Room For One More

(Jace's PoV)

My long black hair messily dangled in my face as I tried to comb it out and style it. After ten minutes I had it fixed, a little more emo looking than I intended. But it didn't look bad.

"Jace is awake!! Jace is up!!" I heard my baby sister shouting as she ran down the hall.

"Hi Emma!!" I cheerfully exclaimed as she jumped into my arms. She was 6 and had the most adorable big blue eyes and curly blonde hair. I could tell that she was gonna have all the boys chasing her when she got older, and I would be the great big brother that kicked the ass of any girl that makes my baby sister cry.

"Jace, do you have to leave? I wanna play" Emma said, giving me a puppy dog face.

"Yes I do, but I will be back later and we can play then ok."

"Promise?" She asked, still with the puppy face.

"Of course I promise, now go eat some breakfast." I said, putting her down so she could run back to the kitchen.

"You're such a great brother." My mom said as she walked into my room.

"It really means a lot to her you know. You're the closest thing she has to a dad. I just wish you had someone like that in your life." She said with a guilty voice.

"Mom I'm fine, you know that. It's better for all of us that dad's in jail. He can't hurt anyone from there." I assured her.

About a year ago my dad got thrown in jail for murder. It was probably the best thing that could have happened because living with him was horrible, he was mean and loud and scary. And even though it's been hard adjusting, its so much better without him.

"Okay. Go to school sweetie, I'll see you later."

"Ok. Bye mom."

I grabbed my backpack and went out to my car I had an ugly 10 year old station wagon, but it got me places, so I loved it. I have all of my friends rides to school. All 3 of them. I was a pretty major loser. But I didn't need to be popular. I was perfectly happy with my 3 close friends.

I always pick up Leslie first. She is my closest friend. And we have known each other for the longest. And not like I would ever tell her, but I had a pretty big crush on her. She didn't think so, but I though she was beautiful.

I pulled up to Leslie's apartment building, and as usual she was standing out front talking to Kate Kalls. The biggest slut formerly most popular girl in school. I don't think she'll be anywhere near as loved after she sunk Brad Freil's boat this summer. I heard that his family is sewing her for like 6 million dollars. Which is probably ridiculous considering how poor Kate's family already is.

I stopped my cat right in front of Leslie and rolled down the window.

"Is there room for one more today?" Leslie asked poking her head in the window.

"Who is one more?" I cautiously asked. I knew she meant Kate, but I honestly hoped I wouldn't have to give Kate a ride. I didn't like her. She was so snobby, and fake, and she thought she was cooler than everyone.

"Kate needs a ride to school. Can we give her one?" She whispered.

"I don't know. You know how I..." I started.

"I know. But come on Jace. Who's it gonna hurt?" Damn I hate when she's right.

"Yeah we can give her a ride." I said.

"Well get in Kate, we've got other people to pick up." She said, getting in the front seat.

"Thank you Jace." Kate said getting in the back seat.

"No problem." I replied.

What do you guys think so far?

This book is going to focus on the points of view of five people. Hopefully that doesn't get too confusing. I think it will mostly focus on Leslie, Kate, and Jace. But the other two will be important too. The next chapter is going to have the points of view of both of the other characters. And then after that I will do one big one that goes through Kate's full day. Including the argument with her dad in the morning and her first day not being popular. Also I will not always be writing the same story from different points of view. I'm only doing that for this event because I think it's a good way to get to know all of the main characters.

I hope you enjoy this story because so far I am really enjoying writing it.
