The next morning I woke up to the sound of a shower running. I rolled over and groaned at the time on my phone. 6:47. School didn't start till 7:45. I yawned and got up and grabbed my tea from last night. I took a sip and looked through my closet for what to wear. Luckily, our school just had dress code, not a uniform.

I quickly decided and pulled on a grey Jack Wills sweatshirt, jeans, and grey Nikes. After putting it on and looked at my friends. I laughed because we all had ended up wearing a Jack Wills sweatshirt. Nikki's was a bright pink and Taylor's was a softer lime green. We linked arms as we headed to breakfast.

Once we sat down with our breakfast I finally looked around. The boys had disperesed themselves all throughout the room. They mostly sat in throngs of 5 or 6 but some sat surrounded by girls. I spotted Jake with a group of guys at the end of the table next to me. I looked up at the table where Madame Stockwright sat with Drew. He was sitting there staring at me and then at Jake. I realised he had seen me looking. "Now or never," I whispered to Nikki and Taylor.

I slowly got up and headed towards Drew. Once I got there, I said "Good morning, Madame. Do you mind if I talk to Drew for a moment?"

"Not at all. Hurry though, I don't want you to be late for your classes." she replied.

I smiled at her and turned to walk into a corner. Drew followed, curious to what I needed. I turned to face him he had a small smile on his face that seemed forced. "Hey babe, what's wrong?" he asked me trying to grab my hand. I pulled my hand out of his grasp, I don't want to be felt up when I'm trying to break up. "Listen...." I said unsure of how to start.

"Yeah?" he asked looking at me, his face now stony.

"I'm not gonna beat around the bush here and I know it's bad timing but I think we should break up. These last 5 months have been great but it feels like we don't have anything anymore. And I barely see you either." I said to him breathlessly.

"Oh. Okay." he said and walked away.

I stood there a moment, trying to process what he just did. When I finally did, all I could think was..."Asshole." Which I muttered under my breath as I walked back towards my seat.

"What happened?" asked Nikki nervously.

"Well I told him that I thought we should break up and why and all he says is fucking okay!" I said angrily.

"Well, asshole." Taylor said simply. I looked at her and smiled. We'd been friends before we met Nikki and we had the same mind set. We thought and acted alike in almost everything. The bell rang then and I grabbed my yogurt to eat before class started. I said goodbye to them and headed to English.

"Okay class, today we're just going to be working on the stories I assigned yesterday." said our teacher Mr. Huffton. I sighed and took out my notebook and sat staring at the blank page. Usually words woud come to me for a story easily but this assignment was really bothering me.

"Is everything okay Wish?" asked Mr. H.

"Yeah everything's fine, just distracted. Not sure what to write about that's all."

For the rest of the day I thought about the assignment. No one knew about my brother being shot, should I write about it? I decided to figure it out later. I walked back from my locker deciding on skipping dancing today but still passing through the band room. I heard singing again and recognised Jake's voice.

I walked up closer to the door to hear him better. I knew the song by heart because I love country.

"And I just wanna wrap you up..

Wanna kiss your lips..

I wanna make you feel wanted.."

When he finished I walked through the door and said "Wanted. Hunter Hayes. Not a bad choice."

 He jumped as I finished talking. "Jesus, I didn't know you were there." Jake said when he saw me. I laughed and replied "Sorry, I don't want to interrupt you when you're singing, but you keep doing songs I know and love." He looked at me, smiled and said "Well then, come sit! Join me and tell me any other song that I could sing to you."

I walked over to the piano where he was sitting, it felt weird since I usually just ran through the room for a shortcut, never looking around. There were multiple closets that looked like they were filled with various instruments. To the left of me were multilpe guitars.

There were rows of chairs facing towards the piano and the conductors podium. I heard a small laugh and looked over at Jake who had been watching me while I had been looking around. "So, know of any songs that I may possibly know?" he asked with a smile.

"Well, instead of a song, how about an artist. Ever heard of Ed Sheeran?" I asked, watching him. He gave me a huge grin and said "Yes! Finally! Someone else that knows who he is! All my friends think I'm weird for listening to him but I know he's gonna be huge here in the states someday."

"Oh thank goodness! My friends say that too. I'm all hooked on the British Invasion right now so all of them Ed Sheeran, Cher Lloyd, One Direction, Little Mix, Rebecca Fuergeson. I love them all." I told him. "So, want me to sing you an Ed Sheeran song?" he asked me.

"Sure, I've already heard you sing country and Owl City on the piano so why don't you do this on a guitar. And for a song.... How about we just go with The A Team?" I told him.

"Good choice I love that song." He told me as he got up and grabbed an acoustic guitar. He came back to sit by me and started strumming until placing his fingers in the right place for a chord. He started playing the tune and started singing.

"White lips, pale face

Breathing in the snow flakes

Burn lungs, sour taste

Light's gone, days end

Struggling to pay rent

Long nights, strange men"

I listened to him sing the song and when he finished I said "That.... Was amazing." He smiled at me and said "You think so? That's one of the few times I've done that cover so I didn't know how well it would be."

"Don't worry, it was great. Oh my god. It's almost 4:30! I need to get back to my room. Will you be going into town tomorrow?"

"Of course, wouldn't miss for the world. Will I be seeing you?"

"I'm going with friends but I may see you around. Sorry I've got to go, bye Jake!"

"Bye Wish!"
