A/N: Haha! 2 chapter's in 1 day! I am on a roll! I got sick of writing in the author's point of veiw, so now I'm writing from the character's point of view. It's easier.
Happy 4th of July!
Alex's POV
"MAX?" Harper and I said in unison.
Max? This is so gross. My little brother! He's disgusting! How could a girl ever like him? Many old women that come in the sub shop say he's 'cute', but that's not the same thing!
What is wrong with the Finkle family? Harper liking Justin, and Jasmine liking Max. I wonder if they have a male cousin my age…
I am still appalled.
Harper's POV
Awww! This is so cute! She has a crush on Max! Even though Max's is disgusting, I want to help Jasmine!
If it doesn't work out between me and Justin, then Jasmine could get married to Max! Hm… I'll start planning already… What dress should Jasmine wear? Maybe a dress made of jasmines! To match her name! Yeah…
Jasmine's POV
I'm starting to get scared. Alex is looking at me with a disgusted look on her face. And Harper has an extremely happy look on her face. I have no clue what either of them are thinking. I knew Alex doesn't like people liking her brothers. But, at school, I didn't know Max was her brother. I didn't even know Alex yet.
It all started in science class; we got set up as lab partners. Somehow he exploded the frog we were dissecting. I asked him to do the dissecting part, and I would write everything down. I don't like thinking of poor little dead frogs. He didn't seem to mind to do it. Gosh, he was so manly.
When I was writing down what Max said about the frog's liver, the frog suddenly exploaded. We weren't even working with chemicals that day! It was like it happened with magic! Oh, Jasmine, what are you thinking? You watch too many fantasy movies.
Then I suddenly got back to the real world, "I didn't know he was your brother!"
One of Alex's eyebrows went up, "Okay…"
Harper, still with a giant smile on her face asked, "How did it all happen?"
"He's in my science class. We were dissecting frogs. And I asked him to do the dissecting while I wrote everything down. He didn't even complain!" I smiled from the memory.
"Awwww!" Harper said.
"I usually make mine dance on a stick," Alex said.
"I think the story was adorable, Jasmine," Harper said.
"Yeah," I said, "But the weirdest part, was that he made the frog explode. I didn't see how it happened, but he somehow did it. I turned around and the frog was on fire. Weird, huh?"
"Um… yeah… weird," Alex said.
Alex's POV
Oh no! She know's! Wizards and stuff… I saw a Harry Potter book in her backpack. Maybe she's a wizard?
"We weren't even working with chemicals that day," Jasmine said curiously.
"Huh… weird," Harper said nervously.
This is horrible! She knows! She knows!
"Max said the sun caught it on fire. I guess it could," Jasmine wondered.
Max has to be the worst liar ever. We are all screwed! I needed to figure out something clever, if she was a wizard, we need to give her hints…
"So… Jasmine… do you like Harry Potter?" I asked.
"Yeah. I've seen 6 of the movies. I wanted to read the books, because people kept saying they were way better than the movies," Jasmine said.
"They are!" Harper, the Harry Potter lover said, "I love those books!"
"I don't read books," I said, "So, you like fantasy?"
"Yeah. I love magic and stuff. I watched Disney movies when I was little. I grew up loving magic and stuff," Jasmine said, "I love dressing up as witches for Halloween. I wish I was a real one."
If she was a wizard, she was pretty good at hiding it. 'I wish I was one.' I don't know many wizards, but my family doesn't usually talk about that kind of stuff. We usually stay away from the subject.
"If I was a wizard," Jasmine continued, "I would try to save the environment, by picking up trash and stuff, magically."
Why don't we do that? Oh yeah, rules, mortals watching us, not enough experience. So many ways we can't help the world.
"I think most wizards use more magic for selfish reasons," Harper said, looking at me.
"Like what?" Jasmine asked.
"Getting ready fast, teleporting, cooking, getting out of being grounded by making duplicates, ect." Harper said. Gosh Harper, now she's going to be really suspicious.
"What book is that from?" Jasmine asked.
"Oh, she was just guessing," I said.
A/N: Is Jasmine a wizard? Will she ever be with Max? OMG! FROGS!
I got the frog idea from a book called "Secret Santa" by Sabrina James (my favorite book). I recomend you read it, if you like EXTREME cheesy-ness. I wouldn't read it now, since it is a Christmas book, but maybe you will during Christmas? Maybe? No... I know I said cheesy. Lots of people don't like cheesy. But the book was well written. The movie "Valentine's Day" reminded me of it; A bunch of difforent stories coming together. :)
Who else NEVER wants to disect a frog? (I never have. Thank goodness I went to a weird school... Maybe I will in high school next year. NOOO!)
Remember to tell me if Jasmine ever seems "mary-sue-ish"! Thank you! :)
