-VEGA
"Jade are you going to your locker?" I asked, "Oh no im just going to Sikowitz class without taking out my books that's all" well that was a stupid question, I thought to myself.
"Let's go to the café tonight" I watched her expression and I saw her arch an eyebrow, "What why?" she asked as she turn her attention to me, "So we can study about the assignment together, you said you needed help right?" she nodded, "Yeah but why the café?"
"Cause my parents are home tonight and it's not going to take long so…" she's not looking at me but after taking out her books from her locker, she closed it and turned her attention to me.
"Think of it this way Vega… They'll be tons of stupid losers hanging out in the café acting like some kind of teenage thugs and I don't want to work on an assignment with those kinds of people around me… Got it?"
"But where will we-"
"My house six thirty sharp don't be late"
She left me standing beside her locker dumb-founded. I felt nervous all of a sudden. 'You're just going to her house to help her with the assignment that's all and it's not going to take long so chill' I said before taking a huge breath. I got this… It's just Jade.
"Hey little sister what are you standing there for? You know Jade won't-" I quickly covered her mouth with my left hand to prevent her from talking any further, "Speak another word and I swear you'll never see your brand new boots in your room" I removed my hand off of her mouth, "Calm down sis she's not here anyway. So what's up?" she asked, "What do you mean what's up?"
"Did you asked her to go to the café with you?" I forgot that it is one of her ideas, "Yeah but she said I should just go to her house tonight… I think I made it worse"
"Are you kidding? That's even better" she squealed but I don't feel a bit better about it, "Well I know it is but I don't know how to keep myself sane!" I blurted. I didn't know that it'll go this far, "Relax she won't eat you sistah. So did you found out who gave you that letter the other day?"
"Ugh nope but I really really want to know you know?" I frowned, "I want to know who he is too like what kind of a dumb person would say that to you right? You look like a dork with your red glasses" I left her standing in front of Jade's locker while heading to my next class which is arts.
Ding Dong there it goes… the sound to my doom. It's probably the last doorbell that I'll hear when im still alive… Or sane and before I die tonight I just want to say that I still find sinjin weird and Trina annoying.
"It's only six Vega. I told you not to be late but I didn't tell you to be early" she as she open the door, "Well im sorry?" she let me in and headed towards the kitchen.
Her house is Victorian style and it looks elegant and dominant as well. It suites her personality I think her father design this house because based on the looks of his father the house defines him very well.
One particular vase caught my attention. I can't be mistaken it's the flower that I gave to her a few days ago. I can't believe that she kept this I thought she threw this away or burned it cause it's weird and pointless. But she didn't… She kept it.
"Why didn't you follow me to the kitchen? And what are you doing?" she went back in the living room to see what im up to, "I just found this unusual flower in your living room and it's gorgeous… Who gave this to you? Where did he buy this?" I asked, "Some creep left it in my porch. There's a note too saying good morning. I don't know if he's trying to irritate me or pollute my morning but I liked the flower so I kept it anyways. Follow me so we can eat dinner first before working on the assignment"
"It's only six" I replied, my family and I eat dinner around seven or eight, "So? Im hungry are you coming or what?"
I followed her as she head towards the kitchen. She likes the flower so she kept it wow I can't stop smiling she liked the flower that I made all by myself. But she thinks a creep gave her the flower. I guess that's ok… The thought that she liked the flower is enough to complete my entire night.
"Hope you like soup cause it's the only thing I can cook" she open the fridge as she try to look for the possible ingredients, "Well it's ok but do you really like soup?" I don't think she's the type of person who enjoys "soup" for a dinner, "Heh no it's just the lack of choice that im having" she answered as she close the fridge, "Let's just order a pizza I'll pay don't worry" I suggested, "Nah we'll split the payment. Go dial the pizza guy" I did what she told me to do and after talking to the pizza guy she sat in front of me with the books in her hand.
"Where are your books?" she raised her eyebrows, "Im done with my homework so I just came to help you with yours"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah so I can make sure that you don't copy mine" she let out a huff which is pretty cute. While we were waiting for the boxes of pizza that we ordered I showed Jade the basics of the assignment and mind you we're not even in the half part yet but she won't stop complaining already. My poor ears are hurting! She's becoming worse than Trina. Why did I agree to help her to this assignment again? 'Because you love her' dang it this conscience.
"No im serious why do I need to study letters with numbers?" she grunt, "You mean algebra?" I corrected her but it doesn't look like she care, "Whatever! I don't need this to become a great actress someday and sooner or later I'll forget this math algebra whatever thingy"
"Well at least you learned something about algebra" I reasoned out, "WHY do you have to be positive about everything?"
"What are you saying? I mean it's just math and we both know that it's hard so why don't you just try to finish it and I'll help you ok?" I have a feeling that we're going to argue about this, "It's because you're a dork that's why it's ok for you and no im done with this math thingy I want to watch the pentology of the saw now"
"You are not leaving this room until you finish this work"
"Why? I don't need that kind of painful headache in my life" she exclaimed, "If you don't do this you'll fail this class and you won't be able to pass if you have one fail subject!" I don't know if this is going to motivate her but it's the only thing I can think of, "Fine but im doing it only because I want too"
"Sure you do"
"WHAT?"
"Nothing now solve the third one cause we still have seven more to go and it's almost seven thirty" Ding Dong.
"That must be the pizza guy go get it" I stood up from the chair and rolled my eyes at her, "Alright"
I headed towards the door and opened it. I paid the pizza guy and took the pizza off of his hands. I was about to go back to the kitchen when I heard a loud thunder which made me scream, "You ok there Vega?" she yelled from the kitchen, "Yup I just heard a loud thunder that's all"
I continued to walk in the hallway but this time I heard the lightning and it's louder than the thunder so I ran over to Jade and dropped the boxes of pizza on the table. "I guess there's going to be a storm tonight" she said, "Well we better finish this so I can get home early"
She continued to work on her assignment while eating the pizza on her hand. She's not complaining anymore I think she got the hang of it, "OHMYGOD what the chizz happened?!"
"Damn it Vega relax the power just went off… I told you there's going to be a storm" then we heard the loud rain together with the lightning and thunder which made me scared and uncomfortable, "Don't tell me you're afraid of lightning and thunder?" she asked, "It's not the lightning and the thunder. I just don't like the sound of them" she chuckled so I presume that she didn't believe me, "It's the same thing"
"Shut up and continue your work west"
I saw her smirked before continuing the seventh number on her homework. It didn't take long for her to finish so I checked her work and she got no errors. I know she was really smart.
"Not bad you don't have any errors" I complimented her and she just grinned, "Are you expecting any?" I nodded my head and I heard her chuckle, "After all the complaining and arguing that we had I assumed that you'll only have two correct answers"
"Well you summed wrong" she gave me the serious yet playful look in her eyes that makes my heart melt and skip a beat. She's the only one who can do that and I can't believe that I'll fall for those eyes every single time that I look at them.
"I'll call Trina to pick me up here" I went back to her living room and pulled out my phone, "I'll put my books back to my room" I nodded as an answer. It took me three tries to reach Trina's phone and thank god she picked up on the fourth one.
Tori: Hello Treen? Can you pick me up at Jade's house?
Trina: Are you crazy? There's a huge storm outside and I don't even know where your girlfriend lives!
Tori: Will you stop saying that? I'll text you the address.
Trina: It's past my curfew sis.
Tori: What? It's only eight thirty our curfew is ten.
Trina: Our parents punished me for partying yesterday remember? So my curfew is eight. I'll just tell mom that you'll be staying at your girlfriend's house for the rest of the night because of the huge storm.
Tori: Don't tell her that and please pick me up I can't stay here!
Trina: This could be your chance to do your moves so don't waste it! And mom said it's better if you stay there boop bye tell me what happened tomorrow. I heard a beeping sound which means the line is dead.
"Trina! Trina! Are you there hello?!" I tried to dial her back but it says no signal, "What's with the yelling?" Jade came downstairs with a worried look on her face, "Trina said she can't pick me up what the chizz am I going to do?" I asked, "You shouldn't go out of the house because of the storm. You can stay here for tonight"
"Great so it's like another sleepover?"
"Except for the fact that you don't have any choice because your lazy sister won't pick you up" I rolled my eyes at her and she gave me a smirk, "Oh great"
"Sucks to be you"
"Gank"
This is the second time that I went inside her room. It never fails to amuse me because this girl in front of me is very creative and she knows how to use it according to her liking. I heard another thunder and I flinched. God when will this storm stop? I want to go to my bed and sleep and forget what happened tonight. I hate storms and lightning and thunders… They are so frightening.
"So are you going to sleep on the floor? I have the blankets but it's going to be cold" she sat down on her bed and I went in front of her, "Can I just sleep beside you cause I don't want to catch a cold when I sleep on the floor" I reasoned out, "I guess. Are you going to take a shower? I already showered" I shook my head, "I did the same at home"
"You're not going to change your clothes? Cause im not going to let you sleep with me wearing those dorky clothes" I rolled my eyes, "Fine do you have any pajamas?" I asked but she just raised her eyebrows at me, "You don't wear night dresses?"
"No they look weird on me but I do know that they're comfortable I just prefer pajamas cause they're so cute" she stood up and went to her closet, "Whatever" she handed me a pair of stripped pajamas with black and white strips, "You used to wear this?"
"Mom gave them to me but I refuse to wear them" I can hear her pear phone ringing. So I asked her who it was and she said it was Cat. I went to her bathroom and changed my outfit but I don't know where to hang my clothes on, "Jade where can I hang my clothes?"
"Just leave it in the bathroom counter im not going to steal your dorky clothes away from you so don't worry. I frowned and went outside the bathroom" I frowned, "I don't talk like that!"
"Sure you don't"
"So what did Cat want?" I asked, "She said it's none of your business" she gave me her sweet sarcastic and mean smile, "Fine just move over so I can lie down" she didn't move. She gave me an are-you-stupid-or-what look. "What?"
"I sleep on the left side"
"Fine" I went to the right side and lie down. She grabbed the remote but then she remembered that we don't have electricity. I let out a small laugh and I can see her glaring at me so I stopped.
I heard a very loud lighting that scared me to death so I didn't noticed that I accidentally hugged Jade and I was hugging her tightly. I don't want to let her go. I don't care if she snaps at me for hugging her I just don't want to let her go knowing that there's a lot of lightning and thunder that'll scare me tonight.
Surprisingly she didn't do anything. She didn't remove my hands off of her body and she didn't yell at me for hugging her. I snuggled close to her which made her a little bit uncomfortable cause she moved a little bit closer to the wall "Having fun there?" I ignored her and tried my best to fall asleep.
The loud storm outside is bothering me I can't sleep so I continued to snuggle Jade. Im enjoying this night, it's so quiet, warm, and I just love the feeling that im this close to her. She doesn't let anyone touch her like this except for Beck.
I've always been jealous of Beck because Jade treats him different from the others. I know that his Jade's boyfriend that's why she treats him kind of special. But I wish she can do the same thing to me even though I forced her to befriend me. At least I know that there's a chance that she'll like me back someday.
I can't erase the fact that she hated me and I want to know why. It's pretty obvious that we're different and you can see that based on the clothes that we wear and the way we act towards our friends. We're completely opposite to each other…. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I liked her. I've always pictured myself with her having fun and having arguments with her even though they're completely pointless.
All I've ever wanted is to have Jade for a company. I want to see her paying attention to me and listening to me even though it irritates her. I guess what im trying to say is having Jade as my girlfriend is the best thing that could ever happen to me.
"Jade…" I silently whispered, "Yeah" I didn't thought that she's still awake at this hour, "I thought you're asleep…"
"Well I wouldn't be talking if I was sleeping and I can't because the storm is loud" there is a quick silence before I started to say her name again, "Jade…" I called her name again, "What?" she asked, "What scares you the most? Except for cockroaches" I heard her frown, "I told you im not scared of cockroaches I just find them disgusting"
"What's your greatest fear?" she didn't answer my question. So I looked at her and she's staring at the ceiling… I can't see any emotion from her face. Not a picture of anger, sadness, or annoyance.
"I have no fear" she looked at me. Her blue-green eyes are starting to hypnotize me all over again. I always have the feeling that somehow those eyes are trying to tell me something. Something deep and important that only Jadelyn West herself knows.
I broke our stares and snuggled close to her and this time she didn't move. She even embraced me with her right arm. I wish we can stay like this forever. I'd love that very much. I can smell her vanilla-mint scent… I love her and this time im pretty sure that I do.
-WEST
I gently caress her hair while continuously staring at the ceiling. I love her soft chocolate curls and the way I curl them in my hand. I love her perfect cheekbones and the way she smiles… Because whenever she smiles it can somehow heal my twisted dark soul.
She's been doing a lot of things for me and I think she's one of the reasons why I go to school early. I want to see her walking to her locker with a precious smile on her face. I want her to give me the home made coffee that she made all by herself personally. Those little things made me happy. But I don't want her to know that I do.
Most of my friends especially Cat is starting to notice the changes between me and Tori. The way I act towards her and the way I talk to her as well. One time when she asked me why Tori and I doesn't fight anymore like we used to I accidentally told her something.
Cat: Tell me are you and Tori friends now?
Jade: I don't like Tori ok?
Cat: Well I didn't say that you liked her…
Jade: I know but…. Why are you even asking me this?
Cat: Why can't you answer me? It's answerable with yes or no and my brother knows them. Unless…
Jade: U-unless what?
Cat: Do you like Tori now?
Jade: NO.
Cat: You're so fast at-
Jade: Fine I do now leave.
Cat: You d-
Jade: Don't tell anyone about it or I swear to god I'll use my scissors to cut your giraffe's head. Understood? You can not tell anyone!
Cat: Kay Kay!
I don't even know why I told her about it. Knowing Cat she can easily spill the beans cause she's stupid. But I guess she's my best friend and she knows a lot about me other than my ex-boyfriend beck.
