Pure Trust

3.

I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in my bedroom, on my bed, along with a sleeping Matthew on the floor and Shawn next to him. It was 6:30 in the morning. I knew why they didnt take me to the doctor. We had enough money to pay, me and Matthew were old enough to adopt Shawn and all, but we were just too afraid of messing something up and getting Shawn taken away even if he's just 16. We didn't want to take any chances. Hell, we watched a video only to stitch up my arm when I fell off a tree and landed on the ground.

I got up ignoring the sore feeling all around my body and stood up. I violently shake both boys up. "We 're up" Matthew yawns. Shawn stands up from the ground and immediately looks at me. I look at him awkwardly.

''You have been asleep the whole entire weekend" Matthew says.''Maybe if you don't overwork our bodies, I would be at a 100" I complained to him. I didn't think much about what happened to me. I felt really calm, which scared me, I only feel this calm when I'm high. I doubt they drugged me when I was sleeping.

I kicked Shawn and Matt out of my room to get dressed for school. I get out of my room and head to the kitchen to get breakfast. Shawn and Matthew were already ready. I sit down on a chair and Shawn gives me a plate full of eggs and bacon. I quickly eat all of it in one go.

After we all finished, we all got our backpacks and headed to the car. Matthew was driving and I was in the back seat while Shawn was in the passenger seat.

When we were a couple of feet away from the school my smile turned into a scowl. Matthew parks the car and we all get out. "I need my chemistry book and I left it in your locker" Shawn says to Matthew. Matthew groans in annoyance and nods his head. We all walk inside and head to Matthews locker. Matthew hands Shawn his chemistry book.

"Excuse me" someone taps my shoulder. I turn around and face them,"do you by any chance know we're Jade White and Matthew are by any chance?" While looking at him weirdly I remember that me and Matt had to show some new kids around. Not long my social anxiety kicked in and I couldn't speak. The feeling of someone suffocating me came out of nowhere. I didn't take my happy meds. "Hey you must be the new kid, where are the rest of you?" Matt says as kindly as he can. He had stepped in front of me while Shawn pulled me away from the me student. He had pulled until we were a couple of feet away from both Matt and the dude.

Shawn pulls something out from his backpack. A water-bottle. He hands it to me and I take it. I quickly take off the tap and start to jug the water down. I stopped once I was halfway finished with the water. "How are you going to even show them around"Shawn asks. I hand him back his water bottle. I look away and at the ground. "I don't know but I have to or else points for my community serves will be taken away" I reply. Shawn sigh "Well you better come up with something fast because the guys friends just joined him, and their walking this way" Shawn says. My eyes widen. "What do I do-" I was quickly interrupted by Matt. "This is my brother Shawn." Shawn looks at me then at the three dudes. "Hey" he says and all three men reply the same thing back to him. Not long I felt all eyes on me. "This is my cousin Jade,who will also be showing you around" Matt says. "Hi" I mumbled. They all reply the same thing back, but one of the dudes didn't say anything. Out of nowhere I started feeling fuzzy inside. "Let's show you three where your classes are before everyone starts coming in," Matt says. We all start following him.

While walking I was behind everyone. Shawn was a couple of feet in front of me. Matt was ahead showing the three guys around mostly. My phone vibrates and I take it out of my back pocket. I got a message. It was from Jason. 'By your locker, I also have the money for you' Thank lord. I jog to catch up to Shawn. Once I did I tap his shoulder. "Got to goo, Jason is waiting. Text me were you guys are at when I'm done" I say and turn around jogging down the hallway. I took a turn where the stairs were and quickly went up the stairs. I walk down the hall and take a turn. I see Jason by my locker. "Let's make this quick I have turn the paper in by tomorrow" he says. "First payment" I say as I put my hand out. He sigh and puts the money in my hand. I start to count it, making sure it was 120. "It's all of it I swear" he replies. After I was done counting, I open my locker and hand him his paper. "You know how this goes, snitch and I'll take that scholarship away from you. So dont start" I say with a serious tone. He nodded. Before he could leave he stopped. "Is it still a no for prom?" He asks. I sigh "it's still no, I'm sorry" I reply. "Nah it's fine, it's funny you have been rejecting me for four years now" he laughs a little. "Jason I just see you as a friend nothing else, your lucky enough I give you a discount" I say. "I know, but one day, I'll have a yes from you, well on a date" he says. "Jason-" he interrupts me. "One day just not today" he says and walks away. I felt guilty, Jason is attractive and all, but. I close my locker. I don't know how to love someone, especially when I never liked anyone.There were flings here and there but they never meant anything. I text Shawn to find where they were at. They were at the library and we're gonna head towards the football field. I told him I would meet him at the field. I started to wander the halls looking at the posters on the wall. I stopped to look at the trophies. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise. I turn around and find no one.

The rest of the school day was boring, but I did win money from the bets being placed. I wasn't going to go into people's business for a while, since I do sometimes respect people's privacy. Unless I know they fight and the bets are worth it.

I was able to take my meds in the office, during break. Which helped me calm down. Being around people gets overwhelming at times. It's like my senses get heightened and I don't like it. Matt gets the same thing but deals with it when he's playing sports. He wasn't playing soccer this year, so he became a gym guy or started to fix or build. He built a fence around our house. Sometimes he evans takes care of my plants. Maybe it's his way of hiding his PDST. I would be surprised. We all do something to run from our memories
