Paradise

Chapter 1

"Get in here and clean your mess!" My mom never liked me, "I'm counting to three!" No one has, "One.." I guess I'm not that likable, "Two.." I guess that's how life is, "Three, you're grounded!" Getting grounded wasn't new, I always got grounded. I don't think I know what it's like to not be grounded. I live with my mom, older brother and younger sister. My younger sister always gets the attention, and my older brother, well let's just say he's not . . . normal. My name is Jade Welthing, I am 15 years old and I hate life. I guess life hasn't been good to me, my dad died when I was 10 and nothings been the same ever since. My moms a train wreck and so am I.. I have no friends, I walk into school every morning and nothing's different,

People laugh

Stare

Poke

Kick

BULLY...

Well I don't blame them, I'm not very good looking, i have brown hair that looks like rats tails, eyes so dark it looks like a big pupil and a body with no curves, just flat.

I survive school and go home on my bicycle. My mom then starts to shout at me because I left my room in such a mess when I left to go to school. I would lie if I said I listened to my mom. Since she always talks crap or she's shouting at me. Most of the time I just go blank, like I'm not even on earth. I start dozing of, can't hear anything around me and just go to my happy place. I was in this happy place right now in fact. The trees are just so beautiful with their pink leaves and the golden brown branches. The river that runs right through the open field of perfectly grown grass is flowing quietly with its clear sky blue water. I start to run around on the open field when. . .

"Jade are you even listening to me? I spend all my time on you, you ungrateful brat." And then those words woke me up, that sentence made me realize I'm not an ungrateful brat. I am a teenager who needs to live her life not in a box but in a club. I am not gonna get treated this shitty way, I am not. "You know what mom, I'm not an ungrateful brat, I am a teenager who need to go to clubs," "No, Jade you need to!," "No mom, teenagers are brats but most of us aren't ungrateful. Maybe you need to let me go have fun. I've come out of my little bubble. You should be proud." My mom shut up after that. I've never seen that look on her face before, it's like she's shocked. Was it because came out of my bubble and opened up or because I disobeyed her and I'm heading for an extended punishment? "Honey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. . ." My mom carries on but I walk away. I open the front door and head for the sidewalk. I feel good that i opened up, It feels like all my secrets are out and I don't have to care anymore. Well. . . for now. I walk down to the Café. I've never felt so alive before, I feel an adrenaline rush going through my whole body. I like it.

I see the jocks in the Café and they are what seems to be celebrating, maybe for winning a football game or whatever. I don't know much about sports anyway, mainly because I suck at all sports. But that doesn't stop me, I love playing soccer, it's the only sport I enjoy playing.

I go back home to my screaming mother, but I couldn't care less.

I start running around the open field breathing in the pleasant fragrance of nature. I run my fingers through the clear water as I appreciate fine nature. I start to gaze off under the golden branches of the pink leaved tree. . . now this is paradise.

I wake up from my dream, this constant dream of Paradise.

I get dressed in my maxi skirt, collared button up shirt and a pair of black pumps. It's assembly so I thought I'd dress smart.

As normal I walk into school and people laugh and stare especially the girls this time. . . buuut couldn't give a tiny rats ass. As guys walk by the look at my breasts, of all places, my breasts, I'm too scared to look down at my breasts cause then what am I showing? That I'm proud of them? Well I'm not. I start to walk to the bathroom nervously, why would they be staring up there? Anxiously I start to run. I get to the bathroom quickly and no ones there. I look in the mirror. . . NOO!!! Oh my goddddd!!! They have been looking at my breasts because my shirt wasn't buttoned up completely, I feel so exposed. I quickly button my shirt up and try and gain my confidence back.

I eventually walk out the bathroom and someone is waiting. Could he be waiting for me? Naaaa. . . first of all he's super hot and second of all hot guys don't usually wait for me outside a bathroom door leaning again a wall so sexily. .

"Um.. Are you waiting for someone?" I asked so nervously, but who wouldn't he was so hot. You actually." He's husky tone of voice made me close to fainting. "Me?" I pointed at my breasts, really Jade, really? He looked at my breasts and quickly looked into my eyes, "Yea, I saw you running into the bathroom and I wanted to see if you were okay." The concern look on his face was so cute I could die. "Oh, yea, I'm fine. . . It was just . . ." He interrupted me, "you didn't button up your shirt? Ya I saw. If you want me to talk to the guys, I'll pleasingly do it for you." "Thanks, but it's okay." He ended my sentence early. "You know what I, actually insist." Then I cut him early. "Really it's fi.." "Jade really," He knows my name, a hot guy knows my fucking nameeeeee!! "I think I should talk to the guys. It wasn't right what they did."
