Chapter 6

As soon as I got to the kitchen my mom started asking me questions about last night. ~great..~ I bought as I put a scoop of breakfast soup in my mouth. "Why did you come so late? Why were you wet? Why did you ignore me?..." my mom kept talking and talking while making another breakfast soup for my roommate. "Why do I have a roommate? It sounds really weird to have a stranger in a family home" I asked while wiping my mouth. Diego glared at me. "Um how about someone you KNOW and not a STRANGER!" I looked at Diego and struck my meanest look at him. "ANSWER ME! Don't change the subject Alex!" My mom yelled at me. ~ughhhhhhhh~ "ale—" "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS CALL ME ALEX?! MY NAME IS JADE? IF YOU LIKED THAT NAME SO MUCH WHY DIDN'T YOU NAME ME THAT B***!?!" I ran to my room and shut the door. "Is she still crazy?" Mom frowned at Diego. "She just needs—" Diego interrupted "a boyfriend?" He laughed a little. "No place for rom—"

"but what if that's the problem?"

"I do—"

"She is always calm around her crushes"

"Wait She h—"

"Or maybe that's her best friend?"

"Can I t—"

"No I think she has anger issues"

Mom slammed the counter with her hand . "LET ME SPEAK" I could hear there conversations while I'm leaning on the door. I glared at the closet and the window. Closet, window, closet, window. Then I get the idea. A bad idea. "Maybe she just needs time alone? Like living herself? Or maybe with someone?" I could here Diego asking questions. I get up change into light colored jeans, with a shirt that says ¥NO PLACE FOR ROMANCE ON THIS GIRL¥. I grabbed my book bag and put many things in it. Like a blanket, pillow, flash light, cross, sketch book, pencils, 10 battery boxes (to charge my phone), 2 cables, my phone, some snacks, more snacks, and my picture of me and my best friend. My first best friend. I open the window and threw a rope down. I tied the inside end to the bed leg. "Time for sky zone skills" I say to myself. I put my phone in my pocket and threw my book bag down. He book bag makes a loud thud once it hits the ground. "Go check on Alex please" I hear my mother say. I rush down. I held on the rope and closes the window. Then when I'm on the ground with my book bag, I hear Diego calling my name. "Where are you going?!" I look up and see him pouring down. I start to run off to the abandoned cafe.
