The Necklace

Chapter 4: Ex-best Friends

              *Jasmine's POV*

I'm Jasmine the MOST popular and the, by far, the prettiest girl in school.  Everyone loves me except little miss I never care Zoe, but who cares about her.  People adore my curly dark brown hair and beautiful brown eyes, guys are lining up to be mine.  I bet even Jason, the king of the school, is trailing after me.  I just got my necklace last night and it automatically activated so Jason MUST be my soulmate I mean no other girl is pretty enough for him.  He will finally be mine today. 

I pulled up to the school in my red convertible and took the parking spot right next to Jason's car.  I checked my makeup, my hair, and then made sure my necklace made out of silver was displayed proudly on my neck. Then I walked into the school I was late, hey it takes time to look THIS good, so everyone was in class already.  I decided to just skip first period I mean it was PE I don't want to get all sweaty before seeing Jason. 

As I was walking down the hall I bumped into someone.  I heard a voice say," S-sorry I didn't mean to um... I'm Vincent, I'm new here."  I glared at him he was lucky that my bag didn't get scratched, he stood there looking me up and down with his chocolate brown eyes that were slightly covered by his dark brown hair.  I said to him in my most poisonous tone to keep it fro ever happening again," I'm Jasmine and if you ever talk to me or bump into me again I'm going to slap you.  I'm the best girl in school and only deserve to talk to the VERY best.  Now get out of my way."  I started to walk away when he grabbed my wrist and said," Wait! Do you have a necklace because I-" he never got to finish that sentence because I slapped him.  I leaned down close to his ear and said," I warned you." I turned and walked through the hallway.  That boy thinks he and I are meant to be hahaha very funny.  How dare he grabbed my wrist like that.  I'M THE QUEEN BEE OF THE SCHOOL YOU DON'T DO THAT!  The bell went off signifying the end of first period.  Next was chemistry and I have Jason in my class.  See destiny must want us together I mean we have chemistry together hahahaha I'm so clever.

            *Zoe's POV*

Carlota and I were talking once PE ended,"Zoe," she said.

"What?"

"You know what the best part of PE was?"

"The fact Jasmin, I mean princess, never showed up"

"YESSS!!! Maybe she got hit by a train!"

"Hahahaha maybe in our dreams, I heard her heels as she went by the gym. Click, click, click.  Ugh! It was sooooo annoying I wanted to tell the teacher she was out there.  I would love to watch her play rugby."

"Haha same.  Man I hate that girl.  Especially after what she said to you."

"I know right," I interrupted her I didn't want her to talk about it.  You see Jasmin and I used to be friends, but when highschool started she went off with the popular crowed and abandoned me.  To make matters worse, in freshman year, we were talking about our favorite band, The Redwings, and she was going on about how the main singer was going to be her husband. 

"Oh Zoe how dare you like my husband."

"Well I'm sorry to break the news to you, but he's cheating on you."

"To bad he only dates models and I fit the bill."

"Yeah haha," I tried to laugh it off, but how could she say that.  She went on to say about how I couldn't be a model because I wasn't pretty or skinny enough.  The following year I let it slip to her that it hurt me.  She started to yell at me called me a few names which I would care not to repeat in front of everyone. 

"I got to go to class now Carlie.  See you after class!"

As I was walking towards my next class I was stopped by a teacher. "Ms. Armani my I please talk to you."

"Um... Sure what is it."

"May I ask you to watch over a new student.  He is going to be in you're next couple classes if you could walk with him and help him feel welcomed that would be grand."

"Yes Miss." I replied.  She told me to stay and she went running off.  She came back with a tall, skinny boy with dark brown hair.  "This is Vincent, Zoe."  She walked away leaving this boy with me.  "Hi," I said as I stuck my hand out," I'm Zoe Armani.  Welcome to this death trap we call high school." I heard a sweet chuckle, but no eyes.  He wouldn't look at me.  "Hey," I heard his soft voice say.  I looked at him questionably before I grabbed his chin and moved his head up.  That's when I saw it a red mark across his cheek," Jasmin did this...  didn't she.". His soft brown eyes looked at me filled with sadness as he slowly nodded his head.  "You know her," Vincent croaked out.  "Yeah we are ex-best friends.
