Chapter one: Beginning
"I love you to Chase Crawford." I reached my arm out to caress the beautifully sexy man's cheek as I sat on his lap on the dock. The smell of salty sea water and warmth of the sun surrounding us he leaned in to kiss me when I suddenly went falling off a cliff. It had to have been sixty feet I fell screaming the whole way until I saw Joe Brooks standing ready to catch me at the bottom. I landed in the cutie's arms but he felt hard like solid wood and a shrill annoying voice that sure as hell wasn't mine started screaming.
"Jamie would you wake the hell up! And seriously Chase Crawford and Joe Brooks in one dream stop being such a hoe bag. Get ready for school or your ass is going to be walking there." My older sister Amanda yelled at me with her head peeking through my door. I grabbed a huge purple pillow that had been under my head at her. She quickly shut my door and dodged my fluffy weapon. Too bad her head might have fallen off and I could ditch school without her calling mom and getting me in trouble. I stood up off the floor wondering how I got there in the first place, turning I shifted my gaze over to my awesome alarm clock covered in pictures of me and my friends. Shit! It's 7:30! I've got like ten minutes to get ready!
I quickly got dressed while simultaneously brushing my teeth. Yeah I got mad skillz like that. With not enough time to straighten my hair I left it down in its natural gentle waves and proceeded to gather all my books I left scattered on my floor from last night. I really should start packing my bag before I go to bed. But it's hard since my bed always calls to me 'Come here Jamie. Look how soft and purple I am. Snuggle with all mine softness Jamie, rest your head my pretty'. Yeah I know my bed sounds like a pedo bear that wants to rape me.
"I have officially broken my record for taking the shortest amount of time to get ready." I panted as I got into Amanda's car having to run to get to her before she left me here. Again. Amanda is one of the least patient people I know.
"Well if you started waking up on time you wouldn't have to rush.” I stuck my tongue out at her.
"Well I'm sorry that I don't always remember to set my alarm." Not my fault my bed feels the need to rape me with comfort.
"You need to start Jamie because I'm not going to always be there to keep waking you up when you forget."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." I mumbled ignoring her lecture as I played with her radio turning it to my favorite radio station. I've had this lecture from her before like...oh I don't know a hundred times. I started sing along to skin and bones by romance on a rocket ship while rocking out in the passenger seat of the baby blue porche.
"I know I'm nothing but skin and bones, but I sure think you're beautiful. With your long, long hair and your big blue eyes I'm think 'bout makin' you mine tonight..."
"I'm serious Jamie you need to be more responsible cause when I go off to college next year you’re going to be the big sister." She told me but I just continued to sing.
"Hush your lips, I'm about to speak up. If I talk real slow, do you think you can keep up with me; this time am I out of line? I'm trying to be a gentleman so-" Amanda put her hand over my mouth and yelled at me to shut-up. So I did what anyone else would do, I licked her hand.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!! Jamie that is disgusting! Why the hell would you lick me! Ugh!" She wiped her hand off on her gray sweater and then shut off the radio.
" Well what do you expect if you put your hand over my mouth I'm going t- hey I was listening that!"
She turned her head to look at me while she stopped at a red light, "Bad people who lick and ignore me don't get to listen to my radio." And she returned her attention to the road.
"You let Shawn listen to your radio and I know for a fact he has done more than lick you." Never EVER go to check on your sister to make sure she is okay if you hear weird sounds coming from her room. You might find her and her boyfriend doing things you don't EVER want to know about. Some things just can't be unseen. Just thinking about it made me shiver. Gross.
She glared at me and again focused her attention on the road. She's not gonna change her mind. I blew out a loud breath and stared out the window pouting.
After a long twenty minute drive we finally got to school. Both me and Amanda don't go to a normal school though like most people. We attend a trade school with like fifty-million different shop classes. Amanda's in Cosmetology and I'm in the Culinary Arts program.
What I love most about this school is all the teachers are awesome and as a junior I get to spend more time in the kitchen than I do in the classroom. The juniors and seniors run the restaurant we have built in our school. It looks awesome we hired decorators with the money we earned, planned the menu's and just recently we opened a pastry shop. There's also a salon, auto shop, theater, a day care center etc. Only downside is we have to wear gray and blue plaid uniforms. I'm not a fan of skirts but it's worth it to go here.
I hopped out of the car and told Amanda I'd see her later. Rushing to my locker so I wouldn’t be any later to start working in the kitchen I ended up dropping my books and had to pick them all up. Darn my klutziness. Once I picked up all my books and got into the locker room I changed out of my plaid skirt, button-up shirt and flats into my chef jacket and checkered pants with white sneakers. I quickly pulled my auburn hair into a pony tail and put on my "comfy chef" hat running into the kitchen.
"Hey Dusty, what’s up?" I asked one of my closest friends Dustin Myers as he walked out of the bakery towards me holding two cases of cupcakes.
"Good your finally here I need you to deliver these to child development they're for Mrs. Cardin’s birthday Sammy ordered them for the occasion." I looked at him exasperated.
"Why do I have to deliver them? You know Mrs. Cardin hates me ever since I accidentally poisoned her!" Last year I made a special cake for the teachers and brought a slice to Mrs. Cardin and it almost killed her because I forgot she was allergic to cinnamon. It was really bad she couldn't breathe and her face turned as red as a penguin with sunburn. The paramedics had to be called and everything, ever since then the woman has hated me. It didn't help that she didn't like me that much before the whole incident.
"Oh stop being such a baby and just bring them to Sammy they're a surprise so you won't even have to give them to Cardin or talk to her. Now hurry we've got a bunch of administrators from the middle schools coming for breakfast and we need to make it special as always." Dustin pushed the cupcakes into my hands and disappeared into the walk-in fridge.
"At least I don't cry when people talk about ponies!" I yelled at the door and heard him start to whimper. When we were five our parents got a pony for my birthday party and let’s just say things didn't so well when he went for his turn to ride them. Now he is completely terrified of them and just the mention of them upsets him. I rolled my eyes and made my way over to the day care where I know Sammy would be. She just loved being with the kids she spent as much time with them as she could even when she was supposed to be in class.
I walked down the hall with the cases and attempted to entertain myself by whistling. Making idiotic faces when I remembered I don't know how to whistle. I'm such a genius. Of course I wasn't going to give up though.
"What's with the fish faces Jay?" He chuckled.
I froze with my lips still looking retarded just staring at Alex. Once I realized what I was doing I stopped but still didn't say anything as my heart began to flutter in my chest and a light blush rose to my cheeks. Great now I'm embarrassed and pink.
"What's the matter cat got your tongue?" When I still didn't reply flapping my mouth open then shut not knowing what to say he added, “Okay...well I'll see you later, I guess?" And he moved to walk around me.
"Mexican unicorns snort burritos." When I'm really nervous I tend to say random things while normal people just tend to giggle or stutter. Lucky them.
"All right then hopefully they see the wrong in their ways before they end up in rehab." He chuckled and walked away down the hall while I just stared after him.
Jamie you are an idiot I thought as processed what just happened. Alex the dreamiest guy in school, Alex the guy I have been secretly crushing on since freshmen year just talked to me and I made a totally ass of myself. Like a completely rational person I set the cupcakes down on half wall railing thing next to the slight ramp in the hall way and slammed my head against the wall.
"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" With each word I continued to hit my head against the wall for some reason it made me feel better. I'm pretty sure something is not right with me.
"Stop hitting your head Miss. Anderson before you either give yourself a concussion or die."Mr. Loopid, the head of student activities, blandly said as he walked passed me.
"Yes sir.” I mumbled picking back up the cupcakes and returned to my earlier mission.
"Kimberly if you don't stop pinching Thomas you’re going to have to go back in time out missy." Sammy scolded a little girl with dark wavy hair wearing an annoyed expression.
"Hey Sam, I got the stuff." I said in a creepy voice as I stalked towards her making a pedo face as I did.
She looked at me and started laughing. "You sound like your selling drugs." I laughed with her as she handed me the money for the cupcakes. “Why is your forehead all red? Where you hitting your head against something again?" I nodded as put down the cases and took the money from her. She asked me what happened and I told her about the stupid little thing with Alex in the hallway.
"Sweetie, that was so not worth hitting your head over. Alex isn't all that great trust me."
"Le gasp!!!! You take that back!" I said giving her the evil eye.
"No cause I'm right he is a total man whore who can't stick to one girl for more than two weeks. Either way embarrassing yourself like that is not worth hitting your head over."
"Yes it is, even though you don't like him I do and now he probably thinks there's something wrong with me upstairs if you know what I mean."
"Jamie we all know your special you slamming your head into stuff every time you do something stupid is proof of that. We all do stupid things in front of people we like just not all of us talk about Mexican unicorns. Take your little brother Austin for example every time I come over your house he goes all gaga over me. It's probably just his little thirteen year old hormones but none the less he always makes a fool of himself.
"I guess..."I sighed and rubbed my head. I really need to stop doing that before I get brain damaged more than I already am.
"So are you ready for this Saturday?” Sammy asked me changing the subject as she walked into the classroom part of the daycare hiding away the cupcakes.
I followed behind her and asked, “What’s this Saturday?" She looked at me like I really was stupid which only confused me more.
"It's your birthday sweetie." She said slowly like I was stupid with her hands placed on my shoulders I swatted at them and frowned at her.
"I was trying to forget about that." I sighed again.
My parents are major workaholics and are employed at some huge company so for my sixteenth birthday they had to go on a business trip to Japan. To make up for it they wanted to throw me and I quote a "super awesome seventeen". Of course they ignore me when I try to tell them I don't want a party. I’m not a big party person and just because our family's well off I don't like spending money ridiculously or being spoiled like those brats on TV. For my birthday I would much rather have my friends over to hang out at my house than go to a club with...well the entire school.
"Jamie its okay to let them spend money on a big party for you at leastly once. You know that they're doing it because they love you and they want it to be special." She gave me a friendly smile which I returned halfhearted and patted my shoulder. I told her I had to get back to the kitchen and left with a headache I’m guessing from my banging secession in the hall. Wow that doesn’t sound dirty at all.

I skipped to the cafeteria from English singing a tune I had stuck in my head and made my way to my table. Earning a few weird looks from some teachers who obviously don't understand how much better it is to sing and skip to your destination. I was greeted with a bunch of heys from my friends with a few hugs.
My usual group of friends that sit with me are Dustin, Samantha, Kassandra, Phil, Jessica and Liam.
"So what’s happening people?"
"Jessica's pregnant." She punched Phil and yelled at him for saying that.
"I am not pregnant! You are dip shit!"
"Do I even want to why you guys are arguing over whose pregnant?"
"You probably don't they've been at this since second period. Do you have any food?" Liam asked.
"Yeah I can't really eat anything after the meeting this morning so you can what's left." I said as I took out a container of filled bacon, eggs, pancakes, sausage and bagels from my tote bag and handed it to him. He grabbed a bagel, bit into it and moaned.
"These bagels kick ass and your pancakes they are so fluffy it's like eating a cloud made out of a pancake!" I laughed leave it to Liam to compare pancakes and clouds.
"You know Liam if you keep letting Jamie feed you that food all the time you’re going to get fat." One of my best friends Kassandra said as she snatched a piece of bacon from Liam's hand and everyone at the table followed suit stealing away his food.
"Awwweeee! Come on guys I'm starving!" Liam pouted and everyone just laughed, the poor boy is always hungry.
Kassandra took her place next to me and gave me a hug, "Oh Jamie my dear, it has been far too long since we have last met." Dramatically she said as I laughed at her. Kassandra is the theater program and absolutely loves being on stage. Honestly she seems like she was born to be on stage she is an amazing actress with a beautiful singing voice.
"I'm guessing theater put you in a good mood today huh?" Kassie usually isn’t happy till she’s had theater class. Being on stage helps her forget about her awful home life, no one should got through what she does. We both left our stuff at the table going to get in line to get our lunches with Sammy saving our spots. Even though I'm not hungry might as well get something to drink. I need my chocolate milk.
"Yeah were hoping to do a little something for the children's hospital like Aladdin or maybe the Wizard of Oz to help cheer them up. If I were them I wouldn't be too happy knowing that I could die any second that's just too much for a little kid to handle you know."
"Yea it rea-"
"Well right now I can tell you who should die this second for being so dame hideous." I heard Tristan and her clones snicker behind me as she cut off what I was saying. "Seriously who dressed you this morning your grandmother?" Kristy added.
Tristan Waters, Kristy Brook, and Nicole Saunders have all three harassed me since grade school because my parents have more money than all three of theirs combined which keeps them from being the richest girls at school. I like to refer to the three of them as the bitchy trio because that's exactly what they are. Yeah I know it’s a really lame name to refer to them as but they don’t deserve a cool one.
"That makes no sense what so ever since everyone is wearing the same exact darn thing seeing as we have uniforms." Sammy told them with a 'are you seriously that stupid' face.
"Why don't you and your little clones get the hell away from me Tristan before you put me in a bad mood and I kick all ya'lls asses. Just because Jamie doesn't leave her shirt button down to wear everything is hanging out or have her skirt to wear it looks like a dame belt doesn't make her ugly at all." Neither Kassie nor Sammy could stand them either mostly because they couldn't tolerate how stupid they were and the fact that they like to target their best friend. Points at myself.
"You’re right it's more or less her face that makes her ugly." Tristan sneered, “But there is a difference some people can't pull off certain looks for example you Kassandra the plaid skirt and shirt can't hide the fact that you a total slut. You can't be blamed for it though since that's a learned behavior from your mother." I put my hand on Kassie's shoulder and tried to calm her cause she was five seconds from beating Tristan into a pulp. If there is one thing you don’t do it’s talk about her family.
"Kassie calm down and just ignore her, she's so not worth getting suspended over." I whispered in her ear.
"Honey trust me I'm worth more than you can afford with your broke ass." Tristan made a face at Kassie which didn't help with cooling her down.
"Tristan can you please just leave us alone we weren't bother you so can you please return the favor." I told her.
"Awe. Sweet innocent Jamie who does nothing wrong yea right, I know you were trying to steal my boyfriend, I heard you were talking to him in Chemistry." Nicole said glaring at me.
“He’s my lab partner I was just working on our assignment with him. I wasn't trying to do anything."
"Oh so what he's not good enough for you to want him then bitch. I know you were trying to steal him from me and I'll tell you now it won't work."
"I'm not saying that it's just th-"Then I gasped as she poured freezing cold water on me that she grabbed from some kid walking by.
"DON'T LIE TO ME BITCH! I KNOW YOU WERE TRYING TO STEAL MY BOYFRIEND SO DON'T YOU EVEN DARE TRY TO LIE TO ME YOU SLUT!" She yelled at me attracting the attention of the entire cafeteria. Sam restrained Kassie as she tried to punched Nicole.
"Alright ladies knock it off!" Miss. Parker, one of the science teachers, said. “Jamie you go get changed and Nicole you can come with me and explain to Mr. Friedan why he heard you from all the way out here in his office." Miss. Parker yanked Nicole by her arm and dragged her out of the cafeteria through the exit closest to the office.
Sammy and Kassie trailed behind me as I went into the girls locker room and changed into my gym uniform. You can tell our school has a thing for uniforms, regular uniforms, gym uniforms, and different uniforms for each shop. So now I get to walk around for the rest of the day in dark blue sweatpants and a light blue t-shirt.
"Jamie why the hell do you let them treat you like that girl. You should have slapped that bitch for what she said otherwise they gonna keep thinking thay can walk all over you which ain't right." Kassie said she was staring to cool down but she was obviously still pissed about what happened. I can't blame her. She hates Tristan mainly because she loves messing with her cause her mother’s a stripper. Somehow in Tristan’s head that automatically makes Kassie a slut. Even though everyone knows the three of them have issues with keeping their legs closed. Kassie's mom is the only family she has that’s there for her and she is very protective over her and her friends.
"I don't want to make the situation worse by giving them what they want. Don’t you think they would love to see me get suspended. It would just give them more reason to mess with us." I didn't want to have to deal with them more than I already do now and it came to violence between any of us I’m not gonna be the one to start it. Grabbing my bag the three of us headed to our Spanish class we had all together as the bell rang. Like dealing with all this wasn't enough my head started to hurt again.
“Fighting with them won’t solve anything” Sammy said.
"Well I don't agree if Miss.Parker hadn't of stopped us I would have kick their asses and see how much they got to say after that." Kassie stated as she pushed open the door.
