Chapter 6
In the dark of the night, Chazz sat in the car he had stolen from the woods. He remembered how we found about it. He remembered the sunny day last year when Atticus was constantly talking about the car he had found. Chazz smiled as he looked up at the gorgeous night sky and remembered how Atticus had said it was sent on a boat for a kid's sixteenth birthday, and the kid drove it to the forest and couldn't bring it home when he graduated. Chazz had never believed this story, but it was the most realistic out of anything Atticus had said. Chazz pressed his head against his the seat and wondered how he was at peace without Alexis. He thought of Jasmine as he looked at the empty passenger seat. He reminisced on how frightened and angry his red-headed friend was when he was speeding. He beamed at how she wanted to kill him after the drive. Chazz never thought about her reactions and how vast they were when she decided to be herself and relax. Chazz grinned as he thought on how much Alexis's…no…his new friend had helped him. He looked at the pearl moon and thought don't worry Jazz, I will help you, even more than you helped me. I don't know why I care for you in any aspect, and I shouldn't, but since when did anyone ever try unselfishly? I don't deserve a friend like her, so I better prove myself worthy.
Meanwhile, Mindy, Jasmine, and Alexis were relaxing in Alexis's dormitory. Alexis's room was filthy from all of her and Jaden's belongings. Mindy was doing her make-up while Jasmine was looking at Alexis who was rearranging her deck.
"So what's the deal with you and Chazz?" asked Mindy as she put on some mascara. Jasmine looked shocked, but just smiled sweetly.
"I told you, I'm helping him with his studies…" said Jasmine being cut off by Alexis's laughter. Alexis grabbed Jasmine's shoulders as she was trying to hold back her fit of giggles.
"C'mon Jazz, you can tell us," Alexis's words broke through her giggles, "I mean we can tell your lying." Mindy, who had finished her make-up, began to work on Alexis's eye shadow.
Mindy quickly replied, "It's like so obvious that you like him, Jazz." Jasmine's face turned into a bright shade of red. Mindy grinned deviously as Alexis let out a squeal. It was perfect.
"Yeah," responded Jasmine as she stood up to look out the window at the starry sky, "It's not like anything can happen. He still likes Alexis." Mindy looked at Jasmine with sympathy in her eyes, and then she quickly turned to do the Alexis' eyeliner and mascara.
"You don't know if he has gotten over me though," Alexis pointed out. Jasmine shrugged and continued to look out at the moonlit sky. She often wondered if Chazz had gotten over Alexis completely, but she didn't want to here the answer being a "yes" and figured it was best just to assume so.
"Do you want me to ask for you?" asked Mindy hopefully. Alexis looked thrilled at the idea of her not being the only taken one. Maybe it was a temporary way to ease her conscience, but she really did want the best for Jasmine.
"No," replied Jasmine, "I may like him, but I really just want him to be happy." Mindy nodded as she understood her friend's words. Mindy swore secretly that she would not let Chazz be with any other girl than Jasmine. Soon Jasmine departed from Alexis's dorm. Mindy stared at Alexis wondering what the blonde girl was thinking about.
Alexis inquired from Mindy, "What are we going to do?" Mindy flopped on her friend's bed and rolled to her side.
"Easy," said Alexis's scheming friend, "We get them together." That was the obvious answer.
"How? You heard Jasmine. He may still have a thing for me," pleaded Alexis. Mindy stood up and pulled Alexis to her feet.
"I think you need to trust me on this," Mindy answered. Alexis sighed as she watched Mindy's hopeful eyes widen. It was obvious that Mindy wanted Jasmine and Chazz together very badly.
"Why?" asked Alexis.
"Easy," said Mindy as she was about to leave her friend's dorm, "Because, she has liked him forever, and she is giving herself a chance to be with him, and I don't think she'd forgive herself if we let her blow it. So I am going to help her. Are you with me or against me?" Alexis agreed quickly after Mindy's speech.
As the trees rustled in the night wind, Atticus popped out of nowhere happily. He had a wide smile on his face. "Don't worry. I have a plan for those lovebirds together, but we have to work together against the stubbornness of Chazzy and Jazzy." The girls nodded as Atticus went through his elaborate plan.
