(Jade's POV – chapter 2)

I was sound asleep waiting for tomorrow; the first day in Hollywood arts, when my pear phone started blinking. I had gotten a text message from Cat. I saw the time and it read 5:24. Why the hell did Cat send me a text message when she knew I was probably asleep even though I am an early riser?I decided to read and respond to Cat's text so she would stop sending them 5 to 5 minutes until I replied back.

Heeey Jadey! I can't wait for today! :)

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?! AND WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THOSE CREEPY SMILES?

It's 5:26. Doesn't your pear phone have time? I like the smiles :)

It does Cat and I was supposed to be sleeping.

Sorry Jadey :'( Are you mad at me?

No Cat. I'm not.

Jadey can I go to your house? My brother has my car. :(

Fine. I expect you here by 6 AM. See you later Cat. I'm going to go sleep for a while and lazily get out of bed to get dressed.

Bye Jadey! I'm so excited :D

For the first day at Hollywood Arts, I decided to wear a black long sleeved shirt with some black jeans and my red combat boots. Over the summer I and Cat had a makeover. My wardrobe was full with black, red and purple clothes and shoes. I had done an eyebrow and nose piercing and streaked my hair in multiple colours, but still had my chestnut brown hair. My parents used to punish me but they eventually got used to it because I was too stubborn to be "normal". Cat also had a sort of makeover. She straightened her hair a dyed it in a red velvet colour. It suited her, but I also liked her brown frizzy hair. Her wardrobe didn't change much because she liked the girly pink frilly shit I hated. But I managed to convince her to get a few mature pieces of clothing like what heels suited her more and what dress fitted her better etc. The point is that we changed to what we wanted to be.

It was 6:30 and Cat still hadn't arrived. She must have fallen asleep or something. Hollywood arts didn't open for until 8Am so I decided to take a small nap until Cat arrived. For my luck, as soon as I sat down, who else to ring the doorbell but Cat. I stomped downstairs and opened the door to stop the annoying ringing.

"Hey Jadey! I'm sorry I'm late but my brother didn't want me to go away."

"It's fine Cat." I said looking at her. "Come inside to eat breakfast. You look like you're starving." People often described me as a mean girl but they didn't know how I was around Cat. She was the only one to stay with me so the least I could do is stay by her side. Cat knew me and understood my reasons for what the hell I do. She knows about my problems but doesn't address them every second because she knows it hurts my feelings. Yes by the way, I do have feelings. She tries her best to ignore the elephant in the room but sometimes it just slips. I told her its fine as long as she doesn't remind me every single fucking second about that. Sometimes I worry about this girl.

Cat came inside and we ate coco puffs. I knew it was Cat's favorite cereal. An hour later we decided to leave my house and go start our first day at Hollywood arts. On the way I found a coffee shop called Jet Brew. I grabbed Cat's wrist and went inside the coffee shop. It smelled like coffee (obviously). I asked my usual order; black with two sugars and the lady instantly gave it to me. I didn't tip her because I didn't feel like it and because she was wearing a yellow t-shirt. I hate yellow. Cat wanted me to buy her a coffee but I refused to buy her any sort or type because she is energetic enough. I sipped my coffee and smiled. I love coffee. If I could I would marry coffee.

We exited the Jet brew and walked to Hollywood arts. I have to admit I was sort of nervous. Cat was jumping around a bit too excitedly. I think she drank a bit of my coffee when I wasn't looking. I saw a bunch of kids walking inside the school. They seemed happy, exited, nervous and anxious. I grabbed Cat's arm and went inside the school. It was going to be a long year.
