Jade
Well, lucky me! My first day is off to a great start! I have 2 pages of stupid AP Calc about limits, I need to write a paper on Roman Economics, and I have to find a song I usually wouldn't sing, and sing it. As if I didn't have enough to deal with already. I literally threatened 4 boys with my scissors so far! This outfit wasn't for them.
Speaking of who the outfit was for, I see her walk outside of the school into the Asphalt cafe. I start to change my mind when I see the girl who's with Tori. They go up to the truck and I rush to get in line behind them, so I can get a good look at this girl. As I approach them, the girl seems to draw me closer and closer. Maybe it's her blonde and beanie combination, maybe its the checkered button down, but whatever it is, I need more of it. I step in line behind the two girls and try to act like I don't care about this hot girl in front of me.
"Oh, Jade, hi! I didn't see you!" Vega says smiling her famous all teeth smile. "This is Astrid, she's new." The brunette says. The blonde turns around with a unreadable expression. She's a bit taller than me, so I have to look up to see her eyes. They're greenish gray. She fixes her black framed glasses to go over her eyes fully and half smiles.
"Nice jacket." She says. I can't tell if she means it.
"I know" I say back to her. She then turns around to listen to Tori talk about some crazy thing she did this summer.
When I get back to the table with my salad, Tori is introducing Astrid to everyone.
"I'm Cat! What's that?" Cat asks Astrid, pointing to a bracelet on her wrist. It's leather and has a silver, triangular symbol. I sit down, actually interested in the conversation.
"Well Cat, do you know about the Celtics?" Astrid asks the red head.
"No? Is that a place?" She answers. I see Astrid realize she has to take a simple approach.
"The Celtics were people who lived a long time ago. They had tons of stories about fairies and creatures." Astrid says. Cat's eyes get wide in fascination. "This is one of the signs that my Dad told me about." Astrid says.
"What's that?" Cat asks.
"It means to live now. To take chances. Because each part of the symbol stands for something. Past, present, and future. They all connect. So it means to get the most out of your life." Astrid says. She has Cat in a trance. I think she has me in one too. Who is this girl? I need to know.
The rest of the lunch is in a blur, because all I can do is watch Astrid talk.
I walk into my script writing class and see Astrid sitting in the back, so I decide to take the seat next to her. Surprisingly enough, the teacher isn't even there for the first day, so everyone just starts talking.
"So it's Jade, right?" I hear the blonde girl next to me say.
"Yeah. But that's none of your business." I say
"But" she says then gets closer, "What if it should be?" She says, her voice low.
"Huh?" I ask incredibly confused. Is she hitting on me? But just as I'm about to ask if she is, the teacher walks in, making the class quiet.
I never got a chance to ask her.
