Jason frowned.

Garnet was avoiding him.

She has been since she was well enough to go back to school, only a couple days ago. And due to her injury - that a select few only truly know about - , she's been excused from Gym. So she has to go to the library to fill out worksheets. And she just doesn't bother to come to lunch.

It was frustrating and Ambrosia and other Jason fangirls were starting to move in on him now that Garnet was out of the picture.

But Jason didn't want Garnet to be out of the picture.

Jason dropped his head to the desk, discretely watching Garnet started to turn, but stopped. Her body tense as she jots down something Mr. Kammen had said about was going to be on an upcoming test.

In the next moment a note was slipped to him. Jason hoped that it was Garnet, but the hand writing wasn't hers.

Free next Saturday?

It was Ambrosia. Jason glanced at her to find her watching him. She smiled seductively at him and Jason couldn't help but compare it to Garnet's signature smile with a hint of a smirk. When Jason tried to imagine Ambrosia with it, it was all wrong. Her hair was much to dull and her eyes far too dark. There wasn't that hint of freckles over her nose and cheeks and there wasn't a sense of non-arrogance power coming from her. A vibe Jason can now say is just confident power. Confidence Garnet has in herself. Her capabilities.

Everything about Ambrosia just doesn't match up in Jason's mind and he was quite sure why. He had a guess, but that was far too ridiculous to actually believe.

No I'm hanging out with my brother on Saturday.

He sends back and watches, discretely, as Ambrosia's face flushed with anger, before she took a deep breath and wrote a reply back to him.

What about Sunday then?

Jason carefully kept his face blank as his gaze flickered up and caught Garnet's. There was confusion and a little bit of hurt and betrayal in her eyes before she forcibly tore her gaze away, raised her hand, got called on and asked to go to the bathroom. Mr. Kammen allowed her to go, and she was out the door, with her things, before he finished his sentence.

Jason frowned at her reaction but didn't change his answer back to Ambrosia.

No thanks. I've got better things to do.

Ambrosia's response was almost instant as her face was a bright shade of red.

Like what? Hang out with that bitch Kyle? Well news flash hot stuff, she isn't into you. She's playing you, whereas I'll take good care of you. I promise.

Jason puked a little in his mouth at her silent offer. His mind flashing back to when Garnet had found him and Dick on the roof watching a bank that a criminal was going to hit. He remembered her on top of him and pinned down under him. But she was calm, cool and collected, excited even, the entire time. She had enjoyed herself and her words to him, haunted his mind since then.

She was like the cat who ate the canary. Or the Robin.

And Jason already had his answer and he was getting sick of this chasing game with Garnet, especially after what she said to him as she left the Manor when she was well enough to be moved.

Don't flatter yourself. Garnet is way better then you in every area. BTW I now she playing with me. But it isn't same kind as the one your thinking of. It's why beyond your tiny mind and fake personality.

Ambrosia seethed as she read his response, all the while, Jason was gathering his things and left the room, not listening to the teacher's protest. Yea, Jason knew that he was going to get in trouble for this later on, but right now he had more important things to deal with. That being Garnet.

Jason grumbled as he searched the places Garnet might've gone. At least in the middle school portion of GA. Where did the damn cat go?

"Oh little pup. Don't strain yourself too much during daylight hours. Wait till its dark to find your prey." Felina's voice flittered all around him as he looked around at the deserted courtyard.

But no matter where he looked, he couldn't pinpoint where her voice came from. "Dammit, where are you?" He growled and got silence for an answer. He let out an exasperated sigh, that bordered being a groan.

"Meet me at the place where we slept together." Was the vague answer he got after a minute of nothing. Jason narrowed his eyes at nothing in particular.

"Will I get answers if I do?" He questioned and received a soft 'yes'. She was running again. But Jason couldn't chase her. And that pissed him off. He huffed and started to leave for his next class, as the bell rang and students began to flood the halls.

I'm taking requests for upcoming chapters. Also, school is starting soon so I won't be updating as often once that goes into full swing. An update for my other story 'Bat Boys and a Fairy' I'll be updating that hopefully soon. The current WIP chapter is stumping me.

Love, Blurry
