Chapter 4

                                    

                                          
"Hey Trish you can catch a ride with my mom", Grace waves me off as I step out the school. She's by a silver van.
                          
"That's okay, I'll walk home", I reply.
                          
"Nonsense we're friends now so come on my mom doesn't mind", she comes and get me.
                          
"Fine", I smile and got into the backseat,'thanks for the ride Mrs. Jennings", I smile.
                          
"No problem, I'm happy my daughter got a nice friend back in Australia her friends abandon her", she explains.
                          
"Bye Trish and here's my number if you want to hang out", Grace says and hands me a piece of paper.
                          
"See you tomorrow", I wave her good bye then went up the walkway to my front door.
                          
"Hey honey, how was school?" Dad ask as I am about to go upstairs.
                          
"Same old nothing never changed expect Jasmine and I aren't friends anymore and I made a new one", I shrug.
                          
"I'm so sorry to hear that, you guys were really close", Lexi sighs,"remember that picture you guys took out for middle school graduation?"
                          
How can I forget?
                          
"Yeah", I sigh and went to my room.
                          
I lay down on my bed and watch the frame picture of Jasmine and I, our arms around each other grinning at the camera. I take the picture out of the frame and cut it up.
                          
My phone buzz:
                          
3: 30 pm Jazz: please talk to me Trish, I'm sorry I left you in the dark like that you're my only close friend and you know it
                          
3: 36 pm Jazz: yes I know I screwed up and those three girls or Oscar would never before between us, sisters before misters, chicks before dicks always
                          
3: 55 pm Jazz: okay that's it, I'm coming over because I know you'll be home
                          
I delete the messages and leave my room.
                          
"Dad I'm going out", I say as I rush to the front door.
                          
"Hold your horses, you forgot we got something to talk about", he reminds me.
                          
"We can talk about it later, I really got to go", I kiss his cheek quickly.
                          
"Where you're going Trish?", Lexi ask.
                          
"Out."
                          
"Out?", she gasps,"its not Friday and you never go out, ever."
                          
"First time for everything", I shrug and leave then got my skateboard.
                          
Yes I have a skateboard, but only use it if I have to go to the grocery for something really quick.
                          
I put on my elbow and knee caps with my blue helmet then skate down the street.
                          
Where to go?

I end up going to the library and check out the new books that came out some weeks ago.
                          
4: 15 pm Jazz: where you? I came by your house and was told you went out. Since when do you go out? 
                          
Me: seriously Jazz, why are you still talking to me? Go hang out with those mean girls, I bet your shopping was a blast beside I don't need you 
                          
4: 18 pm Jazz: I'll pick you up for school tomorrow, I'm not going to lose a friend because of a guy if I have to break up with him then so be it
                          
Me: you don't have to do that if you really like him Jazz, I'll be fine you don't have to come pick me up and I will see you around school
                          
4: 21 pm Jazz: okay and I hope we can be friends again
