Jess was stressed. Really stressed. There was so many things on her mind right now, so many things she needed to do. First she had to do the rest of her biology homework done, and then she had a deal with Selaura and Katyuna after the school, plus she had another deal with Jim that they were supposed to go solar surfing.

And it didn't help that she got to late up for the first class. So first she turned her T-shirt on the wrong side, her hair had a lot of knots so it made it difficult to brush it.

"Argh! I hate my hair!" She shouted. Katyuna walked out of the bathroom as she saw her struggling with her hair.

"Need any help?" Jess's friend asked worried.

"No thanks, it's fine. I just need to be patient. Which I am not today." Jessica bit her teeth together and brushed her hair once again. Finally it went like she want it. Well almost. So instead of let her hair on her back, she just putted into a tight ponytail.

Jessica looked at the clock. 15 minutes till her first class started. She just had the time to make her homework, before she had to go to her math class. Benjamin and Jim were supposed to having the same classes like her, so at least it wouldn't be that boring.

"Are you coming?" It was Selaura and Katyuna who asked. Jess didn't look up from her book when she answered.

"I'm coming in five minutes." She answered.

"Jess, you only have 7 minutes before the classes starts." Told Selaura.

"Don't worry, I'll make it in time."

The girls shrug their shoulders, and went out of the door.

******

The time passed by, and Jess hasn't even heard the bell ring. Finally she was done with her homework and looked up to the wall, where the clock was. She was shocked.

"Shit!" She shouted. 08:20 am! "Shit! Shit! Shit! I am so screwed!" she shouted to herself as she took her bag pack and ran through the corridor.

In the mean while, sat Jim and Benjamin in Mr. Sun's class they noticed the empty seat in between them both. Benjamin wrote a note on the paper and handed it over to Jim.

Where is Jess?

Jim wrote back on the note and handed it.

I don't know. I was wondering the same thing.

Benjamin read the note, and just as he finished reading it, the door got burst open. And a very breathless and embarrassed girl came in. All the students' eyes were looking at her. Jess' cheeks went red, and were on her way down the seat between Jim and Benjamin. And just as she sat down Mr. Sun called:

"Ah Ms. Hinrichsen I see. Better late then never I guess. Will you come up here please?" Jess hesitated, looked at Jim, who had a soft and sympathy look in his eyes. She then walked up to Sun's disk. On her way, she heard the girls and boys snickering behind her back. "Why are you late this time?"

"I… uhm… was making some homework." She told.

"I see. You know who you remind me of?"

Jess had a feeling, but didn't want to response.

"Your father was just irresponsible like you. I guess it runs in the family."

The student laughed. Everyone beside Jim and Benjamin. Jim felt the anger inside him bubble. He had heard stories about her father, and she was anything else then her father. Jim was going to raise him up, but Benjamin managed to stop him.

"Miss Hinrichsen. You get a week detention, four math assignments. And I want them made by tomorrow."

Jessica was on her way to protested, when the teacher simply lift his hand up. "Or do you prefer the double of it?" slowly she closed her mouth. "Didn't think so. Get back to your seat."

Jess did what was she was told. As she sat on her chair she hunched lower, felt totally embarrassed. Her arms was crossed over her chest, and tried to hide her face in her shirt. Jim putted a comforting hand on her shoulders. But she didn't looked. God! This day just went worse, by each minute.

****

Maybe the morning went bad, and just as Jessica thought it couldn't get any worse then this, it did. The whole day, she had been stumbled into things, doors, walls, stones… you name it. She got some bruised on her arms from it. Her fencing classes didn't even went well. She lost almost every round, and either she felt on her butt or she felt because of her bruised ankle. And every student was laughing at her.

Summers, one of the bullies on the school, had also bullied her almost the whole day, and you could tell that Jess was almost loosing her temper. The teacher kept giving their classes more and more homework's. Not good since she had got extra math assignment's. Her friends were beginning to get worried about her. She didn't use her lunchtime to eat, but to do homework instead. They could see her eyes was getting tired and tired, and the day wasn't even over yet.

"Jess are you all right?" Katyuna finally managed to ask her.

"Sure. Why wouldn't I? Beside that the homework's is killing me, I have bruises here and there, my foot is killing me, Summer's keeps bullying me and like that wasn't enough, Mr Sun has making fun of me, in front of the whole class!" Jessica shouted the last part getting more and more angry. Katyuna looked down, felt like she had said something wrong. Jim noticed it, and nudged to Jessica's arm. She looked up to him; he then moved his head, to Katyuna. Jessica followed his eyes, and saw how miserable her friend looked.

"Katyuna… I'm so sorry… I didn't meant to take it on you… I'm…" She sighed. "I'm taking some air." And with those words, she packed her books away, and was on her way of the canteen, until.

"Hey Jess!" Jessica stopped, new that voice. When you talk about the sun. She turned around.

"Don't call me that!" She shouted.

Summers snorted a laugh. "Doesn't it sucks to be compared to each daddy, who was the weakest link on the school?" the whole canteen was silence. Jess throws her bag pack on the floor and walked right over to Summers.

"Say that again, if you dare." She said. Jim was getting worried, and stood up, ready to be there if something went wrong.

Summers stood up right in front of Jessica. "Your daddy was the weakest link in this school. And no wonder if you are too."

That's it. It was like a fraction of a second. Jessica took back her fist and punched Summers right into his face. The boy felt backwards, holding a hand to his eye. Jess took some deep breaths, felt some hot tears behind her eyes, and went out. Before she got out of the canteen's door, she punched her fist into the wall and then ran out. She needed to get out, needed get away from all the people and get out to get some air.

Jim looked worried at the door. He ran over to take Jess' back and ran out to the corridor. Hoping he could catch her. Sadly not.

"Jess!" he called. No answer.

******

She sat on the beach. Again. All alone. Again. Her friends were still inside the school. Taking the classes. Sitting all alone on the beach, looking out at the horizon, feeling the wind in her hair, and feeling the water touching her feet. So many things were running through her head.

The worst thing, which really was pushing her mind, was the things: Mr Sun and Summers had said about her father.

Since she got on this school, her mom had been the one who had pushed her, to get through the year. Maria knew that her daughter had some hard time, with her math teacher. But even that, Jessica had managed to get A's and B's in other subjects. She was proud of herself, and so was her mom. But there was still one person she wanted to make proud. But how can you? When the person is dead? When he died in front of you? When you just, got to know the man.

Jess raised herself up, and began to throw stuff into the water. Rocks, seaweeds, everything she could grip on.

"Are you happy now! Huh dad! Look at me! Are you proud of what I have become! Have you even ever been proud of me!? Answer me!" she kept yelling out of the horizon. Knowing that she wouldn't get any answers, bus she just had to get it out.

And just like that, she felt on her knees. Cried. All the tears she had been holding back, almost the whole day. It was just too much. Jessica kept crying. Not bothered to try to stop her tears from falling. There was one thing she wanted to do now.

Jessica lifted her face up, took some deep breaths to calm her self down. She then began to get undressed. Jess had been into her room, before she went outside to the beach, to get her swimsuit on inside her cloths. When the teenager had changes, she stepped out to the water. Not noticing that Jim was right behind her. Before the young man, could say anything, she was under the cold water.

"God! Girls!" Jim took his shirt, shoes, socks and jacket off, and walked slowly over to the water. He took two deep breaths and went under the sea too. He looked around, couldn't find his girlfriend anywhere. Suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

******

Jess sat in the cave. She was glad that she had forgot her towel last time she went there. The cave was nice and quiet. Jessica found a place on the edge where she could sit, while her feet were touching the water. Suddenly a person got out of the water.

"Geez! Jim! Don't ever scare me like that!" She shouted, and moved away from the edge. Jim couldn't help but give a little smirk.

"Sorry. I thought I could find you here." And with those words, he got out from the water, and stepped over to Jessica. She had her back turned to him, and her arms were crossed over her chest.

Jim's smile felt, while he saw her standing there. He could sense that Jessica was almost crying. Without any words, he walked to her left side. Jim took his arm around her shoulders, rubbed it gently. New tears pushed inside her eyes. She was biting her lower lip, trying to keep her tears inside. Jim then wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight. Jessica couldn't take it anymore… the tears streamed down on her face, and she began to sob.

"Shh… it's all right. It's all right, I'm here." Jim said while he tried to comfort her. Jess buried her face into Jim's chest. They sat themselves down on the ground. Jim held Jessica tight, and rocked her side to side.

Time went by. Both teens were still in the cave. Jessica had finally stopped crying, and was now relaxed. Jim had still his arms around her, but gently took his hand, and moved so he could take her hand.

"Does it hurt?" Jim asked, when he looked at her fist. It was blue and red; there were some small cuts too, after the blow from the wall.

Jess looked at it, she had actually forgot everything about it, she then tried to move it slowly. It hurt a bit, but she didn't want to tell him.

"Not to bad." She lied.

Jim gave her a look, which clearly told her, that he didn't believe her. He took his other hand and began to touch it. Jess' eyes shut in, her teeth clenched together, and tried to get her hands out of Jim's grip.

"Okay, I guess it does hurt… a bit." Another look came from Jim. "All right. A lot." She admitted. Jim shook his head. She couldn't just for once admit that she was hurting.

"So how was Summers looking?" Asked Jessica.

Jim began to chuckle. "He got a big black eye, that might stay there for weeks."

"Well, maybe I got a bruised hand, but it was worth it."

Jim and Jessica laughed and then kissed each other. Later they decided to get back to the school.

*******

Jessica was in a way better mood. She said sorry to Katyuna, letting Jim bandage her hand and she and all of her friends, was together on the beach, playing volleyball, flying on the solar surfer and when it was getting dark, they made a fireplace and was warming marshmallows on a stick. Everything was all right now. Relaxing and calm. All 5 teens laughed has they told each other stories, and special the one where Jess had punched Summers. Jessica was happy. She leaned her head against Jim's shoulder and smiled.
Just a one shot of Jess's bad day :)
