Jean-Harley

Transferring to Jensen high was difficult. A lot of people stared. It was far nicer than I expected, although I didn't get my hopes up. My lawyer had enough evidence to charge for sexual assault, but because we were sedated, that was another investigation. 1 month had passed by and the school year was coming to a close. Adrian had died from her injuries and had been mauled by a bear. My father took me to the morgue to see her but... I soon as I saw her pale, stiff body, I screamed in horror and agony. I dropped to my knees and punched the floor until there was blood on my fists. Her blood was all over me. I should have found her instead of seeking refuge so selfishly. The flashes of horror sparked through my mind when I was thinking of the whole situation. I couldn't seem to remember Adrian's beautiful face that night. I only remembered deep claw marks and-

" Ms. Baton, you may have just transferred but the least I would like you to do is pretend to pay attention!" I looked at every phrase on the board. Ms. Bordeaux turned back to the board. This school was academically very strict. It was less than a month until summer break, and no student was allowed to slack off. There were 12 days of school in counting. I sighed and took out my binder and pen. I copied to appease my disapproving teacher.

The halls were crowded with many many students. Glam, emo, cultural and all roamed these halls. A pair of chocolate-gold eyes caught my attention from all the way down the wing. He looked at me, familiarly. I ran downstairs to my locker just before I caught one last glimpse of his gorgeous eyes. How could I have felt so much in that one look? He was extremely handsome and was probably taken. I shoved my binder and pens into my locker and closed it. My heart felt like it would give out, when I saw him walk up to my locker. He smiled and looked down at me " You seemed lost. Jean-Harley... Right?" His voice was even more charming and rich and deep. I nodded, pushing my hair behind my ear.

" Well, welcome. Hey, by chance do you have a sister? You look so familiar." I chuckled " I wish I did. No, it's just me and my dad." He looked at me carefully, than simply smiled. The pressure on me lifted.

" Well, Jean-Harley, would you do me the honor of having lunch with me?" My heart raced. What would I say? Was he joking? I could tell he wasn't, but I still wanted to know. He gave a melodic laugh that made my heart pang in my chest. I nodded. I took my lunch out of my locker and followed him. Why was he so attractive? And why did I follow him like a lost puppy? I could only ask myself why.

Ethan and I started going out in late June. My dad didn't trust or like him and constantly fought with Ethan. But Ethan never really said anything back.

" So what do you want to do for the summer?" I asked him quietly. It was 4am, we just sat on my rooftop and talked about random things. Nothing serious.

Ethan shrugged his shoulders. " I'm not sure. I never really do anything." He whispered. I gave him a look. He couldn't possibly stay home all summer.

" How can the hottest guy on campus do nothing all summer?" I chuckled. He looked at me with a devilish sparkle in his eyes. " Did you just subjectively title me the ' hottest guy on campus' ?" I nodded confidently. He looked away from me.

" I hope you fight this case, love. Nobody deserves what happened to you." He whispered, making eye contact. I looked at my knees. In a few hours, I would testify against My Ex, Phinneas Arden, Hunter Riddel and 4 of his other friends for raping Adrian and I. And for leaving Adrian for dead. And statutory rape. And a few other charges... And the mayor was discovered to be apart of trying to cover it all up. He erased my medical record. Thank everything my dad had copies. Things were very hard but with Mr. Harrison and my lawyer and father, this case would surely come to a close sooner than later. Adrian's parents were suing and were absolutely distraught. They lost their only child.

" Who did you say I looked familiar to?" He looked at me " What?"

" You know, when we first met, you said I looked familiar. Who is she? Or he?

He silent stared at me "........."

( If you didn't realize, Jean- Harley is Adelyn. Just in case everyone was oblivious. )

                      Blaise

Gabriela drove and Ethan sat up front with her. Blaise was just happy. Blaise felt like a dark cloud that followed her everywhere had finally left. She lifted her knees to her. Chest and finally smiled.

Watching her leave the town was so hard for Ethan and Gabriela. They of course had each other's numbers, but she probably wouldn't come back. Her uncle bought a large house up in Riverdale. Her mom re-inhabited the home, taking care of Adelyn's child. Blaise lie horizontally in the back seat of the car. She was still wrapped up in her flag and had a few flakes of confetti in her hair from yesterday. She missed the only people she'd grown attached to in the most distant way. The sun was setting and the sky was a pinkish-orange.. She closed her eyes and made a wish.

" I wish... I wish that if I do ever find true love, that I fall so hard. I want this feeling to be there if I have to leave them. I only care that they treat me well and we live well together."

Satan's pale eyes shot open

" Done."
