I'm Special, Bitch!

Hiding

I missed school. For a whole week, I didn't attend school for various reasons. One being the chances of me meeting Ryan. However, the major being, not wanting to see Jayden. Yeah...I'm an insecure bitch, so sue me. He had said that we would get into lots of trouble before he had kissed me. I only realised what he had meant long after I had gotten into bed that night. And the realisation hadn't helped my peace of mind, as I couldn't get it out any more. He was such a bastard. Seriously, what guy could trouble you even if you don't see him for a week? Why, a jerk named Jayden Wilde of course. I seriously hate him!

I sighed and walked to the kitchen from my bedroom, which I had been in the whole morning, to get myself a glass of orange juice. It was a bright day and I glared out of the window at the sun. What had happened to having grey clouds with the typical English weather that'd suit my mood so much better? But no. When Chyna was feeling a little moody, the weather has to go and decide to be all bright and sunny. Bitch. Just as I filled myself a glass and took a small sip, I heard the doorbell. As my mum was out on a job interview, I stomped to the door, my mood becoming darker. Who the hell was bothering me at this time of day?! At least mum didn't force me to go to school. I had a feeling that she would've if she hadn't sensed my bad mood. Without any questions she had accepted my lame excuse of not feeling well. I think she had an idea about the bad mood being related to Jayden.

I opened the door and wanted to slam it back when I saw three happy people grinning. I took a deep breath and plastered a smile on my face. Jewel stood between Devon and Sam, her smile as bright as the sun. Although she had already once come to see why I wasn't in school on Monday, Sam and Devon had no idea about my absence. Even though Sam had called me a few times, I had always managed to dodge the questions. And Devon...well he probably had an idea as Jewel and him were an official couple and I was sure that Jewel would've told him something.

Yet, here they stood as if nothing in the world bothered them.

"Hi!" Jewel said enthusiastically as she jumped to give me tight hug.

"Hey," I said and hugged her back. "Why don't you guys come in?" My voice couldn't have been further than inviting but the accepted anyway.

With nods and smiles they walked to the small living room and made themselves comfortable on my pistachio-coloured couches. Well my mum's pistachio-coloured couches, but I lived here as well, so they counted as mine too.

"Can I get you guys something to eat or drink?" I looked at my watch. "You're all coming from school right?"

Devon nodded as Sam watched me curiously. For some reason the way he looked at me made me wonder if he knew the real reason behind my absence in school. He had told me that he knew about what had happened at the party with Ryan and that Ryan wouldn't get the chance to bother me when he was around, but I had told him it wasn't because of Ryan; I just wasn't feeling well. His reply had been a snort.

Jewel sighed and sat next to Devon. "They wanted to see you. Although I told them you'd probably feel better if we didn't bother you, but they're boys. So damn arrogant. Even my feminine qualities couldn't persuade them." She shrugged apologetically.

Devon pulled her close to his side and placed a kiss on her lips before she could finish her speech. "Oh, your feminine qualities work. Trust me. You scared the shit out of both of us with your eyes."

Jewel slapped his arm gently and laughed before looking at me. "Lies," she said, with a glint in her eyes that made me doubt it.

Sam spoke finally. "Can I have a glass of orange juice, Chy?"

I smiled. "Of course."

"'Kay. I'll come with you." He rose from his seat.

I swallowed and sent a helpless glance at Jewel before nodding and walking to the kitchen. "There's cranberry juice too, if you want?"
