Well hey! Names Ivey. This is my first story with chapters that I'm posting on here. Yaaaay! -throws confetti- it's a fiction of a picture that I asked my friend to draw for me ^^ it inspired me to write this. So here is Chapter one! 3 enjoy it :D
Walking through the halls of this school is a drag. I walk too fast so i run into people and leave my friends behind. I'm always in my class two minutes early. I'm almost a school goody-goody. I do my homework, I'm quite, i don't back talk, and i do my work when told. It's the second period of the day, science. This class is such a bore. The teacher just talks and doesn't do anything interesting. I begin to drift off to my own personal land.
I'm walking through trees. Birds singing and all is peaceful. I sit in an open area on a hill. I find my ipod and turn it on. The first things that i hear when i push the ear buds into my ears is Slipknot, Pulse Of The Maggots. I sit there humming and swaying my head back and forth. I feel as though someone is nearing me. I turn my music down but keep doing what i was. I hear a twig snap and jump up. It's Jace, my secret crush and my best guy friend.
'Well hello dear Jade. What are you doing out here alone?'
'Just letting nature get the best of me.'
'Nature is the most soothing of all places. Too bad our kind is destroying so much of it.'
'It's a shame. It's too beautiful to give up.'
He comes and stands next to me.
'Jade, I-'
BRRIIIIIING! The bell brings me out of my day dream. Pity, it was a good one this time. I grab my things and throw them on top of my note book. I'll put them in my binder in art. I walk in there early as always. We have a substitute today. Never bothers me. I peak out the door from mt seat. I see Jace high-fiveing his friends and laughing. He says bye and walks in. I begin to do as the board says.
'-Draw an animal
-Draw your best friend
-Draw your idol
-Draw your favorite bands logo
-On another sheet of paper, combine them.'
I draw a leopard as my animal. I like all kinda of cats but the leopard out of all the big cats is my most favorite. I think about my best friend for a while. There's Emi, then there's Jace. I decide to combine them. Jace's face but more feminine. It takes me a while to draw though. Combining two different sexes is slightly difficult. I look at the clock. Why does this class go the slowest, thirty-five minutes left. Jace finally comes to sit down after talking to more of his bud's in this art class. He just has to sit next to me.
'Hey. You're half way through already? You work quickly.'
'I'm just focused. I just kind of know what I'm going to draw before i do it.'
'You've become distant from me lately. Why?'
'It's more difficult to explain than you know, Jace.'
I look down and realize I've been drawing Andy Six the entire time i was talking to Jace. It doesn't look half bad. I think i stopped listening to Jace when i started drawing the BVB star logo. He puts his hand on mine. I cover my face with my hair and blush.
'Jade, I'm worried about you. I'm worried about our friendship. Did i do something to offend you?'
'No, Jace. I told you, it's hard to explain. I'm sorry that you feel we're drifting but I'm not right in my mind right now. There's a lot going through it.'
'You do know that if you need someone I'm here, right?'
'Yeah. Yeah I know. You tell me every time you're worried about me.'
He takes his hand off of mine. Goodbye warmth. I begin to combine my drawings. I make it one whole person. Andy Six's body, Jace's face with a slight hint of Andy, leopard ears and tail, and it's holding the star. I was impressed with myself. I decide, since i have fifteen more minutes left, to draw a background. Big fluffy white clouds, beautiful blue sky, and that hill i day dreamed about. I really don't want to turn this in but i have to or i get a zero. I hand it to the substitute.
'This is amazing.'
'Thanks' I mumble.
I sit back down a lay my head on my arms on top of the table. It seems like this class never ends.
'Jade, why wont you tell me anything anymore? You know I'm understanding and I'm always here for you.'
He puts his hand on my shoulder and gets up. A minute later he sits back down.
'Talk to me Jade. I'm worried.'
The bell rings and i quickly jump up and leave. I can tell he looks down and feels like he did something wrong. I'm practically running through the halls.
'Hey!' A cheery voice says.
'Yes Amelia?'
'Why the down face?'
I push past her.
'I don't have time to explain.'
I begin to walk to my fourth period class. I stop in the girls bathroom that i know is always empty. I sit in one of the stalls and begin to cry. How can i push Amelia away? How could i not talk to Jace? I'm such a fool. I put my head against the wall and cry. I switch positions every now and again. I need to stop crying. I get up and force myself not to cry. I walk to English class.
'Jade! You're never late.' My teacher addresses me.
'Sorry. I had some issues to take care of.'
'It's fine. I'll let it slip this time.'
I thank her and take my seat. I spent twenty five minutes in the bathroom. I catch on to what we're doing pretty quickly and still finish my work on time even the homework. Fifth period was nothing special as was sixth. Seventh made my day though. My history teacher is fun and is fun to talk to. Jace tries to talk to me again since he knows this teacher lightens my mood.
'So about earlier..can you actually talk to me now?'
'Jace, can you just leave it alone. I told you it's harder to explain than you think.'
'In that case, can i come over after school today? I'd love to hang out with you again.'
'Sure. We can walk home together.'
'Cool. Meet you at the doors?'
'Yeah.'
I 'm done with everything we had to do that day. I keep the homework so i had something to do at home. I walk up to Miss Carter.
'Can i talk to you? You're really the only teacher i trust to talk to.'
'Yeah! Go ahead. I'll be happy to help.'
'Well..I'm having guy issues. I'm kind of in love with my best guy friend and I'm kind of drifting away from him because of it. I'm scared to tell him. I don't want to ruin our friendship.'
'Give it some time. He may end up liking you as well. Don't be scared to admit what you feel some times. You could really be missing out, you know. A beautiful girl such as you should have no problem getting a handsome and loving guy.'
'Thanks Miss Carter.'
She's nods with a smile on her face. I sit back down and draw. Stars, Andy Six, Sandra, Jace and myself. I have no idea why but it just came out of my mind this way. The bell rings.
'Come on, Jade! I can't wait to hang out with you again!'
'I'm coming, Jace!'
I run to the usual doors that we used when we hung out a lot. Maybe this will be a fun afternoon. I smile towards Jace and he smiles back. It's nice to see that smile again.
