A/N: Hey guys! 72 views I am flipping out!!! Thank you so much! I love you all! You make me so happy! I was so excited to edit I'm pretty sure my classmates think I'm insane...which I am. Anyway enjoy this chapter! It's long xD

Plus Runaway by Aurora while reading! I don't know why....

I sat at my usual table by the window, and patiently waited for Van to get here.

She didn't have any classes with me except for lunch, and I needed to talk to her.

When she finally got here there was no, 'hi, how is your day!' Oh no, I got Van's famous death glare.

"Who the hell is Jackson?!" She practically interrogated me.

"Just some guy." I reply simply with a shrug.

"Sure...like I'll believe that because Tiffany Branch is jealous of you." She says as if she hasn't processed what she was saying.

"Yeah. I talked to the perky princess in social studies class." I said with a sarcastic happy voice, even though I was going for the,'OMG, I'm Tiffany and am way better than you', voice.

"I know that your not telling me everything."

"Keep telling yourself that Van, and you'll start to believe it even though I don't know what your talking about!"

"Yeah...I so believe you." The amount of sarcasm in her sentence told me otherwise.

"Mkay. Whatever you want to think Van." I say as my nose leads me to the lunch line.

But of course, me being my very uncoordinated self...it doesn't go unnoticed.

I ran straight into someone causing them to drop their tray.

"Great just absolutely freaking great!" An angry female voice shouts causing me to flinch.

"Sorry-" I started to say but was cut off.

"Watch it loser! This shirt is worth more than you'll ever be!" The girl I now recognized as Rachel flying monkey to Tiffany hisses at me.

"Um- it was an accident, and before you so rudely interrupted me I was apologizing." I point out rubbing the back of my neck while she glares at me.

Wow...what a jerk!

"Whatever freak!" She taunts storming off back to her friends.

Well, someone can make another mean girls movie off of her.

"Hey." I heard a familiar voice say.

Startled, I turn around and am met with Jackson's chest.

He's literally like a gazillion feet taller then me! My neck hurts from how far I had to crane it upwards in order to see his face!

"Jesus-" DID HE JUST CUT ME OFF?!

"Not exactly." He chuckles. Jerk wad.
