Chapter 1: Hollywood Arts High School

I was sitting in the corner of my darker than usual room. What I mean by "darker than usual" is the fact that my room is black, and yet right now its even darker. That's pretty dark since black is the darkest color of them all. Why am I sounding all depressed you may ask, well, it's because I did something terrible and stupid, I guess you could say it's terribly stupid basically. I've lost everyone I love, my friends, the loves of my life, everyone. I look at my 'album of memories' I made through out my years of high school. My best friend, Cat, forced me to make this, but I don't remember when it was exactly, I just know it started when she became my best friend. I don't feel like talking about it that much right now so...lets just take a look at the album, and it will tell the story for me...

Flashback:

Jade West was escorted out of her limo that took her to her new school, "Hollywood Arts." Her trusty butler/chauffeur, Nigel, offered to walk her in, but Jade declined. When Jade entered the "Asphalt Cafe," she looked down at her invitation. It was made by the principle that invited all the upcoming freshmen for a welcome party. Jade hates parties, but had nothing else to do, so decided to come. Plus, she wanted to get to know the school a little better so that on her first day she wouldn't seem like a lost dummy.

"The Grand Room. Pft, what a stupid name." Jade scoffed, reading her invitation out loud.

She entered the double doors of the prestigious high school, walked around the main hall, and looked around. Lockers, some kids walking by, and...a homeless looking man drinking a coconut? He looked familiar to Jade...hmmm where had she seen him before? ...oh right, he was at the auditions, how could she forget a person like him? He was wearing weird, mismatched clothes and drinking a coconut then, and was doing the exact same thing now. He gave her a very wide grin when he spotted her looking at him.

"He-lloooo. I'm Sikowitz! Are you an alien from Mars or a freshman? I can't tell, y'all look the same! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Jade scooted back, very weirded out by him. After a few more moments, the man, "Sikowitz," did not stop laughing so Jade stood there and let out a very annoyed sigh.

"Hey! Can you stop laughing like a weirdo already? There's nothing funny about what you said, and I am clearly a freshman. Jeeze. Anyways, will you tell me where... 'The Grand Room' is?" Jade asked in annoyance. The man immediately stopped laughing and looked at her confused. He wasn't offended, just confused that a new student would act like such a brat.

"Erm, yeah I will tell you...just chill your peas, or else...no one will want to be your friend."

"Don't tell me what to do. And I don't need, nor want friends. Never have, never will."

*Sigh* "Alright, whatever you wanna think. Walk up those stairs, turn left, and look for the double doors at the end of the hall. It won't be hard to find, it'll be the only room with lights and music on. HAHAHAHAHA! Oh sorry, forgot you hate happy. See ya later I guess."

"Yeah whatever, thanks." Jade walked away. She was about halfway up the stairs when she heard that man greet with the exact same question to another person. Jade rolled her eyes at this, but continued walking. When she found the double doors at the end of the hall, she walked in. There were a bunch of circle tables everywhere, a small stage at the end of the room, and a long table with snacks and beverages against the wall. There were some multi-colored lights, and balloons, some people sat at the tables, some stood. Jade felt a little awkward. What would she do? Walk up to someone? She didn't really know how to make friends. As if someone had heard her thoughts, a person tapped her on the shoulder. Jade spun around and a red-head stood in front of her. It wasn't your usual red-head with orangy hair and freckles. It was literally a red-haired-headed girl, red velvet red. The girl was wearing a white skirt with ruffles, a pink tank top, and pink converse. She smiled cutely. Jade pictured a stick figure puking. That stick figure would represent Jade.

"Hey! I'm Cat Valentine, but my real name is Caterina, but only my grandmother calls me Caterina 'cuz its "formal-er" or something like that, but you can just call me Cat since we don't need to be formal-y right now, know what I mean?" The red-head, Cat, explained while giving Jade a playful nudge. Jade moved away so Cat would stop touching her. She hates it when people touch her, especially people she didn't even know.

"Oh...I'm Jade." She answered awkwardly with a dull tone. Cat giggled again. Jade shivered, she hates giggling, but Cat didn't notice.

"That's so cool! My brother once had a piece of jade, but found out it was fake from my mom, so he threw it at some lady outside our window, who then called the cops on him, but he didn't get arrested since the lady wasn't too hurt and my brother was only 10 or something at the time so it was a little more okay...I think..." Jade was staring with wide eyes at this very energetic girl telling this weird ass story about her brother. Cat looked back up at Jade then grinned widely at her. "Anyways, what did you do for your audition? I sang 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' from 'Wizard of Oz.' Heh heh."

"I know what 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' is from, I mean seriously, who doesn't?" Jade asked slightly annoyed.

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!" Cat exclaimed, causing a few people to look at the girls. Jade looked around nervously and then back at this spastic person in front of her.

"Nothing! Nothing! Just...here." She handed Cat a piece of chocolate. She had some with her because chocolate is one of the things Jade actually doesn't hate. Cat suddenly went from frowning to smiling and took the chocolate happily and started to unwrap it.

"YAY! I love chocolate! Yummy! Thanks Jade!"

"Yeah...sure...just don't freak out again, okay?"

"Kay-kay." Cat replied, still unwrapping her chocolate. The two stood there for a bit until Cat was done eating. Jade pretended to look at her PearPhone for text messages so she didn't look awkward. Then Cat spoke up again.

"Hey Jade, lets go meet other people!"

Jade sighed. "Fine, whatever."

"Yay! This is like an adventure for...new friends!" Cat snapped her fingers when she said "new friends." Jade shrugged.

"Whatever."

The two girls walked around the room for a bit until a boy with dread-locks and another boy with glasses came up to them. The boy with dreads smiled then spoke.

"Hey girls, I'm Andre and this is my best bud Robbie." Robbie waved at them and Cat giggled.

"Hi Andre! Hi Robbie! I'm Cat, well my real name is Caterina, but like I told Jade here, only my grandmother calls me Caterina 'cuz its "formal-er" but you can just call me Cat since we're not being formal-y, and this is Jade, who I guess I already introduced, but...OMG! I just thought of a suuupperr cute nick-name for Jade! Jadey! Yeah! Lets call her Jadey from now on, okay? But remember, her real name is still Jade , Jadey will just be a nick-"

"CAT!" Jade shouted.

"Whatey?" Cat asked innocently, tilting her head to the side.

"Shut up! That's what." The two boys looked at them in disbelief, wondering the same thing. How could someone be so damn mean?

Andre's POV

So basically, me and my best friend Robbie just met these two girls, but the goth one, who may I say is pretty hot, is already yellin' at the little red headed girl. I mean, the red head, Cat, is slightly ditzy and overly enthusiastic, but I don't get why Jade has to be such a bitch. Well lets see how the rest of this night goes. I really wanna get to know these two, they seem interesting, and different, but ones pissed and the other is sad, and it's been what? Two minutes? High school truly is an adventure.

So that's chapter one. This is still sorta still the intro so it's not that exciting yet but yeah, R&R please! Thanks, I appriciate it! :D
