Promise Me

chapter 1

 

Man You know what I don't understand?

Why school doesn't sell bacon. Just plain bacon you know? Who doesn't like bacon? The school would be rich if they sold a piece of bacon for 50 cents!

But noooo they want to feed us poor kids some off brand cereal, with some expired milk!

Like I don't expect some big buffet, but damn! Can I atleast get some lucky charms that aren't stale?

" OMG HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESS!" I turn to see  my bestfriend Anna running up to me with open arms.

" YOUR FINALLY SEVEN-TEEN BITCH" she says as she engulfs me in her arms.

I laugh as I see everyone giving us weird looks. What? You've never seen a giant tell a girl happy birthday?

" Thanks Anna, but could you let go of me so I can you know? BREATHE!!" I say

" Oh sorry," she giggles letting me go " but I gotta get to class so Mr. Carter doesn't call my mom again for me being late, so see you later birthday girl" she tells me running down the hall.

Well. French here I come.

END OF SCHOOL

Finally! I'm out of that hell hole.

Should I just walk home or should I stop by that smoothie place?

Well I'm in the mood for a strawberry banana smoothie so smoothie place it is.

I don't know what life would be without my music

Even though some of these songs be putting me in my feelings

I take a right and see the same asshole group of boys I see everyday.

" aww guys look there's jess, the girl who's scared to fight hannah aww"

I already knew it was Ryder that said it even though I put my head down and tried to act like I don't see them.

He's right though

I can't fight and i've never been in a fight. I'm not strong.

Everyone in my family can fight except me. My sister says she knows I can fight i'm just scared because I never been in one.

I try to avoid all drama with people but drama always seems to find me

I walk past the group of laughing boys and into the smoothie shop.

Once I'm in there I go straight to the booth I always sit in throw my book bag in it and walk towards the cashier.

"Ahhh Jessica your back!" Finn greets me with his biggest smile from the other side of the counter.

" Wait I think I got it, Strawberry banana right?" He says

" yep" I laugh. Damn I come here that often they remember my order.

" Comin right up! That will be 50 dollars and-"

" excuse me?!" I cut him off. And he starts laughing at my outburst.

Yeah ha ha great joke

" I'm just messin with ya kid. It's 5 dollars and 89 cents" he say once he finish laughing

I pull out my wallet and take out a 10 dollar bill and hand it to him.

"Keep the change and I don't want a receipt" I tell him

I walk back over to my table and sat down waiting for my smoothie.

I gotta go home and finish my homework because I'm not trying to fail my last school year. I don't even know if I want to go to college!

Everyone tells me I need to hurry up and decide but, I'm tired of school!

If I go to college that's even more work I gotta do! Like I know going to college helps you find a better job but I'm fine working at chick-fil-a.

Let me stop. I know my fat ass would would eat all the chicken.

But still I don't need a big paying job. I'm gonna be by myself probably with a with a couple pets to keep me company. I don't mind a small apartment.

I jumped as my smoothie is slammed right in front of me on the table.

I look up to see the person who's responsible for trying to give me a heart attach.

"I'm sorry ma'am I didn't mean to slam the drink down my apologies" the blonde says with a sincere look on her face.

" no worries it's okay." I tell her putting a fake smile on my face.

As she walks away I dive in to take a sip of my delicious smoothie.

I walked towards the door as i'm finishing the last sips of my drink praying to god the boys are gone

I walk out and plug my headphones in and start walking

I see the boys are gone and I do my little spin in excitement.

It's starting to get dark so let me just go to my moms house sense it's closer

As I get into the neighborhood it's already almost pitch black

I stop as I hear a crackling sound in the woods.

I turn my head to look to see if I see anything, but I don't, it's probably the wind.

I unlock my door and step in and feel the good warmness of the house.

"Jess is that you?" I hear my mom scream from upstairs

" yes ma" I scream back throwing the keys on the counter.

I go upstairs to my room and sit on my bed and pull out my work

whew it's gonna be a long night
