And thirteen year old Jadelyn stood silently in the line, with a look that could kill, waiting to see where she'd be seated in the new classroom. The line slowly got smaller and smaller as it decreased right down to the end, which was Jade, as she liked to be called.

"Jadelyn," Her teacher, a wacky looking man called Sikowitz, called out. "You can go sit next to Caterina Valentine."

"It's Jade, idiot." She muttered under her breath. She walked to the desk and sat down silently.

"Hi!" The over excitable girl next to her said. "My names Caterina, but you can call me Cat."

"Jade's the name," She said with a smirk on her face. "Pains the game." Cat's mouth formed an "o" shape and she bit her cherry colored lip.

"Sorry?" She asked, thinking she'd misheard.

"I said, Jade's the name, pains the game." She smiled menacingly and put her hand out. Cat's smile returned and she shook Jade's hand without hesitation. Jade's smile faltered and her eyebrow rose as she whipped her hand away in disgust and pure shock.

"What?" Cat asked, offended.

"You didn't ignore me or be mean."

"No…"

"Why?"

"You haven't done anything to me. I want to be your friend."

"Oh." Jade said in defeat. She just could get the girl to take the insult to heart!

"So, will you be my friend?"

"No."

"Why?"

"You're annoying."

"Oh." Cat slinked off to her side of the desk and colored in her unicorn picture. Something about her innocent face peeking at her from the other side of the desk made Jade think about maybe talking to her.

Jade sighed. Apologizing had never been Jade's strong point. "Cat," The pale girl snapped. "Do you want to borrow my glitter pens for your unicorn?" She offered reluctantly, digging in her bag under the desk for the pens her mother insisted she brought. In case you make a friend and want to color, she'd said. Jade scoffed and put them in the bin, but her mother had put them in and told her to take them.

Cat's eyes lit up and she nodded enthusiastically. "I'd love to!" Jade handed over the never before opened packet of pens and watched the girl, smile dressed with a dimple, stare at the packet in awe.

"Sparkly!" She cried, happy. "That's what my unicorn will be called. Sparkles."

"Oh good," Jade replied.

Cat beamed. Even though the answer was short and not even that nice, it made cat feel special that Jade was nice to her, and no one else in the class. At the end of class, which by the end of, they'd done nothing still, Cat and Jade walked home. "Would you like to come to my house?" Cat said, smiling at Jade.

"Why not?" Jade replied with a hint of a smile pressed on her lips.

Once they'd gotten half way to Cat's house Cat asked Jade a question.

"Why did you choose to be friends with me?" She asked, considering herself a friend now. To her shock Jade didn't disagree.

"You amaze me sometimes, that's why."

"How do I amaze you?" Cat pushed on, perplexed. She didn't find herself particularly out of the ordinary.

"You're as random as a chameleon on a rainbow and you've got a grin wider than the Cheshire cat's, that's how."
