Jade Hendersons POV
3:19pm, monday
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

god, today has felt like an eternity.

i cant tell you how many fake ass "how are you doing"s i've gotten today!

i left my last class early, i cant deal right now.
i walk into the woods, taking out a pack of cigarettes & a lighter. i put the cigarette up to my lips and try to light it, when i bump into someone. i gasp, turning around. "oh my god!" i say, shocked.

"woah, woah. didn't mean to scare you." he chuckled. "uh, it's eddie, right?" i spit out, laughing awkwardly. he smiles at me, the first half-way genuine smile ive gotten all day.

"wait. why are you in the woods?" i ask, confused. "i could say the same to you." he says with a smirk. i roll my eyes, picking up my lighter off the ground. "well nice seeing you again..?" i say, turning around. "yeahh" Eddie mumbles to himself.

strange.

i walk out of the woods, putting out my cigarette before i get up to the school. i'm curious why Munson was in the woods..

that's when i see billy, already staring at me.

i'm not in the mood, but that's never stopped him before. as i walk past him he grabs my arm. "wait." he says, still leaning on his car.
"need something?" i sigh. "who's got your parties in a twist." he smirks. i roll my eyes, pushing his arm off of me before he got the chance to say anything else.

i debate whether i should walk home or not.

then, i have the brilliant idea to call steve.
we haven't talked since i left, but i'm sure he won't say no. it's worth a shot, right?

i walk up to the phone, and dial steve's house number. his mom answered, apparently he works at family video nowadays.
i call, and patiently wait for someone to pick up.

finally, robin did.
and after a lot of brain melting chit chat, she says she'll go and get steve.

she's nice and all, but i swear the girl never shuts up.

"hello?" i say, hoping steve is on the other end.
"Jade, hey.." Steve says.
"uhm i just wanted to say hi! i'm back in town.." i pause.

"we should hang sometime?" i say, not wanting to bother him while he's at work.
"yeah. sure!" he says.

we talk for a few minutes, but after that we hang up.

great, now i have no ride.

i ended up walking home, and by time i finally got there it was 6:00pm..

i unlock the door, expecting to see mom.
but instead there's a note, with $20 under it.

"working late again, Dusty bun is at Mikes again tonight!

order a pizza, and don't wait up!

love,
mom "

"hm. pass!" i say sarcastically.
i throw my bag down & jog upstairs to my bedroom, plopping down on my bed.

i lay there for a few minutes, exhausted from my long, hard, day of socializing when i hear a knock at the door.

who could it be?
