School Gym
12:05 p.m.
"Oh how nice of you all to join us," Nikki said to me, Dawn, Tessa, and Payton. "Nikki we're five minutes late," I said. "Every five minutes counts!" she exclaimed. "Yeah okay then. Well we have an announcement," Dawn said. "Oh really. And what would that be?" Nikki asked narrowing her eyes at Dawn.
"We all quit," she replied with a smile. "Hmm I'm not really surprised. You four haven't seemed really committed lately." "Is that so?" Dawn asked. "Yes it is. But don't think you've won. I had a feeling this was going to happen. So I went ahead and found some other girls who are more than willing to take your positions. You haven't won the battle yet Dawn," she said with a smirk.
"What battle?" Dawn asked. "You've always been jealous of me. And you want what I have. That's why you went and stole Jaylee just when we were becoming good friends. uFace it Dawn you want to be me./u You want to be better than me. And the only way to do that is to get rid of me. You've been trying this since freshman year," Nikki explained. "Oh Nik you've got to be kidding me. Are you seriously that psychotic? You really need to get some help. No one wants to be you. And I didn't have to steal Jay. She didn't want to be your friend in the first place. Get over yourself." And with that she walked out the gym doors with Payton, Tessa, and me following.

IDamaged. Damaged. I thought I should let you know. That my heart is Damaged. So Damaged./I "Hullo," I said putting me cellphone to my ear. "Heyyy," Keiara said shakily. "Hey sweetie . How ya holdin up?" I asked entering Iworried best friend mode/I. "You know. I'm okay I guess." "So what happened?" I asked. I heard a ping and walked over to my computer.
GaSP iits NiKKi: Jayy what was up with D at practice today?
DanG iits JayLEE: Nik nows not really the time……
"Well I talked to my parents," she said. "Mhm and what happened?" I asked,
IGasP iits NiKKi: awh come on J. I kno you weren't serious today. Right?
DanG iits JayLEE: Nikki I said now is NOT the time.
DanG iits JayLEE has signed off.
"Well they said they were extremely disappointed in me," she said. I could tell she rolled her eyes. "Is that all?" "Well no," she continued. "They said I was definitely keeping it but I should consider adoption." "Well that's great! Isn't it?" I asked. "Actually yeah. It's wonderful." "Good for you hun," I said with a smile. "Oh sorry Jay I gotta go. Trevor's here. Talk to you later kay?" "Kay. Bye. Call me latter," I said. "Bye. Love you."
I was really happy that Keiara's parents said she was keeping it but I was still scared. This is something really big an life changing. Is she strong enough to handle it? Especially without me.

English III
8:10 a.m.
"Jay are you alright?" Tessa asked looking worried. I guess I understood. I looked horrible. My eyes were definitely bloodshot. "Yeah I'm alright," I said with a big sigh. "You know long weekend." "Right," she said. "Have you called Dawn?" "No. Why?" I asked with a yawn.
"She kept bugging me and Payton about your date. I mean you know how nosy she can be," she said with an eye roll. "Unfortunately," I said lying my head down on my desk. "Sleepy?" she asked with a smile. "Extremely," I replied nodding off. bBAM!/b My head shot up and I looked around the room. I saw Miss McMaster standing in the front of the room. "Miss Wattson so nice of you to pay attention," Miss McMaster said smugly.

Lunch
11:15 a.m.
"Zzzzz." SLAM! Dawn had just dropped her lunch tray on the table. Why was it that today everyone had a problem with me sleeping. "What?" I asked irritably. "You never called me," she said with a pout. "I had more important things to do over the weekend than gossip with you," I explained. "Okay I see how it's gonna be," she said in mock anger. "I don't have the energy to play Dawn. As you can see I'm exhausted. I haven't gotten a wink of sleep all weekend."
"Well why not?" Payton asked. "It's a….family issue," I said laying my head back down. "Is lunch really a good time to sleep?" Tessa asked. "Not really but I was gonna hang out with Jacob a little after school and I don't wanna fall asleep on him," I said. "Ooh la la," Dawn sang. "Be quiet," I said a little irritated. I was obviously a little cranky. "A tad cranky?" Payton asked. Whoa déjà vu. "Just a little," I said. "Can I please get some sleep now?" I asked. "You can try," Dawn replied.

"What are you doing?" I asked giving him a puzzled look. "My homework," he replied with a smirk. "Funny but that's not what I meant and you know it." "Okay well my assignment is to fix this broken transmission," he said. "Yeah how are you gonna fix it if you don't have it?" I asked. "It's in the classroom," he replied rolling his eyes. "Ohh," I said. "Do you even know what a transmission is?" he asked.
"Of course silly!" I exclaimed. "I do have two older brothers," I said. "Really? They fix cars?" he asked. "Well not so much but my dad used to so I know some basic stuff," I explained. "That's surprising," he said more to himself I think. "Thanks a bunch," I replied sarcastically. "Oh my God I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to offend you!" he exclaimed. "Calm down Jake. I was just kidding," I said with a smile and a laugh.

Home
6:15 p.m.
"Hey dad sorry I'm late," I said sliding into my seat. "Hello sweetheart." "Hello Jay," Caroline said. I looked down at my plate and started to eat. "Jay she was speaking to you," he said. "I know," I said. "Please don't start this tonight," he said with a sigh. "Look I don't wanna cause any problems. As long as she doesn't talk to me I'm all good," I explained. "Fine," he said. The rest of dinner was very quiet.

Jaylee's Room
Touch my body. Put me on the floor. Wrestle me around. Play with me some more./I "Yeah," I said answering my phone. "So how was your little date with Jake?" Dawn asked. "Ugh why are you so nosy?" I asked. "I'm not nosy. Just curious," she replied. "Well whatever. But anyway it wasn't a date. We were just hanging out," I said. "Mhm right whatever," she said not believing me. "Good night Dawn," I said with a sigh. "G'night."
