Yup, it's official. I look like absolute shit. The bags underneath my eyes are huge and my hair won't curl at all. Last night was rough, I was in bed early just like mom said I should be, but I couldn't sleep, and when I did fall asleep I dreamt about Jayden and then I would wake up. Can you believe that? He is even in my dreams at night. This is starting to get ridiculous, and I'm feeling like a freakish stalker.

I decide to skip breakfast and just head to school early. When I am too tired I lose my appetite, plus I want to get a parking spot closer to the school today so I don't have to walk as far.

When I arrive at the school I park my car pretty close, then look at the time. Hmm. It's only 6:50 and classes don't start until 7:30. Its so early! Maybe I should just head inside and walk around until it's time for class, that way I can clear my head.

Sounds like a good plan, so I grab my stuff, lock my car and head into the school.

--------

The first bell rings and kids race to get into the classroom before Mr. Simmons so that they aren't marked late. Vince comes in and sits down next to me with a thud.

"Looks like someone had a rough night." He says. He laughs while grabbing his book from his bag, "Couldn't get any sleep?"

I scowl at him, "No I couldn't sleep, it was very kind of you to notice though." I say sarcastically. I glance around the room real fast looking for Jayden. I'm filled with disappointment when I realize that he isn't here. Where could he possibly be? He definitely isn't sick, right? I just saw him yesterday and he was fine, so there's no way.

Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my lower stomach, I grab onto the table roughly trying to hold in the pain while I clutch my stomach with my other arm. What the hell is going on right now! This hurts so much. Then as soon as it came the pain disappears just like that. Still breathing heavy I look up to see Vince looking at me with a worried expression.

"Uh... It's just girl problems..." Girl problems, really Sofia that's what you come up with. Great excuse... not.

"Okay... Too much information Soph..." Great now things are going to be weird, think Sophia. Think! Oh wait I know!

"So I found out yesterday that your sister is Alexandra. How come you didn't tell me?" I say. This should hopefully make things less weird.

"You know Lexi? If I had known that you knew her I would have told you, so how do you know her?" He asks, once again his face is filled with curiosity.

"She showed me around the school and we have a couple of classes together, but I was wondering... Are you guys twins?" I ask. I'm curious as to how they are both in the same grade.

Laughing at me Vince smiles and says "No we aren't twins, couldn't you tell by how different we are?"

I put on a confused face and ask, "How are you guys in the same grade then?"

"Oh that, yeah Lexi is really smart so she moved up a grade, she is only sixteen." He says with an annoyed expression. Hmm, wonder what that's about.

After that Mr. Simmons walks in and asks everyone to take out their books and work on the problems on page 24. Half way through my problems I sense something so I look up from my book and towards the door. A few seconds later Jayden walks in looking extremely messy, like he was just in an intense make out session. Ew, probably with Ashley. As if sensing me staring at him, Jayden looks up and makes eye contact with me. I quickly turn my head and focus back onto my problems.

"So Mr. Renalds, you finally decided to show up did you?" Mr. Simmons says, walking out from behind his desk.

"Sorry sir, I slept in. It was a rough night." I look up real fast just in time to catch that Jayden had glanced over at me right after his statement. No way, Maybe he's having the same problems as me!

"I will let you get away with it this time, but no more than that. Do you understand? Now go sit down." He says sternly, damn someone's cranky today...

The rest of the class goes by smoothly, and then the bell rings. I walk out of the classroom to wait for Lexi.

"Hey girl! Woah, you look rough..." She says looking curiously at my appearance.

"Yeah I had a long night..." I say looking down. You know I wish people would stop pointing it out...

"Anything wrong in particular?" She asks politely, putting her right hand on my shoulder.

I look up at her and smile, "Nope, just slightly stressed but I will be fine by tomorrow."

"Speaking of tomorrow, I heard it's your birthday!" She squeals and jumps up and down.

Oh no. "How did you find out..." I demand looking at her with no expression.

"Facebook!" She winks and giggles at me. "Lets eat dinner tomorrow at my place! I will invite a bunch of people!"

"Yeah... I'm not so sure about tha-" before I could finish talking Lexi cuts me off.

"Non-sense. We are going to eat dinner at my place whether you like it or not," she dismisses my almost rejection of the dinner, "now come on we are going to be late to class!" She grabs my hand and drags me off to class.

The school day comes to a close and I'm exhausted... Who knew you could be so tired on the second day of school? Certainly not me that's for sure! I head out to my car and see a bunch of people surrounding it and taking pictures. Squeezing through the crowd, I see a disaster.

Anger consumes me as I see what was done to my new car. 'Leave slut' is written on both side windows and in the back it says 'We don't want you here'. Honestly, the only person who hates me enough already to do this is Ashley. I look around I see if I can find her.

Standing about four cars down is, Ashley, Jayden, Vince and a bunch of their friends where they are hanging out. Most of them are laughing at my car scene. I look Ashley in the eye and give her my best death glare, and she gladly returns a smile in my direction. Quickly I lift my eyes to see that Jayden's expression is sympathetic, like he wants to do something about the situation but can't. The thing is, why can't he do anything? It's his girlfriend that's doing this. I give him a mean look then turn toward my car and hop in.

The group of kids scatter as I turn on my engine and leave the parking lot. I just hope I can get home before mom and Will so that they don't see the mess on my car.
