When things are going good, something bad always ruins the moment. It happened with Edward. It happened now.

I wake up in the school clinic. Principal Peabody is next to me, looking worried. She squeezes my hand a little when she sees me awake.

"What time is it?" I ask weakly.

Principal Peabody smiles at me wearily and says, "It's 6:27PM, Jade. You blacked out for about 4 hours, but all is well. I stayed a little later than I'm supposed to, to tell you this: you, because of attempted murder, are supposed to be expelled. But, from woman-to-woman, thanks to your comparison... I understand why you reacted the way you did, even if you took it a little too far. So I will not expel you. However, I want to keep my job, so I will have to suspend you. The minimum amount of days--which is the amount of days you will be expelled-- is 5 days, one school week. This starts Monday. Today is Friday, so I want you to go home, tell your mother, and reflect on your actions. And please, come back with a better attitude. I'd like to keep peace and harmony in this school." She smiles at me, squeezes my hand one last time, and marches on out.

I sigh and sit up. And guess who is sitting in the chair next to my cot?

"Hey," he says awkwardly.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1SX1CyK6G
"Hey. Why are you here?" I ask suspiciously.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjuPgQZYKE
He doesn't know what to say, but he eventually comes up with something.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmXvklPrNo
"I think the clinic is the only place where they treat stabs and bruises. At least on campus," he says nonchalantly.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LbEj79HHm
"Honestly. Why are you here?" I ask.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPWhGIYdo4
"This is the clinic, and I needed--" he starts.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh5D4bwsTe
But I interrupt. "No. The nurse left forever ago. So why did you stay?"
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2oN5Cftyt
He doesn't respond... At first. After a while, he speaks.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2qBXJLRoe
"I was worried. I didn't know if you were going to wake up. I didn't want to leave without knowing if you were even alive. But now I got that doubt out of my head so I'll be on my way." He gets up angrily.

Jesus I feel guilty! Edward would be disappointed! Edward-- oh, forget Edward! He can't help me! He's oblivious to this all! Ugh!

"Lawrence."
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJbilyz5Kb
He turns to look at me. Those eyes...
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwTHMLZgCz
"Yeah?"
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcjTJg2Y62
"I'm... really... really sorry. I can't express it through words. I took it a little too far. I tend to hate anyone that throws reality into my face, and I still... haven't really accepted this as a true event. Sometimes I try to convince myself that he'll jump outta nowhere and tell me it was a prank. And--"

"Jade. I'M sorry. I let my tongue free and it's my fault this happened. I'm sorry for hurting you like that, and throwing it in your face. I deserved what I got." He met my eyes, and our eyes locked.

After what seemed like eternity, I get up from the cot and walk up to him.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3fS3aAKb7
"I think we got off on the wrong foot. Let's start over." I clear my throat and continue. "Hi! My name is Jade Lillian. And you?" I grin as if nothing had happened.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Alw1f9ZZV
He shakes his head and chuckles, but he plays along. "I'm Lawrence Williams. I'm new and I'm 17 and as you can see, I'm goth." He grins back and shakes my hand.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKxZhpNDHo
"I'm 16 and I'm emo. So we're cool." I can't help but giggle. Wow! It feels so good! I haven't giggled since...
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLoUZWQBuq
Oh but this is when the fun begins.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjOz7t32QZ
It turns out we're locked inside the school for staying a little after 6:30PM. Nobody warned us!
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8GNjxbEBZ
And the funny part? It's Friday. And school starts Monday.
598Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8EssOZJbt
3 whole days... Locked in...
