Thanks for reviewing (:
I do not own Night World….
Jez POV
Jez said, "Naw. I need to talk to you."
I looked at my friend Rashel, and could instantly tell that she was hurting. I knew it was all Quinn's fault, and I wanted to punch the crap out of him. But right now, I had to comfort one of my best friends.
"Go ahead." She said in an obvious attempt at a cheery voice. It was pitiful, actually.
"I know you're upset about Quinn and Hannah. But I decided to help you, as she seems too fake." I said.
"Look, Jez, I have no idea what you are talking about…" She trailed off under the look I was giving her. It was meant to say, shut up and let me help you.
"Now, the first step is admitting that there is a problem here." I said in a school-teacher voice. "Are you going to do that?"
Rashel sighed. "Yes. But I don't understand. What are you going to do to help me? Kill her? Beat her up? Because I really don't think that they have even done anything yet that is worth beating her up for…"
"Just shut up for a second. I'm thinking." No, they hadn't done anything yet, but it was pretty obvious that they would. I mean, you just had to be near them for all of half a minute to tell that something was going to start, and soon. Maybe we should just keep them away from each other… No, that wasn't very long term. "Come on, let's just go home. Forget going to Keller's house for today, yeah?" I could be comforting when I wanted to.
Rashel nodded and we got inside her car. While she was driving, I let my mind drift. What would be the best way to make sure Quinn and Hannah wouldn't get together. I thought about Hannah's personality, or what I knew of it so far. She seemed sweet, maybe a bit too sweet, but not ditzy like the class idiot, Iliana. You could tell this girl had more than one thought going through her head. She didn't seem to be slutty, even if all of the schools boys were hanging around her. I heard from one of them that she is refusing everybody's invitations to parties and whatnot. Hmm, we should take advantage of her "sweet" nature.
We were nearly at Rashel's house when I realised that I needed to text Morgead to come here. As we were approaching her house, I saw that he was already there, standing next to his motorcycle. I smiled as we got out and walked inside Rashel's house. It felt natural, just us 3, if not a little weird without Keller. I grabbed some from the kitchen for us all to share and brought it into the living room, where Morgead and Rashel were already sitting. I put the chips onto the table and sat next to Morgead.
"So. I think we all know the situation, and I have thought of a way to fix it. We all need to become "best friends" with Hannah so she will not go out with Quinn." I was met with blank looks. I sighed. "It is pretty obvious that she is not the type to betray her friends. She seems loyal, like a dog. So if we were friends with her, then she would not risk losing her friends. Get it?"
"Yes. I think we should do that. But do I have to be friends with her?" Morgead asked.
"No, sweetie." I replied.
"I'll do it. Let's start now. Let's go to Keller's house. I really don't like the idea of Quinn being alone with her, even though I know Keller would beat the shit out of him if he tried anything in her house." Rashel said.
"Let's get you looking all beautiful so Quinn eats his heart out." I said comfortingly. I was usually not this nice, but it was obvious that she was very upset. I dragged her upstairs and left Morgead on the couch, flipping through channels. I started to go through her closet, to see what would look amazing on her. I took out a black, lacy dress with matching tights and boots. I got a few dangling necklaces from her jewellery box and tossed it all at her. "Go put it on." She took it and went inside her bathroom. She emerged looking beautiful and haunting. I styled her hair in a fancy up-do with little curly tendrils left out. I did her make-up in dramatic tones, and when I was finished with her, she looked stunning. "Wow!"
"Thank you so much. Don't you think I am a little overdressed though?" She asked.
"No. It turns out that it has turned into a fully blown party, all for Hannah. Everyone who is anyone is going to Keller's."
"Oh. Do you want to borrow any of my clothes?"
"Yes. I saw this red dress in your closet that I may steal…" I smiled at her and got it out of her closet and went to change. The dress was beautiful, just a few shades darker than my own hair. I changed and came out of the bathroom, and went to stand in front of the mirror so I could do my own hair and make-up. I kept my hair simple; just left it down and ran a brush through my unruly curls. My make-up was already done from school, so I just touched it up a bit and then I was good to go!
We went downstairs together and called Morgead from the living room.
He wolf whistled at us. "You look nice, Rashel." He pulled me closer and whispered in my ear, "But you look hot, babe." I laughed and pulled away. He held my arm and we walked out of the house like that. The drive was a quick and silent one; me and Rashel in her car with Morgead on his motorcycle behind us. I could tell Rashel was feeling anxious.
"Hey." I said softly. "Everything will be okay, you know that don't you?"
"Yeah." She just smiled at me in a sad way and looked back at the road. We had parked up on the pavement and could see and hear the party noises that were coming from Keller's house.
"Ready?" I asked.
She took a deep breath. "Ready." She replied.
So, that is the next chapter!
This one was a bit boring, I know, but it was just a filler chapter until they got to the party and the drama starts…
Please Review!
