Season 1 episode 1
Beep! Beep! Beep! my alarm screeched into my ear "Shut up!" I yelled at it but it my cries were in vain as it kept going with that horrible beeping that could make Albert Einstein go insane, "Shut up!" I shouted again but then I realized I actually had to hit the stop button in order to regain some form of quiet. Lifting my arm with much strain I pounded the snooze button like a wrestler before hitting my head on the pillow once again I sighed in contempt but it was short lived when my aunt Mary knocked on the door
"Jade sweetie you need to get up" I responded with a caveman groan "Mrs Dubcek doesn't pay you to sleep around all day" she had a point to be fair. You see I'm from Australia and my mum (Mary's cousin) was a well payed Business women but we never really got along, especially after she met Dave. It hadn't even been a month since my dad had died at the time and as soon as she met him she 'loved' him (or his wallet I should say).He was arrogant bossy and acted as if he was the best dad in the world so when I said enough was enough she shipped me over here, America, to live my my second cousin Mary, Aunt Mary. I'm much more happy here than I ever have been in my life I have my friends August and Asha I go to a good school and my room here is amazing! so yeah suck on that Mom! ...I'm sorry for that little out burst... anyway!
I got up and got changed then rushed over to Mrs Dubcek's house as I had two minutes to get there and let me tell you I felt like I had ran a bloody marathon when I arrived, making my way up the stairs as she was showing these people round the attic room "Hello?" I said as I entered the attic room. To my surprise the people moving in were rubbing their cheeks against her top "are you okay?" I asked her and they all turned to look at me. Mrs Dubcek rushed over to me
"Oh Jade there you are!" she began to look through her bag "I need you too pick up these two books from the Library if you dont mind" I shook my head
"Not at all" I took the piece of paper from her that had the names on then walked off to the library.
After about twenty minutes of looking for the first book I decided to ask a person behind the counter "Excuse me do you know where I could find books by Lavender Bluemer?" I asked the women but before she could respond a boy next to me said
"I'll help you" I turned to see a boy around my age and height
"oh em sure, okay" I followed him to the isle I had passed like fifty times and he pointed the author out within about two seconds "I passed it like twenty times how did you find it?!" I asked him incredulously
"well you were looking for Lavender Bluemer right?" he explained "well, every three isles there's a different genre and Lavender Bluemer rights romance so you go to those isles and narrow it down by going down the rows in alphabetical order, then you find the title of the book and.. yeah you get the idea" I sad nothing but just smiled and gave a laugh
"tha-that's amazing you're really"
"smart, yeah I get that a lot" he told me.
"Whats you're name?" I asked him
"My name?" he repeated as if he had forgotten for a moment "Oh yes! my names Tommy, Tommy Solomon" I shook his hand "and you?"
"Jade Campbell" I don't know what it was about Tommy but something told me that he was going to have a big impact on my life stupid I know but I just could shake the feeling, anyways afterwards we when to the cafeteria and talked for a little bit I told him about me and my Aunt and then he told me how he was one of the family moving into 's Attic room
"Me and you must have meant to be friends!" he joked. I laughed and nodded before shrugging my shoulders
"Maybe" it was then when Mr Solomon or Dick came in and spotted us, he looked slightly angry at first before putting on a fake smile
"Well if it isn't Jade and Tommy! how lovely to see you here, say jade" he began "you don't mind if I steel Tommy for a moment do you?" before I could say anything Dick had grabbed Tommy up by the arm and dragged him away. for a minute it looked like they were fighting until they started to to this weird looking thing before dick clapped a hand on Tommy's shoulder and walked away, it was after that I looked at my watch and realized I might be late for the party if I didn't get ready soon. Tommy came back and sat down
"Hey listen I'm sorry but I gotta go" I told him standing up "but I guess I'll see you around?" I smiled
"Okay see you" he smiled back and with that walked out of the library with the books Mrs. Dubcek wanted, feeling very happy that I had made a new friend.
"Do I really have to go to this thing?" I asked her putting on my black blazer over my dress, I had to admit I was kind of glad to get an opportunity to wear this outfit, the dress had a blue top and skirt and I put on my black flats before putting my hair in a messy (but tolerable) bun then threw on my blazer. I was a lttle nervous because I would be in a room with lots and lots of smart people, would they like me? would they hate me? stupid I know.
"Yes, it will be good for you" Mary said fixing her hair in the mirror "you hardly ever get out" she turned round and smiled at me and sighed, "you look gorgeous honey calm down!" she stroked my cheek like a mother would to a child "your mother would be jealous" I smiled and laughed slightly
"thanks you're not so bad yourself" I put my hand over hers. If I'm honest Mary is like the mother I always wanted, haha Mother Mary, get it? no? okay then... anyway we made our way to the car and soon we were on our way to the 'party' (yeah more like snooze feast!).
"and so when these two particals collide it makes this huge impact" one professor went on, Mary was putting on a fake smile and laugh but I just rolled my eyes and looked around
"oh look Jade your plates empty come on can't have you starving!" she did that stupid fake laugh, as she was steering me away I said
"I don't have a plate" dumbly. Never the less I was quite hungry so I grabbed a plate and started to get some food but it wasn't long before my hand collided with another "oh sorry" we both said and the same time, I looked up to see none other than Tommy Solomon "Tommy?!" I exclaimed
"Jade?! what are you doing here?" he asked me
"I'm here with Mary why what about you?" Tommy suddenly froze up slightly
"Sorry did you say Mary?" he said slightly skeptical
"Yeah Mary Aulbright she's my aunt" I told him and he looked as though he was about to laugh. I was very confused, what would Mary be to him?
"W-well my comand- I- I mean Dad!" he stuttered slightly "kind of has a thing for Mary" my eyes widened in shock and realization
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!" I exclaimed again
"Dick Solomon is your dad?" I couldn't believe it.
"Well what'do'ya know, small world" I smile. We looked over to Dick and Mary who were arguing Mary suddenly walked away and Dick shouted
"What did I do wrong?!" and ran after her, I looked over to Tommy and we both laughed
"What was that about?" I asked him
"I have no idea, I just leave Dick alone sometimes" he laughed with me. It was nice have a boy as a friend there was no bitchiness, vanity or any of that I mean don't get me wrong August is nice but she can be a real bitch sometimes. My thoughts were interrupted when Tommy tapped me on the shoulder "Hey I got to go now but I'll speak to you soon?" I nodded and smiled
"Yes sure see you later" I waved as he walked away. Suddenly I felt very lonely and the butterflies in my stomach settled...weird I don't usually feel like this unless...no..no that's just.. do I like Tommy? as in Like, like? Man puberty's a bitch.
