E l e v e n

The month of September flew by as if it were never there and Jade was sitting in class again. Billy and Jade kept seeing each other but no one knew about it except Alex and Beverly. Everyone thought it was just a make out at a party. Alex and Beverly knew and had double dates with them every weekend at either one of their houses.

After a great weekend with her boyfriend and friends she was back in hell. They had received new seats that day and Jade sat in the second seat closest to the back. Behind her was Billy and Gretta. Jade had her scissors out and kept cutting papers into a bunch of small pieces as she listened to Gretta flirt with her boyfriend. Steve sat next to her now and just watched the scissors cut into the paper. People kept looking back at Jade and snickering and Steve coughed. He tapped Jade's shoulder and handed her the paper. He gave her a worried look and she took the paper cautiously. They had gotten closer since he was spending time with her little brother.

"Just so you know, I don't believe this." Jade furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Steve as she unfolded the paper. On the paper was big and sloppy hand writing.

Wanted: Jade "Slut" Henderson
She has been found guilty of murdering a boy and bringing him back to life, hospitalizing a guy that she wanted to break up with, fucked every guy in Hawkins, and is currently knocked up by her best friend's boyfriend.

Jade looked up at Steve and licked her lips, standing from her seat.

"Ms. Henderson, please sit do-"

"Who wrote this?" Jade looked around the whole class. Alex and Beverly had walked up to Jade and took the paper out of her hands. Billy snatched it out of their hands when they finished reading it.

"She asked a fucking question, who wrote it?" Beverly yelled.

"Language, Ms. Bar-"

"Well, you ought to be proud of yourself so why don't you take pride in your fucking work, huh?" Billy slammed the paper on the table and stormed out of the classroom. Jade looked at the door then turned back to the class, remembering that their relationship was private.

"Babes, just calm-"

"I am calm! Who fucking wrote this shit, huh?" Gretta began to laugh.

"Hey, look, everyone, she's mad because her secrets have been spilt!" The class started to laugh except Steve, Beverly, and Alex. Jade balled up the piece of paper and kicked the chair that was now empty. She put the paper in her bag and stormed out of the school. Billy was leaning against his car and smoking.

"I'm dating the school slut, huh?" Jade started to laugh with tears in her eyes. "You won't even admit to it, real pathetic."

"Oh, come on, you actually believe that stuff?"

"I know you had a shitty ex and you said he was gone but I didn't know you were the one that put him in the hospital. Who knew all the things the guys said about you would be true?"

"They're not true, Billy!" Jade wiped her eyes. "You're supposed to know that!"

"It damn well explains why you're such a tease and how many other guys that don't go here have you let fuck you, huh?"

"Billy, stop, please. You know they aren't true."

"That's the whole school against you! We are fucking done, okay?"

"You're gonna believe everyone else over your girlfriend? Shows what kind of guy you are!"

"At least I haven't fucked everyone here!"

"You're such a fucking asshole. Why can't you just believe me, huh?"

"You've been fucking Alex this whole time and now you're pregnant, too! I'm not going to be the fucking dad just because no one else wants to fuck you! You're a slutty bitch!"

"You know I wouldn't fuck Alex even if I was offered a million dollars! And do I look fucking pregnant to you?"

"We are over, you cock sucking whore!" Billy got into his car and sped out of the lot. Jade stood where his car had once been and rubbed her arms. She'd left her jacket in his car when he gave her a ride this morning. She did what she never did and fell to her knees, crying. Cold and alone.
