Masie Rae has the perfect life. Good grades, amazing friends, a caring family, a boyfriend, and money. She has everything planned out for her future until a thug moves to town, Jagger Moon. Jagger starts gangs, sells drugs, gets arrested, and screws...
The rest of the weekend goes by fast. I stayed home all day on Sunday and I woke up Monday morning as happy as can be. I was glad me and Aubree worked things out. I hope now she will stay away from Jagger and not continue to throw her self at him. I know Jagger finds Aubree attractive, he just tries to hide it.
I put on a pair of ripped jeans and an olive green cropped tank top. This is a casual outfit, but I'm too lazy to find something else.

When I get to school, Aubree and Gracie are both standing by each other. I see a few looks here and there looking at us, but I ignore them.
Usually Jagger is here by now, but he's not.
"Have you guys seen Jagger?" I ask and Aubree and Gracie look at each other suspiciously.
"Over there." Aubree squeals and points to Jagger. He's walks behind a wall so I can't see him anymore. I determine if I should go over there, but without thinking or looking back at Gracie and Aubree I start to move my feet towards Jagger.
"Jagger?" I say, turning around the corner.
Another male student is handing Jagger money and Jagger is handing him a bag of something. What?
Jagger quickly takes the money and shoves it in his pocket. He pushes me by my back all the way back to Gracie and Aubree. He looks at Aubree confused, but continues to go. I step in front of him and stare into his eyes.
"What was that?" I ask him. He looks away from me and shifts uncomfortably.
"Jagger? Answer me." I push him. I can tell he's angry by the way his eyes look behind me. I turn around to see what he's looking at, but see nothing interesting. Gracie has the same confused look on her face that I do while Aubree looks like she knows something.
"Aubree, do you know what's going on?" I step towards her and she slowly nods her head yes.
"Aubree, don't." Jagger takes a step towards me and wraps his hand around my arm. I don't want him touching me until I know what he did. I pull away from him and look back at him.
"Don't touch touch me!" I shout. He huffs in frustration and looks at our audience.
"Jagger w-was selling." Aubree whispers and looks down. What? I don't understand.
"Selling what?" I look back at Jagger then back to Aubree.
"Drugs." Aubree murmurs quickly. I stop in my tracks and don't move a muscle. Drugs? He does drugs? He wouldn't. He doesn't look like he does drugs.
"So all those times I asked you to hang out, you were to busy selling drugs?" I turn my body to him. I look him up and down with disgust.
"The money! The clothes you bought me was with that money?" I ask dryly. I've lost my voice from all this shouting already. I feel my head begin to pound. I lock my eyes shut to try and cool down. I open them back up and see him nodding his head.
"Why would you do that?" I shout. He pulls me to his chest and I push and punch at his him. At this point, the whole school I watching, including the teachers.
"Let me go!" He pushes my head into his chest so that I'm screaming into him. I hate this feeling now. I hate Jagger.
"Jagger, let her go." I hear Gracie whisper. Jagger slowly lets go of me. I look into his eyes once more and see pure pain. He's hurt that I now know, but I can't forgive him. Ever. There's so many things I won't be able to forgive him for, but what's the point? Because now I could never be in a relationship with Jagger. Gracie pulls me away from him and into the school.
"Are you going to be okay in homeroom?" Aubree asks and pulls me in for a hug. I'm upset with Aubree for not telling me, but I guess it isn't her business to do so. I nod and she places a small kiss on my forehead to comfort me. I take in her gesture and sigh.
"Okay. If you need anything, we're here for you." She smiles. I want to smile back, but I can't. I walk into my homeroom and find a small book shelf I can sit by in the corner to hide my self. I push my back against the wall and slide down to the floor. I rest my eyes and listen to the teacher talk. I'm too tired I didn't even notice Jagger coming to sit by me. I want to move away from him, but I'm too drained.
"I'm sorry." He whispers and puts his hand on my thigh. I can't even move his hand away. What is wrong with me?
"I don't want you spending that money with anyone but your self." I snap at him and turn my head away from him.
"I won't. I promise. I'll get an actual job." He jeans in and whispers into my ear.
"You said you would tell me everything." I turn and look into his eyes. "How can I be with someone who does drugs?" I add. His face goes pale and his eyes go bulge.
"You think I do the drugs? No, Rae, I just sell them and I have my reasons for it." He turns his whole body to look at me.
"Excuse me? Jagger and Masie, no talking." The teacher yells at us, but Jagger doesn't listen.
"I know a couple of jobs. I'm sure I can get you one too." Is he serious? The only reason he could get me a job is probably because he runs the streets.
"No. I don't need you anymore, Jagger." I finally have enough strength to move. I sit at an empty table and put my head down. I'm glad he didn't move by me because I'm seriously done talking to him this time. I don't even think I can be friends with him, or even look at him.
