NOT SORRY I WANT YOU BACK

One could start with the laughing or bullying from almost everyone in Robson High. One might even begin with the mocking or the alarm clock, ringing violently on the nightstand. But Jade didn't mind any of those it had become a regular. Ever imagined going to school on the first day and almost everyone decides to pick on you just because you decided to stick to your book and mind your own business, especially the school, prestigious April Wilson who finds it funny to constantly make her life seem like an upgraded hell? Well Jade didn't find it funny at all, she was living in a bad book. She dragged herself off her bed feeling the same way she always felt on a school day, "Ready to learn and be doomed" all at once. Anyone would feel that way if they were in her shoes, she wondered why they had to do all that stuff to a girl who barely did anything wrong to them in her whole life, and then she comes back home to sleep and her silly alarm clock finds it funny to disturb her.She glare

She woke up to the familiar smell of bleach and medicines of different sorts. She inhaled it in and let it linger before releasing it. As weird as it was, there was something about the scent of bleach and medicine that made her feel better.Bleach because, it cleans and scrubs the dirt, even if it has been there for a long time. Medicines because they relieve pain. It could be a good or bad pain, but still all the same. She inhaled more this time, taking in the scent she had grown to love, and not getting enough of it, she was starting to feel safe and out of harm.She could still remember all those times when she would get tired of being bullied and being picked on, she would run in with her tiny legs and hide in one of the wards, just inhaling the smell of bleach and medicines. How could she forget the smell of hospitals?At the thought of that, something snapped in her head. She was in a hospital room and the hospital bed, she wasn't there to visit anyone, she was the patient herse

Jade was feeling more relaxed as she walked into her green-themed bedroom with support from her mother. As usual, her mother was late to get her out of the hospital, but she never complained. Her stay in that sorting hospital room was comfortable enough.She missed her bed, her books, and even her bathroom. Although she felt comfortable in her hospital room like always, she felt more relaxed in her room the most. It was a place where she could do whatever she wanted without judging stares or "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU JADE?" constantly.She sighed at the relaxing softness of her queen-sized bed. "Honey, I will be right back okay? Let me fix dinner quickly" her mum said after helping her lay comfortably on her bed, giving her a peck on her cheek quickly almost as though she'd rather not."I want you to know am always here, and you can tell me anything at all, okay?" Says a mother who was too busy with sales to attend to her poor child for twelve straight hours. Jade only nodded her head

Jade bounced to the front door after parking her car. She waved at the guard standing close to the gate, he seemed surprised but waved back at her hurriedly as though if he wasted a second it would become an illusion. She smiled, pushed the door open and sighed immediately. "Home". She could smell the aroma of baked macaroni, ham, rice and beans, apple crumble cake, and steak as soon as she walked in. Her father was a famous chef and he owned a good number of restaurants around. Her stomach grumbled loudly"Now was that an earthquake?""Hey Dad, " she wished she could run to her father, like a five-year-old, hug him tight, and tell him all about today but who was she kidding? "School better today?" he asked and she hid her blush in her hands as she whispered "I guess.""I want to hear all about it. " He replied. "Not a chance Dad" Jade replied. "Then I guess there's nothing for you here. " Lucas McKenzie said, blowing the air to her nose in an attempt to make her take in the smell m

Embarrassed with a bruised little ego, and embarrassed again, that's how she felt. She couldn't even imagine what the tall guy must be thinking about her. Her cheeks heated for the tenth time. The boy chuckled and drew closer to her. She let out a small gasp. The boy was more than beautiful, with dark blue eyes, black hair, and a chiseled face. "Wait, these are strange thoughts," she thought and knitted her brows. "What strange thoughts?" The guy asked.She would have palmed her face for saying that out loud, but her position wouldn't let her. She had been talking to her inner self since she discovered she didn't belong with lots of people save for her family of four with her included, and never had anything slip from her mouth before, so why now of all times?She started to explain or make an excuse, but she stuttered hopelessly and couldn't say a complete word. "What useless mouth," she thought to herself again. The pretty boy barked out in laughter and closed the remaining distan
