The Perfect Accident

chapter two - a new 'bestie'

i wake up due to a sudden pain in my head. i look around the room. its pretty dark but there's a few posters on the walls but i cant make out what they say. the room smells deeply of ax and Cologne. then i realized I'm lying in a boys bed and i don't know whats going on. i scream. and i keep screaming till a hand closes around my mouth and i am spun around so that I'm face to face with Jake Anderson. i bite his hand so he lets go of me.

"wha...? how? huh? my head hurts" automatically my hands reach up and start massaging my temples.

"calm down, you fell asleep at school so i brought you back to my place and here," he threw me a bottle of Advil "that should help your head" i stared at him. then remembering the events that took place today at school i feel my eyes start to sting with tears. i still cant get over the fact that Ben would do such a thing.

"What? Why are you crying? I'm the one who just got bitten on the hand!"

"i cant believe Ben and Ally would do such a thing," i mumble threw grumbled sobs. Jake slowly shakes his head and sits down on the bed next to me. "I've known them both since preschool, they were my best friends."

"ya, but, you gotta have some other friends, right?" Jake questions beginning to look generally concerned

"well, no, no i don't have any other friends, i figured that two was good enough..." i sighed miserably

"well..." i looked over at Jake who seemed lost in thought

"well?" i asked

"well, i was thinking, you clearly didn't deserve what happened to you, and you don't deserve to be friendless at school...so i have decided i will become your new best friend!" he grinned at me but i guess i must have looked how i felt, mortified.

" what? but your Jake Anderson! the schools most popular bad boy player, why on earth would you want to be my friend?" i questioned sounding ruder then i had intended

"i don't know, i guess because you deserve a friend"

"well its okay bad boy but i think i'll be just fine without you" he just smirked and offered me a ride home.

i shut off the radio because even paramore couldn't cheer me up right now. i thought to myself on my drive to school this morning. today was going to be the hardest day of life because not once since i was 3 had i gone to school knowing i didn't have any friends for the day. maybe i should have befriended Jake... wait what am i saying? he probably only wanted to be my friend in hopes that yet another girl was drooling over him. and i would never drool over him. ever.

"lord help me now" i grumbled as i pulled up to my school ready to start my hardest day yet.

***

halfway across the schools parking lot an arm draped across my shoulders

"morning bestie" Jake grinned at me as i pulled his arm off of me.

"i thought i said i didn't want to be your 'bestie'" i said remembering last nights conversation

"well i guess i just don't care"

"well if you don't care about that, what about what people will think, you know, you and i being friends and all wont that be bad for your reputation?" i questioned but he just put his arm back around me again

"listen sunshine, if i cared about people, -which i don't- i wouldn't have a reputation" he said it so matter of factually that i had to stop and think for a second before yet again removing his arm from around my shoulders
