Indigo Still

Chapter 1:Jude P.O.V

In my life I was certain of three things. First, is that I have amazing friends and family. Luke and Emily have been my best friends since the year five. They've always been there for me no matter what. And honestly I don't think I could've survived without them. To everyone at school we are basically outsiders. No one really pays much attention to us. Which to be quite honest I don't mind. It's always been just us three. The second thing was that I had no fucking clue what to do with my life. From the time I was eight years old my father and mother would dictate what I was going to be when I grew up. My father wanted me to become a lawyer. My mother wanted me to be a doctor. I really could've cared less about what I was going to be. I mean I was eight years old. To me that seemed fucking stupid planning so damn far ahead of time. But now that I'm seventeen my parents have been putting a lot of pressure on me to succeed. I try my best and keep my grades high, but I'm still not sure where it is that I'm going. And lastly was that I was in love with Indigo Still.

I've known Indigo since we were just kids in Primary School. From the first moment I saw her in her little polka dotted dress I knew she was the one. As time flew by I guess she never got the memo, seeing as how she never talked to me. In fact she's never noticed me at all. I was the kid in the corner while she was always the center of attention. Boys would always flock around her. It was close to nearly impossible of getting anywhere near her. But as we hit our teenage years, I hoped that maybe one day she would see me. I mean hell we've always had classes together so the thought of us becoming friends seemed logical. But that never happened. Every time I stood near her, my heart would race like I just ran 100 miles, and my skin would prickle all over. I couldn't even breathe right when I was around her which made talking to her very difficult. I believe the most I've ever spoken to her was a partial 'Hello' but even at that she didn't respond to me.

The sun's rays splashed down lazily against my skin as I stood outside in the middle of the busy sidewalk. A big gush of wind blew at my hair as I glanced around. Noisy buses and smoke blowing cars bustled past me. I gripped onto the edge of my skateboard as I pulled out a cig. I smiled as I flipped open my phone to find a text message from Emily.

From: Emily

A big smile flew to my lips as I inhaled a long drag of my cig. Once I felt that my lungs were fully capacitated I released the smoke. I started walking down the street when I felt my phone start to vibrate once again. I quickly flung out my phone.

From: Luke

From: Me
