I let my head fall to the desk which surprisingly kind of hurt. "What’s wrong" Jared asked "Well first we still have half an hour in this class” he looked at the clock and sighed "And second owwwww that kind of hurt” I said while rubbing my head. He chuckled and said "Let me see it" he put his hands around my head lifting my head up to see better "O o its fine only a little bump". One of the sophomores in the back screamed "Get that" and most of his friend erupted in laughter. "Jackass" Jared whispered. "I don't care" I laughed. After this class I had Computer science, only without Jared, This may be torture. We said our goodbyes and I went to Computer Science. This was a fairly easy and boring class. We actually had an assignment which was to write how your first day was going, I mentioned meeting Jared and how we had many classes together. I also mentioned how I thought today was going to be bad and the jackasses in my science class. the class went by fast and I was really excited cause my next class was history. So I like, sprinted to class and found Jared waiting there for me saving me a seat. This was also lunch period thank god I wont have to sit alone I thought as I was on my way to sit next to Jared. I sat down next to Jared. The history teacher seemed mellow, and she was. "Ok it may have only been like a couple periods together--" I cut Jared off with 'Three to be exact'. "Yeah...well we should hang out some time soon" He added on. I smiled, I never really hung out with anyone, and nobody ever wanted to hang out with me. "Sure" I smiled again. After the same repetitive draw on speech about class we had lunch. "Are you hungry?" Jared asked me. "No, but you can still get lunch I’m not stopping you" I stated. "Nah I’m not hungry either" he said. "Lets go outside" He added on. So we went outside and it was warm but still chilly. Me and Jared decided to walk around the school. It was a big school so I figured it would take most of the lunch period to get around it. We started walking on the path way around "Have you ever wanted to just runaway" Jared asked. I paused for a little, I was going to answer it but the fact he asked such a personal question was strange to me. "Yeah, I have" I answered him "why?" He asked. "Life’s hectic at home, it'd be nice to wonder away from it all" I told him. "Hectic?" He looked at me. "Id rather not discus it" I looked down. "Fair enough" he said and looked off. I stared at him for some time while he was off looking away. His eyes looked sad, but he had a smile. He looked back at me still staring at me. "Sorry" my eyes bugged out and I looked down again. "It's ok, I understand I’m beautiful you can't help but stare" he said sarcastically and we started laughing. "But you see, though I may be beautiful, you my friend" He leaned in closer "Are gorgeous" I made a face and laughed. "Thanks" I smiled. "You don’t have to say things like that you know" I said. “What do mean" he said while giving me a puzzled look. “That I’m gorgeous I know I’m not" I said this looking down at my feet. Jared stopped he lifted my chin up to look in my eyes and said "Sky I mean what I said and don’t you ever say you’re not cause you are." I stayed speechless, nobody ever tells me this, and it was almost to much to much to handle. I looked away. "Hey, what’s wrong, why do you think you aren’t beautiful?" He grabbed my hand and stopped us from walking. I looked up at him, I had tears and I knew I had to tell him. We sat down and started talking. He held my hand while I told him "I was abused when I was younger, and I thought it was because I was worthless and ugly, that I was beaten because I didn’t deserve to be pretty" He gently stroked my hand with his thumb. "Don't think that, because deep down inside you know your beautiful, and the only reason you were abused was because of the sick mind of the individual who bestowed pain upon you" He said. I smiled, I always smiled when I was around him. "Thanks". "Anytime" He smiled. "Now before were late, lets head back. I wiped the tears that had started coming down my face as we talked away. We started walking back and I looked at Jared who had a strange look on his face so I asked "What’s wrong". Jared shook him self clear, and looked at me. "Nothing I was just thinking." The rest of my classes were pretty much the same as all the others. The ones with Jared were great and the ones with out him bad. He meet me after school and I asked him "where do u live" he said " I live on oak street" I just stared at him wide eyed. He looked at me and said "what" I said "I live on oak street." He said "really I live at the very top I’ve never seen you" I said "that’s cause I live at the very bottom.” "Well then, here is my formal invitation to walk you home" He smiled and took my hand. Was this really happening? I couldn’t help but think this was all just a dream, but Jared seemed quite real, and so did everything else. "I'm actually glad we live on the same street, because I have no idea how to get home from the school, my aunt just kinda thought I would figure it out, oh and I mean having you on my street means I’m like 100% happier like 24/7 now" I smiled and laughed. "well" he said " I know how to get home quit well". I said "o really now well what if we get lost" he said “then at least we would be together" he said "true". Then he said "but that wont happen cause I’m extremely good at remembering directions" "and by the way why didn’t I see u in middle school." it was a small town and there was one middle school for the whole town. I said "well I went to a private school which is why a lot of the kids from there didn’t come to this high school." he said "ooo u don’t look like the type to be in private school" I said "well to tell u the truth I hated it and I chose this high school because I didn’t have to wear a uniform and most of the snobby annoying rich= kids from my old school wouldn’t be here" "what if I turned out to be snobby and rich?" Jared smirked, I looked up at him, he was good "well you can be my exception" I smiled and I saw him smile to and I felt peaceful for once. "Good, not that I’m snobby" he laughed. "So your rich?" I questioned. "Just a little bit" he tried veering off subject. "oh my god, that giant house at the top of our street that’s not..." I stopped not wanting to embarrass him "yup that big house belongs to my parents and I" "oh my god I’ve seen that house so many times and just wondered who lived in it" I said. then he said " well now u know" I looked up at him and stared and he said "what why r u staring at me like that". I said "I don’t know u just don’t look like the rich kids I know"
