Jacen was tired. He would have given anything at that point to be able to forget the last week altogether. Of course, that was near next to impossible. It had all started great with his announcement that he'd gotten over Lexie. And from then on, things just started going downhill. Emily "broke up with him". He'd gotten beat up in school. And finally, he had the worst fight to date with his sister. All because he wanted to be able to freely like a girl his sister didn't approve of. It wasn't that he believed Annie was a saint or that Josie wasn't, but if Annie was a mistake (which he didn't think she was), he wanted to be able to make that mistake on his own terms. And Josie was through controlling his life.
He finally arrived at Ben's house and parked his bike on the porch. It was a bit late, and he felt bad. So, he called Ben and let it ring a bit before hanging up. That was code for "I'm here". He didn't want to wake anyone if they were still awake. With a sigh, he hoisted his bag higher on his shoulder. He'd really only packed the essentials: underwear, pants, shirts, socks, sweaters. There were still a few things he wanted to get, but he was going to wait for a moment when he was sure Josie wouldn't be around. He didn't want to run into her at all if possible. That was going to be a little difficult at school, though not much considering he had mostly all advanced classes.
And then, there was his worry about Harvard. Was he going to get in? Did he stand a chance? Did he even care any more? Everything seemed so stressful lately, and Jacen was tired. He just wanted everything to go away.
