Secret Love Affair

Chapter 1

It's the first day of school and mom is yelling up to me, "Wake up! You're going to be late!" I slowly roll myself out of bed, about to get dress, when all of a sudden my lil sis runs into my room. She is screaming so loud that half the block could probably hear her. "Make him stop! Make him stop!" she was wailing. Then, Mark bursts into my room with a rubber snake in his hand chasing her around my bed.

Mark and Claire, lil sis, are twins and never get along. Claire has red curling hair and yellowish-green eyes, while Mark has wavy brown hair, like mine, and dark brown eyes, like my stepdads. They are the product of mom's 2nd and current marriage to Paul. My dad died when I was 8 and we moved here to be closer to family. He had bluish-grey eyes, like me, and black hair. I really miss him. My mom has brown hair and green eyes, and Paul has bright red hair and brown eyes.

Now back to the current problem. "Can you guys get out?" I ask with hope," I'm kind of getting dressed here." But, they wouldn't leave."Mom! Get the trouble twins out of my room!" Next thing you know Paul is grabbing the twins by the wrist, telling them, "Let's go eat breakfast and leave Jade to get dress"

I throw on a pair of dark blue jeans and a green blouse. I quietly go down the stairs and then run to the door, before my mom would notice, but I got cot. "Honey, aren't you going to eat breakfast," my mom said while holding a bowl of oatmeal. "No, I um...," I couldn't think of an excuse," got to get to school early." "If you wait a minute, I can drive you," offered Paul. "It's ok, but I... need some fresh air," I hate lying to the rents, but at least they're gullible. "Ok, honey," mom said as I was half way out the door.

While I was walking to school, Ricky came and tapped me on the shoulder. Rick is my boyfriend and has blonde hair and brown eyes. "Hey, can I walk with you or are you still mad at me?" he asked with a pouty face. "I can never stay mad at you," I said and took his hand. About half way to school, Ricky ruined the peaceful moment, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kiss her." Damn it not this conversation again. "But you did," I said with fury, "Anyway, I don't want to fight right now. I just want to go to school." "Can we at least talk at lunch?" "Fine, see you at lunch.

When we finally got to school, Christy, Jess and Samantha all yell," Jade!" and drag me away. Yes, no more of Ricky's sorry. "I can't believe your still talking to him," whispered Christy. "Mind your own business," snapped Jess, "she can do want she wants." "I heard that he kissed Alice," Samantha said a little too mad. "Ya, Jack caught them, when he was going to her house," I said very sadly, "he sent me pictures of it, and said that my boyfriend better never laid a hand on her again" "Sorry, Jade," Christy said sincerely.

If you're lost let me caught you up. Alice and Jack have been going out since grade 6. Christy and I have been friends since grade 2, when I moved here, and she has a new crush each month. Jess, Samantha and I became friends in grade 6, when we had the same teacher. I've been going out with Ricky since his 13th birthday party.

"So who has what?" asked Jess. I have English with Jess, Gym with Samantha and Drama with Christy and Math with no one so far. "Why don't we get to class, so we can get some seats in the back," I said to Jess. "Ok, see you guys later."

In English, an old man in a sweater vest and thick glasses, walked into the class."Hi, everyone, "he said on hiss way to the desk at the front."My name is Mr. Lyons," he said as he wrote it on the blackboard. Jess whispered in my ear, "He's probably older then English it's self." I started laughing and Mr. Lyons asked, "Is there something funny back there, ladies?" At the same time we said, "Nothing, Mr. Lyons." We spent the rest of class listening to the teacher explain the course.

Buzz... "Yes, class is finally over," said a familiar voice it's Jack. "I know I thought it would never end," Jess said I an exhausted voice. "So what do you two lovely ladies have now?" "I have gym" "and you, Jess?" I've got Geo." "Me too," Jack said with a huge smile on his face. "Ok, I'll see you two after torture class."As I turned the corner I bump into Samantha. "Hey, Sam," I say as we are picking up our books. "Hey, so are you excited about Gym?" she asks as we start walking to class. "No, it's basically legal torture. "

When we got to the gym there was a blonde woman sitting on the bench, after everyone got there, she started to talk. It's a little hard to under stand her because she has a really strong French accent. "Bonjour, I'm Miss Gagnon," she said and I think she then started talking about the course outline. "Ok now that that's out of the way we can start the five minute run" Yes the only part of Gym I'm good at. We all started to run and eventually I lapped everyone. "Arête!" Miss Gagnon shouted, but no one understood. "I think she means stop," Samantha called out. "Thank you, since there's only half the period left, you guys can have a free period. Tomorrow, we'll be starting basketball." Awesome, now I can go bug Jess.

I walked slowly passed Jess's class, trying to get her attention. When she finally notices me, she asked the teacher to go to the washroom. "Hey, why aren't you in class?" asked Jess. "Teacher gave us the rest of class off, so I came to hang with you." "Where's Sam?" "I don't know she left before me." Jess stopped and asked, "So, who do you think Christy likes this month?" "I think it might be Mike or Riley," I said, while laughing. "I think it's... um... Peter."

As we went into the stair well, I could see Ricky with Samantha. "Stop," I whisper to Jess. We could kind of hear them from where we are. "I didn't kiss Alice, she kissed me, Ricky was arguing with Samantha."I have proof," Samantha said pissed off. "She kissed me. I would never do that to you," he said, while hugging her. "I'll believe you but you're on a short leash." Then, the worst thing in the world happened, they kissed each other. I had to get away so I ran as fast as I could, till I reached the washroom and ran into one of the stalls. I couldn't stop crying. "Jade, are you ok?" Jess asked, while knocking on the stall door. "Ya," sniff, "I'm fine." Come out of the stall and we can go beat up Ricky together." When I open the door, Jess had her arms wide open to give me a hug. "Let's go back to class, ok?" jess said softly.

Now I know why Ricky wanted to talk to me so badly this morning. It's because he wanted to dump me.
