3rd of January 2007,

Four months had passed since Beck and Jade had first met, and he still couldn't take a hint. He would say 'hello' to her as they passed each other in the hallway, try and help her with her bag, and staring at her as she performed with his stupid brown eyes- just screwing with her focus and making her mess up her lines.

His hair had grown longer, now flapping wildly over his forehead as he ran around school, he was always hanging with that musical kid, Andre Harris, they made friends the first week he was here, and Jade was glad, because that meant he might spare her his company.

Jade, however, had another dilemma to face. A ditzy annoyingly cheerful curly haired girl who went by the name of Cat, she would follow Jade around like a puppy- and Jade hated puppies, they were clingy and annoying.

"So after school I was thinking we could go to avenue BBQ" Cat said in her unusually joyful tone.

"No" Jade screamed.

"Please" she edged on, and Jade knew she wouldn't stop pleading all day, so she decided to spare herself and just said "fine"

"Yay" the tiny girl rejoiced.

Truth be told, Jade didn't mind hanging out with Cat. Sure she was ditzy and annoying, but watching her make a fool out of herself was amusing at times. That night they would go to a BBQ place, which meant, open flame and Cat. Something hilarious was bound to happen.

Half an hour later, school was over and Jade walked over to her bicycle, she was almost out of Campus when the wheels caught on something, sending her flying forward. She fell face first onto the ground, her lips hitting the pavement. Her eyes watered subconciously from the stinging in her lips as droplets of blood fell down her chin.

"Are you okay?" she heard a familiar voice say.

"Ugh"

Beck came closer and she moved her head to the side, wishing he would see the tears of pain that were rolling down her cheek. One by one, the entire campus had taken notice and were walking over to her.

No walk away, she wanted to scream, but Beck had gotten there first and he lifted her up slightly.

Jade's lips had swollen to the size of Wisconsin, which was a lously state in her opinion. As more people huddled around them, Beck started wiping her lips with the sleeve of his flannel shirt, bringing more tears to her eyes.

"I don't need any help" she said stubbornly, but she didn't move, his touch felt nice and safe.

"Teacher coming through, watch out" Sikowitz's voice rang as he broke through the group of bystanders. He was by far the craziest person Jade had ever met, including Cat, nevertheless, he was propably the coolest teacher she had ever met.

The bare footed acting teacher came closer and simple said

"That is one huge lip, you should keep doing that" he pointed to Beck, both he and Jade rolled their eyes.

"Um, I have aniseptic lotion"

A skinny kid with a fro and glasses approached with a tiny bottle in his hand. Beck smiled, reaching out of the medecine

"Thanks, um…"

"Robbie"

Beck cleaned her wound throughly, and she found herself whispering "Thank you"

Then he flashed her a beautiful smile and she knew she was a goner.
