I'm Jade. I'm sixteen years old. I never really cared about what I look like. I don't try to impress anyone but myself. I have a girlfriend named Serena and I'm insanely in love with her. Her and I met in fourth grade when John David pushed me off the swing and started kicking me because I was "too heavy and going to break it." She helped me up and took me to the nurse. "Hi, I'm Serena," she said. Best words I heard all year. We finally started dating in eighth grade when we realized we were bisexual. Then we had to start high school. Here's where life starts to become bullshit.
Serena and I were accepted to different high schools. Not a big deal, really. Except I was accepted into Juliard Academy in New York. She stayed in Reno, Nevada. We have a long distance relationship going and things are getting rough because of time and schedule differences. We make things work though. I'm trying to stay as positive as possible but I'm not sure how long we can keep this going. I'm hoping until we graduate so that we can go backpacking in Europe like we always talked about doing. We have big dreams. But sometimes dreams turn into nightmares.
