Choices

Chapter 7 - A New Life

"Wake up, sleepy." Jace shakes me awake.

I open my eyes and grab my bag. We get off the bus and walk until we reach school. We walk through the front doors with what feels like 1000 eyes on us. I guess no one knows about us yet. That secret it all mine and his to keep. We seperate to our friend groups and I don't see Jace until 3rd period. It's a new life I have to live. Everything I had with James is gone. We no longer have our silly competitions and fun races. I feel lonely, even with friends around me. I miss him.

But I have Jace, which is a good thing. My childhood crush. I should be happy, I am happy but something feels like it's missing. Something is missing. I'm missing James. It's not right, I have a boyfriend, the best boyfriend in the world. And until yesterday I did not see James and I as a couple. But everyone else did. Maybe that's why they were all looking at Jace and I coming to school. Or the fact that my hair is terrible and I barely have any makeup on. We really had to rush this morning. I just don't understand why I'm missing James so much because I really shouldn't. We had an argument and we have different opinions. We both expressed them yesterday and I don't think I'll ever be friends with him again. But something inside of me is telling me that he should be around.

I still see him of course. He is in my house too. I see his smile, his glistening personality, his looks. He was my best friend, we saw each other everyday, laughed with each other everyday. It just feels so wrong to not have him around, but right. It's confusing and complicated.

The day goes by in a blur, class after class. Kiss after kiss from Jace. I feel so secure in this relationship. I really love it.

"I'll see you tomorrow. It was so nice last night!" Says Jace as he waves goodbye

"Tomorrow is Saturday you dumbo! I'll see you on Monday, yeah?" I reply

"Yeah. I'm going to miss you!"

"Miss you already! Bye!"

And I walk to my bus stop with Claudia.

I get home and dump all of my stuff on to my bed. Busy day.
