Chapter 24: The Boy That Time Forgot - Jace's Backstory

The Girl They Never NoticedWords: 2640

Since we're all starting to love Jace, here's a little backstory as to why he became like that.

He was always the new kid, always moving around

He stayed at the back of the class, never making a sound

He has 2 older brothers, and an older sister as well

He's basically the spoiled one, in case you couldn't tell

At home his daddy got him everything he asked for

But at school, well, he had to work a little more

People were meaner , they never let him in

To the point where he thought that speaking up was a sin

He was always alone, he was always left out

They were always laughing, but he didn't know what about

Until one day he discovered that he was the subject of their joke

He started crying, just a kid, but his heart really broke

All through elementary, he always felt like the outcast

The reputation of this loner, spread far and too fast

The story of the kid who had no one to call a friend

They thought these rumours were the beginning of his end

When high school rolled around, appeared a new Jace

Not the needy clingy boy, who would sulk around the place

This new boy, was cruel, vicious, and mean

He was the worst they've ever seen

Not a day goes by, that someone doesn't fall prey

Stay away from him' he'll hurt you, they say

At first it started normal, like any amateur

Then he got worse and better in a blur

Then one day, it was announced that a new student came

If he made her a friend, nothing would be the same

He would quit all the pranks and be a normal boy

He'd stop playing with people as if they're his  toy

But the new girl made friends, and shattered his hopes

Took his dreams and hung them by several different ropes

He didn't know what to think; didn't know what to do

But ever since that day, she'll be his victim too!

Despite all the pranks, he was still empty inside

His smile was a façade of the loneliness he tried to hide

He tried to quit the pranks and be normal again

He might actually have friends; but ONLY THEN

When a prank gone wrong sent the new girl away

He was scared and terrified and didn't know what to say

He promised himself that the day she's back to school

Would be the day he cut it out; being a dang fool

When she showed up one day, looking beautiful as ever

He decided this is it, it's now or never

He was going to be good, he would try to win a friend

And that was the day all his pranks came to an end

Not only did he gain a friend, but a whole group too!

He was ecstatic; it was too good to be true!

He was finally home; the place where he'll belong

It was as if life is finally playing his song!

He looked around and in his mind he thought

He was no longer the boy that time forgot
