~Amelia's POV~

'Did I just do that?' I thought to myself.

I thought I like Cameron, so why did I kiss him back? Could it be that my feelings have changed? It could be possible, he is really sweet. Maybe he's the one.

I picked up my phone from my bed and contemplated if I should text him or not. If I did, would he answer?

Me: Hi Jade.

I texted him and waited for an answer. He would usually respond pretty fast. So I waited.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jade<3: hey sorry i was doing something.

Me: Doing what?

Jade<3: stuff

why'd you text me? It's late.

Me: I just wanted to talk. Is that okay?

Jade<3:  sure ig, whatchu tryna talk abt?

Me: Lol idk.

Jade<3: Let's Play 8-ball!

I laughed and then clicked the link.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: Jade I'm tired.

Jade<3: same

Me: I'm going to sleep, good night Jade<3

Jade<3: good night babe💕

I smiled at the messages. I put my phone on the charger and let it rest on my nightstand.

I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

~The Next Day~

I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed.

'I slept good last night' I thought to myself.

I put my feet on the floor and stretched my arm into the air. I stood up from my bed and walked over to my drawers in the corner of my room. I picked out my uniform and went to the bathroom.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I brushed my hair and put it in a messy braid, it's my favorite hairstyle.

I don't wear makeup, I just put petroleum jelly on my eyelashes and my lips. I smiled at myself in the mirror and walked out of the bathroom.

I walked downstairs to put on my shoes. "Mom?" I called for her name.

"Mom!" I screamed to her up the stairs.

I rushed upstairs and walked into her room. "I think you forgot that you are my MOTHER and that I need to be fed on a basis," I said to my mom, who was reading on her bed.

"How about you use your eyes and look at the money I put on the counter? You're lucky you're getting anything from me. Get out of my sight." My mom snapped at me.

I sucked my teeth and went back downstairs. I looked for the money on the counter. 'What the hell am I supposed to buy with $5? Tsk, forget it.' 

I grabbed my backpack and my sweater and left the house.

~TiMe SkIp_

Something is off today, I just can't put my finger on it.

I placed my stuff in my locker and grabbed the books that I leave in my locker. I was distracted for a bit before I felt someone's arm snake around my shoulder.

"Hey, babe."  I smiled knowing exactly who it was, only to be humbled real quick by the sight of my ex-boyfriend, Cameron.

"W-what?" I was in deep confusion. Is this some kind of sick joke? "Don't you like Brooke?"

"Why would I ever like her? You feeling okay, babe?" Cameron asked me.

"Get off of me, and don't call me that." I moved his hand off my shoulder and walked away to my class.

I walked into my class, looking around for a certain dreadhead. My eyes stopped on the heavenly-looking boy. I walked over to his desk and he looked up at me through his dreads.

"Hey, Jade!" I said excitedly.

"Uhm, hi?" he said with a confused expression.

"Are you okay?"

"Why are you talking to me?" Jade questioned.

"Cause we're-" Before I could finish my sentence, the teacher walked into the classroom. I quickly moved to my seat and sat down.

What'sgoingon?What'sgoingon?What'sgoingon?What'sgoingon?What'sgoingon?

I walked over to Jade's desk after school like always.

"Yes?" He looked at me after packing up his stuff.

"I'm waiting for you, of course," I told him.

"Did I ask you to wait for me? Exactly, No I didn't. So get lost." He pushed past me, nudging me with his shoulder. Ouch.

I followed him out of the classroom and struggled to keep up with him like a lost child. I guess he got annoyed by that.

"Amelia, get away from me. You have your own boyfriend and I have a girlfriend. Leave me alone." he phrased.

My eyebrows furrowed at his little remark. "Wait, who's your girlfriend?"

My question was answered as a girl walked up to him. Brooklyn.

"Hey, Brooke."  Jade leaned down and gave her a peck on the lips.

As soon as I saw it, my eyes grew wide with disbelief. "I should have seen this coming. You're always the problem. As long as you're around, I'll never have a chance at a happy ending. It's just not fair," I said, my voice shaking as tears welled up in my eyes.

What type of nightmare is this?

My eyes burst open.

'That's exactly what it was. A nightmare. I've never been happier in my life.'

I smiled to myself knowing that my chance with Jade was still there. But honestly, there's no way I'm going back to sleep.
