Chapter 1- Life As Usual, Right?

*Jade White's POV*

Hey, I'm Jade, Jae for short. I'm not really the type of person everyone wanted to be around. I understand that perfectly, I mean I don't exactly look like a swan out of a group of ducks. And yeah, you guessed it, I'm a punk-rock type of girl. As in I wear band tees to school, skinny jeans, fringed hairstyle with random blonde streaks in 'em, you know the type. As for my family? No, I'm not poor as fuck, nor am I rich as fuck…I think. See, my dad owns this record company called Hopeless Records. And my mom's brother owns this record company called Decaydance. So yeah we live in a shmancy-fancy three story house with an indoor pool located in the rich side of town, but I honestly don't care about that.

So, it's the first day of Junior year. And I am more excited than a 7-year-old opening presents on Christmas morning. I HOPE YOU HAVE A SENSE OF SARCASM, I DESPERATELY HOPE YOU DO.

"Dan, what the fuck? I hate you! Don't ever talk to me again!" My dreaming self screamed to a blurry blob who's name apparently is Dan. Then without warning my alarm went off, signaling that it's an hour and a half before I need to go to the hell hole known as school. I swear I prefer having more weird non understandable dreams about people I don't even know all day than going to school. But of course, I have no choice.

1st order of business, text Katie.

To: Katie "Kay" Nichols

From: Jade "Jae" White

Dude, WAKE THE FUCK UP AND GET YOUR SKINNY ASS OVER HERE! xx :)

Mhm, you guess it Katie's my best friend.

2nd order of business, bug Matt for some breakfast.

When you walk into your 21-year-old brother's room, you do not expect to see Legally Blonde paused on his TV screen, you just don't. But guess what I found? Yep, a naked Matt and Elle Woods frozen on TV. Sisterly instinct took it's toll.

"YOU LAZY GOOD FOR NOTHING WASTE OF SPACE! GET THE FUCK DOWN AND COOK ME SOME WAFFLES!" I yelled, and added "pretty please with a cherry on top? Ohh! And same goes with the waffles! Thanks bro, love ya!"

"Ugh, do you have to be so loud? Get mom to make you breakfast" A sleepy Matt mumbled, of course forgetting our mom left for New York last night with dad for some business trip.

"How is mom gonna give me the waffles hot shot?" I said giggling at my brother's lack of awareness.

"Fine, but you're making breakfast tomorrow" he said while getting out of bed.

3rd order of business, get ready and not eat the breakfast Matt had made for me to piss him off. Usually I'm not this bitchy, but it's 1st day of classes, I'm in a bitchy mood.

I got in the shower with a towel and a change of clothes, that consisted of undies, a black tank top, a thin long-sleeved shirt, blue skinny jeans and my favorite black Converse. Once the hot water hit my back, I never wanted to get out. I was seriously considering choosing a long soothing shower over being early to class and not draw any attention to myself. I was about halfway through when my phone buzzed, probably Katie. Which meant I had to do my hair and make-up in 20 minutes, great.

I hopped out of the shower, got dressed and switched on my hair iron thing and plugged in my hair dryer.

"Magic" I said to my reflection just above a whisper, as I finished up my make-up with 5 minutes to spare.

I ran down our main staircase which was basically just one over- exaggerated spiral wooden set of stairs, when I got down, I saw Matt only made breakfast for himself. Huh, I guess he knows me better than I give him credit for.

"Bye, Jae!" Matt yelled as I was about to walk out the door.

"Huh? Uh, Yeah! Bye bro!" I yelled back.

About 30 seconds later, I saw Katie's black Chevy make a turn to my block. She didn't even bother pulling her car into the curb 'cause as soon as she stopped I hopped in.

When I got in I saw my brunette friend in her usual outfit, a white off-shoulder top, black skinny jeans with random rips in them and her mid-calf high boots and her long, curly hair was swept to the side by a side braid.

The drive to school was quiet, except for occasional small talks about how our day yesterday went. That was the only day we didn't spend the entire day together 'cause we decided we'd prep for school faster apart.

"Oh, Tay texted me last night" Katie suddenly announced as we were getting out of her car.

Taylor Park was our other best friend who spent the summer over at Australia with her grandparents.

"Yeah? That's awesome! She's back?" I said, interested.

"Mhm! And she sent me this!" Kay said in a mocking-singsong voice. Then shoved her phone into my hands.

My eyes widened when I saw my once blonde friend was now a redhead. I was surprised not because the change was dramatic, I was more surprised that it suited her better than her old hair color, honestly.

"OH MY GOD! SHE'S A FUCKING REDHEAD!" I screamed.

"Yeahhh, but-" I stopped Katie at mid sentence. "But what? She's a fucking redhead and there are buts?" I excitedly said, so obviously it didn't make sense.

"Yes, there's a but. Now as I was saying, but look at who's beside her" She said with slight irritation at my shock.

So I glanced at the boy who had both his arms wrapped around Tay's chest and pulling her close to his side, and I shuddered. I desperately fought back tears as I saw the boy. I was speechless.

"Jealous are we?" Playfulness playing in Kay's voice. I wanted to punch her, she should've known better.

Tay stole him. She knew I still loved him. She knew we still had something left in us. And she stole him. I was burning with anger, jealousy but mostly because I felt so betrayed by my own best friend.

Just as I was about to break down and cry, they walked up to us. The newest bitch in my life and the still love of my life.

Miss insensitive bitch was looking sluttier than ever. She was wearing a hot pink top that barely even reached her belly button, over that she had a gray cardigan, unbuttoned of course and acid washed short-shorts plus her ever so appropriate 100000000 inch heels.

But as I looked to her side, he was still the same boy I fell in love with since I was in 3rd grade. The same perfectly messed up hairstyle. The same grey, blue-green eyes that always seem to have a look on innocence in them. The same genuine smile when our eyes meet. The same red lips that were never dried out. The same way his hands frequently touch his hair at the most awkward times. He was just the same.

He was wearing a red hoodie over a V-neck plain white shirt that hugged his body loosely, grey skinny jeans and black Nikes. Typical.

"Hey guys!" The bitch said with obviously fake enthusiasm. Then she turned to me and said "Hey Jade!" It said with more fake enthusiasm and a stupid smirk on her fake face.

I tried to mask my anger. "Hey" was all I said, and I still failed miserably.

"Hey, Jae you alright?" Jordan says. He had this look of regret and concern and something else I couldn't read. It brought me close to tears, again.

I couldn't even look him in the eyes, much less muster a sound. I felt so helpless to what was going on, even worse I don't even know what's going on. Everyone and everything seems to be turning on me. I wanted to run, to where? I don't know. I just didn't want to be here.

The second I felt that my cheeks were wet, something in me broke and I ran as if I were being chased by rabid wolves. I don't know where I'm headed, I honestly don't even care.

After what seemed to be an hour of running, I found myself under the oak tree where I'd first saw Jordan, it was also where we 1st became friends.

*Flashback*

"Take care Jadie!" Matt yelled.

"I will Matty Watty!" I called back excitedly.

I was gonna meet with Katie and her sister to go to a party at the park. I was a little over excited and arrived half an hour early. So I sat under the biggest oak tree there and took out my coloring book and crayons from my backpack, when my favorite sparkly pink crayon rolled away without my notice.

When a little lanky boy came up to me holding my pink crayon came up to me, tapped my shoulder and as soon as I looked up at him, he pretended to snap the crayon in half. Earning a loud shriek from me. And then he dropped to the floor laughing. I started crying, and I was surprised when he stopped laughing and then I felt a comforting voice saying "Hey, I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry." He said shyly. Then he reached out his hand out to me.

"Hi, I'm Jordan! Let's be friends!" He said more confidently. It rubbed off on me and I stopped crying.

I took his hand and shook it and said "Hey I'm Jade" I said shyly but with a smile.

And from there on we were like hot chocolate and marshmallows in winter.

*Flashback End*

I've had just enough, I sat down and wrapped my arms around me knees and hugged them to my chest and started sobbing, which eventually turned into full on waterworks.

It's just amazing how my mood dropped so quickly. Don't ya just love it when you feel like you're being torn in half.
