Hello, how are all of you? Me I'm fine, I sort of got writers block again and I don't know why. Thanks for reviewing that chapter, I'm totally happy at all the results I get, thankyou. My life is still boring so I don't have much to write for what I did today, apart from the fact that my feet are killing me from due to my mum taking me shopping. So poor me. But I think I'll get to the story now.

Jinx sat on a swing in the park, it was a cool autumns day and the wind was blowing at her long black hair. It was peaceful and empty, true loneliness, Jinx smiled slightly as she thought how she was going to be alone for Christmas. Joey was in hospital after the chemistry lab blew up at school and Jarryd was at university studying hard for his exams.
The pink eyed girl was still slightly troubled about the whole locket incident and it was only about a few weeks after that did she feel the that same, she was anxious as to what this feelings could lead to.
Jinx had quit her job at the restaurant and was now a part time model for Louisa's mum's magazine Wot's News dealing with everyday life, teenager problems, fashion and make up and recipes, just the stuff you get in other magazines. It was a magazine that both boys and girls could read cause it had a sports section and a car section. Jinx smiled happily as she remembered how terrible Robin looked when he walked in Neon's, the damage that Jinx and Kai put on him was, lets say black and blue, her and Kai snickered for hours that night at the sight of the black haired man.
Swinging slightly on the park equipment she pulled out the latest edition of Wot's News (I got a A when I did this assessment task for English and this is what me and my friends called the magazine) on the front cover was her dressed in a formal cream dress that was blowing behind her as she leaned onto a purple wall, the dress reached her ankles and was a silk and see through material, the top part was almost corset type, tied up the front, the see through sleeves went past her hands and almost reached the floor, the sleeves were slit up from the elbows down. The title in green letters was 'New Year Dresses and Fashion Tips' fashion tips were written by Louisa as her mum designed the magazine.
Jinx put the magazine back in her bag and returned to sulking around, she pushed from the ground and started to swing while thinking about what she could do for the holidays. Louisa had gone to Europe with her family and Kai had gone to Russia to visit his family. She was deciding to go to the cabin in the mountains to have a little break but she didn't feel like going by herself, she could've also gone to China to visit her distant cousin twice removed or something, just to have someone to celebrate Christmas.
While she was deep in thought she didn't realize someone sitting in the swing next to her, turning her head to the right she nearly jumped out of surprise, "Tala, when'd you get here?" she gasped.
"Just now, didn't feel like disturbing you, looked like you were thinking hard," he shrugged pushing off from the ground.
"Tala, do you reckon I should go visit my cousin…in China?" she asked quietly.
"Where the hell this topic come from?" he exclaimed looking over at the girl, "and you have a cousin?" he asked curiously.
"Just because my parents are dead doesn't mean I don't have other relatives," she snapped, glaring at the red head.
"Well if you really want to go you can, I'm going to Kai's place in Russia, if you're going to leave to go somewhere why not go with me, he won't mind" Tala slowed down then he added, "I also saw the latest edition of the magazine, you were good," he complemented.
"What just standing around while all they have to do is press a button and I'm saved on a roll of film, it's not particularly difficult, you know," she said shaking her head, "I don't know I mean it's his Christmas with his family and no I'll just wait here till everyone comes back and stuff," she replied to his offer.
Tala chuckled to her first answer, "ok then anyway, how's your brother, I walked past the school and they're fixing up the damage that the evil delinquents did," he said smiling, "it probably won't be fixed until after we start school so we don't have to do much," he said smiling happily.
Jinx smiled too, "we might have a free period, so I see you named my brother and Kai's brother as 'evil delinquents'" she did quotation marks with her fingers still holding onto the swing.
"It's boring calling them Joey and Andrew, just call them something easy and simple," he shrugged again.
"Do you miss them? I'm bored things aren't the same without Louisa and Blue," sighed Jinx slowing down and coming to a stop.
"You miss Kai, please tell," Tala said also coming to a stop.
"It's boring having no one to insult," she thought quickly, "and I know you miss Louisa, please tell," she repeated his words.
Tala tensed and tried thinking of an excuse, "you first," he smirked getting himself out of the trouble he got into.
"I told you my reason, if your unwilling to answer me then I'll just assume you like her," she said in a matter of fact tone.
"Well you assumed correct," Tala's eyes widened and he quickly covered his mouth, "how'd you do that?" he asked shocked.
"Knowing you for almost six years, Tala, you learn the habits of people, your habit is saying things without thinking, which would lead you to why you're good at being third speaker for debating in English," she said smirking slightly.
"You know me that well," he said dumbfounded, "and I hardly you know you," he exclaimed.
"You do, you just don't really pay attention to what you know, unless you really need to know, then that's a different story," she thought, "so when are you planning to ask Louisa out?" she asked looking at him.
"I don't know, when are you going to ask Kai out?" he returned with a question.
"What makes you think I like Kai?" she scoffed looking away.
Tala smirked, "I guess this would be a good time to tell you, that I can read you like a book, your eyes tell me everything, especially when you look at the boy, tell me have you opened the locket?" he asked getting off the swing.
Jinx followed him out of the park, "no, do you know how?" she lied.
"No," lied Tala, "anyway, I've got to pack I'm leaving tomorrow, bye."
"Bye," said Jinx walking to the hospital.

"Hey, how're you feeling?" whispered Jinx pulling a chair next to the two beds to Andrew and Joey.
"We've got some broken ribs and lots of bruises, how do you think we feel," snapped Andrew sitting up.
"Hey, you both get to leave soon, Andrew you're staying with me for the holiday's as Kai and Ruby went to Russia," told Jinx leaning back in her chair.
"You mean I don't have to go and see the evil bat known as Voltaire," said Andrew rather quickly, "we all hate him, he wanted to dump us all in a lake and let us drown."
Jinx looked at him like he was crazy, "you're family is even more weird than I thought," she muttered.
"Dude, your family is cool, with the whole crazy grandpa thing, all we got is a crazy Jarryd that chases me with the wooden spoon and Jinx with the butcher knife," said Joey looking over at his best friend.
Jinx giggled, "you should see the scar he gave me last time he chased me around the house, I made him feel guilty and made him do my chores until I finally accepted his apology."
"I remembered that," snickered Joey, "you made him do the laundry, but that was your fault you made him do it, he ends up making the clothes pink, ow," Joey winced as a sharp pain went through his left side.
Jinx smiled, "so tell me how'd you attempt to blow up the school?"
"Just a bit of this and some small dynamite and firecracker sticks we found in your room," explained Andrew grinning widely.
"Guys they were for the last day of school, I wanted to put them in the principles office," whined Jinx.
"What did the principle ever do to you?" asked Joey lying back down on the bed.
"It's more the fact that he lives, than what he's ever done to me and plus I might be doing the school a big favour," shrugged Jinx getting up, "I better go you need to sleep or do whatever you do here," Jinx kissed each of them on the cheek before leaving.

Jinx walked up to her room when she got home and decided to get on to her email. She had a new email and by the address it was from Kai, she opened it up and read the following message.
Tala called before and said that you weren't coming; I think he forgot to tell you that your friend was stopping by as well. But if you're not coming then I don't have to baby sit you, any who how's my brother doing?
Jinx quickly replied, and typed fast on her black keyboard.
So Louisa's going, cool. Maybe I will go
Jinx paused and thought 'I really don't want to see him, then I'll be more confused and stuff, but then if Louisa is going then I can have someone to talk to about my problems and she'll end up keeping me busy' she finished writing the email.
Maybe I will go, just to annoy the living shit out of you, but it will have to be in a few days when our brothers get out. Anyway I saw this man and he stacked down a flight of stairs outside this building and I couldn't stop laughing and then he started laughing and then I immediately thought 'Blessed is he that can laugh at himself, he will never cease to be amuse,' how's it in Russia?Jinx stopped writing and sent the message, she logged out and started to book three tickets to Russia for a morning flight on the following Thursday. 88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
Jinx sat on the bed and thought deeply about the mixed feelings in the pit of her stomach 'how did I fall for him? I thought I hated him, which was since we were kids we never got along and why did this change,' she thought lying down on her bed. She pulled out the necklace and opened it again and read the message engraved on the inside.
'He was everything you want in a guy, funny, intelligent, handsome and caring…at least when he wants to be. Remember one thing he liked you when he gave you the necklace last year and when you were kids he had some kind of feelings for you, you were just to naïve. '
'I'm not exactly good at this' thought Jinx nervously.
'Well you've gone through the first step of admitting your feelings, now you just have to do something about it,' reasoned her inner voice.
'You have got to be kidding me, anyway I'm beat let me go to sleep,' Jinx blocked out the voice and shut her eyes for yet another peaceful kind of sleep.
