Jayden's Point Of View:

I was in my bathroom taking a shower when I heard a loud thump sound. So I immediately turned the tap off then grabbed my towel from the hanger and wrapped it around my body. When I opened the door to my room I caught Hailey going threw my stuff.

"What are you doing?" I yelled. She jumped up and dropped what she was holding. Then turned her attention to me. As soon as she saw me she turned a bright red and stuttered when she talked.

"U-uhm I was j-just l-looking f-f-for my phone. Ooh there it i-is." She said while averting her eyes away from me. She picked her phone up from the ground and then continued walking towards the other door. Before she could get there though I moved in front of the door: blocking her way.

"zzzZzzz" The lights went out and lightning struck outside while the sounds of thunder vibrated through the house. As soon as it made that clash sound a body was well wrapped around me. I looked down to see Hailey with her eyes closed and her body shaking. Forgetting what just happened, I wrapped my arms around her tiny figure and then moved towards the bed.

When we were sitting down on the bed I rubbed her back and in my most soothing voice I asked her what was wrong. She didn't say anything at first but then she began to speak.

"I-i'm sc-scard o-o-of thunder a-a-and l-lightnight." She said

I held her close and then continued to keep her in my warm embrace. Then I realized that I was still wearing just a towel. I blushed a deep red but thank god that the lights were out and she couldn't see me.

"Hailey uhm .. I sorta need to change." I said and tried to up-wrap her hands from around my waist. She didn't want to let go but she did. Then she turned around to give me privacy while I changed. I walked over to my closet and grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans with a lime green aero postale shirt.

When I finished dressing I walked back to the bed. Then I wrapped my arms around her trying to calm her down while whispering words into her ear. She was still shaking and I could tell that she was really cold. So I grabbed the blanket and covered both of us. She rested her head on my chest while I tapped her back in a one two rhythm. Moments later she had fallen back a sleep leaving me there to think.

I thought about how she acted and if this ever happened again I would have to be there for her. This was the first time that I actually saw her scared and it bugged me to think about how she handled these little incidents in the past. Aden was probably there for her I thought and then I started to get mad. Why was I getting mad though? These days I feel like im not myself. Always getting mad at little things.

I grabbed my phone from the night stand beside me and looked at the time. It was 8:30am and the thunder was gone and so was the lightning. School was starting in 20 minutes so I decided to go make breakfast and then come back up and wake Hailey up. I removed her head from my chest and then slowly her hands from my waist. Then I gently but quietly placed her back on the bed. While walking downstairs.

Hailey's Point Of View:

I stretched my hand out and tried to grab something. But all I grabbed was air/nothing. So slowly I opened my eyes and saw that I was laying down in Jayden's bed. The smell of him lingered around the whole room and I was amazed that I also smelled like him. I quickly got up and looked around the room. Where was Jayden and what happened to make me smell like him? I thought. I got out of bed and then walked towards the window and opened the blinds. When I looked outside all I saw was rain.

So I closed back the blinds and grabbed the remote from the bed and turned the tv on to CP24. It showed that we had thunder and lighting today in the morning and now it was easing down to slight rain. As soon as I heard thunder and lighting I remembered what had happened and that caused me to blush. I can't believe I showed him my weak side.

After I was out of my thoughts I turned the tv off and walked to my room. When I turned the lights on I looked at myself shocked. My mascara was running down my face and I looked like a circus clown. So I walked to the bathroom and removed my makeup and then re-applied it. When I was done that I walked down the stairs to the smell of Bacon and Eggs. At that my mouth began to water.

I walked into the kitchen and saw that Jayden was sitting down at the table where two plates were set out. He saw me and then called me to sit down. I sat down across from him. Then asked what this was in front of me.

"Eggs and Bacon." He replied with. "I knew they were your favorite. Your mother told me." He added. I just stared down at it until he told me to take a bite.

I took a big bite and moaned in satisfaction. "Ohmigod! This taste sooo goood!" I said and watched him laugh. "What?" I asked cause he was still staring at me. "Nothing." He replied with and then also started to eat. By the time we were done we only had 10 minutes to get to school. So I rushed out of the house before Jayden and into my car. When I started the engine, it turned on and then off and that's when I saw smoke coming from my hood.

I ran out of the car and opened the top and looked at it. Shit I cursed. The engine was broken and I had no time to fix it right now. I would have to do that after school I thought. Then I remembered I had to drop Shay off. I grabbed my phone and was about to call her when I saw a message from her. It said "Don't need a ride. Luke picked me up. - Shay." I exhaled loudly and then looked back at my problem.

"Need a ride?" Jayden said from behind me causing me to jump slightly.

"No thanks, i'll just call Aden." I said and then scrolled down on my contact list to his name. Before I could press it though Jayden grabbed my cell from my hand and told me to get in his car. I wouldn't move. So he said that he wasn't going to give me back my phone until I did. And that got me to move. I walked over to his passenger side and got in while he got in from the driver side.

When we were in, and buckled up he started the car and started to back out of the drive way. Fifteen minutes later we made it and I thought we were late but looks like we weren't. The school changed the starting time for today till 10:00am. So we were ten minutes early. I got out the car and ran to the front of the school to get shelter. Then Jayden came and handed me back my cellphone.

We walked into the school together and then Jayden whispered into my ear: "Plan starts now." And with that he entwined are fingers together while we continued to walk through the school.

Luke's Point Of View:

I turned to see what the big commotion was. Jayden and Hailey were holding hands in the middle of the hall way while the leader of the slut club walked up to Jayden and tried to steal a kiss. But before she could Jayden moved aside and said "Sorry Clarisa I have a girlfriend."

I looked at Clarisa and saw her face start to turn red. "Who? That shit face over there." She said pointing to Hailey. I could tell that Hailey was starting to get mad because next thing I know Clarisa got one slap across her face and then she was on the ground. "Bitch please." Hailey said and then grabbed Jaydens arm and pulled him towards me and Shay.

They split up and then I was left with Jayden while Shay was with Hailey. "Yo bro. Do you know what the fuck just happened?" I asked him. He just shook his head: no. "Okay well, by the looks of it you better watch Hailey cause when Clarisa gets mad (which is hardly) someone ends up with a broken arm or messed up face. And by the looks of it Hailey's next." I told him.

"Don't worry Hailey can handle her, that girls been in a lot of fights before and you can see how she handles them." He said but I was still worried about Hailey. I knew that she could probably handle herself but one thing that Jayden didn't know was that i've been with Clarisa before, I know how she stays. And when she doesn't get her ways she will snoop low and do whatever it takes to break the other person.

After me and Jayden finished talking, I grabbed Shay and walked off to are first period of the day while explaining everything to her. She was Hailey's best friend and they were always together so she should be aware.

Hailey's Point Of View:

After I talked to Shay about everything that happened today from the thunder this morning to the bitch just now. Me and Jayden walked to are first period class: English. When we got there I noticed the bitch wasn't there yet. So we took are seats. We sat in the middle of the class, and yes me and Jayden were sitting together. More like I wanted to sit beside some of my other besties but then Jayden threatened me.

....

So I ended up sitting right beside him. I took out my books from my bag and then placed them on the desk. I was about to take out the rest of my books when I heard a very slutty voice say "Move whore!" I knew who that slutty voice belonged to but I looked the person bottom up. From their six inch stiletto heels up to their mini skirt that was to short and looked like it was made for a one year old then to their belly top that revealed to much boobs. I gagged at her before talking.

"Sorry I was here first bitch." I said and then looked at my nails pretending to be bored out of my
