Author's Note:
Okay, sorry this took so long, but I either was busy or too lazy to update.
Plus, I need support...
Any ideas or suggestions will be taken in consideration :)
Tell me what you want to see in the story, and I'll try to put it in :)
Reviews would boost me to update faster.
Angie looked at both girls, struck by confusion and surprise
"Uh, what?" Angie raised an eyebrow.
Kayleigh sighed impatiently, "How in the world do you know Jack Mercer? We know he wouldn't date someone like you… or maybe he would, but anyways, spill it!" Helena was taking in deep breaths.
"Uh, he's my brother…"
"WHAT!?" Kayleigh and Helena yelled out at the same time. "Hell no! No way in hell can he be your brother!" Helena shrieked. Angie was taken back, "Why not…?"
"He's like the hottest and cutest guy in this school!" Kayleigh put her hands over her cheeks and grinned madly, "He is so adorable and that smile of his…" Helena leaned against the sink, sighing. Kayleigh smiled as she looked up at the ceiling.
Poor Angie was seriously dumbstruck. These two girls were… obsessed with her big brother. Wow, Angie though, wonders never cease…
Helena suddenly snapped her fingers, "I've got an idea. Angie, you introduce us to Jack. We'll help you become popular and one of the hottest kids in our year." Angie brightened up at this idea, "Really?"
Helena nodded, "Yeah, definitely. We'll help you pick out the latest styles, do your hair and make-up for you and well, you'll rule the year with us." Angie's eyes shone and she didn't stop to think. She nodded excitedly and startled the two girls by hugging them tightly.
Kayleigh wriggled herself out of Angie's grasp.
"Okay, rule number one, no hugging me unless I say so," Kayleigh said, holding her hands up.
Angie nodded, "Noted."
"Rule number two; if you see a really cute guy, you have to tell us. We'll decide on whether you should go for him, or if he's a loser. Rule number three; you have to sit with us during lunch. Rule number four; you have to spill everything about Jack to us. Rule number five; you have to keep us updated with Jack news. As for number six; you have to get Jack to notice us within the next one month, maybe just even smile at us. Deal?"
Angie thought about it…
"Deal."
They went back to the canteen, arm-in-arm.
Cass noticed them and nudged Jack, "Isn't that Angie with them sl-"
Jack clamped his hand over Cass's mouth. "Not here, Cass." Cass mumbled behind his hand and rolled her eyes at him before pulling away. Jack kept his eye on his little sister. She seemed happier than earlier, and waved for her to come sit with him. Angie grinned and was starting to walk towards him when Helena just yanked her back and pushed her in the opposite direction, "Nah uh, you're sitting with us!"
"But he saw us!" Angie exclaimed.
"We know! Duh!" Kayleigh groaned, "You're such a newbie to this, Angie. We're going to make him come over to us!"
Angie frowned, but nevertheless nodded.
They came to the table Angie had always admired from far.
Hunter was there.
"Hey guys, this is…" Helena looked at Angie for her name. "Angie."
"Yea, right, this is Angie. She's new to the group, so yeah, whatever. Just make her feel welcomed. Oh, and Gary, do get rid of that fringe. You look horrible with it," Helena said monotonously and sat down. Kayleigh sat in her spot, which left me to sit with Hunter.
Side by side.
Angie timidly shuffled her feet and sat down, looking down at her hands as she rest them on her thighs. "Hey, Angie," she heard a male voice say and she grinned, thinking it was Hunter. She looked up and saw it was Daniel. Daniel was older than Angie by two years. He was considered the coolest guy in school, just because his aunt was married to one of the judges on Britain's Got Talent show and he appeared in several commercials. He was also in the football team, which made him even more desirable. Even some of the senior girls are crazy over him. Daniel was rather good looking. He was about 5'7 and a half, and had dark coloured hair. His hair was wavy and soft, and whenever he smiled, dimples would appear. He had blue-ish eyes, which match his rather pale skin and he had a good body. It was fit, he had abs and he also had broad shoulders. His voice was smooth and low, causing many girls to fall under his 'spell'.
"Oh, hey."
Angie felt her cheeks turn pink, maybe red. She wasn't sure.
"So, doing anything this weekend?"
Angie gripped her chair tightly with one hand, and shook her head.
"Cool, wanna go watch a movie with me?"
Angie gaped at Daniel, and felt herself blush. Kayleigh laughed, "You're just way too cute and innocent, Angie. Say yes," she whispered to Angie. Angie nodded slowly and blinked several times. She jumped when Kayleigh kicked her foot softly, looking at her with 'the look'.
"Yeah, okay. Sure," Angie blushed.
Daniel grinned his famous grin and Angie felt a warm tingling in her stomach as he gazed down at her, looking deep into her eyes. She blushed and turned away.
Back at Jack's table…
"That was weird," Jack scrunched up his face, biting into what's left of his sandwhich. Cass stared at it. Jack shoved the rest of it into his mouth and was chewing on it when he noticed Cass was staring at him.
"What?"
"You eat really slow, Jackie."
"Don't call me that."
"It's cute."
"No."
"Yes."
"Shut up, I'm gonna go get Angie back here."
"Can I come along?"
"Sure."
Jack stood up and stretched, while Cass went to dump their trays. She came back soon, and together, they walked side by side to the table.
"Hey, Angie. Wanna go?"
"Hey, Jack! Well-"
"She's talking to me, Mercer. Bug off," Daniel laughed. The rest of the group laughed along.
Angie mouthed 'Sorry' to Jack. Cass stood beside Jack, with her right hand on his shoulder, and whispered into his ear. Jack nodded, and walked away, not glancing back the table. Angie looked down at her thighs guiltily and started picking at her palms. She felt a hand on her back and she turned to see it was Hunter's.
"He'll be okay," he shot her a half-smile and got up, saying, "Well, I think I'll go to the library to check out a few things I need for my report. See you guys later." With that, he left.
Angie sighed and kicked herself mentally.
She decided that she would apologize to Jack and Cass when school was over.
"Okay, class, I expect you all to pass up your homework by the end of the week. Darcy, do not forget to bring your books again tomorrow. We will need it in class. Jolene, stay back please. I want to talk to you. The rest of you, you may go," Mr. Willey called out as the school bell rang. Angie grabbed her bag off the floor and quickly walked out to the bus stand, where she saw Jack and Cass chattering away. She called out their names, "Jack! Cass!" Jack glanced at her and then looked away, while Cass turned to just stare at her. Angie slowed down her pace and came to a stop just a few steps away from them.
"Hi." Angie whispered.
"Hello," Jack said, ruffling his hair up, and smoothening it down again.
"Hey, darling," Cass sighed, "Well, see you during dinner then, Jack?" Jack nodded, and gave Cass half a hug, "See you at 6pm, Cass." She nodded and hugged him back, and waved to Angie, "Bye, Angie."
Cass turned and walked away from them, and they saw her climb into a car from a distance away.
"Dinner?" Angie asked Jack, confused.
"Yea, she's coming over tonight."
"Oh."
"Yea."
They stood together in silence.
"Look, Jack, about just now-"
A shriek interrupted them.
"ANGIE!! GUESS WHAT!! TAYLOR HICKMAN ASKED ME TO GO TO THE MOVIES WITH HIM!!" yelled this redhead who just appeared out of nowhere, squealing with glee. It was Amanda Ryans, one of the girls who sat at the table with her. Jack frowned.
"COME WITH ME, YOU HAVE TO HELP ME GET DRESSED AND WITH MY MAKE-UP. HE'S PICKING ME UP AT SIX!! WE ONLY HAVE TWO HOURS, ANGIE!!"
Angie cringed, "But, who's going to send me home? You live on the other side of town, and by the time we're done, it would be late and I can't walk home alone in the dark."
"Oh, psh, my father can send you home. Come on, we have to go now!"
"Go with her, Angie. I'll tell Jerry you won't be following us home." Jack picked up his stuff and walked away, leaving Angie with Amanda.
Angie felt hurt.
She was about to run after him when Amanda pulled her by the hand and the both of them whizzed off to Amanda's house in her mother's car.
