A/n: enjoy!
"Woo! Go ben!" Lily screams
"Have I mentioned lately how stupid this game is?" Eva rubbing her ear in annoyance
"Yes for the hundredth time, now move on!" Chloe sighed "And watch the cute boys!" Chloe giggled.
"You can't even see their faces, how do you know they're cute?" Eva asked perplexed, as true enough you couldn't see anything through the players helmets.
"Research!" Chloe pulling up the team roster on her phone "look see … personally I'm rooting for the other team just look at those dimples!"
"How can you say that!? TRAITOR!" Lily whipping her head around in mock disbelief.
" Lily, stop being so over dramatic" Lily stuck out her tongue in response " ooo real great comeback there" both girls burst out laughing, Eva shaking her head smiling at the pair of them.
"And did you really online stalk the other team" Eva -
"A girl does what she must, besides I've only been on land a short time might as well live it up"
"Look they're putting in Jay and Carlos!"
The game seemed to fly by till it was down to the last few seconds everyone in the stands waited with bated breathe.
Jay passes the ball to Ben, ben makes a perfect shot into the goal.
"We won!" Chloe and Lily yelled together.
"Yippee" Eva un-enthusiastically
No sooner was the game over Prince Ben graved the mic from the announcer
"Give me an M"
"M"
"Give me an A"
"A"
"Give me an L"
"MAL!"
Then before Lily knows it her brother is serenading Mal! Even the crowd joins in!
"What in the world! Lily did you know about this?" Eva the two shared a concerned look both realizing that something was off.
"Not a clue, but I am so filming this!" Lily whipping out her phone trying to act like nothing was wrong.
"It's so catchy you can't help but sing along ... Ridiculous!" Chloe dancing along with the rest of the school.
"Ooo I am so not going to let him live this down!" the truth was she was worried this all seemed off. Ben would have told her if he like Mal so much, and last she checked he was still much to her dislike in a relationship with Audrey. Just last night they were talking about how he really felt about Audrey, he didn't even mention having feelings for Mal. Lily watches Audrey run off with Chad. Now no matter how much you dislike someone seeing them get practically dumped in public is never a pretty sight. Sure she bounced back fast and all, but something was really wrong ben would never treat a girl that way.
"Hey guys I'll catch up with you in your room. My brother has some explaining to do" waving good bye to the girls Lily rushes to catch up with the Turney team. Over hearing Chloe say something about meeting the hotties on other team.
"Oof sorry" rubbing her fore head she should of paid more attention, started to blush once she saw just who she bumped into "Oh hey Jay, congrats! MVP that's a big deal" looking past him into the crowd scanning for her brother. "Hey you have you seen my brother, I need to talk to him about something"
"Yeah, sure he's over there" Jay points near the bleachers
"Thanks!" avoiding his gaze
"Anytime" his sly smirk only makes Lily blush even harder. She shakes her head no distractions I'm on a mission she reminds her self. Wait when did Jay become a distraction? All thoughts of Jay are pushed out of her mind when she spot her bother not far off from where she was standing.
"Hey brother of mine are you feeling alright?"
"Never been better!"
"So Mal"
"I don't know why but I keep wanting to sing her name!"
"Well you already did that …. What about Audrey, your girlfriend?" crossing her arms
"What about her?" dreamy eyed
"When did you guys break up?"
"Just now! Didn't you hear me declare my love for Mal?"
"That's not breaking up with someone. I know you and Audrey were a bit rocky, which I admit made me happy, but still that's not how you break up with someone. I'd expect that from Chad, but not from you. Whenever you come back down to earth lover boy I'll be waiting" it was hopeless, it was almost like he was under a spell or something… wait it couldn't be she thought, but then ven never acted like this before. Just another thing for me to look into she thought. Sighing with annoyance Lily decided to call her mother as she was now officially out of her house arrest.
"Hey mom, I'm going to hang out with Chloe and Eva for a few hours I should be back by dinner time"
"That's fine darling how did the game go!"
"Great, but I'll let ben tell you all about it! Bye mom"
"Bye sweet heart" closing her phone Lily sighed she knew she should tell her mom her suspicions, but that wouldn't do anyone any good. Besides who was she to judge, she couldn't stop thinking about Jay. She pulled out her phone
Hey C I'll be about 30 min. I need time to think….
Okay see you then, I can't promise any of the food will be left though ( :p )
That's okay lol J
Lily ambled along outside thinking to herself before she finally sat a bench with her head in her hands. How did it come to this? Lily was so deep in thought she didn't even notice a certain tourney player as he sat beside her.
"What's got your head in a twist princess?" Lily's head shot up only to be nose to nose with no other than Jay. The one boy that was causing some of her headache.
"Nothing" her eyes staring intently at the hem of her skirt, her hands began to fidget uncontrollably. She knew she couldn't tell him her suspicions, or anything else for that matter as it was about him. "So you seem pretty popular with the girls" her hem beginning to look more and more interesting. Why did I ask him that! She thought mentally slapping herself.
"Yeah, they're not really my type"
"I thought every girl was your type" laughs starting to gain more confidence as the words come with ease. Jay nonchalantly shrugs in response "I mean you're all like hey there, and hey foxy" Lily mockingly tries to mimic Jay's top notch flirting techniques. "Does it really work? "
"Let's see" Jay turns his head to toss is hair blowing bits out of his face "hey there princess"
Lily starts to giggle puts her hand over her mouth to try to fight it. "Don't fight it, you know you want me" Jay stares her down his face contorted in a way that could only be described as the smolder. Lily just smiles "there it is, you were looking so serious before" vzzzzz Lily looks down at her phone only to see Chloe's name.
"Shoot! I completely forgot has it been 30 minutes already?"
Where are you L
Srry lost track of time ran into distraction. On my way!
"I got to go thanks for the laugh I needed one"
"Anytime princess" Lily just shakes her head running off to the girls' dorm never noticing Jay's longing look. If only it didn't have to turn out this way Jay sighs gazing after Lily and then to the trophy in his hand. He knew he had to tell the others that Lily may become a problem, but that was the last thing he want to do.
"Lily! Where were you I was about to send out a search party!"
"She really was" Eva said turning back to powering her fresh beignets
"Yeah, yeah is there any food left?" pushing past a concerned Chloe
"Of course Eva made enough to feed an entire army!"
"As long as there are Beignets, those babies are mine!" walking over to the sea water fish tank "hello coral, aren't you just the prettiest seahorse, yes you are"
"You know she hates you talk to her like that" Coral was the only thing Chloe couldn't bear to leave at home. She wasn't so much a pet as Chloe's longtime friend, and of course Chloe was the only one who could understand her. "And what distraction?"
"Ummm yeah so what movie are we going to watch? I'm thinking comedy or something sci-fi" trying desperately to avoid the question
"Oh no you don't, sit missy!" Eva
"Eeeevvvaaaa"
"Don't Evvaaaa me sit, or I'm cutting you off from the Beignets"
"Not the Beignets!"
"Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!" Chloe begins to chant as she jumped up and down on her bed.
"Fine" defeated "it was Jay"
"Jay as in new villain kid that Jay?"
"Yes" head down preparing herself for the on slot of reprimands
"Well he is cute …"
"And he's got that whole bad boy vibe which totally works!" Eva and Chloe nod in agreement.
"Wait what!" this is not at all how she expected them to react. She hadn't even told them she liked him yet! If she even did!
"Really Lil you think we didn't figure it out? You're totally head over heels for him." Eva
"Seriously after we had lunch with him the first time and the rest of the VK's and I said he was cute he said how much of a flirt he was and how full he was of himself"
"And it's the truth!"
"We catch the way you stare at him when you don't think we're looking" Eva
"Also you two are always talking at lunch! And in the hallways!" Chloe
Lily didn't know how she felt about him. Honestly she had more to worried about than boys the VK's were planning something, and now her brother was completely love struck. It was all up to her to make sure this didn't end up in disaster
"Okay, whatever you guys say" she laughs the notion off ignoring the looks that both girls were giving her "hey so I promised my parents I'd be home before dinner …." Trying to change the subject
"Right I've got the finest mermaid beauty masks, and every nail polish color a girl could want!"
"Ooo I so call this green one!" Eva said smiling nail polish in hand. Lily looked on smiling
