The next day came around and I was not ready. I was not prepared to go to a new high school. Though, I knew that nobody would know me, I didn't how to greet myself. Back in Arizona, I didn't have a single friend, and going here would just rub it in my face. Sigh. Like any normal kid, I got up. Took a shower. And got dressed. I wore a red Jack Wills moordown shirt, light blue jeans, and white Nike Air Force 1's. I walked out of my room and went straight downstairs. I found Jake in the kitchen--- eating. He had himself a small thing for breakfast. An apple with buttered toast and coffee. I am not surprised that I found Jake eating like this. The boy knows how to cook, but he barely does since mom and dad split. He just buried his anger inside and let his lack of regular things he would do, speak.

It annoyed me with how Jake would act all happy and smile--- knowing that inside he is angry and hurting due to mom and dad's split. Still, he does nothing about it! Nothing! And I hate it. I just do. Normally, I wouldn't say anything, but I guess today I may. Just by looking at his face, I can tell that something is in his mind. Something painful. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed myself a glass cup and went to the refrigerator.

"Morning Zayn" beamed Jake--- smiling that smile, which almost irked me. He had to always make things look bright and wonderful. He is just like mom. Only she lets out her frustration by burring a her face in a pillow. Jake just bottles it all up.

"Hey" I managed to speak out as I took out the orange juice and poured it into the cup. Jake just watched me as I sat down next to him.

"Ready for school, I see" he said. I took a sip of juice. I didn't want to speak to him right now--- I was too angry with the fact that he won't tell me what is going on in his mind. "All of your books are packed and I put your book bag in your truck."

I looked into Jake's eyes and sighed once I saw those brown orbs. They look like my mother's, but are slightly brighter. Now I see why people would say Jake was more of my mother, than my father. They are alike a little in physical but not mentally.

"Thanks Jake, really" I said. And he smiles. I looked up at the clock and saw that it was eight twenty-one. Jake gasped at the tim.

"You better leave now" he suggested. I stood up as he took the empty glass out of my hand and placed it in the sink. "You don't want to be known as the 'tardy-pants-boy' on the first day." I can clearly see his point there.

I walked towards the door when he called out to me. "Have a good day!" he went. I waved to him before I exited the house.

I walked to the my truck and slammed the door shut almost. I sighed as I rested my hands on the wheel. I was taught how to drive back in Arizona by my mother---- but I was still forever nervous. I started the engine and put the car in drive. I backed up and once I was in the street I drive to school. I remember the name of the school from when Jake told me last night...

"It is Viron Williams High school. Good school too. Great education. It will be a wonderful benefit for you Zayn."

.....All schools have different benefits, so how is this any different? I sighed. I stopped at the street light as I thought. Yes, I thought. I was thinking about him. Chase. It seems like every silent moment, Chase pops in my head....
