The Bet

Before it happened

Jamie's pov

One day I was wondering to myself and thought if I were to run away would someone come find me?
I know I have friends and I know they say that they would do anything for me but would they?
I know that my best friend Cat will do anything  for me and it is enough. My family does not even care for me like that. My father has been drinking nonstop since the um.. never mind. My mother was the love of his life but aren't I his baby girl ?
I miss my mom too.

The first day of school can't be as bad as my summer losing all of my friends except Cat was painful. They just left after three years of high school. I was not wrong, neither was Cat, they wanted to or should. I say she wanted to brake into the school and sleep there over break just in and out. They got caught and she or should I say Sam.

Sam had blamed it all on me after this had happened and that I was the one who had the idea of breaking into the school. She then lied to all of our friends and told them that it was me and that I was not to be trusted.
Today was the day and I was nauseous and nervous I was not ready to have all my old friends tease me but what can I do. I am not a bout to go to another school on my senior year of high school I started here and I am gonna finish.

I heard the beeping car outside, I immediately got up and left. My dad was on the couch watching TV with a case of beer as per usual. I know I can do this "easy like Sunday morning" right.

"Shut up" says my dad who I thought was asleep.

"Mom loved that song..." I say trying to be strong.

" I know and you can't sing like her so if I were you I'd marry rich because you are not going anywhere in life with that ugly voice."

I just walk out the door with tears in my eyes. He hates it when I sing because my singing killed my mom. Or so I am told.

As we arrived at the school we noticed that Sam was alone on the school steps and she had a facial expression that never seemed to go away. Sam as a child lost both of her parents in a bus crash on the first day of school when we were all six. I wanted to go comfort her but I couldn't she would humiliate me right there and then. Cat and I walked passed her and into the school. Our school was huge, a big gym and a football field.

"Hey Jamie" Cat says feeling bad.

"Yes" I say back knowing why she is sad.

"We should have said sorry for your loss and that it was just today and that all would be better."

"You now that if we would have said that she would stand up make a big scene and embarrass us." I said trying to believe

"I know she would but Jamie you know what today is.." she said and I knew she was right we had to help Sam. When the first day of school happens neither of us leaves her alone because if we did I don't think she would be here today.
