Ok, so with all the shit going on in school right now, the one thing I should absolutely NOT do right now, is starting a new fic.
And yet here I am, starting a new fic.
Um, so it's more of a fun project for me than a serious work- and it's going to pretty much be a story about Jack being an oblivious moron and Jamie a no-longer-so-oblivious one.
I'm not even sure if the fandom is still alive or not, but I know that this ship isn't that popular, still, I hope u like it.
Please. Leave. A. Review. I could rly use some cheering up –and of course, ur welcome to point out any of my countless mistakes-
The story is set about when Jamie is 20-21 and Sophia is 15-16.
Hope u enjoy

"Really, mate," Claude grunts as he throws himself on the sofa, putting his head on his brother's stomach, "You should give Alice a chance. You two are perfect for each other."
Jamie shakes his head, not bothering to look away from the TV. "Leave it alone, Claude, I'm not- I mean, it just won't work out."
He and the rest of the gang are his living room, sipping on hot cocoa and lazing around on their day off. It's one of those cold November days when the sky is as gloomy as their history teacher, Mr. Underwood, and the rain keeps pouring, so all of them are more than happy to just curl under their blankets and marathon the Harry Potter series. After all, with college and part time jobs taking all of their time, they don't get to hang out like this much anymore.
Why they always have to try and hook him up with some random girl –or the occasional boy- in their weekly movie nights though, he has no idea.
Pippa turns to give him an unimpressed look, crooking an eyebrow. "Of course it would. You two are practically made for each other! She's almost as much of a geek as you, and she's a believer."
Jamie scowls. "She doesn't believe in Jack!"
"Because she's probably never even heard of him," She rolls her eyes, "but don't worry, we'll fix that. And she did say that she believes in Santa and Bunny."
"And the Tooth fairy!" Monty adds.
"And the Tooth fairy," Pippa nods, "I think she believes in Sandy as well, but well, we can only guess, since someone stormed off as soon as Alice said she didn't know who Jack Frost was." She says pointedly.
Jamie avoids her eyes, taking a long sip of his almost empty cup.
"Yeah, and what was that, mate?" Caleb suddenly sits up, making his twin groan about losing his pillow, "I have never seen you so angry. That look on your face… and you were all frowny! Gave the poor girl quite the scare."
"It was that bad…?" The brunette gives his friend a guilty look, "Do you think I scared her off?"
"Nah," Monty waves a hand, munching on a marshmallow, "That was hot."
Jamie blushes as the rest of the boys laugh. "Please stop." He whines.
"But why?" Pippa looks ready to strangle him, "She's kind, sweet, and one of prettiest girls at campus! Why don't you just give her a chance?!"
Jamie pinches the bridge of his nose, "She just- she's just not really my type." He sighs.
"No one is your type!" She throws her hands up in the air, and gets up to refill the now empty mugs.
Caleb thanks her as he hands over his cup, turning to grin at Jamie, "She's right dude," He says, "You've got to stop playing hard to get or you'll never get laid. Seriously man, you're like the only one who's still single! I mean, look," He points to the window, where Sophie and Josh –one of her classmates- are taking a long, romantic walk in the rain. "Even Soph's got herself a boyfriend!"
Jamie just rolls his eyes and makes a mental note to buy a shit ton of cough syrup and a hundred boxes of tissue for when his dear sister comes down with a cold, not taking his eyes away from the screen where Harry Potter and his arch enemy are not-so-subtly flirting.
"Come on Jamie," His friend sighs, "You can't keep being the…" He pauses, doing a quick headcount, "…-the eleventh wheel whenever we go on group dates!"
"I'm not exactly the only one who's not got a date in those though," Jamie points out, "Jack usually tags along too, so it's fine."
"It really isn't mate," The other twin groans, "Remember that normal people can't see Jack –and don't look at me like that, I'm only telling the truth- so you seem like your talking to yourself all the time. And speaking of jack- just for how long are you gonna drag the poor guy along every time we go out? You asked him to come over that time we formed a group study, invite him to all of our movie nights, hell- you even came to school dance with Jack and spent the whole night looking like you were dancing with thin ai- wait." He suddenly pauses, gaping at him. "Oh my god," He says, "OH MY GOD. All this time- and you- you didn't even tell us?!"
Jamie and the rest of the group –save for cupcake who's too busy mourning the dead unicorn in the movie, give him strange looks. "What are you talking about?" he asks him, looking unimpressed.
Claude points at him with a wide grin on his face, looking like Christmas has come early. "I'm talking about you and Jack! Oh, You sly dog!"
"Me and Jack?" Jamie asks, now getting confused, "What about us?"
The other boy stops his cheering, looking at him like he has never heard something so stupid before. "You're telling me," He says slowly, "You really don't know?"
"He doesn't know what?" Monty asks, looking impatient.
Claude only shakes his head.
"Jamie," Cupcake, the only other one who seemingly knows what's going on, asks without taking his eyes off the screen. "You said you don't like Alice cause she's not your type." he nods. "Then what's your type?"
"I'm not sure," Jamie shrugs off Claude's strange behavior, turning to face the girl. "I guess someone with blue eyes? And I don't know- light hair?"
"Alice has light hair." Pippa points out as she enters the room with a tray full of steaming cups and sets it down in front of him.
"No, her hair is more of a pale golden color. I like it lighter." He says as he picks up his mug, nodding at her in thanks. "White probably? I've saw some guys going around with purple dyed hair… finding someone with white hair shouldn't be that hard, right?"
"White?" Monty asks, "Wait, you mean like Ja- ouch!" He gasps as Cupcake elbows him in the stomach, doubling over in pain.
"Be quiet," Cupcake tells him, nodding for Jamie to go on.
"Ah- well, pale skin maybe? Like really pale. I 'look-like-a-member-of-undead' pale, you know?" He chuckles nervously, "And… an overall messy appearance? Unruly hair and worn clothes I guess… I have something for the homeless look."
He quiets down as he feels the heavy gaze of his friends on him, shrinking back into the couch, "Did I- did I say something wrong?"
"Uh, no, but mate," Caleb says carefully, "I think you pretty much just described Jack Frost."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ROTG~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ah, yeah, so the first chap is done~
Like I said, it's only a fun project for me- and will probably be deleted later if it's not popular- but it'd be really nice of you to leave a review. Who knows, maybe I updated quickly if this was well liked.
Please tell me what you think!
