Chapter One
I walked outside to my bus. Today was my first day at my new school, I new things would be different. I got on the bus. As I walked down the alse people put purses and other things on the seat so I wouldn't sit down. Then I saw an empty seat and sat down. As the bus moved the window was opened and my hair flew back and forth as I could smell the fall and spring air as the leaves fell upon the ground. We had arrived at the school. I got off the bus and into the office.
Me: Umm hi I'm the new student Jessica
Lady: Well yes here is your lock and if you get lost ask a student
Me: Thanks
I walked to the 3rd floor were my locker was held. I put my code in and it opened. I gathered my things and walked to my class. As I walked through the door I saw kids sitting on desks, talking and throwing paper balls at one another and of course theres a high school hottie sitting on her quater back football player boyfriend lap. I took a seat at the back then a girl walked up to me.
Kelly: Hi I'm kelly you must be the new girl
Me: Yeah if thats what you want to call me
Kelly: So why you sitting in the back
Girl: Because thats were all the lames sits
Me and Kelly looked at each other.
Kelly: Don't mind her shes just mad someone wants to talk to you
Girl: Oh shutup
Me: Well it was nice meeting you
Girl: Your lamer than I thought
Everybody laughed. Then the teacher walked in.
Teacher: Good morning class today we have a new student, please come up. Everybdoy turned there eyes on me as I walked up to the front of the class.
Me: Hi I'm Jessica the new girl
Girl: Tell us something we don't know
Teacher: Ok ok now be nice
Me: Well I moved here all the way from Brentwood
As I spoke I herd people laughing and making fun of what I was wearing
Girl: Did someone tell you that its 2012 not the 70's
Everybody was laughing and booing me. I ran out the class. If nobody liked me what was the point. I ran in the bathroom as tears came running out my eyes like a river going head speed. I didn't want to finish the rest of the day but I new I had to.
Chapter two
Mom: Hey honey how was school
Me: Why would you even ask
Mom: What, did something happen
Me: Yes everything
Mom: Well whats wrong
Me: We moved here!
I walked up the steps and into my room and I laid on my bed.
&
The bell had rung and I wasn't in the class.But I new I had to go in there. I took a deep breath and walked in the class.
Teacher: Well Miss.Jessica why are you late?
Me: Sorry I got lost
Everybody started laughing but the truth is I just didn't feel like comming today. I took a seat as the teacher wrote my first tardy down, To be honest I didn't care if I had 30 tardies. Then that same girl who called me lame came up to me.
Girl: Look sorry this is my orginal seat so I'm going to need you to move
Me: Well all these seats in here you couldn't care for one day right
Girl: Get out of my seat before I rip your brains out
Her foot ball player quater back boyfriend started laughing and so did his friends. I got up and walked to the back of the room were I saw a boy with a rat in his pocket. I was so uncomfortable the whole day. I was glad when the day was over. I had forgot my books in biology class and I had to go get them. I grabbed them and ran outside but I was to late, I had missed my bus. I started to walk. Then I saw the girl and her quater back boyfriend driving crazy down the street. I tried to move out the way but I was to late, Then SPLASH!!!! all water came up on me, I was really soaked. As they drove off I saw them laughing and I ran home and opened the door.
Mom: What in the world
Me: Don't even ask
I ran up the steps to take a shower so I could get out of these wet clothes. After I was done taking my warm shower I went to sleep.
Chapter Three
I was glad today was a half a day because I don't think I would have survived the whole day at school. I actually liked walking but I new better not to walk when it was raining. Then I saw the quater back driving as he beeped at me. I didn't know what for. Then his car stoped and he got out of the car.
Boy: Let me give you a hand
I looked confused
Me: No I'm good
Boy: Look I want to apologize about what happened yesterday
Me: Oh its ok
Boy: No It's not and I want to make it up to you
Me: What for
Boy: Look I know you think I'm nuts right

Me: Ok just a little bit
He laughed and walked closer to me.
Boy: Look it's not like I'm going to kidnapp you or anything
Me: Well I would hope not
Boy: Look my name is James
Me: Yeah your girlfriend is Mya
James: Yeah shes a good one
Me: If you say so

I closed the door and walked in my house. James was not bad after all.

Mya: So how did it feel to go with James for what 2 days
She started to laugh.
Me: Look I have nothing against you, but you seem to have alot against me and I don't understand your life is way better than mines.

I started to run and the counselor stopped me.
Chapter Nine
Amazing Grace how sweet
I cried as the song feeled my heart with sadness. I rembered how my mom used to sing to me when I was little and she would tell me that I was ok and everything was alright and I wouldn't have to be afarid anymore. But now that song had other meanings. My dad was holding my hand as everyone was dressed in black. When I saw the color black It made me think of death, depressed and lonely and right now I felt all those things.
Then it was the end. I walked up to her casket and put a flower and the bracelet she gave me when I was little on her casket. I started to cry as the pulled her casket down. I thought my mom was leaving me again. I mean my mom always left me but I still oved her and I really needed her right now. Then I saw James and his friends come out the car all dressed in black. He walked up to me.
James: Look I'm so sorry
Me: Look James right now I don't want to talk
James: Ok well we can talk later
Me: I don't feel like talking at all
James: ok than we will take a walk
He pulled my hand.
We started to walk. Then I stoped at the grassland were me and my mom used to go and talk.
Me: Me and my mom used to come here
James: I thought you wasn't talking
Me: Your still a jerk
He laughed.
James: Look I'm really sorry, you were right, I am afraid that my friends wont except you and I don't want to be seen with you and I am a coward.
Me: Yeah I know I am right but I really dont car anymore nothing matters anymore
James: Look is still like you
Mea: You do not look like you just came from a cemetary
James: How
Me: I mean look at you, you have on black jeans and a black t- shirt
James: You have on a black poca dotted dress
Me: I know
It started to rain. I pulled out my mickey mouse anbrella and pulled it up as I let the rain fall on the anbrella as it driped.
James: Can I get under there to
Me: Sure
He got under were Our faces were face to face. Then he leaned over and kissed me.
Chapter Ten
I was laying on my bed. Just watching tv. Then my dad told me that someone was at the door for me. Since I didn't feel like going down the steps I told my dad to let them come upstaires. It was James, Miles and Randy.
Randy: I want to say sorry for talking about your mother if I would have known I wouldn't never had said that
Me: You shouldn't be talking about nobody's parents period
Randy: Yeah I know sorry
Me: Excepted
Then they walkd out except for James.
Me: Can I help you
James: Yes a week ago I kissed you and you didn't pull away
Me: Thats because I was under an anbrella and it was raining
James: So if I kiss you right now would you pull away
Me: We have to see first
James laughed.
Then he kissed me and I kissed him back.
Me: Now look if you ever play me again I will hurt you and I mean busy
James: No I wont I made a huge mistake the last time and now I learned from it, I need you and you need me
James was right I did need him after my mom died and now since everything is quiet.
I kissed him again
&
I was walking down the halls hand to hand with James. Mya looked at me as if I just hit her in the face.
Mya: Umm James what are you doing?
James: Oh you didn't get the memo I broke up with you
Mya: I didn't hear that
James: Yeah because I text it to you
Mya: You jerk
James: I've been called worse
He kissed me and we kept walking. Things were going so well with me and James. I was finally his girlfriend instead of his secret and that really felt great right now. Me and my dad really didn't talk after the incident sometimes he acts like shes still there. Like yesterday he asked me did I want to go take a walk with her and I looked at him confused. I'm just sad that my dad cant seem to get over it and I can. I mean I'm used to people leaving me and never returning. My whole life is like that. But James has showed me something different like showing me that hes there and he wont ever leave me or thats at least what he said and I believe him.
CHapter Eleven
My dad had called me down staires to help him with the tv remote. That old man cant seem to never get it working.
Me: Dad all you have to do is point it at the tv
Dad: I know that I'm not stupid I just think the batteries low
Me: No there not I just put new ones in yesterday
Dad: No you didn't because you to busy with that stupid boy
Me: James is not stupid
Dad: Look just fix the dammn remote
Me: No I wont you act like your stupid, and that you can fix a remote I'm tired of being your stupid slave and daughter.
I slammed the door and walked out the house. My dad came charging at me but I didn't care.
Dad: Look baby I"m so sorry its just I really miss your mother and I'm just
Me: I'm sorry I didn't mean none of that
Dad: It's ok i'm sorry to and look who cares for that dumb remote
I laughed and walked back in the house.
