We're all in the car on our way to the ceremony. The only thought in my head was what Luke had texted me.

I need to talk to you

I don't understand what we need to talk about? Our relationship has been fine. We've been doing fine. I try to shake off the thought and look out the window. I can feel my dad staring at me through the mirror.

"I'm glad you changed your mind Jasmine." my dad says while driving

I look back at him and say "Yeah well, if it weren't for Zayn I would still be laying in bed sleeping and not giving a crap. I don't even know why you guys care because you guys aren't even-" I was cut off by Zayn coughing and I give him a glare. My dad just nods and looks back at the road.

My mom sighs and I take my phone out to text Chanelle "Hey loser. I'm on my way to the ceremony. Are you there already?" I sent the text and moments later she replies "Yeah. Wait, I thought you didn't want to come?"  I respond saying "Yeah well freaking Zayn had to ruin it"  She replies with an oh. I text her back to meet me at the entrance of where the ceremony is being held at. I hate car rides. They're boring and awkward as hell.

We arrive at the place seeing so many people walking in. I jump out of the car as soon as we parked. Instead of waiting for my "family", I walk towards the entrance and find Chanelle standing there looking bored. She hasn't seen me yet so I take the chance to take a picture of how she looks. I rush to take my phone out and take a snap forgetting I had the sound on. She quickly turns my way and rolls her eyes. "Seriously Jas! You freaking would!" I laugh and show her the picture. "I-I-I'm ssorry I-I just..couldn't...help it." I laugh trying to catch my breath. "Yeah yeah yeah hurry up, they're going to start any minute." She grabs my arm and pulls me towards the door and we walk right in.

All of a sudden I feel an arm around me. I thought it was Luke for a moment and I turn around to see my guy best friend Calum. "Hey girls. Who's excited to graduate?"

Calum has been my best friend since 6th grade. I was the new kid and he was the first to be my friend. He has been there for me through up and down. He was there when my parents were getting a divorce and during my cutting, smoking, and all the nonsense. He's the type of guy that loves to joke around and he always has a smile on his face and laughing. Not once have I seen a frown. He's really a great guy and an awesome best friend anyone could ask for. It's sad that girls don't see that but I don't think he minds though. He just goes with the flow and see what life has for him.

*FlashBack 6th grade*

"Welcome back to school. Now this semester will be tough. It's second semester and you have to work harder-" 

I tune out the stupid teacher. I hate that winter break is over. I hate being here. I hate school. I hate the world. I put my head down and just think about what happened throughout winter break. My parents wouldn't stop arguing and it's all getting to my head. We didn't even have a christmas. It sucked so bad. I just wish my parents would stop with the arguing and be all lovey dovey like they used to be. 

All of a sudden I hear the classroom door open. I pick my head up and look towards the door.

"Oh and class we have a new student from Australia joining us for the rest of the year. His name is Calum. Calum take a seat next to Jasmine. She's wearing the black hoodie."

I feel all eyes on me now. I hate getting attention even if it's just for a minute. Everyone thinks I'm the weird and emo one. I have no friends. Really. 

He walks toward the seat next to me with his backpack on one shoulder. He slides into the desk and puts his backpack down. He takes a glance at me and I look to the front of the room acting like I'm paying attention to the lecture about Romeo & Juliet. 

"Pssst" I hear someone say. I turn to look at the new kid and he half smiles at me. 

"You must be Jasmine."  He says with his stupid accent. I just death stare at him. Hopefully he will stop trying to talk to me. 

I saw him look towards my arm. I pull my sleeve down and try to act like he didn't see anything. 

"You know. I cut after I finish my dinner."

What the hell is his problem. I look at him weirdly and raise my eyebrow.

"I mean how else am I going to be able to cut my cake for dessert?"

I start laughing so loud. Everyone is staring at me as if I just came up from the dead or if this is the first movement I've ever made. The teacher looks straight at me with her lips pursed and cheap lipstick.

"Something funny Jasmine?" I shake my head no and just stayed quiet.Trying not to laugh.

"Well then. Next time you disrupt my class, it's a detention.'" I just nod and look at Calum with a smile on my face and him smiling back at me. That moment I knew me and him will be the bestest friends.

*End of Flashback*

"Jasmine?" I shake my head from the flashback and look at Calum.

"Are you okay? You were smiling out of no where and it was creepy."

I nod "Yeah I was just remembering something." 

"Was it about you and Luke?" Chanelle said with a smirk on her face. 

"NO!" I shout. Speaking about Luke, where is he and what does he want to talk about? 

"Have you guys seen Luke?" they both shake their heads and I sigh. This is killing me. Of course he wouldn't be here. This isn't his scene and plus he graduated last year. He wouldn't want to support me anyways, he isn't like that. I wish he was one of those romantic types at least.

"Why are you still with that guy? He brings nothing but bad to you. He doesn't even come to your own graduation. What kind of boyfriend does that?" Calum starts telling me. 

"Leave him alone. I love him okay? He's always there for me." I tell him

"You love him? Ha! All he ever brings you is drugs or alcohol or tries to get into your pants." 

What the fuck? Where is this coming from. What's his problem? That really got me mad. He should know not to mention things like that. I look up at him with the meanest look and pushed him.

"Get the hell away from me." I growl. I walk away and go to where I see people walking in. I'm trying not to start crying. I hate being so weak and let people get to me. Especially my own best friend. He should know better. I hear him start shouting. 

"You know it's true Jasmine! Get your head out of your ass."

All I heard next was Chanelle telling Calum to shut the hell up and to leave me alone. 

I ran into the restroom and went into a stall. That was when all the water works start to drip down my face.
