Chapter Seventy

JADE'S POV

"You are dating Caden fucking Adam Jones now?"

This is the first thing Ches yells at me as we finally settle down for lunch outside, sitting on the grass just behind the school's dumb idea of a friendship bench.

You know, just a regular bench you're supposed to sit on and make friends with the first person that comes by or joins you on it, or some shit like that

"Calm down Ches," I tell her, laughing nervously for lack of anything better to do with myself.

This morning has been bat shit crazy and nothing like I expected following how it started out back home, annoying yes, but rather quiet.

I rest my back against the foot of the bench, my eyelids dropping shut briefly, my mind reaching for any semblance of sanity I have left.

"There's nothing to be calm about girl," She screeches, leaving her food untouched even as I nibble on mine.

"I leave you alone for not up to a couple hours and next thing I know, you and lover boy are an item. Girl, I deserve all the juicy details."
