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,
Preston High'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. Her family was rich because her mom was a nurse and
her 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.
