I Love Rock And Roll, But I Love You More (Jardougall)

Sic Transit Gloria ... Glory Fades

*Jenna's POV*

She hits the lights

This doesn't seem quite fair

Despite everything he learned from his friends,

he doesn't feel so prepared

This band is seriously amazing. I'm listening to this band while I'm waiting for my bus called We Are The In Crowd and they are really amazing.

It's to bad that this band doesn't have a label and isn't that well known by people. I mean seriously, one day, I was just look for a band, specifically a pop punk/pop rock band back in 2009 when I was 11 at the time and found them, so I figured that I listen to their music and I've been listening to them ever since.

Sucks though that they've been on hiatus for about a year now, but hopefully they don't break up as a band because they are truly amazing and the only girl in the band was, and is, straight up gorgeous as fucking hell.

Ok. I guess my bus is here.

If we're being completely honest here, l have dreamed of meeting this Taylor Jardine chick because she seems like she could be really cool few times that the 2 of us have talked and she seems like she could play for the same team as myself.

*Tay's POV*

I can't believe that I'm up at this time. Well I guess it's as good of a time to go get ready for the day and get to school a bit early to get myself ready for the first day of school.

Thankfully school is starting as of today because I have really needed something to distract me from my recent divorce.

Is it just me or am I one of those people who love yet hate school? I feel like I'm most likely the only teacher at my high school that feels that way about school. But who knows. Maybe other teachers feel that way as well.

I mean, I enjoy teaching because I care about the students and want them to get somewhere in life with whatever it is that they end up doing.

On the other hand though it kind of sucks because my band and I have been trying to get ourselves out there to record studios. But my band and I have agreed to go on hiatus for about a year now but to keep practicing in private with each other until a record studio gets a hold of us.

Wait oh shit.

I kind of just realized something. I know where I recognize my new family student Jenna M. I don't know why I didn't realize it sooner, but oh shit.

For a while now I've been talking to this one girl who looks the exact same as her and has the exact name as her.

The thing is though her and I met through a Facebook support group for people who have been in an either an abusive relationship with a significant other and trying to get away from them or recently lived in an abusive household with either one or both parents or any siblings.

So one day we saw each other in the group and she ended up friend requesting me on Facebook. After that we talked a few times over the summer and when she asked which one it was for me at one point and I told her that it was an abusive relationship with a significant other that I was in the process of getting a divorce from at the time that she asked me.

Except I didn't say that my now ex significant other is a female.

When I asked her which one it was for her, she told me it was an abusive thing coming from her father whenever both her parents were home, which was hardly ever.

Another thing she told me is that why she kept getting kicked out of the schools out in Australia is partly due to the fact of the abuse she would receive from her father when he was around, even though she never really said the reason as to why he abuses her.

She also ended up telling me that the other part of the reason she kept getting kicked out of schools out there is because she had a hard time with focusing that well in school.

I think it's kind of weird because her school records shows that she got all except for five and a half credits done.

Like seriously, she seems like a very intelligent kid, but doesn't seem like she doesn't want to try hard with applying herself to the best of her abilities.

*Jenna's POV*

I had been standing in front of the school doors for the past few minutes because to be honest, I'm fucking nervous as hell.

To be honest, I don't fucking know why I'm even nervous.

Seriously, it's not like this is my first time at a new school. Yet I'm nervous as fucking hell. Like what the fuck is wrong with me?

"Hey. You going in or what new kid?" I heard from someone as that person was coming up to me.

"Yeah. Just nervous for some unknown reason."

That person looked at me kind of funny. "What?"

"You're from Australia aren't you? Cool. I don't think this school's ever had an Aussie before. Except for me and a couple of guys that I'm in a band with. Sorry I'm being rude. My name is Whakaio Taashi, but you can call me Whaki. I'm the keyboarder and lead guitarist of my band. What's your name blondie?"

"McDougall. Jenna McDougall."

"That's a cool name. So what part of Australia are you from?"

"Sydney. What part of Australia are you from?"

"Melbourne. Who's your family teacher?"

"Some teacher named Taylor?"

"Sweet. Looks we're school family. What pronouns do you prefer? Just so I'm not rude and assume your pronouns."

"They/them or she/her pronouns, but only sometimes, is fine. You?"

"Any. But only sometimes with the female pronouns as well. Alright. Come on Jenna. School's gonna start in about 10 or 15 minutes and we need to get to our family room first so we can get our cards, which I'll explain right after we get our cards what they are and what the point of them is, on our way your first hour, wherever that is."

*Time skip to first entering the family room*

"Morning Whaki," said the person sitting at the front desk of the room, and I'm assuming that it's the family teacher by the name of Taylor. "Morning Tay."

"Morning..." said Tay just as she looked up and saw me when she was talking to me. "Morning."

"Um, Whaki can I talk to the new kid alone?"

"Sure." He looked at me and said he'll wait outside.

"Hi Jenna."

"Hi."

"So I'm guessing you're the girl I've talked to a few times over the summer with the abusive father?"

"How would you know that?" I said all nervous like and I could tell that I came across as actually nervous.

"Because we're in the same group for people who have been in either an abusive relationship with a significant other or with a parent/sibling."

"Right. If you don't want me to tell anyone, trust me, I won't. Besides I don't even know anybody at this school except for Whaki. Technically speaking I guess."

"It's not that, it's just that people here can't know that we're friends on Facebook because if they find out, I could lose my job possibly."

"Well, trust me, I keep secrets pretty well."

"The only people that can't know though is really anybody at this school or works/attends any school. Any really close friends that you know can keep secrets, I guess I'm fine with you telling them."

"You do realize I can make a fake account and add you on the fake account and delete your page on the one we're currently friends on right?"

"True."

"K, well I have to get to class. So I guess that I'll see you later in family today after lunch."
