12: Sad Kid

- ♤ Jade's POV ♤ -
(Friday: Morning)

The day goes by unexpectedly fast and soon enough I find myself approaching my last period class.

Our teacher was late as usual as I saw the crowd of kids outside the room door. I leaned against the wall near them and pulled out my phone.

I'd usually just listen to music, drowning out everyone's conversations. But, today I couldn't do that since my father broke my earphones. And to make matters worse, I was stuck next to Jasmine and her crowd of "popular" friends.

A bunch of girls were cooing over Jasmine's new braces. Meanwhile, the rest were talking about other stuff. I did my best not to listen to their annoying blabbering as I tapped away on my phone, texting Mimi.

Too occupied by my phone I didn't notice Jasmine coming over to me until she grabbed my phone. I instantly reacted trying to get it back but she held it out of reach, "Awe, you texting your daddy to come pick you up or sum?" She laughed with the rest of her friends.

"Give it back!" I demanded still trying to grab it but I couldn't due to our height difference. So, I punched her in her pelvis as she let out a groan. But, she didn't budge. She continued to laugh as she pushed me from her looking at my phone's screen.

Her smirk then faded into a frown as she realized who I was talking to. She then grabbed my wrist and dragged me into a nearby bathroom.

"What the fuck is your problem?!" She practically screams at me catching me off guard as I flinch.

"My problem? What the fuck is your problem?! You've been nothing but a fucking jerk to me! Just because of your "friends". You decided to satisfy their needs except for yours! You broke me, you hurt me. The only form of love I was receiving, you took that from me! And, now that I've found someone that actually cares you wanna trip?! What the fuck do you want?!" I full out scream at her, emotions seeping into my voice.

She then stared at me silently as she scoffed, punching one of the stalls as she let out a groan. "What does he-she have that I don't got?! I'm better than it! I look better, dress better, have more money than it! So, why choose that thing over me!"

"Did you not just hear what I said?" I saw lowly taking a step closer to her, squinting my eyes at her, "You really only care about yourself..." I chuckle in disbelief, "I can't believe I almost fell for such a complete incompetent assho-"

I quickly held my mouth shut as rushed over to one of the empty stalls. "Jade, you good?" Jasmine asks worriedly walking to the stall's doorway that I was in.

"D- Don't." Was all I could get out before throwing up some more.

"Jade, what the hell you throwing up for?!" I hear her yell behind me as I held my dreads back. My body shook uncontrollably as my gagging finally came to a stop. I pulled the handle to flush the toilet, wiping my mouth off with a paper towel before brushing past Jasmine, "It's just my anxiety..." I say trying to leave out the bathroom. But, she pulled me back earning a smack across the face, "DON'T TOUCH ME!" I screamed, my body still shaking, "Don't you ever come near me again..." I finish tears brimming my vision as I quickly ran out the bathroom. Meanwhile, Jasmine held the side of her face in shock, just a lost expression, trying to figure out life.

- ♧ Jasmine's POV ♧ -

"Shit..." I sigh sliding down against the stall, still holding the side of my face. I'm not gone lie, that hurt like a huge ass bitch.

She told me not to come near her again...

But, I can't just stay away from her, I really love her... I've got to make this up to her. And, I think I have an idea on how...
