The Bird Scene

He was still on thin ice with Jade. She acted normal enough during school, especially in front of their friends, but when they were alone it was an entirely different story. She shrugged off any and all attempts at affection and refused to kiss him. He was beginning to think she wasn't ever going to forgive him. He hated to admit it, but he was starting to long for the hours they were in school. At least then he could wrap his arm around her or intertwine their hands and she wouldn't pull away with a glare.

He pulled out his phone with a sigh and texted Jade. Maybe she would come over and they could talk this out.

Hey, babe. Wanna come over?

He waited five minutes, then ten.

No.

Of course she wouldn't make this easy. She was Jade West.

Please? I miss you.

This time he didn't have to wait long.

I don't care.

Beck rolled his eyes. He was sick of her blowing him off. If she didn't want to be with him she should just end it because this was torture for him. Then again that might be why she was doing it.

Are you ever going to forgive me?

Does it matter?

Yes.

She didn't bother to respond. The next day at school she acted like it never happened.


Beck ran his hand through his hair as he looked around the Asphalt cafe for Jade. She was no where in sight, so he walked over to Andre and Robbie. He had lost her when they had left Sikowtiz's room. Sitting down he looked at the cup of coffee in his hand that he bought for Jade and took a sip. It was his now. He pulled out his phone and sent a quick text.

Where are you? I got you coffee.

She didn't text him back, so he focused on Andre and Robbie. They were signing up for ballet.


Beck shifted as he felts his pearphone vibrate in his pocket. He knew that Sikowtiz wouldn't care or notice if he pulled it out for a minute, but he hesitates because Jade is leaning against him. She was watching Tori perform the bird scene for the second time. He didn't want to move and risk her moving her chair away from his since he had gone through so much effort to make sure the only chair available to her was the one next to his. The day before she had purposely sat in front of him.

His phone vibrated again and Jade sighed annoyed and reached into his pocket to pull out his phone herself. Sighing, she held out the phone for him. "Just check it already."

It wasn't anything important, so he slipped it back in his pocket. "Just my dad," he whispered in her ear. He wants her to know that it wasn't another girl.


Beck sighed as he drove home. Jade had avoided him all day and let her charade fall slightly to do so. She had even arrived to Sikowtiz's class early and sat in the back corner surrounded by taken chairs. He took the chair across the aisle from her, but he was still upset with the seating. His phone buzzed beside him, but he waited until he was settled in the RV twenty minutes later before opening it.

I'm coming over…I forgive you.

Beck smiled with real happiness for the first time that week.
