Everything changes now. Jade Hastings is a 16 year old boarding school student. Suffering from fake friends and ultimate bitch disease, she is ready to start her junior year. What she doesn't realize is what to come. New friends, betrayal and even a...
To be honest, it's really nothing, as you might think. I finally see Jade walking towards us her face happy. Piper and I smile at her, but when she walks in front of this really slow couple, I catch a glimpse of... Well... My crush from freshmen year. Jacob Millers. Who knew I liked him and liked to be mean about me behind my back. And he was also who's friends hated me for no reason.
Good times.
As Jade comes over to us I put on the smile I had when I saw her and the one before I saw Jacob. "HEEEEEEEY JADEEEE!!!!!" I envelope her in a bear hug.
When I thought Jacob passed by, I let her go. Only to accidentally meet him in the eye across the hall. God. He's walking over to us. Fuckety fuck.
I look over at my friends but they're hugging and totally oblivious to me right now.
I shift uncomfortably in my standing stance as he walks over. Or walks by. Or walks past.
Whatever you want to call it.
Just as I think he hasn't seen me after all, he walks over, and MAGICALLY, some guys-including his old friends- aren't trailing too far from him. Great.
"Hey Rose," he nods in acknowledgment.
I need to be mean. Mean.
But he just said hey.
I don't give a damn. He deserves it.
But I'm not really a mean person now, am I?
True.
I need to act like he doesn't affect me and what's happened happened, and that I don't remember or care about anything.
...Right.
I kind of smiled at him and nodded. "Jake."
I turned to my friends, acting totally oblivious to the fact that he was still there and that he was titling his head towards me whilst looking at his friends and sharing his secret smile that made me suspicious.
Son of a butcher.
He used to be like that in 9th, too. Either him or his friends would act like that, and I would just be there ignoring him, hoping that they would forget I even existed. And then this girl came along who I totally trusted because she seemed nice to me and I told her my secrets and insecurities. And then she used it against me.
I won't forget.
