Scarlett Delmonico is living every fan of Jaden's life, she's on the baseball team as the next star player and on top of her classes.
Nobody hated her except for the toxic fans to which she just laughs and reposts the comment, video or whatever.

"No, actually I don't care. I lost someone that I actually loved to someone who means nothing to me."
~ Jaden's POV ~
Today was homecoming day, something I was dreading because I wasn't even going with Scarlett. I groaned and got out of bed, I brushed my teeth and got dressed.
I walked to school and got inside, everyone was silent and there was peace in the air. After last night with Scarlett, I realized who I wanted and who I wanted to be with for how long the relationship was willing to last.
I stood by my locker and put everything I didn't need inside of it, I looked over my shoulder and watched as Xiomara, Scarlett and Jaysean walked inside of the school. As she was walking, all I could think of is the song 'The Night We Met' by Lord Huron.
As she walked towards me, I felt my heart drop. She flashed a smile before walking past me thinking of the chorus of the song.
I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you.
She walked to the cafeteria with me staring as she dispersed from my sight, I didn't even notice Meredith walked over to me until her lips were on mine. I didn't kiss back, I just walked inside of the cafeteria and sat down.
Every so often, I caught myself staring at Scarlett. She looked happier without me, I was about to look away when her eyes finally connected with mine.
Take me back to the night we met.
I sighed and looked away, after that, everything was a blur. The day went by me and I was thankful for that, I couldn't handle anymore of Meredith's nagging.
I walked home and took a shower, washing my hair. Once I got out, I walked to my closet and pulled out my suit which was still in the covers.
I put on deodorant, cologne and then got dressed. I didn't want to go to homecoming if it mean that I wouldn't get to go with Scarlett, I'm aware of the mistake I made and I'm fully aware of the fact that it was my fault.
After I got dressed, I walked downstairs were Javon and Layla were taking photos. Layla wore a sage green dress with Javon matching, they looked real good.
"Y'all look good."
I complimented them sheepishly as I rubbed the back of my neck, Javon smiled and hugged me. Layla just thanked me softly before grabbing Javon's hand and walking outside, I walked outside in time to see someone walk outside of Scarlett's house with her.
