Chapter Ten: Jealousy

Next day during breakfast while chatting, Olivia casually asked Jaclyn, "So Jaclyn, which school did you go to before coming to Saint John's?".

"School?" Jaclyn asked shocked.

"Yes, which school?" Olivia asked again.

Jaclyn looked around and saw everybody waiting for her to answer, "Um I went to…um…to Auburn School", said Jaclyn remembering about the Tri City Tournament.

"Barnum told me you are just 16! So how come you are starting senior year?" asked Olivia.

"Well…becauuuuse…I…I am way ahead of my age," said Jaclyn, not sure of what she was saying.

"What is that supposed to mean?" asked Celeste irritably.

"It means...I am...very intelligent...and also that, what you are taught in your year, we are taught the same thing in Auburn, years ago...sooo...whatever you learned in your sophomore year, was already taught to us in our freshmen year," said Jaclyn making something up.

"Well, I must say the Auburn girl's during the Tri City tournament did certainly seem intelligent to us!" said Celeste remembered.

"So you are from Florida?" asked Olivia.

"Umm...yes," replied Jaclyn.

Jaclyn just wished that Olivia would stop. But Oliva asked another question.

Jaclyn opened her mouth, when Peter interrupted, "Oh come on Olive, would you stop it? How does it matter to you if her accent is perfect or not? Give her a break!"

"Yeah, you're just jealous!" added Ethan.

"Jealous? Of course I'm not jealous!" Olivia said guiltily.

"Yes you are, because she is smarter than you," Peter laughed along with everyone else.

"Ok that's enough," Celeste interrupted and said, "Come on Olivia, let's go."

"I so hate her. Who does she think she is?" asked Olivia angrily once they were out of the school.

"I know! Did you see all the boys drooling over her?" asked Celeste.

"Yes and did you see how she went and hugged Peter on her first day...and then gave a stupid excuse for it. She has been sticking to him ever since then," Olivia complained.

"Don't worry Peter doesn't seem to be interested in her."

"Whatever! But she definitely is. He will fall for her eventually," said Olivia.

"Olivia, I know Peter his like my own brother…only less annoying. But that's now the point. The point is he likes YOU and only you! You needn't be jealous of that stupid girl…Or may be…" Celeste said thinking, "he is trying to make you jealous .You know, you should play the same game with him... try to make HIM jealous!"

"That's stupid Celeste", Olivia laughed.

"No it's not. You remember Roethlisberger, don't you? You remember how he used to drive Peter up the wall. Before he won the championship for our school he was Peter's hero, but then later on when he saw you attend the Christmas ball with him, he hated him. He used to be always like 'Roethlisberger is such a git. I dunno what Olivia sees in him. He's an enemy…blah blah...' you know if it wasn't time for them to celebrate, Peter would have made his point clear and told you the truth. Meanwhile, he just used Marcie to make you jealous! Well that was a different story that she did not even give him a second look."

Both Olivia and Celeste laughed over this.

Olivia thought and said, "You really think it will work?"

"Totally! You know, I saw Marcus Valentine checking you out today," Celeste teased making Olivia blush, "May be you should use Marcus to make Peter jealous".

"I don't know Celeste... I'm not even sure if Peter really likes me," said Olivia nervously.

"Trust me Olive, he loves you. He is just not taking the first step. But you make him." suggested Celeste excitedly.

Later that night, Jaclyn was writing her diary in her room which read as follows

– I don't understand why mom is acting like this. She is definitely not like the person dad and everybody else described her to be. She almost blew my cover today! Thank god dad interrupted. Mr. Barnum told me to stay away from her, like I even HAVE a choice! I can't even look at her.

I think maybe she is jealous! Weird! But it may be true…maybe I should talk to her and get everything clear. I'll even encourage her to ask dad out. Looking at the rate at which both of them are going, I may not even exist in the future! And Barnum thinks it's RISKY to tell people about my secret! I should try to get them together. May that's why I am here… I should also try talking some sense in to Dad.

Also, I have to do something about this girl, Joy-Ann! The way she was looking at dad and flirting with him the other day…ummmm eeeeww! I remember Miss Johnston telling me how this girl in their sixth year had a crush on dad, which made mom very jealous. I don't remember her name, but it must be her. Well I'll serve her right then!
