Because Jay was 16 then, he only got juvie, he's been caught once when he was 13 so it didn't look good that he was STILL doing it, he got 12 months.
It's been a year now, and he was out, he was waiting for school to start again as he got his own apartment since his mother claimed him to be the evil spawn of his father.
The day had come, and Jay was excited to see his friends again. He was a bit more taller and lean, he got to work out a bit in juvie, there wasn't much else to do. He was 17 now, and he looked older, more mature. His brown shaggy hair was now cut short but he still sometimes wore his hat, but don't worry, he knew his baggy jeans and chain necklace weren't 'in' anymore, so stuck with regular blue jeans and a black V shirt that made his arm muscles pop out a bit more, and the only thing that seemed the same were his bright blue eyes and devilish smirk, don't forget the bad boy vibe.
He walked down the halls as he tried to hide his smirk, girls whispered and giggled together, it wasn't a secret he was a charmer with them though tore their hearts right after.
It's been a year though, maybe he was different?
Maybe not.
Jay looked through his phone, what girl shall he call first? Amy, Manny, Alex? Jay bumped into something and went to glare.
The person almost shook in fear, Jay Hogart was BACK?
"J-Jay." Jt stuttered, "Nice to see you again, how was.. vacation?" he joked, trying to calm Jay down and maybe crack a smile. Hey,maybe the guy changed? No. We went over this.
"Run." Jay informed, giving JT a head start who yelped and ran.
"nice." A soft female voice as Jay smirked, watching JT run for his life
Still got it.
"Your still the same.." the voice added. Jay looked to the speaker and stopped smirking to stare a bit, like he was hypnotized.
Emma Nelson.
Same long blonde hair, only now she had side bangs, and wearing clothes that weren't covering any daring parts of her party. She showed off proudly. She had long tanned legs with her jean mini skirt and a white tank top that showed off a little of that toned little stomach and smooth arms that hugged a science and math book.
Jay grinned, she was still the same too. The hot nerd.
He stood proudly in the middle of the hallway with her, as people passed, watching.
"Miss me?" he taunted Emma who laughed bitterly and then he saw her actually think about it.
"Actually, kinda brings back a bit of normal." She admits, looking around the hall.
Jay raised an eyebrow, not completely getting it but a little amused she kind of admitted she did miss him. He smirked, "What's your schedule like Greenpeace?"
Ah, the old nickname.
"No doubt somewhat like yours since you failed due to your little 'stunt' at the mall that we all heard about, the 'legend'." She taunts, beginning to walk off when she rolled her pretty brown eyes
Jay couldn't help it, he followed after her, "Catch me up, what's with the new teachers? Where's my good ol buddies? And when did you get so hot?" he smirked playfully, blocking her path.
"Please." Emma snickered, for two reasons. She's always been hot, just because she wasn't into showing off her once flat chest a year ago, didn't mean she wasn't cute then. And two, because he did not stand a chance with that attitude and history of cheating of his.
Jay's eyebrows furrowed. Girls did not say no to Jay Hogart. What the hell!
Emma just went on, "And the new teacher thing? Some new thing Raditch came up with after your stunt was pulled, needed more 'strict' teachers and has parent conferences every other week so their kids don't end up like you" she smirked playfully.
She did NOT just tease him flirtingly, did she? Ugh, it was no secret Jay Hogart was hot as fuc- GOOD looking, but she did not fall for his lying cheating ways. He was bad, bad!
"No one can be me, I'm one of a kind." He joked.
Emma rolled her eyes but cracked a smile as she crossed her arms, "As for your friends?" she asks while raising an eyebrow and sighed deeply, "I don't know what to tell you.." she drifted off, her eyes looking a little distant.
Jay gave a bit of a confused look. What'd she mean by that?
The bell rang, and Emma watched people pass and eyed Jay curiously, he looked back down at her with a bit of a grin.
"Your going to be late just for me, Greenpeace?" he said it as if truly moved by the motion.
"No." Emma declared, shaking her head, "Just wondering how long it's going to take until you realize what's going on." She said and with that, walked off.
Jay watched her go, yes, he glanced a bit at her ass for a second but then watched her. He then paused, what'd she mean by that?
He headed for class.
"Hey Hogart." Smiled Darcy Edwards, a young cheerleader who remembered Jay from her freshman days.
He just proudly walked by and sat in the back, waiting for his friends. That's when Craig came in. He grew up a bit and was taller, he lost his leather jacket which Jay had thought he'd never but hey, it's been a while.
He looked simple actually, an average guy, and was walking with Jimmy Brookes, a basketball star. What the hell?
He then noticed Jay and grinned, "Friend!" he announced, going over.
Jay raised an eyebrow, friend? But he stood and they had a manly hug, it's been a year! He missed em.
"how are you?" Craig asked him.
Jay shrugged with a smirk, "nothing I couldn't take. What's new with you?" he asked.
Craig sighed, shaking his head rather happily, "Everything my man, I need to catch you up, introduce you to my friends. You'll never get into trouble again, I promise you."
Jay laughed a bit uncomfortably, from behind Craig, he saw Emma come in and notice them, giving Jay a look and sitting in the middle of glass beside Manny Santos.
They were friends now?
And what was with the reformed Craig Mannings?
Jay decided to change the subject, nodding toward Manny, "Still into that one?" he asked.
Craig shook his head no, "Her desperate seeking ways is almost sad for me to watch, I feel bad for her she's so promiscuous and maybe one day could like her again if she just straightened up and maybe came to me for help so she can change? But for now, she's just going down the wrong path..." his eyes narrowed at Manny Santos.
"Isn't that what you use to love about her?" taunted Jay, giving Craig an insane look.
From near the front, Emma couldn't help but to glance back at Craig and Jay. Poor Jay... his friend was long gone. He was in for a suprize. She tilted her head curiously at Jay, he still had the bad boy act but he looked more mature and grown up.
She then coughed and turned to Manny who was grinning, "Your drooling." Manny informed with a smirk, Emma glared but cracked a smile and blushed.
"Craig!" called Jimmy, going over to Jay and him, Jay clenched his jaw, he hated this guy, always started fights, specially with Sean. Where was Sean? He'd NEVER change on him.
Craig turned to Jimmy who held a blue jacket and offered it to him, he wore one himself, it was a basketball jock jersey jacket. So cliché.
"Here's your jacket, I'm going to go sit with our friends." He gave Jay a hardened look who just snickered and watched him go.
"Don't mind him, he'll see you can be one of us rather soon." Craig said with a creepy smile and pointed right to the front of class, "Come. Sit with us?"
Jay shook his head, "I'm gonna pass..." he drifts awkwardly, looking at Emma, "Told her I'd go sit next to her."
"Jay I hope your not the same ol womanizer you use to be." Craig said, rather upset now.
Jay raised an eyebrow.
Craig went on, "There's tons of evil in it, pregnancy, STD'S.."
Jay couldn't handle it anymore, "I just need her to catch up on notes, she's a smart girl." He went around Craig rolling his eyes and went to Emma.
Emma looked beside her when Jay sat beside her, a little baffled looking.
He then looked back at her.
"Just wondering how long it'll take you to realize what's going on." Her voice taunted him from before.
"What?" Emma asked and he shrugged to then gaze at the teacher who started the lesson, he tapped his pencil rather boredly and Emma smiled, same ol' Jay.
Her, Jay and Manny sat on a bench outside the school at lunch, it was a wierd picture, the slut of girl who sat on the seat with good girl Emma, Jay sitting on the other side and leaning on the table across from them, the big bad boy.
They watched the jocks coming outside, joining their cheerleaders.
"So Craig has changed.." drifts Jay, nodding slowly and trying to understand that, "But..atleast Jimmy's still the same basketball faggot captain."
Manny snickered, crossing her legs and noted, "Not captain anymore."
Jay looked around, where the hell were his friends? Maybe they dropped out.. Sean wouldn't be suprizing, or Alex. Maybe Ellie graduated with Spin?
"Can anything get more suprizing?" Jay said with a scoff and Emma looked over her shoulder to him.
"Yeah, actually." She informed, nodding to the doors where more jocks came out.
There, came out Sean in a basketball jacket, looking preppy and arm over a red headed cheerleader. .OH MY GOD. Ellie, and bouncing to the left like a weirdo girly girl was Alex.
Jay sat up straight, looking on in horror.
Manny and Emma shared a look as Manny got up and slowly left, she hated being around them. They were...creepy.
Jay shook his head, was he seeing right!
"Freak show right?" came a voice and a figure sat on their bench.
Jay looked up and stood up, Spinner, and the SAME ol' Spinner, thank god. He still had his ear peircings and crazy bleeched hair, wearing a baggy brown jacket as he smoked a joint.
"Spin.." breathed Jay, clapping his hand into his and hugging. Spinner happily passed the joint that Jay happily puffed deeply. He needed that.
Spinner looked to Emma while explaining to Jay, "you leave, and it was like the world fell apart." He joked yet was serious, "Alex was first to go, we thought she just didn't know where she belonged without you. Then Ellie.." drifts Spinner, eyeing the group now in disgust, "Then.."
"Sean." Jay said for him, watching his old best friend passing a basketball to Jimmy and Craig and grinning like a mad man from the 60's. Too happy...too fake.
"They all seemed to just wanna be good." Emma joked, standing up beside them, "Perfect, actually." She informed with a frown.
Jay smirked watching her, "Jealous they're on your 'goody two shoe' boat now?"
Emma rolled her eyes to him, and Spinner spoke for her, "Emma's not the lead nerd anymore, Alex gives her a run for her money, doing bake sells, setting up school dances, starting school clubs."
Jay couldn't do this, he took another puff of the joke and Emma grabbed it, tossing it away. Jay would usually bitch but he grinned, "At least she's still the same greenpeace though. Don't worry, I'm a fan of environment too, love it!" He insists, lifting his hands up in defeat and added, "I love grass." He teased.
Emma laughed and replied, "Yea, burning it.. not so loving." With that, she left. Spinner smirked watching Jay watch her go.
"You crushing on Emma Nelson man?" Spinner taunted, nudging Jay's arm who snapped back to him.
"No." He snickered, looking a bit caught and clenched his jaw.
Spinner shrugged, "Man it's alright, she's always been hot.. she's pretty cool."
"you hang out with her?" Jay asked a bit jealously. Since when would Emma give him or his kind of friends the time of day?
Spinner looked back over to their old friends, "Who else am I suppose to hangout with? Emma also knows what their like now too, since they stole her spot as favorite students.."
Jay looked back at his old friends, frowning deeply. Something was defiantly wrong..and what kind of robot would know how to out smart Emma Nelson?
Sean caught his look and the two shared a blank stare before Sean just turned, and Jay bit the end of his tounge.
Definatly very wrong.
