The day after turned out to be beautiful, the exact opposite kind of day Jade had hoped for. The clouds hugged the beautiful blue sea in small adoring patches. The sun brightened this sky, and warmed the earth. People had wandered about happily, and birds were chirping just the same. every little bit about today was like being in this one big perfect happy mood, but Jade could not join in. For, less that twenty four hours ago, the boy she had given another chance (his fourth), had once again broken her heart.

     Jade had always believed she could make things work with Kenny. Of course, she should have seen right through him. She gave him every bit of her heart, and he gave her away, again, for a girl who had broken his heart before, when Jade never had. She had always taken her time to fall in love with someone, but this boy had been a rare kind. She had just finished walking into her health class, and saw him. It was just him, at a desk made, and filled, with six other people, but he was all Jade could see. She saw him first in her Freshman year, and here she was her summer of Sophomore year, becoming and upper class man in just weeks; still letting people treat her like a rag doll. Still letting people walk all over her, and sit… Well people sitting on her, she found fun and silly. She’d loved it when her best friend asked her to sit on her lap or something.

     Jade had decided, heading to summer school that morning, that she wasn’t going to let Kenny, and people like him, use her heart anymore. She had found a wonderful new confidence, that she had never known before, and she had become quite proud of herself. Yet, still, she was sad. She still both hated and missed Kenny, this she could never really deny, even to herself.

     She’d pondered the entire night as she sat in her summer school Geometry class. Her teacher was re-explaining the same problem he had first placed on the board when they walking in around eight. Jade had finished the equation in just minutes, so she had decided to sit back go to her thoughts. She really never belonged in summer school. The school had lost her transcript when she returned, and so she was “missing” five credits of math. Jade never minded it, she loved math, even relearning it over and over. So, she just sat back as the other students played dumb. They didn’t care, but alas, Jade went on thinking.
