The weekend had passed quickly, Saturday night was a lot of fun and I think anyone would agree with me. Well, besides Trina and Sinjin. Sunday I slept in, I was drained from preparing for the Prome and, well the night of Prome. I had been totally drained by the time I got home. So I slept, and didn't wake up until noon on Sunday. But, I didn't actually do much then. I got up, showered, and just laid around watching tv and listening to music. I had to deal with a lot of complaining from Trina about not winning Prome Queen though.
And, before I knew It, I was waking up to an annoying alarm blaring in my ear. Monday morning. With a groan I rolled out of bed, I had forgotten that I had set my alarm clock earlier than normal and why I did it. Until I got a text from Jade saying she was on her way. Crap, how could I forget! I have to rush to get ready, throwing on a purple blouse, a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of hi-tops. I grab my bag and rush out the front door just in time to see a black Jeep Wrangler pull into my driveway. I move quickly and opened the door, noticing jade didn't even bother to notice me. She wore a red flannel button up shirt, jeans, her boots and a pair of sunglasses.
"Morning Jade" I said softly, trying to see if she would say anything.
She turned to me, and I could tell she wore a blank stare under her glasses. Her expression hadn't changed much. Slowly we started to pull out of the drive way and began moving towards the main street.
"Don't talk to me until I have my coffee, Vega" she finally muttered looking to me again before turning towards the road.
The drive was silent, neither of us spoke. I was going to once to ask what was bugging her, but she shot me down with that glare she wore. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity we pulled up to coffee shop. I got out and began to lead the way towards the front doors and looked back to her.
"what are you having?" She looked up at me, as if I startled her from her thoughts.
"Large coffee…Black. Hurry" She demanded.
With that I took off, opening the door to her jeep and moving to go into the coffee shop. I ordered the black coffee for Jade and a French vanilla coffee for myself before heading back out to the Jeep. I opened the door with a bit of trouble and handed her the coffee with a smile. But, she still seemed a bit off.
"Here you go." I began as I handed her the coffee.
She took the coffee and helped up a hand to tell me to wait. She was on the phone. She mumbling short answers to whoever she was talking to. She let out a growl and then called whoever was on the phone a gank and hung up.
"uh..what was that about?" I asked nervously as I watched her taking a long sip from the plastic blue and white cup.
"Mind your own business Vega.." her voice was off, it was venom filled. It sounded broken, sad.
"You know Jade, I am your friend, you can talk to me" I insisted.
She let her head fall and hit the steering wheel and groaned in annoyance. She grumbled something under her breathe and all I could do was reach out and try to comfort her awkwardly, even though she was acting like I was the source of her discomfort. She lifted her head up, beginning to start driving. We were headed right for school, but to my surprise she drove right past school. And, we headed straight for what I was guessing was the beach.
Parking, she quickly got out of the jeep and slammed the door inserting a few coins into a parking meter and began to storm off. I called after her as I followed her but she didn't stop. We walked past the main part of the beach, past a lot of people and straight into a small park. We dipped further and further into the park until the trees blocked out all of the beach and anything else around us. But, it had a clearing in front of us, a small little lake sat there. She found a spot and sat with a sigh.
"Uhm….are we skipping school?"I asked awkwardly as I stared down at her. She sent me a glare in reply.
"Yeah.." she grumbled lightly after a sigh. "don't feel like being surrounded by people right now."
I was a bit shocked but I sat close to her. It was a bit shocking that she had pulled me along. I would have expected her to literally KICK me out of her jeep or something. Just like when she came to me after her and Beck broke up, I wasn't sure what to do, so I patted her back a bit awkwardly.
"you can talk to me, if something is bugging you." I offered to her trying to get her to open up. She scoffed a bit and shook her head.
"Why are you always so nice to me?" she asked in disbelief. "I mean, I tried to wreck your prome, you got detention because of me, I get you into so much and I am a total gank. So why?"she asked staring at me with those deep blue eyes.
Gulping I had never really thought about it, but as much of a gank she was, she had a nice side too. And, I would let her know of it.
"Jade, do you realize that you are a gank, but you are balanced. You got me detention from the stage fight, but you came in and got me out. You tried to ruin my prome, but we ended up having a lot of fun. And out of everything, you trust me, more than Cat, Robbie and Andre atleast." I mutter with a smile trying to make her realize how much of a good person she was rather she saw it or not.
"I never said I trusted you" she grumbled out looking away with her arms crossed over her chest. "and who said I had fun at your trashy little prome?" she asked with a slight bitter tone ringing back into it.
"you were grinning ear to ear when we were dancing. So don't even try to hide that you had fun!"I retorted playfully trying to cheer up.
"Yeah whatever you say, Tori" She said with a lighter tone after she rolled her eyes.
"hey! You didn't call me Vega for a change!" I cheered happily with a wide smirk.
Okay, I am so sorry for the long ass wait. I've been trying to learn to play piano, find a job, move out, get a lot of stuff done. And I just don't get much time to type up some story. But, it is also part of my writing/drawing commitment issues. I will work harder because surprisingly this story has gotten many story alerts. I was surprised. Thanks for all the support and I will get the next chapter up. Reviews help me type faster ;]
