Chapter 1

Jade POV:

The first day of senior year. I should be excited. But it just reminds me that I'm not done with high school yet.

"Hi Jade!" Cat is always so bubbly. It's extremely cute. She's one of the few people I can't hate.

"Hey kitty." We embrace and we talk about what we've done over the summer. "How was Washington?"

"It was borrring! You didn't go with me!"

"I know. I'm sorry about that. My mom needed me to help her with her catering business."

Cat, the rest of our friends, and I are in our acting class. Before it starts, I notice Cat is talking to a girl I've never seen before. This aggravates me but I'm not sure why. The bell rings and Cat takes her rightful seat next to me. I whisper "Who the hell were you talking to?"

"Why are you so mean Jade?"

"Excuse me Cat and Jade. I believe it is my turn to have the stage." Mr. Sikowitz interrupts her.

"Sorry Mr. S." She apologizes quietly.

We head to our usual table and the new girl is sitting in my seat next to Beck. Ugh. Beck, my ex.

"Hey new bitch, man whore. Move over"

"Baby, don't be mean." Cat whispers.

"Don't call me that here." I whisper back.

"Jade. I'm not a whore. You left me for Cat." Beck turns facing me. Shit. He got me there. But I didn't cheat or anything. He's too much of a chick magnet. Plus I realized I was gay the night Cat and I drank too much and we spilled our hearts out to each other.

"Wait, am I the 'bitch' then?" The new girl finally got it.

"Jade, this is Tori. She's new here. I asked her to sit with us during lunch." I glare at Tori and Beck and they scoot to their left.

"So, Cat, is it?" She nods, "What is this school like?" Cat explains the happenings of Hollywood arts to Tori for the rest of lunch. I draw little designs on Cat's thigh wishing we could have free time instead.

After school Cat, Tori, and Andre walk up to me at my locker. "Hey girl."

"Hey Andre. How was your summer?"

"Well, I visited my-"

"Andre, I don't really care."

"Oh, yea. I knew that." Tori giggles at him and I glare at her. She steps back. Bitch knows her place.

Wait. What the fuck. Did she just get closer to Cat? "Cat. Are you still coming over today?" I ask. Still staring down Tori.

"Of course honey-bun!" She skips towards me and we head to my car.

"He mom. I'm here. Cat is too." Her and Cat love each other. They talk while I get a glass of water for Cat. Some times, she gets too excited and gets dehydrated.

"Aw. You got your little girlfriend a glass of water." My mom pinches my cheek. I hate it when she does that.

"Cut it out mom." I hiss.

"Aw. You're so cute honey." She's the only person in the world that doesn't get offend by my attitude.

Cat is playing with my hair while I'm lying on my bed. "So what do you think about the new girl: Tori?" What the shit. Why is she asking me this.

"I don't give a shit Cat."

She props herself on her elbow. "But Jade, why would you give human waste to some one?"

"Cat. It means I don't want to talk about the priss." She looks at me. Opens her mouth, as if to say something, and promptly closes it.

To fill the awkward silence. I decide to start to kiss Cat's soft neck.
