Jemma Newman is strong and sassy; a girl like no other. She can take anything you throw at her, except emotions....that's something she isn't used to.

Unable to haul myself up. I grab my phone from under my pillow and enter my twelve letter password. 54 messages!?! I click my Facebook account and see that the picture I posted yesterday has got 49 likes and 34 comments. I look at the most recent comments, they were as follows:
Ohmigosh! I would pay to see that!
I was like that myself! RIP Stereo Kicks
GEMMA! HOW DARE YOU POST THIS!
Oh mushroom stew....Alice has saw. I log off my Facebook account and see that my whatsapp has 23 notifications, all from Alice. I scroll down and down at the long list of 'I'm never speaking to you again' and the 'I hate you's'. God, who knew she would be this affected?
I ring up Alice and it goes to voicemail. "Hey, this is Alice! Sorry, I can't talk right now but leave a message after the beep and I'll get right back to you!" Beeeeep.
"Hi, Alice. I'm so sorry, I didn't think it would be such a big deal." I didn't know what else to say so I hung up and eventually did my one sit up of the day (getting out of bed) - very hard work.
I had a wash and changed into my school uniform, god, Monday. I brushed my hair and let it hang loose. I picked up my phone to see if Alice had left a message.
YOU HAVE ONE NOTIFICATION
I clicked my messages and saw the six words that might as well be the worst words one can recieve from their best friend- or in this case ex bestie.
Don't talk to me ever again.
I honestly think she is over reacting, I mean, all a girl did was post a picture. Is that such a crime?
Apparently yes, it is a crime.
Arrest me.
I sigh as I walk downstairs, mum meets my eye and gives me a warming smile, I do the best I can to return it but fail in the attempt as mum notices that I'm down in the dumps.
"It was Facebook, wasn't it?"
Where did that come from?
"Delete your account, this may be the first Facebook problem you encounter but...just delete it. Because then it will be Instagram, Snapchat and YouTune.'
YouTune? Didn't know that was a thing.
"It wasn't Facebook, well it was, but it wasn't. I uploaded this picture on Facebook to get revenge but now Alice isn't talking to me." I explain, showing mum the picture.
"Apologise online, then delete your account, then eat your breakfast already then get your lunch and finally get outta my sight and off to school."
What the heck?
So I then apologised online, I told mum I deleted my account but I didn't, ate my breakfast and forgot my lunch and went out of mums sight, to the toilet. Then eventually went off to school.
I decided to walk instead of taking the bus, therefore wouldn't have to face Alice.
But, sooner or later I'd have to experience a friendly trip with Alice- BANG. I'm suddenly on the floor.
"Woah, okay, I'm so sorry, let me help you up." The person- girl? Says. I brush my hair away from my face and take her hand. Oh boy, the girl that bumped into me is...
"Gemma? Because of you, when I stepped on the bus everyone started pointing and laughing at me! You've ruined my life." She says, woah, melodramatic much?
"I'm so sorry Alice." I say, starting to run. I just need to get to school quickly, luckily Alice isn't in my class. BANG. I'm on the floor, again, why is it always me?
"Oh great, second time today!" I mumble. I wonder who the pavement crasher is this time.
"Oh, uh..let me help you up. Sorry about that, I'm very clumsy." I could tell this was a boy. Like last time, I brushed the hair from my face and took his hand. Great, just great, first I get crashed down by Alice and now...
"No worries, Ryan. I'll be on my way now." I say, walking fast so neither Alice nor Ryan catches up to me. I come to a hault, why am I walking again? I've got a car. I'm so stupid sometimes. I start walking when I dodge an opportunity to get crashed down in the pavement again. Point Jemma.
'You have great dodging skills.' Liam says and for a second our eyes lock, but only for a second. Our relationship was over years ago.
I hate eye-locking. It's just so awkward and....awkward.
"Why are you walking that way? School is this way." He says, pointing in the direction of where he was walking.
"I was getting my car." I said, continuing my journey.
"My car is parked a street away, just come with me."
'Hey I just met you and this is Crazy but lets go for a car ride and I will puke maybe.' Okay I didn't say that.
What the hell was this boy up to? The last time we ever had a conversation was in year 7, he was my boyfriend that left me for Alice, it was funny because he was cheating on Alice too with another girl. It was then that I became friends with Alice. I knew he was cheating with Alice because I saw him taking her hand. When I confronted him he leaned in to kiss me calling me 'the one' but thankfully, I dodged it.
Like I want to doge this conversation.
"Liam..." I started, I didn't want to get myself into anything.
"I'm not like before, I've changed and it was you that made me realise that I had to change." He said, lifting my chin. Oh, he was quite the charmer but not enough to charm me.
I hate this guy, like who does he think he is.
"Sorry but no." I said, turning around and continuing my journey, not letting anyone disturb me this time.
That boy has worse issues then Ryan.
Actually, I think all guys have issues. They think they can do anything and nobody will stop them, well that applies to me too. TRY AND STOP ME.
