BENEATH A PRETTY GIRL SMILE

NEW FRIENDS

The alarm went off. I twist and turn in bed. "Mmhhm please tell me there is some emergency and that there will be no school today "I mumbled to no one in particular. With much mumbling I drag my ass out of bed and wash my face to get rid of the sleep, and then hop in the shower. The water was amazing. I then blow dry my hair and put it in a pony tail. I then grab my black nickers and a pink and white top. I then look in my closet for my jacket when I spot Jays jacket and I grab the both of them and place them in my back pack. I grab my new white simulation sneakers out of the box and head down the stairs for breakfast.
As I make my way down stairs I could heard my mother talking or rather asking if anyone know the time I came in last night. No one seems to have a satisfying answer for her due to the pale expression she had on.
" Good morning guys" I said trying to lighting the mood. Everyone turn to look at me knowing what question their going ask but saving them the trouble I speak first. " I came in some minutes to eight no biggy"" by the way did you all know that there is a beach nearby?" I asked looking at my mom. She was in a dress with her blonde hair in a messy bun setting the table for breakfast.
" yeah I know its amazing I went to check it out yesterday" Kevin answered.
" oh how come I didn't see you? I asked him while placing my bag on the sofa and my shoes on the mat and heading over to the table to see what's for breakfast.
" I saw you though you were with Jay" he replied winking at me but making sure mom or dad didn't see.
"Oh cool" I said.
"Are you going to eat breakfast?" My mom asked looking at me. Wow I taught she was going to ask about Jay, maybe she didn't hear.
"Yeah mom thanks" I said and sat down between dad and Kevin. My mom places my plate in front of me.  It was filled with pancakes and eggs. From week I haven't had a proper home cook breakfast since mom would always say something that would make me leave early.
I gobble down my breakfast with much satisfaction. I relax my chair and sip my tea. The table was quiet only fork noises could be heard. Kevin was almost finished too. So deciding to break the silence I asked " hey Kev are you gonna ride with me to school or your friends gonna pick you up"
"Am riding with jerry" he simple stated and stand up.
I too stand up after my last sip of tea. I then took my plate to the sink and wash my hands. Mom and dad haven't finish yet. I put my shoes on and grab my bag.
"Bye mom and dad" I said taking up my keys off the stand."
“Bye honey" dad said sweetly " have a nice day."
"Bye" mom said dryly.
I know she is still hang up by the fact that I came in last night without she knowing. I hop in my car and drove to school. I didn't see Kevin outside so am guessing he is already at school.
I pull up in the parking lot. I grab my bag and walk towards school doors. As I reach at the door I was greeted by Sash warm hug.
"Finally your here bell is gonna ring any minute now." She said.
" am here timer" I said teasingly. And with that the bell ring. It was Friday so Sash and I got English first. We quickly grab our stuff from our locker and walk to class. By the time we reach class the teacher had just arrived. We took our seat in the middle as usual. Jay was not there yet since his seat beside me was empty. Miss Shirley was marking the register. Just as she was going to call Jays name for the last time he came running into the class room “here miss, sorry am late" he said breathless.
“oh Mr. Collins good to know you can join us please take a seat “replied miss Shirley.
Jay took a seat beside me at his usual seat. Miss Shirley begin her lesson, which was summary writing. After English was up it was time for two periods of Spanish with Mr. West. Sash on the other hand had history. I quickly entered the class room. Soon after the class was in session I was trying hard not to sleep like half of the class. Its not that Spanish is all that boring but Mr. west makes it 200% more boring. I was listening to him talking about the verb ‘contar’ which means to sing or something like that but every second I would glance at my watch and it seems like time had stop suddenly I finger poke me in my left side. I quickly cover my mouth from squealing out loud and turn to my left with a frown to see a amusing Jay chuckling under his breath.
" what? "  I asked in a pissed but calm voice. I am still a little mad at him for ditching me. And for kissing Jessica my mind shot at me.
" easy grumpy pants you look bored" by the way how did you get home last night I was looking for you but Jessica say she saw you getting in a car with a guy"
"Oh I am bored can't wait for lunch time, oh yeah I met a friend at the beach I was looking for you to tell you I was leaving but I saw you making out with Jessica so I didn't want to interrupt" I said truthfully.
"Oh she kiss me wait that's why she kiss me because I know I saw you walking but didn't sure it was you" he said in a pissed voice.
"That's okay we are cool" I said
Instantly the bell rang. "Thank God"  we both said in relief. Everyone was shoving their way to the door. I pack up my books and Jay and I walk to my locker together. I put my books in my locker.
"So you are gonna sit at our table right" he asked me.
"Yeah sure am just gonna look for Sash we will meet you there" I replied while closing my locker.
"Okay" he said while making his way to his locker.
Wondering around looking for Sash I finally found her talking to her history teacher. She then noticed me and mounted then she is coming. I then decide to take a seat beside the wall while I waited for her. Just in time to see my cute little brother hooking up with a brown brunette. Not wanting him to see me so I turn my back to them. Just in time I see Sash walking towards me so I walk to her then we make our way to the cafeteria.
' bet you can't tell me what I just saw" I asked in a hyper voice.
"No idea tell me" sash replied looking at me.
“I just saw my brother making out with a hot chick in the corridor" I half whispered excitedly.
"Omg did he saw you" she asked.
"Of course not" I replied
“You are totally gonna taunt him don't you?" She asked
“Hmhmhn but must " I said giggling.
We grab our lunch and walk towards the boys. I place my tray down beside Jay while Sash place hers beside Jackson.
"Hey guys" we said together while sitting down.
"Finally look who decide to finally joins us" Jackson said in amusement while looking at me.
"What?" I asked " it was Sash fault I was looking for her" I said defending myself. 
"Oh okay" he said and started eating his burger. It’s only been a couple days and these guys treat us like they have already known us in like forever. I took a bite off my burger.
"So where is Jerry" I asked realizing that I haven't seen him.
"He is in class" Jay replied taking a fries in his mouth.
"Oh I forgot he is junior".
The guys basically talk about football stuff while Sash and I just listen and to us its very amusing to watch them. In the middle of a debate with Chase and Jay about who is gonna score the most goals in the final game, the bell rang. We all say our laters and went to our classes since Jay and I had history he follow me to my locker to get my books , then I followed him to his and we both walk to miss Duncan history class. Every girl was giving me some dirty looks as we walk in together but one girl was brave enough to walk up to us as we were about to sit down.
"Is she your girlfriend" she asked Jay in an annoying voice but I know she think its sweet. I turn to look at Jay seeing what his response would be. He look at the girl "No Cindy Chinnaz and I are friends and why are you asking??" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Aumm...Jessica sent me" she said and without another word she went back to her seat.
I sat down and open my book waiting for the teacher to start. Jay also sit down while mumbling something about " at least not my girl friend yet" he then glimpse at me seeing if I heard he think I didn't but I did.
The class started with miss Duncan dictating to us notes about the sugar revolution. After one and a half hours of notes the bell rang signaling the end of school and hello weekends.
I pack my bags and make my way to my locker. At my locker I saw Sash putting away her books also.
"Hey" I greeted her while shoving my books in and taking out the ones that I would be needing.
"So are you gonna take the bus or you coming with me" I asked her.
"Am coming with you there is no way am taking that bus ever again when I can drive in my best friend Ferrari." She said doing little waves at the bus outside.
I laugh hysterically at her " okay mam let's go".
We walk over to my car to see Jay leaning on it. As he sees us approaching he walk towards me.
"Hey can I get a ride Jackson have basket ball practice and Jerry already got a ride home".
"Yeah of course no problem let's go" I said.
I went in the drivers seat and lock the doors and buckle my seat belt. Jay was in the front. I instantly turn on my stereo and 7 years by Lukas blast through the speakers. I drive out of the school campus. Jay and Sash start singing and humming. If they know how they sound they wouldn't I chuckled to no one in particular.
"what's so funny" Jay asked.
"Nothing" I said smiling.
"If you say so" he said and continue his horrible singing.
On seeing an ice cream parlor I slowly pull over to the building. Sash and Jay was so wrapped up in singing Justin new hits ‘love yourself’ that they didn't even see when I pull up in the ice cream parlor. I park the car then turn off the music.
"Hey what's that for" they asked together.
"I was just wondering if you guys want ice cream" I chuckled.
"Oh yeah sure" they say. I totally got them off guard.
We got ice cream, and if I say the ice cream was nice that would be an understatement, it was the best in the entire world I would definitely rent a room in the shop. I drop Sash off and now Jay and I are heading home.
"So what are your plans for the weekend ice cream head" he asked as I pull up in my yard.
"Am not gonna answer the last part cause that part is true but I have no idea about weekend plans" probably just stay in my room and do home work away from my parents" I said without realizing that I totally give him the idea that I have a dysfunctional family, I cover my mouth but it was already out.
I park the car and was staring at the windscreen afraid to look at him. Suddenly a hand  was placed on my arm.
" its okay I won't judge you, besides I could already tell you have family issue but I didn't want to push it and its been weeks and we are getting close we are like best friends you can always trust me" he said in a soft tender voice. Still afraid to look at him I just nod my head. We just sat there in silence.
"So what are your plans?" I asked in a hoarse voice finally turning to look at him.
“Something fun but don't worry I will drag your butt along" he said as he grab his things and went out.
“Oh and my number is in your phone see you" and with that he is gone. I didn't even had the time to ask how he got my number. Realization hit me Jay did have my phone while he was singing. I slowly pick up my phone and see that he had enter his number as ' Greek god ‘bf’on seeing that I smile that guy is crazy. I grab my things and head inside.
"Mom" I called no answer.
“Kevin" I shouted while walking up the stairs. No answer I pass by Kevin room but it was slightly locked and one direction was playing. Without bothering to peep I went to my room.
