Hello my friends. Yet another long absence. I know, I'm really bad at this updating thing. But after this week, I'M COMPLETELY DEDICATED TO WRITING! There, I wrote it so I have to do it. My finals are done this week, so after them I am ready for a Jori filled summer! Stick around folks, there's good things to come!
Chapter 3: Watching Them Break
Two more months of agony occur, until I started to realize some crucial things. I was so wrapped up in my selfish pity and depressing cloud of doom, that I was so oblivious to the marvelous things occurring around me.
Beck and Jade are deteriorating. Their relationship is crumbling right before my very eyes, and I've been way too self centered to even notice! It all clicked when I arrived at school today.
My usual morning starts off with me dragging my butt out of bed, showering, getting dressed and all that, then scarfing down breakfast. I'm forced to ride to school with Trina, because I'm apparently the only 17 year old without a driver's license. My ears are nearly bleeding from her screeching she classifies as singing while listening to the radio. Or I usually end up with shaving cream all over me from having to shave her jungle of arm pit hair (seriously, who has that much hair?!). Today I was spared though, my father drove me to school before heading to the station. But anyway, after all that, I padded into Hollywood Arts and expected to find the usual surroundings;
Cat is usually with Robbie on the steps talking about nonsense, Andre is usually playing some type of music or occasionally talking to Beck at their lockers, and Jade is usually sipping her black coffee (with two sugars of course), while talking/making out with Beck or wreaking havoc on the innocent victims of Hollywood Arts.
But today I walked in, trying to be in a tolerable mood for the sake of Andre, who now knows about my undying love for Jade, (but that's an entirely different and awkward story that will be shared another time). Jade was at her locker, but her eyes were like daggers, locked on Beck, who was talking to some girl at his locker. I believe her name is Abigail. She's quite pretty, tan skin, hazel eyes, long, straight brown hair. He's working on a project with her for song writing 101, but leave it to Jade to think something else is going on. After parting with Abigail, Beck walks, (almost struts like he freaking owns the place, in my opinion), over to Jade. That's basically where it all goes downhill.
Jade West has very short temper as we all know, and one little thing can make that ticking time bomb explode. I pity anyone who sets her off unintentionally, which is usually a student just asking a simple question, but 99.9% of the time it's me who feels the wrath of the Wicked Witch of the West.
But anyway...
A coffee cup goes flying, decently hot liquid is splattered onto Beck's white shirt and perfectly styled hair. What struck me was that she did it with a smile, and looked so confident while potentially severly burning her darling boyfriend. And I thought getting iced coffee poured on me was bad, but man, that must have being torturous.
Beck who I swear thought was going to hit Jade right then and there, pulled the satisfied pale girl off into the janitor's closet. All while dripping coffee all over the floor and leaving a sticky trail behind them. All of us bystanders stood in utter shock, jaws slack open waiting for the "it" couple to emerge from the closet.
A good five minutes went by, when Jade stormed out of the closet right as the warning bell rang and nearly slaughtered anyone in her way.
But it gets better.
Sinjin had this 'spectacular' idea for a game show, called "Queries for Couples", and asked us all to participate in it. Big mistake.
