As the last bell of the day rang, I walked out of the school building pondering about Jace. "Jennifer!", a somewhat familiar voice called. I turned around and saw Jace running up to me. I saw his abs through his white see-through shirt and mentally drooled.' Snap out of it!' my subconscious said.
" Um, Jennifer?""Oh, hi there Jace", I said, acting like I wasn't checking him out a couple seconds ago. " So, can I drop you off?", said Jace looking at me
" No! I mean no thank you, my house is not that far away from here" I rushed out, trying to end this conversation quickly.
"Um, okay?" said Jace, raising an eyebrow at me." " Well bye!", I said then ran out the school gates. ' Great going back there, now he thinks that you are weird!', my sub-conscious taunted me.'
'Hush!', I snapped back, ' I have more important things to than to worry about what boys think of me.'
As I walked home, I thought up scenarios of what might happen when I got home. 'Maybe he forgot and is passed out or not even here', I chided myself. I stopped at the red light and slipped on my gigantic jacket. Even though it was spring, it might protect my still burning ribs from my dad's foot. I walked home and stepped onto the porch.
Then, I opened the door.
