Dear Via,

Mother woke me up, and told me " Are you feeling okay? Do you want to stay at home?"  "No Mother, I'm fine" "Sure?" "Yeah"

She smiled and went outside. I sat up on my bed. Wore my uniform, and let my hair lose. I went downstairs and ate breakfast. As I was eating my bread, Mother said "You kissed.." 

"Mother don't start"

"Why don't you want to tell me?"

"Because you make such a big deal out of something that's not"

"The first kiss is a big deal! Did you feel fireworks?"

"Mom.."

"My baby's all grown up!"

"Stop please"

"You were just a tiny winy 2 year old when you met Peter"

"Mother! I'm not getting married!"

"Ah.. You're all grown up"

"Hurry up Peter!"

I put my face in my hands, as Mother talked and talked about true love, kisses, marriage ! Then I heard Peter's voice "Come on Jade!" 

I stood up and grabbed my bag "Your prince is awaiting" Mother said. I just rolled my eyes, and ran out. He gave me a small peck on my lips, then we walked to school.

"Mother's talking weird"

"Mothers are Mothers right?"

"I guess"

"So, we haven't had a date.."

"Peter what are you up to?"

"How about the beach? This Friday? We'll have a picnic?"

"Sure"

I put my head on his shoulder as we walked to school. I reached there, everyone eyeing me. Then someone pushed me. I fell to the floor on my knees. People snickiring as they saw me. I looked back to see, Rebecca. Peter helped me up, and gave the evil eye to her. "Leave her alone, Rebecca. Don't be a cruel person" he said through gritted teeth. I put my hand on his shoulder and turned him around whispering "Its okay Peter. Its okay.." 

*First Session*

We had Science. We grabbed our books, and headed to the classroom. I saw Rebbeca and Rachel together whispering. Rachel looked at me, with narrowed eyes. Well, I can cross out Rachel from my best friend list. I saw down as Miss Brianna, entered...

*Home time*

I ran outside.. humiliated.. Everyone keeped calling me a cheater, lover stealer. What did I do?! Peter ran behind me. "Jade wait!" I turned around tears flooding down my cheeks. "What?!" I shouted. He put his hands on my shoulders,and said "Don't cry. They're a bunch of idiots..." 

"Peter this won't stop until you agree to go on a date with her!"

"After what she did?! No way!"

"Peter it's only one date!"

"But this is weekend is our date!"

"Cancel it! Make it till next week! Peter I can't stand this! I didn't do anything wrong!"
