Hard Knock Life
~Chapter
One
"No Selina, I
don't feel like going to the beach today. I still don't
feel good." I replied to Selina's begging over the phone. I was
looking for something to wear in my walk in closet when
my Blackberry rang and sure enough, it was Seli with
plans for the day.
"Jess come on! You
need to get out. I've hardly seen you since..." she
trailed off. I knew what she meant though, ever since my break up
with Jerrid I've been a complete
mess. I did my best to get over him, after all it was only 3
months that we had gone out, but everyone was telling me he was
my first love, and it was true. No one made me feel the way he
did.
"Sel... ugh, okay maybe. What were you
planning on doing to-"
"Yay! That's my Jess! Okay meet us at
Starbucks in an hour." she cut me off, totally thrilled.
"Okay okay, what do
I all need to bring... wait us?" I asked.
"Yeah, our group
hangouts, like we always used to do." I could hear her
pouting over the phone.
"Alright," I
sighed. "We're going to the beach though
right?"
"You bet girl! Bring
your cutest bikini and that sexy body of yours!"
"Alright Seli, as you wish." I laughed and
hung up.
Now I really needed to
find something to wear. I sat in my closet for a couple more
minutes then decided on my white Hollister short shorts, a bright
blue tub top with sequence and my purple string bikini that
complimented my tan. I applied some water proof eye liner and
mascara. I kept my dark brown hair naturally straight and glanced
in the mirror, and sighed. Jessica Gilbert, PrestonHigh's junior golden girl as
of September. I had always been the popular one, the one
that every guy wanted to date and every girl felt superior if
they made it with our group. But with great popularity
comes drama and heartbreak. My family was rich because my
mom was a nurse and my dad deals drugs. Neither of them are home
very often so it was just her and her black lab
Sahara. I glanced one more time in the mirror and
left to Starbucks which was only a few blocks away. I scanned the
place and smiled when I found my friends. All of my closest
friends were there, Selina,
Toria, Nathan, Amanda, Josh and
Keith.
They all smiled
and signaled me to come over, and once I got
there it was hug after hug.
"Oh my gosh girl, it feels like forever since we
seen you!" screeched Toria with pure
joy.
The guys came and gave me hugs too but before me and Nathan
hugged we just looked at eachother.
It used to be really awkward between us because we were best
friends, then we dated and broke up later so we didn't know
how to react around eachother. But we were clear
of that now.
"Missed
yah Jess, you little devil." he chuckled messing
up my hair and pulling me in for a hug. I smiled at everyone, it
felt good to be reunited again.
"So, where to
now?" I asked.
