Half way through the night Mrs. Jackson came into my room and checked up on me. "Dear, how are you feeling?"

I kept my head on my wet pillow, "This is the part where I guess I'm suppose to say 'I'm fine thanks' as that's what the girl always states in the movies, books etc. But no. I want to be, I thought I could, but it's too much for me to handle. As I'm not like those girls in the movies who's life becomes a happy ending." I breathed out.

I dug my head deeper into the pillow, crying.

"Look sweetie I know this isn't just about your father, I think it has something to do with this Jason. Let me tell you something no teenage ever believes, but I guarantee you this is truth." She starts to stroke my hair.

"You fall in love more than once. It will happen again, it will be just as fun and amazing as the first time and maybe just maybe as painful, but it'll happen again. I promise. They say you'll fall in love with three different people throughout your life. One of them will always stick." Kissing my head.

You can't keep promises you don't mean.

"Goodnight dear."

"Night." I sighed, taking in all her words, but do I really get a second chance? Is that even possible?

Is it?

I dragged my feet through the hallway of Harrow way High School. The halls were crowded with people, and the chaos was so perfect, like a movie.

There was the couple that was always making out on the left side of the hall, and about ten feet farther down, the cliquey girls - Olivia wanted to run the school and I guess she got what she wanted, she always does. Opposite them, the cliquey jocks, and between them, the parade of band geeks with their huge instrument cases.

There were the aerospace tech kids who never did anything but make paper aeroplanes and the fashion kids that wheeled mannequins and clothing racks down the halls. And then there was me, not that I fit into any of those groups.

I have my own group; Me and Lia.

Lately we have been getting along, and I'm happy to have her in my life right now, even if it is only for a brief time.

I sighed making my way to my locker, grabbing my books for History. I heard heels click against the floor, getting closer to me. someone cleared their throat and I knew straight away how it was.

"Olivia." I closed my locker shut turning to her. My vision slightly blurred due to this black eye which happily sat there. "What do you think you are doing?"

I furrowed my brows, "Wh-what do you mean?" She faked smiled, "Lucas." I scrunched my face up.

"What about him?" I moved my eyes around, noticing a few stares and a couple glances every now and then. "I saw you last night at the game, your little conversation. I thought I told you to stay away Jenson."

I scoffed, "I am, but-but." She raised a brow, "But what?"

I went to open my mouth, but nothing came out, "That's what I thought-" She got closer to my ear, "- So stay away, I may be with Jason but Lucas he is not yours and will never be."

She laughed menacingly, "As a matter of fact he is mine." My breathe caught in my throat, her voice was laced with venom.

How can she be so cruel as to be with Jason and still want Lucas?

She faked laughed and walked off. I put my hand to my head, trying not to panic. Sliding down the lockers I sat there letting everyone stare. Judging my every move.
