Chapter One - Mr. Arrogant

**JADE's POV**

It's a beautiful day here at my beloved school backyard , with clouds up above and the breeze blowing through my hair . I'm now reading a book called 'Everyday' by David Levithan while sipping a cup of mango shake . Perfect time to relax .

I'm glad I made it on eighth grade. Sixth grade really was a challenge for me and guess what, all my effort was worth it.

It isn't a joke to be at high-school. Lots of projects, homeworks, and even subjects. But still, you couldn't get away with those popular kids and bullies. There are a lot of bullies here in my school, I tell you.

They usually bully those low-class students like me. Well, truth be told, some even told me that I'm lucky 'coz no single bully ever touched my flesh.

Hm, I guess that's what you call lucky.

But at the same time , no one talks to me. Yes like, literally. They just leave me out of place everytime. Well, I don't care if I'm OP. It's even better because you can concentrate on your studies more.

Everyone doesn't talk to me, well , all except my only and noisy friend, Ericka. I don't know if you'll believe it, but we are very loquacious . We talk a lot only when we're alone.

Me and Ericka have been best of friends since first grade. Our friendship is still on fire right now and I hope this'll remain forever. Our friendship survived hundreds of times from fighting and blaming and all those stuff, and I'm glad to declare that I'm proud of it.

She's sitting beside me right now, listening through her headphones. She got the music blaring in her ears, I could hear it from here.

Seems like she's drowning herself with her own music.

Ericka's been there for me through thick and thin. She never left me even in the darkest times. I'm glad to have a best friend like her and I'm sure I'll never find another one like her. To top it all, she's the best.

But I'm not sure if she's getting any more talkative. She's been so quiet the past few weeks and I'm getting curious. And since she always says "nothing", it's making me even more curious.

"Ericka," I held her shoulder gently to loosen up her mood. She's frowning and it's really evident. "Are you okay ? You've been so quiet lately." I smiled with worry and she smiled back weakly.

"I'm alright, Jade ." Ericka sent an assuring smile, taking off her headphones. "What makes you think that I'm not?" she asked with a brow arched up.

I smirked. "Bruhh, it's obvious that you aren't. C'mon dude, I'm your best friend and we promised to be there for each other." I pouted.

She looked away. "You don't need to know it. Besides, I could handle it by my own."

"Hm, are you heartbroken? Has Timothy found another girl?" I smirked playfully, trying to brighten her mood. Timothy's been her crush for years. We've been talking about him all the time and I'm sure that this subject is involved.
