-It’s Hard Being In Love With Your Best Friend-

Monday came a lot sooner than I would've wanted but it was inevitable. It had been over a month since Clark came back and as the days passed, our relationship was slowly returning to the why it was back then.

I hate to admit it but I was wrong to think that I didn't want him in my life anymore. In fact, it was the complete opposite. He had been my best friend for such a long time that even his biggest mistake didn't matter anymore.

He apologised more than he would usually do and he proved to me that he regretted doing those horrible things to me back then. I never knew why he had done it though. I can never seem to bring myself to ask him. It was weird.

As soon as I slipped into the school hallway, voices filled my ears and unwelcomed gossip etched in my mind.

Apparently, there was a new student. I didn't care since I don't really have any friends so being interested in meeting the new student would be pathetic. I mean, what if he was stupid like the rest of the population?

My classes passed by boringly and to my surprise, the excitement about the new student died down the moment Clark's new single was released.

It was a hilarious sight. A fan busted through the cafeteria doors holding out her phone. It was playing The One, the first song Clark recorded for his new album.

If I had been friends with Clark's fans, I would probably brag about the fact that I was there when he was recording it and how it was somehow connected to me.

I don't know how or why the hell I'm thinking about it. It's not like he wrote the song for me. Maybe it's only special to me because it expresses exactly how I feel about Clark.

Anyway, I knew that today was its release date because Jesse practically begged me to come to Clark's radio interview. As much as I wanted to come, I couldn't.

We had a test of death (A.K.A Advanced Algebra) and it would take 50 percent of our grade. I hate the God-forsaken subject but apparently, everyone is forced to study it so I have no choice.

I was quietly making my way towards the exit when my phone rang. Cursing whoever was on the other line, I rummaged through my bag for the damned contraption.

Who in the fudge balls is this? Can't they wait until after I go inside my car? Its a hundred degrees out here!

I wrinkled my nose when I read the name 'Jesse' flashed across the screen. How he even got my number in the first place was beyond me.

"What?" I answered irritated, continuing my way towards my car.

"Ah Jade. Always happy to hear from me, I see." Jesse commented sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes, "What do you want?"

"Come down to the studio." he ordered.

"In case you've forgotten, you're Clark’s manager, not mine."

"Just head over."

I snorted, "Too bad, huh? Gotta go." I said, shutting my phone.

I started my engine, backed out of the parking lot and onto the road.

Jesse was insane if he thought I would do what he asks me to do. For some reason, he was acting like I really do work for them. Yeah right. Me working under Clark? Not going to happen. Not even if his whole fandom knelt before me. I'm that stubborn.
