I sat at the lunch table, munching on some crackers, staring at the most perfect boy in the world. Jack Twist was just too adorable! Even the way he ate was hot! The Twins kept jabbering about how Aphrodite was such a bitch, but I just canceled them out, and focused on Jack. After a few minutes, Erin brought me out of my trance. "Hello? Earth to Damien!" I shook my head, "Huh?" "Boy, something has got you-" Shaunee started. "Up in the clouds," Erin finished for her "twin". I shook my head, "It's nothing." "Like hell it's nothing! Come on, what's his name?" "Please don't laugh, okay?" The twins nodded excitedly, and bounced up in down like they had to pee real badly. "Okay… His name is Jack." Their jaws dropped. "Jack-"Erin began. "As in Jack Twist?" Shaunee continued. "Shh! Keep your voices down!" The two girls squealed like little schoolgirls. "We have to hook you two up, like right now!" Erin exclaimed. "You guys would look so cute together!" Shaunee yelled. I looked down suddenly, for Jack was walking this way. Jack was walking right towards me! I breathed deeply, not looking up. "Thanks, you guys- he coming this way! What if he heard you?" However, the boy just kept walking. I turned to follow him, but I wish I hadn't.
The new boy, Chris, was standing there with arms around Jack. My Jack.
My heart sank. The twins instantly rushed to my side. "Oh baby, he doesn't know what he's missing. If he chooses that young meat over something as ripe and delicious as yourself, he is stupid," Shaunee rambled. I shook my head, "It's okay you guys. It's not like we have actual conversations anyway." They shook their heads forcefully. "It's doesn't matter. You guys have classes together, right? You should talk to him. Maybe the poor boy's shy," Erin whispered, trying to comfort me. I nodded in agreement. "That could be true. You know- that's what I'll do! I'll talk to him in class and win his heart away from that little witch." The twins giggled. "Why don't you just say bitch?" "I don't roll that way," I said as I popped my collar. We laughed at my attempt to be gangster.
Our laughter was caught off by the sound of heels walking our way. We looked up to find the queen bees of the House of Night heading to our table. Shaunee and Erin glared at the two girls. They glared back, with a fire behind it that could have sent even a demon running. "Well, well, well. Looks like the nerd herd is having a good time," Zoey Redbird laughed. Her voice sent shivers down my spine. Her voice always made me shiver. It sounded like water flowing gently over stones. It was sickeningly seductive. "I do believe those were the giggles of a boy in love, was it not, Zo," Aphrodite asked her friend, a wicked smile across that gorgeous face of hers. "I do believe so. Now, who would interest Damien, that's the next question," Zoey replied. I shook my head, "Nobody here would interest me. Especially not either of you," I spat at them. They laughed that ridiculously enticing laugh of theirs. "Don't you think we know that? But listen good honey; Jack doesn't only go for guys. The other night he was with this girl, Angel. If you wanna have a bet to see who could get him first, that wouldn't bother me," Zoey giggled. The competitive side of me won in less than a second. "I'll have you know, you're going to be crushed. Jack would never go for a whore like you," I hissed at her. "May the best girl win," she smiled back, with that wicked smile of hers. "You're on." With that, I took her perfectly manicured hand in mine and shook on it. "Whoever gets him in a month wins. No cheating, no lying, just plain old sex appeal and charisma ," Zoey stated before walking away with Aphrodite.
"I hate them," the twins said at the same time. I nodded in agreement, unable to say anything. The effects of my bet crashed down on me. "Oh my God you guys, what have I done?" The two girls giggled. "You got yourself a man!"
