Run Away

Prologue

Hi my name is Jade. I am 17, I go to school at Bradford High. I am a senior. This is one of the worst years of my life. I have long, straight, black hair. This is one of the years when everything takes an unexpected turn for the worst and to get away from all my problems I do what I do best, runaway.

Chapter 1

It was a normal day in Bradford. I had just left my Grandparents house to walk to school. The school is about 10 minutes in walking distance away.

I had just got to the school, everyone glancing at me. It was always like this but I never new why. Since my first day here a week ago it was like I was an alien and no one talked to me only the teachers.

I got to my locker. It shocked me when I closed it and saw the head cheerleader standing there staring at me.

"Umm can I help you?" I asked trying to be polite.

"Um Jade right?" she asked clearly nervous.

"Yeah and thers is no need to be nervous I am not gonna bite your head off cause I'm new I have a heart just like you, you know!" I said getting tired of everyone taking nervous glances at me.

"Oh well I'm not nervous because of that I was just informed from my cheer coach that you were in gymnastics and cheered on the team Cheermerica back in the states?" she asked sounding excited.

"Um yeah!What about it?" I asked politley.

"Well based on your background I was wondering if you would like to join our team?" She asked hopefully.

I was so excited I love cheering it is literally my life since.... no Jade don't think about it. I felt my eyes get watery but pushed it back I looked at her and said,

"Are you serious oh my gosh yes I was gonna ask but to nervous to!"

"Are you kidding since we found out we weren't gonna take no for an answer so I'm glad you said yes oh and by the way I'm Alex short for Alexandria!"

"Cool well you already know my name so yeah!"

"Haha yeah so come we need to go to the office to get your schedule changed then get you into a uniform and get you ready for tomorrows peprally."

I followed Alex to the office and got my schedule changed to

Free period (since that's when the cheerleaders practice) Calculus, English, Drama, History, Chemistry, Tutorials, and Athletics.

After we got it changed we went to the girls locker rooms and got me fitted for a uniform then shoes. I got changed into short black shorts and a white shirt that stops just an inch or two below my boobs and shows of my belly button peircing.

"You have a peircing?" she asked.

"Um yeah is that a problem?"

"Uhh kinda you can't wear it at the peprally but you can wear it now and when you are in uniform like julie but you have to take it out at peprally!"

"Ok no biggie!" I said.

This is apparently our practice outfits and we have 5 more different colors one for eachday of the week and if you don't wear the right one you have to run 4 laps of the track for punishment.

I so I shoved the extra 5 in the Bradford High Duffel bag she gave me for all my stuff and the shoes and uniform in. Turns out we have to be here at 7:30 so we have an hour and a half since school starts at 8 so its best if I just show up int he out fit with my clothes for every other day except tomorrow.
