(Playlist – Hello Bitches by CL)

Please understand how my mind works... it's a bit wonky. I have a vision, and I assume that everyone else sees what I do. Obviously that doesn't work. So, let me set this up for you:

Picture this, as Jade walks in the school doors, everything is in slow motion.... Hello Bitches!

Jade's POV:

The stage was set the night before. I had my cover story. I was driving my dad's black, 1969 Alfa Romeo convertible, since mine baby was being fixed. I pulled into the school parking lot. I looked like a million bucks. Everyone stopped and stared. "That's right, I'm back, bitches." I took my time walking the length of concrete to the opening of the school. Cue my arm candy.

"Hey sexy. Are you new here?" I asked Marco, as I removed my sunglasses.

"Yeah. You wanna show me the ropes?" He replied, walking closer to me.

I took my time looking him up and down. Truly I was enjoying this. "Come with me. I'll show you everything you need to know." He offered me his arm and I took it. I swear it was like the movies. The crowd parted for us. I don't know what had been going on while I was out, but I was going to find out today, and I was definitely going to take back my damn crown. This was my school.

Marco leaned down and whispered in my ear, "You know this is really corny, right?"

I couldn't help but laugh my ass off at that comment. So I stopped and shoved him up against the lockers. It surprised him, but he didn't move. "So you think it's corny? You want me to be the 'real' me? The 'every day' me? So you think you're hot, huh? Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't date outside of my species."

I whipped around and took a step to walk away but was pulled back, and had a pair of lips firmly pressed against mine. His tongue slipped across mine, begging for entrance to which I relented. My hands, which were imprisoned by his arms, finally found their freedom when he took one of his hands and placed it behind my head. So I took the freedom and moved my hands up his muscular arms, and into his hair, which hung loose. We finally had to come up for air. I realized that there was applause and cat calls from the student body. Once I was up righted, I flipped everyone off. "Fuck you. Apparently he found something he likes. Doesn't mean he is going to get any of it." I turned back towards Marco. "Um, that wasn't part of the plan. Now I'm lost."

"I know it wasn't." Well didn't he look like the cat that ate the canary? "Listen. I'm, the new boy. I don't mind being the boy toy even, but if you are going to be kissing anyone here, it's going to be me. Got it?"

Oh I got it. Loud and clear. "Sure, but you need to follow my lead too. I know this school, and everyone is under me. I am not used to having a boyfriend. Er, um, I mean a person. Well, someone with me. I take what I want, use it and lose it. Just follow my lead, okay?"

"Whatever you say, your Majesty." Marco gave an elaborate bow.

"Hey Marco, if I wanted to listen to an asshole I'd fart." I smiled at him, snapped my fingers signaling for Melissa and Jenny, and then started walking to first period.

"Oh my god, Jade. Who was that guy?" Melissa. Already hounding me.

"He's an old friend. Well, an un-friend now. I need details. What's happened while I have been out? Details. Now." I was being impatient. But this time I had to be, not because I wanted to.
