I knew something was off with her from the start. I knew the purpose of her talking to me was not to know me rather was to find a means into my solidity so that she can take against me. My emotions began to take the best of me, gladly I was shaken from the unreal reality that was in front of me. 

I walked home after school because going in the school bus is quite literally living hell. Everyone saying trashy words to you, shooting spit balls at you along with crushed up paper and even the attempt of tripping me down to the floor just to be the comedy of their evilness. Such demons are they. 

*** At home ***

I will tell you something, I am like any ordinary person who has social media and loves the whole concept of the internet, let me be a bit more specific, love the idea of socializing with people other than the one's from my school because those people are such pain the ass. As I was scrolling through Facebook, I got a notification of a friend request. I was in shock because no one ever sends me any friend quest, I am normally the one who sends the friend requests. Curiosity overwhelmed me and I clicked to see whom it was. Finding out whom it was made me get an outburst of emotions which I couldn't handle. If you haven't guessed whom it was then let me tell you, the one who sent me the friend request was Blaire Richards, the girl whom i kissed and the one who got me a good beating on my face.

I was about to click the accept button when my conscience came in tune. What the hell are you doing!? Um... I am going to accept her request. Are you nuts!?  You already know what that will cause you. Weren't you already warned by Justin already?! Yes but she is different, I know it! I can feel it as well. Dude you are just fantasizing yourself over the moment, THE ONE MOMENT, you had with Blaire. Get over it because that little show was just a moment which saved you from teasing but got you a hell of a punch to the face. But... But.. No but, but me right now. You know that i am correct so get your thoughts together and leave that girl alone. 

Well, I can't deny that my conscience has gotten me out of so many situations, especially when it comes to exposing myself to wrong people. I should have followed it when it told me not to get too close with her. So I can't do nothing more than just dive in into my world where my demons unravel as I draw on my sketch pad.  I began drawing, practicing for my art class which is going to be tomorrow. I was in my own world when I heard my phone ring the messenger tone, then I thought, who can that be? I went to check and it  was Blaire. OH MY GOSH!  In my mind I exclaimed and fought with myself asking 'should I.... shouldn't'. Then i thought to myself, fuck it let's see what she has to say."

(okay guys i will try make this kind of like a messenger chat so please bare with me :D)

Hey, I am so sorry about today Jayden. My sister, she is conceited.

 Why didn't you tell me that Sarah was your sister? 

I thought that she didn't had nothing against you.

She is different at home. She is not like this.

Well I guess now you know what kind of sister you have.

Yeah now I do, but I am not like my sister.

I am not like her.

 Trust me your not the first one to tell me that.

I am serious! What will it take for me to prove you that I am not?

Stop being my friend.

I closed the chat after that. She messaged back but I didn't bothered to open it because I already know what will be the outcome. False promises along with false actions. To be honest, it best being alone because, you venture more about yourself rather than people venturing in you and finding stuffs in which they can uphold against you. To add to my little frustration that was building up in my head, I was called for dinner. I had to find a way to tell them that I have football practice tomorrow, hiding the fact that i will have art classes right after school. You may ask right now, how i managed to get enrolled in a art class and also with what money. Well, since I am normally by myself and the whole campus have a grudge on me, you don't tend to spend money. So what i end up doing is saving up and with that I pay them. Also, it ain't that really costly because the only charge $5 an hour if your a student, if your not then they charge you the full price which is $15. 

As I make my way to the dinning table, I frantically think of a perfect way to tell them. I reached my seat and I have nothing in mind so this leaves to my final option which is to just wing it. I bless my soul in this moment. 

"Omg Jayden! What happened to you?!"  Crap I forgot that Justin punched me in the face.

"Um..."  I had to think very quickly, " oh don't worry mom, it's just that the football knocked me face that's why it is bruised. I am practicing for a game which is coming up." Why the hell did i had to say that.

"Oh really? My boy is having his first game coming up soon. Well I am proud of you son! What position are you in the football team?"  Dad asked.

"Oh, I am the quarterback." 

"Nice, I expect you to score a touchdown." Dad exclaimed with full excitement.

In what mess did I put myself to!? I am not part of the team in school and it has been ages that I have played football! Now I have an additional thing to worry about now, first its about avoiding Blaire now finding a way in the football team. Then something clicked me. Blaire sister's boyfriend is part of the football team, how about I ask her for a favor. I hurriedly devoured my dinner then I rushed my room leaving my parents puzzled. I went to my phone and checked what Blaire sent me and to my benefit she said these words "I don't want to lose your friendship, tell me what I can do to still have you in my life."  Well you already know what I responded. She agreed to help me and I was the happiest person alive but till after I closed the chat with where did I realize in what mess I got myself to. I ain't a popular kid nor does people like me! 

'Today is definitely is not my day!' I screamed in my mind. To be disturbed my conscience tuned in and said You caused this to yourself you butthole. Oh just shut up! I exclaimed shutting out my infuriating conscience. 

 What will happen the next day? Will Justin make Jayden's life a living hell or will he make an excellence quarterback? Stay tuned.
