Jade and Jordan walk into her class together, "You've been silent this whole time... is it me?" He looks at her, "Is this this about the..." He looks around reassuring himself that nobody can hear them whisper, "Fight?" Jade smiles weakly, "No, Rilie will never talk to me, ever again... and... Taylor... She's a different story." Mrs. Tuck rudely interrupts them, standing with her arms folded and her giant mole staring right down at them. "Jade your not seated and you boy are not in my English class, leave." Jade rushes to her seat, Jordan screws up his face and looks her directly in her eyes. "I think I'm a student here but, you know, I'm not just that I'm my mother's son." She points to the door, then with the deepest voice in her vocals she says. "Get out!" Jordan slowly walks out smiling at his success to annoy her.

It's the start of the lesson and Mrs. Tuck has an announcement to make, "Students, before you leave today, I need to tell you that after your time off you will be put into classes to declare whether you're in a higher or lower set." Mrs. Tuck takes a deep breath walking over to the door, then continuing. "That is all, if you have any questions ask now... no, good." She carry's on with her lesson.

Everyone leaves muttering away, Jordan pulls Jade to the side. "Were finding Rilie." He grabs her hand pulling her down the hallway and he spots her talking with Taylor, Jade pulls her arm back in resistance. "I can't do it... they're both there." Jordan looks straight at her, "Explain your theory to Rilie." Jade looks down twisting her leg behind the other, "I-" Before she can finish, he pulls her towards them, "Rilie... can I tell you why I said that?" Rilie nods, Jade smiles at Jordan then Rilie walks alongside Jade, Jade tries to look Rilie in the face. "I promise I never meant to hurt your feelings, I just thought that Sam came to you when you were hurt or needed comfort... so I assumed that when he went, it was because you found friends... that you could trust besides him." They stop outside Rilie's class, "Oh..." She thinks for a minute, "Guess that's... a good enough excuse." Jade sighs, "That was my theory..." Jade looks up trying to smile, "I am, truly sorry." Rilie hugs her giving her no space to breathe, "No point in holding a grudge." Jade hugs her back even tighter, her bruises on her body digging in. "Thank you so much!" Rilie smiles, "You have class, off you go." Jade waves and starts walking away, she peeks in the computer room then steps inside. "I had to sort something out." Mr. Marvin sighs and points her to take a seat, She sits in her seat right next to Jordan. "You and Rilie sort it out?" Jade nods while staring towards the teacher.

The teacher hands out the task sheet during the fourth period. "Class get started, this will be on the test next week." Jade scans the work sheet and sighs deeply, Jordan watches her. "What is it?" Jade shows him her task sheet, "They purposely gave me this one." Jordan snatches it out of her hand, "It's just words..." Jade sighs, "Yeah..." she mumbles under her breath, "To you..." Then she does the work in silence until the end of the class.

As Jade gets up to leave Jordan grabs her arm, she removes her arm from his grip. "It's just words, why do you care so much?" Jade looks down at him, "You can smile or laugh it off but I..." She stops herself from talking before she regrets it, "I just can't!" Jordan pulls her close, "Don't get mad." He chuckles, stroking her arm gently. "I ain't mad, I just can't take it anymore..." She rolls her eyes back trying to hold the tear that had now escaped from her, "Look, being bullied isn't my idea of fun." She pushes him away and she walks out the class trying to hold herself together, she walks into the bathroom and splashes cold water over her eyes. "Oh look, if it isn't Miss Fend. Wait, girls I think she changed her last name... Mrs. Stumps." Jade turns her head towards Katie and cuts her eye's at her and her followers, "That's not my name... I know when you two were together you probably stole his last name but, I'm not obsessed with him, I'm not even with him." Katie walks right up to her face, giving her no breathing space and then says with anger in her tone. "That wasn't me... but darling, keep being a skank." Taylor pushes the door open, "Really? But you're the only skank I see, Katie." Katie turns with a pleasant smile, "Awh, defending the defenseless." Jade pushes past Katie and when she walks outside the toilet doors she takes many deep breaths, picking at her skin over her school uniform damaging her skin even more. "I hate this place." She calms herself down and stands in the hallway skipping lunch.

The bell rings giving her quite a scare, she waits for a bit then runs to class making sure she isn't late, she peeks though then walks in and sits in her space. "Hello class, let me just do the register sit tight." The computer and Katie were the only thing making noise, once the teacher was done she smiles and looks around the class. "We will be learning things that will be on the test, I repeat, will be on the test. So I ask of you all, to pay great attention to this." Everyone becomes silent but Jade can hear teeth clashing together as they move, it was obvious who it was.

The class ends and Jade walks towards her detention, her phone vibrates in her pocket and she stops to look at it. "Huh?" She unlocks her phone and presses onto the message, a tear runs down from her eye as she tries to reply but she puts her phone away quickly, she tries to calm down and walks to her detention. Taylor spots Jordan in front of her then taps him, "Where is Jade?" He smirks and doesn't respond, Taylor looks at him. "Where is she?" Jordan looks at her, "Where does she go every single day after school." She remembers and runs off banging the doors against the walls, Preston watches from a distance and then walks over when she disappears. "What did she want?" Jordan laughs, "She was wondering where you was, she needed to find a hiding spot." Preston glances into his face and sighs, "Oh, right." Jordan hits him in the head, "I'm joking, she was looking for Jade." He chuckles and flicks his hair back, they walk out the gate together. "Aren't you going to wait for your girlfriend." Preston laughs, "She's not m-" Preston smiles and finishes his sentence, "Your girlfriend." Jordan hits him, "Just find me a fight for tomorrow." Preston nods, "Bye!" Preston walks off smiling cheekily at passing girls, Jordan flicks his hair back and walks off. Jade looks outside her detention room spotting Taylor, once the detention is over she walks over to her. "Why are you here?" Taylor looks her straight in the face, "Can we talk... Have you b-" Jade stops her, "I need to go, sorry." Jade speed walks down the hallway and out the door as quick as she possibly could, she stopped to take a deep breaths when she gets to the gates. She slowly walks to the train station, she looked at her phone taking a breath, and puts it back in her pocket when her train came to a stop. When she got on the train she watched a little boy get praises as he read, and as it reached her stop all the relief was off her chest as she stepped off.
