn't even know myself.

But not knowing where I lived had turned into what I felt was the start of an amazing friendship. If it wasn't for that and the crazy, freakish Sydney weather, I wouldn't know anything about Chris or what was like.

It basically proved that you couldn't really guess about about a person until you actually head from them themselves, which I guess had been the case when I had first with Ethan.

Maybe I had predicted and foreseen what he'd be like in the future from meeting just two years ago. A pretty boy, with a pretty face. Nothing more. Nothing less. But deep within, a cold heart that couldn't be tamed.

Back onto the topic of 'Chris', I never realised how much we were quite alike, in a personality wise sense. We sort of thought the same way, had the same sense of humour and similar-ish interests. He also had a trustworthy and honest appeal which made talking to him really easy and not awkward at all. And that was good for me, since I was a really awkward person around people that I didn't really know.

I took long strides as I walked into school having absolutely no clue where I was going for my first class of the day. It didn't help with the fact that mind was buzzing with thoughts which made me lack even more concentration.
