Chapter 8
JAMIE
"I can't do this anymore!" I say, flopping back onto my bed.
"Do what?" Emma asked, unpacking her backpack.
"This! Not date Lu-I meant, any guys!"
Emma raised an eyebrow at me, but let it slide, sitting at her desk chair.
I glared at her, sitting up. "Oh shut up. I seriously have to do something about this. And as if you're not itching to get your hands on my brother."
Emma blushes furiously, then turns back to her phone. I laugh, walking over to her. I look over her shoulder at her phone screen.
"What are you doing anyways?" I ask her.
She shrugs. "Trying to decide which selfie I should post." She answers, swiping through the photos on her phone.
I look through with her, then stop when she gets to one. "That one, for sure."
Emma studies it for a moment then smiles at me. "Thanks."
"No problem." Then my previous plan pops into my head and I head towards the door. "Hey, I'm going out. I'll be back soon though, tag me in that pic!" I say.
"I will, bye!" Emma calls out as I shut the door.
I step out into the hallway and make my way down to Agamemnon's office. I knocked lightly on the door and, just as I expected, Cameron's voice answered.
"Come in." He said.
I pushed open the door to see him at Agamemnon's desk, organizing some files.
"Hi, I'm Jamie." I said, walking towards the desk.
Cameron looked up and I got the reaction I was looking for. His eyes nearly bugged out of his head, then he cleared his throat and stood up tall.
I smiled, this will be easier than I thought.
"H-Hi." He stated.
"Listen, I'm a freshman, and I really don't think that the rule is fair. Other grades can date, why can't we, you know?" I place a hand on his arm.
He laughs nervously. "I guess."
"And I heard that you were really influencing to Agamemnon, strong and handsome. People talk about you all the time." I continue.
"Really? People say that about me?"
No. "Uh, sure. Anyways, I was thinking, since you're practically on the same power level as the headmaster, you can revoke rules, right?"
"Well, actually I-" I move my hand, trailing a finger down his arm.
"Right?" I say, raising my eyebrows.
He give a shaky smile. "Sure."
I smile brightly, then motion to the computer that Agamemnon uses to talk to us. He walks over to the computer, and turns it on.
"Attention students we have a special announcement. By request of Ja-" I shake my head quickly, indicating him not to say it was me. I look around and then point to a photo of Agamemnon on the bookshelf. He nods in understanding. "By request of Headmaster Agamemnon, the rules of which freshmen are not allowed to date is revoked. Repeat, this rule is now revoked. Enjoy the rest of your day." He turns off the intercom and I hear cheering coming from the halls.
Yes. I give Cameron a big smile and a kiss on the cheek. Eh, he deserves it.
"What is going on?" I heard someone ask.
My happiness started to dim as I turned to face Agamemnon, inwardly groaning.
"I can explain- " I start, but he interrupts me.
"Miss Novoa, I should have known, considering your brother's history."
I roll my eyes. "Whatever."
"I will deal with you soon enough." Then he turns to Cameron. "Cameron! How could you let this happen?"
Apparently, Cameron was still too dazed by the kids, cause all he could do was stand there, grinning like an idiot.
I laughed silently, and then slipped out of the room while Agamemnon tried to get Cameron to focus. On my way out, I came face to face with Luke.
He grinned at me. "It was you, wasn't it?"
I shrug. "I have no idea what you are talking about."
We stay silent for a few moments, then burst out laughing.
"That was awesome. No other freshman would have the guts to convince Cameron of doing something like that." Luke said to me.
"I guess you could say I'm not like other freshmen." I say,with a coy smile.
He smiles at me. "Yeah, I'm starting to figure that out."
Emma
I laughed. As soon as I heard the announcement go off, I knew that it had something to do with Jamie. I don't know how she got Cameron to agree to doing that, but everybody seems pretty happy with it.
I could hear the shouts from inside my dorm room. I had just posted the selfie and tagged Jamie(luv_jamie) when there was a knock on the door.
I got up to answer it. When I pulled the door open, I was met with Jax, furiously running a hand through his hair.
"Careful there Elvis, you wouldn't wanna mess up what looks like a good hair day, now do you?" I joke.
He gives me a small smile. "Is Jamie here?"
Ah. "Um, no. I think she's-" with Luke. "Out."
Jax narrows his eyes at me. "Out where?"
"I don't know actually." Well that's not a lie.
"So you have no idea what cause the sudden change of heart in Agamemnon?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
My heart fluttered when he did that. NOT THE TIME EMMA.
"Well, I mean, I don't know for sure..." Stay strong, stay strong.
"So you have 100% no clue what could've happened to cause that announcement."
This was completely unfair. Here was my friend's totally hot brother, grilling me to see if I would give him any information about her that could possibly get her into trouble, and I have to cover for her. And all the while, I have those big brown eyes looking at me, it won't be long before my heart completely melts.
"I-" I was cut off by someone else.
"Hey Emma!" Jamie said. Finally.
"Jamie! Your brother was just wondering about the impromptu announcement from Cameron." I say to her.
"Oh yeah. Do you believe in miracles?" She tries.
"Jamie." Jax says.
"Okay, fine. I may have something to do with that. But not much!" She says quickly. "It was mostly Cameron anyway." She shrugged.
Then she turns to me. "I need to talk to you." Then she starts to drag me back in our room.
"Can you give me like one second? Thanks." I said to Jax, holding on to the edge of the door, poking my head out before Jamie pulls me back in.
She shuts the door then turns to face me. "Luke asked me out!"
"Oh my God!" We both squeal and Jamie starts talking a mile a minute.
"You realize these doors aren't soundproof right?" We hear Jax call from the other side.
"Whoops." Jamie said.
The door opened and Andi came in, followed by Jax.
"I found this one with his ear pressed up against the door." Andi says, motioning to Jax.
"I was not. She's exaggerating." Jax defended himself.
"Right." Andi nodded sympathetically. "Then what would you call it?"
"You know, just, leaning towards the door a little bit. Its not important."
Jamie, Andi and I just laugh. "Okay then." Jamie says.
"What is important is what you did." Jax says to her.
"Oh yeah, I heard the announcement and knew you had something to do with it. Nice job, Jamie!" Andi calls out to her, sifting through her toolbox.
Jamie flips her hair over one shoulder. "Well..."
"You know you could get in a lot of trouble for this right?" Jax said.
"Oh relax, Cameron did the dirty work. I just, gave him a little push. Besides, Agamemnon didn't punish me." She sits down on her bed.
Jax shakes his head. "You got lucky this time. Try and be more careful please."
Jamie sighs, but obliges. "I will." She gets up to give him a hug.
"I have to go, stay out of trouble." Jax says.
"Yeah, yeah." She said, opening the door for him.
After he left, Jamie turns to us. "Alright girls, let's go out."
"Where?" Andi asked.
"Theres a whole town, right across from the academy and we're allowed to leave school grounds until 9."
Andi shrugs. "I'm in. Em?"
"Sure, let me just grab my phone." Jamie and Andi head out the door, telling me they'll meet me at the front door.
My phone vibrates when I pick it up and I unlock it to see that I have a like and comment on the photo I just posted.
preparetobejaxd: beautiful
His comment is followed by two heart eye emojis. I can't stop the smile from spreading on my face as I turn off my phone and follow my friends out the door.
