"Done! Thank God, this was taking way too long to finish." Jade exclaims aloud in her empty bedroom.
She stares at her laptop, stares at the document currently opened in Microsoft Word. It's the script she's been working on for the past 5 months and it is finally finished; she considers this her greatest masterpiece.
She quickly saves the document, prints it out and saves it to her external hard drive – ok, she prints out another copy for good measures – in case anything happens to her laptop and the first copy she printed. She safely tucks the second print into her folder and locks it in the safe that is placed at the back of her closet.
She exits her closet and stretches, she had been sitting down for the majority of the day only getting up a few times to use the restroom and to grab something to eat. She stretches her arms out and behind her, arching her back and letting out a comfortable moan as her body cracks in all the right places. "Oh, that feels good," she mutters as she makes her way to her bed and falls face forward.
On her bed she stretches out her legs and ankles, a soft oh coming out as they crack. She turns her head to look at her alarm clock which reads 9:24pm. It was still early, especially for a school night, but she was beat and could hardly keep her eyes open.
She kicks off her boots, takes off her pants and shirt, not even bothering to put on her pajamas and flicks the light off. Her curtains were slightly open and the moon was in view in all its fullness and brightness, she could see all its markings and a few surrounding stars.
She was never one for nature or anything like that, but she could appreciate a beautiful night in an otherwise busy, lit city.
She counts the stars before she slowly and soundly drifts off the sleep.
"JADE, WAKE UP! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"
Jade groans and rolls over in bed to look at her alarm clock which reads 7:45am. She groans even louder as she kicks off her blankets and slowly gets out of bed. She's already going to be late for school so she doesn't even bother hurrying up as she looks for some clean clothes and her boots.
She hears her phone ring from somewhere in her room and she scrambles around looking for it, finally finding it under her shoulder bag that laid in the corner of her room. She picks up her phone and sees a missed call and two text messages from Beck. She reads the text messages, both asking where she was at and if she was coming to school. She quickly types out a response 'Yeah yeah, I'm coming' before she heads to the restroom to brush her teeth and brush her hair.
She heads down stairs, into the kitchen and grabs a banana muffin; she takes a bite of it and puts it back into the basket not liking the mixture of toothpaste and banana. She goes to grab a bottle of water and feels her phone vibrate in her pocket, she pulls it out and reads the new text message from Beck 'oh ok, I'll see you soon.'
She doesn't bother texting him back since she'll be seeing him soon, instead she grabs her keys, wallet and bag and heads out the door. On her way to school she makes a quick stop at the local coffee shop and orders a large black coffee with two sugars; she really can't function without her coffee.
She arrives at school approximately at 9:00am, the first class of the day just ending and all the students heading to their next class. She sips on her coffee and heads to her locker, pulling out a book she needs for her next class.
She stares into her locker and notices everything in it, taking into account everything in it. Three books for her different classes, a plaid shirt she's not sure why it's in there, an empty cup of coffee, three pairs of scissors varying in size, a couple of crumpled papers being smashed by the books, and a notebook she likes to write in. There's not much but she likes the familiarity she feels, it kind of reminds her of her own bedroom.
She's broken out of her thoughts when she feels someone tapping on her shoulder, "What!" She yells as she turns around and glares at whoever is touching her, which happens to be Beck.
"Hey, relax. I was just wondering if you were going to class or if you were just gonna stand there and stare into your locker."
Jade huffs out a loud breath and closes her eyes to gain control over anger. She's not sure where the anger came from or why it came since she was in a particularly good mood earlier, but she just shakes it off and gives Beck a small smile.
"Yeah, I was just… thinking." He smiles at her, wraps his arm around her shoulders and walks with her to their shared class.
The bell rings signaling the end of class and the beginning of lunch time which Jade is glad for because she hasn't ate anything yet and she is quite hungry.
She heads over to the Asphalt Café, to the mobile truck where Festus works and orders herself a slice of vegetarian pizza. Just as she turned away from the truck she crashes into another person, her pizza getting stuck between the two bodies and she falls back with the person landing on top of her.
There was a group around them, all standing, staring and mumbling to each other about what laid before them instead of asking if they were okay or if they need any help.
"What the hell!" Jade yells, her eyes squeezed shut from the pain throbbing at the back of her head. She hears the person groan on top of her and mutter a small sorry as they struggle to get up.
Jade slowly opens her eyes as she recognizes the voice above her and they open wide from shock seeing as her guess was confirmed.
"VEGA! Get off me!" Jade growls out the last part and tries pushing Tori off her but stops and winces as pain shoots through her. Instead she turns slightly to the side and lets the girl roll off her.
They both groan and both lay motionless on the floor until Tori speaks up, "I'm sorry, Jade. I – ugh, I didn't see you there."
"Watch where you're going next time! God, my fucking head hurts." Jade brings both her hands up to the back of her head, cradles it and slowly rubs it up and down, "If I have a fucking concussion, you're staying up with me."
"What! Why? It's not just my fault, you weren't watching where you were going either!" Tori groans out, holding her wrist as she sits up and stares at the girl lying next to her.
"All I'm saying is to expect a visit from me tonight," Jade harshly whispers out. She's still holding her head but manages to sit up as well.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, someone comes to their rescue and that someone being Andre.
"Hey, you guys alright? Word got out that you two had an accident." He's kneeling at Tori's side, holding her now swollen wrist. She winces at his touch and he gives her an apologetic look, "Oh man, I think this might be broken. Let's take you to the nurse's office. Come on, Jade, you too."
Andre helps Tori up then rushes to Jade and helps her up as well and leads them to the nurse's office. On their way to the nurse's, Cat joins them with a worried look on her face, "What happened?"
"They seemed to have gotten into a little accident," Andre replies and chuckles a little but quickly stops when Jade glares at him.
"Oh my gosh, are you guys ok?" Cat squeaks out and then a look of confusion quickly covers her face, "Jade, what is that on your shirt? It looks gross."
Jade looks down, hissing from the pain shooting through her neck she lowly grumbles out, "It's my lunch."
They make it to the nurse's office just as the bell rings signaling the end of lunch, Andre and Cat leave them at the nurse's and head to class after wishing the two girls get well's.
The school nurse attends to them, checks them out and gives Tori a bag of ice for her swollen wrist and Jade a bag of ice for her head.
"Ok, I'm going to call your parents to come pick you up and take you to the hospital so you two can be checked out more properly. Tori, I'm pretty sure your wrist is broken and Jade, I'm pretty sure you have a concussion. So please, have a seat and I'll go call your parents."
Jade turns to Tori and tries to give her a smirk but it comes out weakly as any sort of head movement makes her throb with pain.
"Well, this is going to be fun. Isn't it, Tori? I mean, thank God it's Friday."
A/N: Ok. I wrote like, 3 different plots and I didn't like any of them. Then this one came out and it sucked the least of the rest so I decided to go along with it.
Ugh, I don't even know. Why do I even bother writing? Hahaha, I have a headache.
I already know what the next chapter is going to be like so that should be out soon.
So, if you read it and like it, review! If you read it and don't like it, review!
Also, someone suggested I do a sequel of "What are you thinking about?" on how Jade is doing and if she found someone (they mentioned Cade) so that might be coming out. Should I do a sequel? I already have a clue on how I want it to go, so if any of you want to read that, let me know. :-)
Ok, this A/N is long enough. Hope you enjoy!
