This was a request, I decided to give it a try. It sounded somewhat, interesting to me.

Thursday morning Jade walked into Hollywood Arts; the high school she's been attending for the past three years, this would be her fourth. Jade has a reputation at this place. Not only is she known as the mean Goth girl dating Beck Oliver but she's also known for her amazing talent as the lead in most school plays. Jade quickly walked to her locker, giving a mean glare to anyone who dared looked at her. Using her combination, she opened her locker gathering books from inside. Someone tapped her shoulder, she turned around.

Jade: Never touch me.

Sinjin: Oh, uh, I'm sorry.

Sinjin stood nervously playing with his fingers. Jade shook her head as she rolled her eyes.

Jade: What do you want?

Sinjin shook at Jade's words.

Sinjin: We're partners for the screenwriting project and I uh-

Jade: What?

Sinjin: I haven't seen you all week.

Jade slammed her locker shut causing Sinjin to jump.

Jade: It will get done.

Sinjin: But the script is due tomorrow and I-

Jade walked away ignoring Sinjin's words. She walked into the restroom praying no one would be in there. The bell rang as girls scrambled from out the restroom leaving Jade alone. She stood in the mirror staring at herself.

Jade: It's just for eight hours, you can do this.

Jade could feel her heart racing as her breath became short, she knew this feeling.

Jade walked into her first period ten minutes late for class. She ignored the stares as she sat in an opened seat in the front of the room.

Sikowitz: Jade, nice of you to join us.

Jade: No need to focus on me, go on with your annoying story.

Jade felt her phone vibrate from inside her bag. She took it out reading the text.

To: Jade

From: Beck

Come sit back here.

She sighed putting the phone back into its place. Time went on as Jade sat lost in her thoughts.

Sikowitz: Jade. Jade. Jade!

Jade looked up at the bald strange man standing inches away from her.

Jade: What?

Sikowitz: I said you're up for improv, let's go.

Jade sighed as she sat her bag down before joining three of her classmates on stage. She saw her best friend Jenny, and boyfriend Beck sitting in their usual seats in the back. She turned avoiding eye contact with them.

Sikowitz: You're all stuck in an elevator in a burning building, go!

As the other students on stage started improving, dramatically gasping and yelling for help, Jade stood horrified.

Sikowitz: Loving your reaction Jade, keep it going.

Jade knew it was coming, she pushed past the other actors before jumping down from the stage, rushing out the room.

Sikowitz: When I said keep it going, I meant on stage.

The students stopped with their improving confused.

Jenny: Sikowitz, may I go see what's wrong with Jade?

Jade sprinted down the hall, running into the nearest Ladies Room. She ran into a stall closing it in time as she puked into a toilet, gagging. Jenny ran into the restroom, hearing Jade.

Jenny: Jade? Jade, are you okay?

Jade didn't answer, she was too busy puking, begging in her thoughts for it to stop.

Jenny: Jade?

Jenny knocked on the closed stall. Jade finished puking, she stood breathing hard trying to recover.

Jenny: Jade are you okay?

Jade: Ye-yeah. Go back to class Jenny.

Jenny: I want to make sure you're okay.

Using her foot, Jade pressed a button on the wall flushing the toilet.

Jade: I'm fine.

Jenny: Are you sick? Is that why you haven't been here?

Jade opened the stall door walking out to the sink to wash her hands.

Jenny: Oh my gosh! You look, flushed. Look at your cheeks.

Jade: I'm fine Jenny, don't touch me.

Jenny frowned at Jade, she couldn't help but stare. Jade looked at her from the mirror.

Jade: What?

Jenny: Where have you been?

Jade: Obviously sick.

Jenny: Beck thinks you're mad at him.

Jade sighed turning from the sink.

Jade: I'm not mad at him, I just need space.

Jenny: What's wrong? Is it your, parents?

Being Jade's best friend, Jenny knew Jade didn't have the nicest parents. Jade shook her head at her friend.

Jenny: Because you know you can stay at my house if-

Jade: It's not them. They're not even home.

Jenny: Where are they?

Jade: I don't know, they went out of town.

Jenny: Well, how come you've been ignoring my calls too?

Jade: Do you have gum?

Jenny reached into her purse pulling out a pack of gum, she handed a stick to
Jade.

Jenny: We should get back to class.

Jade unwrapped the stick of gum, she popped it into her mouth.

Jade: You go ahead, I'm gonna hang here.

Jenny: Why?

Jade: Because I want to be alone Jenny that's why. Just leave.

Without saying a word, Jenny turned on her heel leaving the bathroom.

Jade: (sighs) Why did I even come?

Jade skipped first and second period, she sat in the halls writing in her notebook, ideas for the script due tomorrow morning. Staying close to the restroom for when she needed to puke. At lunch, Jade sat alone outside at a table. She held her head trying to stay awake. She looked up when she saw a tray hit the table as Jenny sat down. Jenny handed Jade her bag that she had left in Sikowitz' class.

Jade: Thanks.

Jenny: We had a test in speech if you didn't know.

Jade: I don't care.

Jenny: Beck's looking for you.

Jade: You didn't tell him about what happened in the bathroom, did you?

Jenny: Was I not supposed to?

Jade: (sighs) No, you weren't.

Jenny: Well excuse me, he asked if you were okay.

Jade: He worries too much.

Jenny: Have you been sick or something?

Jade: Yes, but it's just a stomach bug, nothing big.

Jenny: Oh.

Jenny took a bite of her burrito, Jade groaned turning her head.

Jade: Do you have to eat that around me?

Jenny: What? This? Want some?

Jade: No. The smell, it's making me sick.

Jenny: Now I know you're actually sick.

Jenny laughed wiping her mouth with a napkin.

Jenny: You love Festus' burritos.

Jade spotted Beck walking from the grub truck making his way over to their table.

Jade: I'm gonna go. I have to find stupid Sinjin.

Jenny: Poor Sinjin.

Beck walked over to the table as Jade stood up to leave.

Beck: Jade, are you okay? Where have you been?

Beck grabbed Jade's arm stopping her, she pulled it away not looking at him.

Beck: Where are you going?

Jade: I have to start my script, it's due tomorrow.

Beck: But we-

Beck sighed as Jade walked away, he sat down with Jenny.

Beck: What did I do?

Jenny shrugged eating her burrito.

Beck: She skips school all week and ignores my calls.

Beck frowned looking down to his lunch.

Jenny: Don't cry, she ignored me too.

Beck: (chuckles) Not crying, just wondering.

Jenny: It's Jade, she'll come around soon.

Beck: Yeah, I'll try talking to her next period.

Jenny: She has no choice considering your assigned seats are next to each other.

Beck: Unless she skips.

Jenny: So, has your brother been asking about me?

Beck: I'm having a crisis and you're thinking about my brother?

Jenny: Has he?

Beck: You and every other female.

Jenny: (gasps) Does he like me?

Beck: Back to Jade. Something is up with her.

Jenny: She's just not feeling well, that's all.

Beck: No, I don't know.

Jenny: Maybe it's her period.

Beck: Gross. I'm eating.

Jenny: Period, period, period.

Beck pushed his plate away.

Beck: Thank you Jenny.

/ / / / / / / / / / / / /

The bell rang for the next period, Jade walked into class sitting at her assigned seat, next to Beck. She looked ahead not wanting to see him.

Beck: Did I do something wrong?

Jade: Why are you asking?

Jade continued looking ahead avoiding eye contact.

Beck: The fact that you've been ignoring me.

Beck grabbed Jade's chin turning her to see him.

Beck: And the fact that you can't look at me.

Jade swapped away Beck's hand, she turned her head back looking ahead.

Beck: Jenny said you're sick. Are you okay?

Jade: I wouldn't be sitting here if I wasn't.

Jade's harsh tone was Beck's signal to stop talking. To leave her alone with his questions. He turned forward in his seat and started writing down notes from the board.

Jade: Just two more classes, just two more classes.

Beck looked over to Jade observing as she held her head up with her hands, looking down at the desk.

Beck: Ja-

Jade: Just leave me alone, Beck!

Beck could feel the awkward stares of his classmates.
