Pacific Coast Academy: 10 Year Reunion
Chapter 12: Jealous, Jealous
Jake and Quinn walked in her room. "What is all this stuff?" he asked.
"Just stuff. Now I want you to drink this blue stuff and tell me if it works."
"Where's my hundred dollars?" he held out his hand.
She dug in her pocket and slapped the money in his hand.
"Now what is it supposed to do? What is it for?"
"Well, a friend at work likes his ex. He talks about her everyday and goes on and on about her so I decided to shut him up by making this love potion. That way she can fall in love with him and yada, yada, yada." She handed him the potion.
"And this is supposed to make me fall in love with my ex?"
"Supposed to. Now drink it before I have to shove it down your throat."
He drank the stuff. "That's pretty good. It tastes like Kool-Aid," he smaked his lips.
She smiled at him.
Mike was hanging out Victoria.
"So where you live?" he asked.
"Los Angeles. My mom is an actress and that's where all the big stars live, you know. Where do you live?"
"New York. My momma is a firefighter."
"Isn't that a man's job?"
"No. If she's a firefighter, I guess it's not. What your dad does?"
"He's rapper trying to make it. He stays out late every night having meetings. He and my mom fight a lot. What about your dad?"
"Oh, that's your dad?" he laughed. "Dang." He looked over at her, seeing no smile at all then cleared his throat. "Um, my dad, he owns a rap label called. Got any brothers?"
"I have a sister. She like 6 months old and she cries a lot. What about you?"
"I have a brother and a sister. My sister is 8 and my brother is 4."
Lana was watching them from her window. She was starting to get mad. How dare Victoria try to steal her man? Well, he really wasn't her man, but she really did like him. She ran outside. "Hey, Mick, Victoria."
"It's Mike," he corrected her.
"Sorry," she smiled. "What you talking about?"
"Just stuff. Vic, I'ma catch you later."
"Okay."
He smiled and ran off. Lana just glared at her.
"Don't get close to him," she pointed her finger at her.
"He's just a friend."
"He's no friend of yours. That is my man, okay? Get that straight. Once he professes his love for me that is…. So stay away from him." She put her hand on her hips and stormed off. Victoria just looked confused.
Chase and John were arguing. Hearing the argument further down the hall, Zoey had came in. "Hey!" she yelled. They looked at her. "What's going on?"
"You need to tell Chase to stop playing his stupid guitar. I'm tired of it."
"I'm trying to practice," Chase said.
"Well, you need some lessons." They stared arguing again. Then they started pushing each other. Zoey got in the middle and stopped them. She heard them and they started talking about her.
"Oh, so you wanna get into that again?" John said. "Well, at least I had a kid with her. You're almost 30. That clock's running out, don't you think?"
"Well, at least we're getting married," he shot back.
"We were married so I had her first."
"But I have her now."
"That's because you stole her from me."
"I just pointed out what she wasn't getting from you. You weren't there for her."
"I've always been there for her! You just started some shit between me and her. So she got a divorce with me. And guess where she got her comfort from? Chase Matthews, her best friend. The first guy she met at PCA. The guy that was jealous when we started going out. The guy I found kissing her when I came home from work." John was now getting red in the face and breathing hard. Chase had nothing to say. Zoey was shocked. "We were happy together. We had the best life. Everything was perfect… until you ruined it."
Zoey touched his arm. "John, please…" He jerked away from her. "Just leave me alone." Then he stormed out of the room.
