Love And Hate by Z.Stark N, Editor Mel W (best book recommendations TXT) 📕

Have you been completely in love with a guy, that you really just believe you’ll be together forever? Well, I have, but it was all a prank set up by the witch herself. My name is Jay, short for Janeseme. I was head over heels for a guy named Lionel Drews, but the truth was it was a prank he never loved me. He was paid to trick me into falling in love with him, and then dump me as soon as I did. So, the little witch Tiffany could have a little laugh. If you must know it worked. I’ve never got close to a guy since, it’s been two years. And it still hurts to talk about it. My whole life I have felt unwanted, rejected, and abandoned. The only person I truly trust is my grandmother. I live with her she took me in when I was 8 almost 9. I’m 16 now, she’s been through almost everything with me, and she’s my mom, dad, best friend, and grandparent. I tell her everything, I even told her about Lionel. She always has taught me to never let a guy hurt me well, I never thought Lionel would. (But he did) My life is a crazy, messed up, scary story. It hurts me, it hurts my family, and it makes me crazy sometimes.

My name is Janeseme Lovings, my nickname is Jay. I’m not ugly, I am just not popular. I’m too independent and I don’t trust many people. I only have one good friend her name is Elizabeth Timothy, her nickname is Liz. She knows most of my secrets we’ve been good friends for years. She’s like a sister to me we have a lot in common too. It was our first day of junior year. I have dirty blonde hair with blue streaks in the front; it’s long and has a little curl on the bottom. I’m not the tallest; I am about 5’6”, with hazel eyes, which means they change colors according to what I wear.

“Hey, Jay. You okay?” Liz asked. I and Liz were walking to school. She’s wearing a black pair of skinny jeans, with a white short sleeved shirt, and a jean jacket. I was wearing a black pair of skinny jeans, with a black short sleeved shirt, with my leather jacket, and my black stilettos.

“Yeah, I am okay.” I said. She looked at me she knew everything was not alright.

“You know we could just ditch today, it’s just the first day.” She said. I know she does not want to miss the first day. She loves the first day always hoping for the same thing every year, that a hot, guy from Paris would come to our school. (Doubtful because all the good ones are either taken or gay.)

“It’s cool. I am okay. Anyways I can’t wait to see the face on Tiffany when she finds out that I am the new captain of the squad now that’s going to be priceless. You’ll be there to take a picture, right?” I asked Liz.

“Yeah, your right I can’t wait for that either. And I will be there definitely and because it’s going to be announced at the rally.” She said all excited. We were always going to be there for each other no matter what. Going back to school every New Year since that had happen wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I even had people say sorry and ask me if I needed to talk I could come to them but it was mostly just girls. We were making are way to the school until I saw this guy I don’t know who he was but I mean this guy was a new because I have never seen him around town before. He had dirty blond hair that swooshed to the left side of his head, I couldn’t tell what color eyes he had I only glanced at him once and looked away.

“Fresh meat for Tiffany to ruin of course.” Liz said.

“I don’t think he’s that kind of guy.” I said to her.

“What do you mean?” Liz asked.

“I don’t know how I know it but, I just do. I can feel it.” I said to her.

“You know him?” She asked.

“No I…..don’t.” I said while taking one more look at him. With that look I saw he had a black choker with the three different colors exactly like mine. The necklace means that you’re independent, loyal, have regrets, and your originality. It was something that I had got after what happen the weird thing is that my grandma got it for me when she saw it, it had reminded her of me, and she bought it and told me all about it. I loved the necklace I never thought I would see it on a boy though, but something told me that this boy was different….good different or bad different? I don’t know but why should I care? Should I even care anyways?

“Oh My Gosh, you’re crushing on him." Liz said.

“No I am not. You know me better than that.” I shot back.

“Yeah and I also know when my best friend has a crush on a boy.” She said.

“Can we just drop it? I don’t want to talk about it.” I said to her.

“Okay.” She said. Next thing I know it the boy walks over to us and asked “Do you girls go to Creptin High School?”

“Yes we do were just on our way there. Do you want to join us?” Liz asked. Oh she is going to be hearing a mouth full when we get to school. I just smiled, he looked at me and I don’t know but I got serious butterflies. He smiled at me and said “I would love, too. But I don’t think y’all would want to show up with the new kid.”

“We don’t care what other people think of us.” I said to him.

“Then if you wouldn’t mind I would…love to joy you….two.” he said staring deep into my eyes. He had the most amazing deep brown eyes I have ever seen they were amazing. I looked away though. We were like two blocks away. Liz and Aidan I think he said his name was talked almost the whole way to school. He told us he was originally from California, he has an older brother named Kayden which is in 12th grade, he lives with his Grandfather, and he is more of a lay low guy. We parted ways when we got there because he had to go to the front office to get his schedule and books.

“He is like perfect for you.” Liz said as soon as he had left out of earshot.

“I knew it you want to get rid of me.” I said to Liz.

“No, I wasn’t. I was just saying he sounds just like you and you both have a lot in common. Plus, I think he likes you.” She said.

“Doubtful, anyways he doesn’t look like the kind that has been hurt….he looks like the kind that has had hurt.” I said to her.

“Don’t judge a book by his cover you always told me.” She said.

“No I told you, to never judge a book by its cover.” I said back.” It’s a big difference.”

“I am just saying maybe you should give him a shot. He seems like a nice guy, plus he has a single brother.” She said. Now this makes since….

“Whatever I just don’t know about it.” I said.

“Think about it at least. Please?” she pleaded.

“Fine, I will think about it.” I said.

“I got to get to class. See you later.” She said.

“Bye.” I said.

“Miss Lovings,” I heard someone say I turn around to find the principal with Aidan.

“Yes.” I said.

“Meet Aidan Hates.” He said motioning to Aidan.

“We’ve already met.” I and Aidan said at the same time. Never knew his last name was Hates though. I like it.

“Oh good, well he and you share the same schedule. So, will you show him around school?” the principal asked.

“Sure no problem.” I said.

“Thank you.” He said then turned to Aidan "Be nice she’s a good girl straight A’s. And I know her grandmother.” The principal said.

“Yes, sir.” Aidan said to him. When the principal walked away Aidan said “Well, it’s weird how we keep running into each other.”

“Weird, yeah.” I said tightening the hold on my books and my note book.

“Well, where is our next class?” He asked.

“8A is the room. Follow me.” I said walking while he was behind me. I looked up once to make sure he was still following me and he was. We finally made it to class. I have always sat in the back by myself at a table but then Aidan sat next to me and smiled.

“Mind if I sat here?” he asked with one of those cocky boy-ish smiles.

“No.” I said turning away. That’s when the teacher came in.

“Good morning class, oh yes we have a new student you can see. Will you please stand and tell us some things about yourself.” The teacher said motioning to Aidan.

“My name is Aidan Hates, I have a brother named Kayden he is in 12th grade, I live with my grandpa, I moved her from California, and I live on Sales Street.” He said then sat back down. I heard girl whistle at him and giggle. Then, I saw Tiffany check him out. Ughh….like that’ll ever happen. Why am I even caring about that? The teacher clapped and told the students to start on chapter 1 of there books. I wasn’t paying attention to him I was looking at a note that Lionel had threw to me after Aidan and the teacher stop talking. It said:

Are you ever going to forgive me?

I balled the paper up and threw it away. He has been so high up on himself ever since what happen between us. If I ever forgive him I would already have. I looked next to me to find Aidan staring at me like he was trying to see right through me. I smiled and turned away to my book. When, the bell rung I was the first one out of the classroom until Lionel caught me by my arm.

“Are you ever going to just understand that it was a stupid prank?” Lionel asked.

“Are you ever going to understand that maybe not everything was about you, or if I got hurt, and no to all of them. You’re the same self center rich brat like you’ve always been.” I said to him fixing to walk away until he pulled me by my arm.

“Let go of me now!” I said through my teeth. He just smiled that cocky evil smile. Until Aidan had found him holding a tight grip on my arm.

“I think the girl asked to be let go of.” He said to Lionel. Lionel looked at him and said “And if I don’t? What are you going to do about it new boy?”

“Well, I could beat you senseless, I could get
