*Beep Beep Beep* I grab my phone and click 'snooze' I sit up and see that i have a text from Becca, "Bring a pair of shorts and a tank top bc u don't have ur uniform yet." I text back. "kk" And set my phone on my bed side.
I don't feel like taking a shower today so i just walk over to my closet. I put on my high waisted skirt with my black tank and tuck it in with a gray cardigan with my black combat boots. I grab my phone and my moms necklace.
I open the door and bump into something hard and fall to the ground falling straight on my tail bone. "Ow!" I say grabbing my phone and necklace from the floor. "Watch were your going" I here a familiar voice.
I look up to see Adam with a smirk playing on his lips, I look down and see that my skirt is up and i quickly pull it down. I feel my cheeks heat up, "Will you at least help me up?" I ask. He rolls his eyes and holds out a hand.
"Thanks," I say. I grab my necklace to put it on but notice the bird charm is missing. My stomach immediately drops. "No No No," I say beginning to panic. I look on the ground by my feet and don't see anything.
"What?" He asks turning around from the stairs. I get on the floor and begin to feel around. The floor is white marble the golden bird should be easy to find but i don't see it anywhere. "The charm," I say.
"What charm?" He asks with an annoyed tone. "The charm that was on my necklace, The little gold bird." I say holding up the charmless gold chain. "So? Who cares about that stupid charm its just a necklace," He says laughing.
"I do!" I say in a half yell. He jumps back a little, startled by my voice."This necklace is the only thing i have left of my mom i need it, I've worn it everyday since.." I say feeling a tear roll down my cheek. I hear him sigh and i feel him walk closer.
"Look its gotta be here some where ill find it i promise." He says grabbing my hand. I look at our hands and pull back, "You better its your fault its gone." I say before walking down the stairs.
The car ride was full of quiet tension. I didn't look or talk to him the whole ride there. That charm was my prize possession, might sound weird but it was the only thing i could remember my mom by. It made me feel like a part of her was with me all the time. And now i feel almost naked without it.
We pull up in the parking lot and he turns off the car. I grab my book bag but Adams arm stops me. I look at his gentle hand on my wrist and then back at him. "Look, Abbey I'm seriously sorry about your charm, If i don't find it ill buy you a knew necklace no problem," He say.
Does he seriously think just buying me a new necklace would solve this? "Buying me a new necklace or charm wont solve this," I say grabbing my book bag and getting out of his car. I slam the door and walk off.

All day I've been feeling completely off without my necklace. I don't know if I'm just over reacting but that necklace was a piece of me. "Why were you getting out of Adam Bates car this morning?" I hear and snap out of my thoughts.
"Huh?" I ask. "I saw you this morning getting out of Adam Bates car Why?" Becca says as we walk to the table. "Oh you know him?" I ask surprised. I'm new here but i can tell that Becca is well known and I drought the popular people know who Adam is hes such an outcast.
"Uhh yeah, Hes such a druggie, last year he was caught with weed and went to jail for a night, He got arrested here and everything." She says as we sit down. "Seriously?" I asked surprised. I didn't know he did drugs.
"What are you guys talking about?" Kate asks popping a grape into her mouth. "Abbey was seen with Adam Bates this morning." Becca says folding her arms. "What? Why?" Kate asks with a descusted face. "Hes my step brother," I lie. "He just gave me a ride to school this morning." I say. Kate and Becca look at me with huge eyes.
