-Jade's POV-
Julia… What do you think of when you hear that name? Some people think a person that loves and is loved by many people. They also say that they are artistic and and are very talented. They're good at expressing themselves to people and aren't afraid to. A person that you can trust with a good secret and is very loveable. Someone who is unique and out there and just loves to stand out in a crowd.
Well, I think of my sister. My little, twelve year old, annoying, know-it-all sister. It was stupid Bring Your Sibling to School day at Hollywood Arts. Leave it to Hollywood Arts to come up with a stupid twist on an old school holiday. You know, Bring Your Child to Work day, can you say lame? So I had no choice to bring my sister, Julia. She thinks she knows everything just because she's really smart.
You see, Julia has skipped just a few grades. Now she goes to this junky high school somewhere in East LA. She's a freshman there and probably the smallest person at that school. I actually kind of feel bad for her because those other punks pick on her for being so much younger than everyone else. Which is stupid because she's only, like, two years younger than all of the other freshman.
I'll admit that I love her though. I think she has an amazing talent, she can act and sing. Julia West. Watch out for that name because it will be famous one day. Of course not as famous as the name Jade West, but you know what I mean. But I wouldn't be caught dead saying this to her. I probably wouldn't even be caught on my death bed telling her that. She will never know from me.
"Jade, thanks for bringing me to school with you today." She told me.
We were sitting in my blue mustang at this dang stoplight that won't turn green already. We were waiting and waiting forever. I'm pretty sure I was on the verge of strangling Julia.
"It's not like I had much of a choice. I would look like a loser for being the only person in the school who brought their sibling."
It looked like I hurt her feelings, but I didn't care that much. Since when do I ever?
"What's the school like?" Julia asked me for the millionth time today "Do I just follow you around all day?"
"No."
"Well what do I do then?"
"You see," I turned towards her "I have this thing called talent. It's why I go to Hollywood Arts. Because it's a school for the talented. So the teacher's will ask you to show off whatever talent you may or may not have."
The light finally turned green after such a long time of waiting. Julia kept asking me a whole bunch of random questions about how everyone was there. I was so tempted to throw myself out of the car out of desperation. I wanted to kill myself right then and there. For a smart kid, this chick was pretty dumb. She didn't know squat about Hollywood Arts, she won't last two minutes in this school. Sikowitz will have her crying by first period. He has a way of doing that with Cat, maybe he could do the same with Julia.
Julia has only ever met Cat once when she was a little baby. Even than, Cat didn't have red hair, she had frizzy brown hair. It looked like a hair bomb exploded on top of her head back then. Oh God, I loved making fun of that head of hair. Well, anyway, she has never met any of the other raving lunatics I call friends. She's met Beck though. I try to keep them away from each other because it's obvious how gaga she gets over him. It kind of reminded me of, well, me four years ago.
We finally arrived at school about fifteen minutes later. The whole entire school was littered with teenagers singing and dancing, as always. Standing beside almost everybody who was singing and/or dancing was a confused looking kid, not as always.
"Oh wow! This place is absolutely amazing! Jade, you go to school here? It looks more like a giant playground!"
"Don't say that. Don't… ever say that. This is a place of major seriousness."
Just as I said this, Robbie walked past me with that stupid puppet of his. Of course.
"Oh yeah, everyone here is just as stuck up as you are."
