JADE'S POV
I have about a million and one things I want to tell at him right now, and trust me, not half of them is nice.
But at the moment, I'm choosing staying alive first.
My hands are clutching hard around his torso as he ferries us away at break neck speed, obviously exploiting my dislike for both speed and bikes.
His might be all expensive and beastly, but it scares me all the same.
I hated that I couldn't do anything except hold on tight and pray that we get quickly to the god-knows-where destination he has in mind and let me off his beast.
Finally, my prayers take hold and the answer comes in the form of the Jones home.
Oh God, this is like the last place on the planet that I want to be now and I'm sure Caden knows that.
At least the stupid smirk on his face as he helps me down says so.
A lot has changed around here since the last time I visited.
That was years ago, I think, since the day they packed
CADEN'S POVI brought her over so we can go over the mess she's stuck in, but I might as well have brought her here for Matt.Nigga can't keep his eyes off her and why that pisses me the hell off, I don't kn..... you know what, I know but I've chosen denial over truth.I'm beginning to regret getting him involved in the first place and going ahead to invite him to my house.I ignore his loose focus and wandering eyes and turn my attention to Jade.She didn't look averse to the obvious attention pouring in from Mr lover boy over there and it caused a stir inside me.I don't want to admit it, but I felt jealous, jealous at the small smile gracing her lips at Matt's antics."What are we doing here?"That had been her question right?"Sit down Jade, we've got to talk."She was hesitant, even as she final
JADE'S POV"Lizzy"I muttered to myself, I'd almost let these past few days rob me of the fact that Caden does have a girlfriend.Almost.Well, my bad and not anymore because she's here stamping ownership all over him like I'm about to steal him or something.You can keep him sis, no matter how much I want him, I won't fight over a guy that barely notices I have boobs and not a rock solid chest.And hey, there are barely any female legs in town that he's not been between, I like being the exception too much to fight.I didn't hear what she told him, mostly because I didn't want to, but the smacking kiss she pressed to his lips was kinda hard to miss.I try to convince myself that the only feeling that spiked inside me was indifference but it was hard believing it."Liar." My subconscious accused having a field day in my head.I watched him let her through the door and into the house, her head held high and her nos
"Hey, pancakes."I smile at my phone as I read the text on display.Of course it's Matt, the only person I know on the face of earth with an aversion to pancakes.Like, how can you not like pancakes?Who dosen't?Nobody, except him.He literally hates the thing and when I raised a campaign on how that's like the best breakfast ever, especially when dripping with syrup, he took to calling me 'pancakes'.Over the past couple of days, since the day he dropped me off, I've kinda kept in touch with him, turns out he's really a cool person.If only I wasn't already so taken by the one guy that barely acknowledges the fact that I'm female and not a dude, i could easily fall for him."Miss me already, do you?" I text back, falling into bed with a goofy smile on my face."Haa, you wish."Maybe I do.It'd be nice to know that someone actually pays me a thought every once in a while.The buzzing of my ri
MATT'S POVWatching her eat her ice cream excitedly, like a five year old on her best flavor, did things to me.Things it had no business doing.The uncontrolled little moans escaping her as she gushed on how good it is, wasn't even helping my course.She looks so innocent and carefree sitting with me here and doing nothing else except trying to beat her own ice cream eating record.She loves the damn thing so much it's a surprise she's not fat from consuming lots of it."So, you convinced yet?" I asked her, pulling on my self-control to keep from leaning in and kissing off the bit hanging off the corner of her lips.That would probably creep her out and send her running from me forever.My eyes travel back up her face, watching her lids drop close and her face tilt to the soft glow of the sun.She's like the grown-ish version of adorable and a really cool person to be with and it makes me wonder why I waited so long to
JADES POV I had a very wonderful day with Matt, made me forget my problems and all. But the moment I spot my parents car in the driveway, it all comes rushing back. Amber's probably already back looking for blood and it's the last thing I need. I muster up a smile as I wave him off, watching him drive off. If only Caden and Amber can be half as nice as Matt is to me, my life would be a whole lot easier. I stand outside on the porch for a full minute, getting mentally ready for this, before I pull the door open and let myself in. True to my guess, sister dearest was sprawled on the couch, some book whose title I don't care about, held loosely in her hand. "Look who decides to finally show up, while knowing I'm coming home today." There was an obvious sneer in her voice, even while she keeps her eyes on her book. "Hi Amber." I greeted, ignoring her comment and going back upstairs.
JADE'S POV I wait a while before I take my jacket and phone and leave my room, don't ask me why I waited though. It's probably because I'm not sure how bad it's going to get going down and heading out instead of going to sit meekly at the table. But I don't think I care so much right now. I'll rather they call me rebellious and let me go than let them make me stay. I'm not in the right state of mind to handle my family now. Swallowing hard and putting on my big girl panties, I head down the stairs. What's the worst that can happen, right? "Where do you think you are going, young woman?" I pause at the sound of my mother's voice. She's the last person I want to meet right now. "Just heading out mom, I need air." I heard Amber's scoff all the way from the kitchen. For an elder sister, she's quite petty with expressions. "Dinner is in five minutes, so the only place you'd be heading to is th
JADE'S POVHe kissed me.The Caden Adam Jones, ex best friend and my forever crush, kissed me.That was hard to wrap my head around, and even after he brought me back home and left, it was all I could think about.Lying in bed, I could still feel the slow, sensual glide of his lips against mine, the sweet exploration of his tongue in my mouth.I'd never imagined my first kiss would be with him, but he made it worth it, certainly beat every of my imaginations and fantasy.He'd taken his time, like he was commiting the moment to memory, like it mattered.As if that out burst of me being the thing he'd missed the most hadn't been enough to knock me into everlasting swoon.But I know this will end up as a case of whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.By tomorrow, it'd be like tonight never happened and I'd be back to being the nobody while he shoots back into his place as king of the popular kids.It took a while,
JADE'S POVI stalk out of the gym, head held high and tears pouring down my cheeks.My nose still hurts like a bitch but the blood was no longer oozing out of my nostrils like before.I might need to go to the school's nurse after this to have it looked at though.But first I need a bath and a change from this ridiculously short and tight clothes.Whoever chose this for gym class?I go back to the changing room, taking my bag, the one containing my change of clothes and go into the bathroom.Dumping it one one of the benches, I take out my towel and bathing kit and go into my favorite bathing stall.The water hits just right in this particular one.I turn the water on, scrubbing down hard on my body to wipe every memory and dirt from that abominable class.I spent my time on it since I don't have anyone outside waiting to get in, and then I set to rinse.I turned the water on to full blast, shutting my eyes
