Through The Storm

{1} The Beginning

1. The Beginning

Hi my name is Jenna, Jenna Daniels. I am a sophomore in high school right now and am really trying to adjust to the school since it is a new year. So a little bit about me is that I have three best friends Dean, Justin, and Allison. I have reddish hair, I am kind of tall but not short, I like to draw, and my favorite subject is probably history. I am one of the smartest in my grade. Me my friends aren't exactly what you would call popular but we aren't losers either.

So anyways the start to my first day of highschool went like this. First I went to school with Justin since we are neighbors and all. We walk in looking for Dean and Allison. Since we can't find them right now I tell Justin, "Hey why don't we just go to my locker since we can't find them right now."

"Yeah sure!" Justin replied. So we get to my locker and I get it opened and put some of my extra folders and notebooks in there just so I am not carrying everything around. On our way to Justin's locker we see Dean and he was telling us about a trip he went on right before school started with his dad and brother.

So after we find Allison we go to her locker and we head off to our first class. Well a few classes later it is time for lunch we all had the same lunch so I walked with Dean to the lunchroom and we sat down at a table waiting for Justin and Allison. Justin walks in and sits down we start talking about our first few classes still waiting for Allison to show. We eat our lunch and then the bell rings so I walk with Justin because he is in my next class.

I was so bored throughout my biology class that Justin and I passed notes the whole time just talking about random stuff. After the bell rings we both walk out and start heading to studyhall, and we see some juniors come and knock this kids books out of his arms and they laugh at him. I run over and say, "Hey stop!"

"Oh look it's some sophomore." One of the guys say mocking me. Justin then runs up and pushes him. It looks like the junior is going to push him back when I say, "Justin stop he's not worth it." He nods and I look to the kid who was being bullied and say, "Hey are you okay?"

"No not really." He says.

I then reply, "Okay I'm Jenna what's your name?"

"Dylan." He says.

"Well hi Dylan it is nice to meet you. This is Justin by the way." I say and point at Justin. Dylan nods and says, "Well I have to get to class see you later." I nod and Justin and I walk to study hall.

During study hall I passed a note to Justin that said, 'That new kid was nice.'

'Yeah I just feel bad he was being bullied by those guys.' He replied.

'Yeah I know. Well we should hangout with him sometime.' I told him. I looked up at Justin and he nodded in reply. Otherwise I just did some homework stuff throughout the rest of study hall.

I went to English which I had with Dean which went by quickly and then I went home. Justin dropped me off at my house and said, "I'll be by later." I nodded and walked inside. I knew my mom wasn't home because she was working at the hospital still. She tried her hardest but it hasn't been easy since my dad left. I don't really remember him that well, but it doesn't really matter. I finished the rest of my homework and changed into some baggy sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Then watched some tv while I waited for Justin to come over.

I woke up an hour later to a knocking at the door. I got up and saw Justin and said, "Hey Justin."

"Hey Jenna! Did I wake you up?" He asked.

"Yeah but it's fine. Come in." I said.

He walked in and said, "I come bearing gifts. I brought cookies, ice cream, and pizza!"

"I love you so much right now Justin!" I said excitedly. He just smirked and went and got some plates and drinks for pizza. when he came back I was sitting on the couch waiting for him. He came in and put the drinks and pizza down on the tray on the ottoman and then covered us with a blanket and I started an episode of How I Met Your Mother.

A few episodes later the pizza was gone and he went and got the ice cream. "Okay so I got cookie dough ice cream because I know it's your favorite." He said.

"Thanks Justin this is just what I needed." I tell him. We eat the ice cream and my eyes start to feel heavy so I close them, and I eventually fall asleep.

I wake up the next morning and feel an arm around my waist and then remember it's my best friend and that he brought over pizza and ice cream last night. I feel him starting to stir and he wakes up and I say, "Well good morning."

He smirks and says, "Good morning."

"I am going to go change." I tell him he nods, and I run up the stairs and put on a pair of black legging and a long sleeve gray Nike shirt. "Okay Justin there are some clothes upstairs for you on my bed." I say. He then runs upstairs and changes.

Once he gets downstairs we eat a quick breakfast and go to school. We get to school and go to my locker when this guy walks up to me and says, "Hey I'm Lucas and I was wondering if you wanted to go out?"

"Oh okay sure. Here's my number, and I'm Jenna by the way." I tell him.

He says, "I know. I'll text you pick you up tonight." I nod and look at Justin and say, "What?"

"Nothing." He replies. I just know he is hiding something, but I don't know what it is. So I just went on like a regular day. School was finally over and Lucas was picking me up a 6 because there was a movie he wanted to see so I put on jeans and a t-shirt. I finished getting ready and it was 4:50, I waited for ten minutes and he wasn't here yet so I waited for another 20 and he still wasn't here and then texted me. 'Hey sorry about tonight family stuff came up. But there is this party Friday come with me?'

'Yeah sure.' I replied knowing something was up. So I just did my homework and ate dinner and then went to bed. The rest of the week was pretty normal and now it was Friday. I was getting ready to go to the party. I hadn't really talked with Justin, but if I need him I will just call.

So Lucas picked me up for the party and we went to some guys house and everyone was drinking and I wasn't sure. "Here's a drink Jenna." Lucas told me.

"I don't want one." I told him.

"Just drink it." He said and walked off. I then felt weird so I just set it off to the side and looked around seeing if anyone I knew was here, but none of my friends were here. I started to feel really awkward and then this guy came up to me and wanted to dance but I told him to get lost so I went out front and called Justin. I said, "Hey can you come pick me up?"

"Yeah sure. Where are you?" He asked. I told him the address and he came and got me. He asked what happened and I said, "I will tell you tomorrow." He nodded and we went to my house and watched a movie and had popcorn.
