Life as Jade Day: 15

After swimming for another hour we both decided its best we have lunch now since my class starts at like1:30.

So after getting dressed I saw Kiefer was already outside, hands stuffed in his white jeans as leaned against the wall with a navy blue shirt on.

“What are you? Modelling for Aeropostale or something?” I snarkily remarked as I walked towards him.

“Well no, do you really think I could get in though?” He followed up, walking beside me as we smoothly made our way down the hall and in front the elevators.

“Well no.” I mimicked, sticking my tongue at him.

“Darn it.” He playfully answered, faking hurt.

“Whatever” I said as an elevator dinged and opened in front of me.

R=R=R=R=R

We finally just settled in for McDonalds since I didn’t want to go to KFC.

And after that he took to me to the campus and we separated ways in the hall.

I had some Yoga after class so I went and did that.

When I reached my yoga locker though post it notes were scattered everywhere.

The first one that caught my eye though.

I know who you are…

All the air in my lungs are knocked right outta me when I saw what lies below it.

| J | A | N | E |

All of those letters individually post dint every area in my small locker. I whipped my head around to check if anyone is seeing this, when I was sure that no one really gave a damn I started to rapidly rip them off one by one earning me attention I didn’t want in the first place.

Darn it.

I probably looked like a madman but who cares?! I was gonna get caught dammit!

“Hey Jade what are you—“Nia didn’t finish her sentence when she realized what I was doing and immediately started to help me rip the sticky yellow squares of doom. Nia had Yoga with me too.

After ripping them all out I took out an empty McDonalds plastic bag, stuffing them all in there before stuffing it in my bag, I’ll burn them later in the back of the campus where the field is, I’ll burn it where the janitor used to burn leaves during the autumn. Even though I wasn’t here in the autumn, I saw burnt leaves there.

“Are you okay?” Nia asked once I took my books and slammed my locker closed, such a small locker, so many secrets was inside it.

“Umm. No.” I replied honestly, my mood was completely shifted and I just wanted to book a flight back to Seattle. This entire Life as Jade thing is not working out!

Nia hugged me and I started to cry silently, I pulled away and quickly wiped them.

“I need to go.” I said, turning to leave the locker room.

“Wait! Jade! Where are you going?” Nia yelled over the distance between us.

“I’ll be at home! Don’t worry.” I answered before continuing to powerwalk out the damn campus.

But of course, nothing will go my way today. I shoulder-bumped someone as I was panicky walking.

“Watch it you.” The familiar disgusting voice stopped me in my tracks.
