Faith: Next part is pretty short. May post it late tonight.
House of Jealously
Alfie walked through the halls with caution, looking over his shoulders every so often with a crazed look upon his face. Without Jerome by his side he felt variable at the moment. He smiled and waved to the people he sometimes spoke to and walked to his locker. Alfie placed his books into his locker and gathered the items he needed for his next class. He thought he was going to make it out alive or unharmed, but as he closed his locker a familiar face made him shriek in terror. The girl had light brown skin with long black hair. She was beautiful, but something about her made Alfie panic.
"Jesse" Alfie squeaked out.
"Have you been avoiding me Alfie?" Jesse asked.
"Me. Aviod. You". Alfie said rolling his eyes. "No. The question is have you been avoiding me" he said pointing at her with a funny smirk upon his face.
"Why would I be avoiding you?" she said leaning in for a kiss.
Alfie turned away and smiled.
"No. No. No."
Jesse eyes locked to Alfie's like a hawk.
"I understand you have a girlfriend. I won't tell."
"Yes. Yes I do" Alfie excitedly agreed. "So just friends" he said extending his hand.
"Friends" Jesse said grabbing Alfie's hand pulling him in for a hug.
Down the hall Jerome turned the corner witnessing Alfie and Jesse in a tight embrace.
Jesse's hug made Aflie feel uncomfortable as she moved her hands down his body searching for….
Alfie jumped back. "Hands. Hands in new places" he said shocked as he watched Jesse walk down the hall with a smile.
Alfie stood frozen as Jerome walked to him with an evil smirk on his face.
"Jerome I'm scared" Alfie said.
"As well you should be. Just imagine I haven't run into Amy yet, so I should be the one who's.."
"Terrified" Alfie answered.
"In a word."
"Why can't we just tell the girls about those others?" Alfie asked.
"Because they will only become jealous, ask us question they know we don't have the answers to, and make us regret the day we ever met them for the rest of our lives."
"They could also save us."
"We didn't do anything wrong Alfie. We only spent a good amount of time with them without mentioning we had girlfriends at first. It's not our fault that they think we're going to break up with Mara and Amber and go running to them" Jerome said face turning grim with every word spoken.
"So we're dead?" Alfie asked.
"Dead indeed my friend" Jerome answered.
Down the hall Nina stood at her locker with the three items she received from an unknown source. The first clue she received was the envelope that said. "Open only when you come face to face with yourself". Nina thought she understood that riddle, but the two new items she received made no sense to her. What could she do with a stuffed bear, and what did this unique key unlock? What was the message behind its gender symbols engraved in it? Nina had so many questions, but yet she didn't want to alarm anyone at the moment. Their lives were already in danger last semester, she didn't want a repeat of that. Not now.
Lost in thought Nina was unaware of Fabian sneaking up behind her. His touch to Nina's shoulder made her jump in fear.
"Wow what has gotten into you? Fabian asked Nina.
"Fabian" Nina stopped.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"I'm fine. I just—."
Her words were stopped when she saw Eddie making his way towards them.
"Hey Fabian" Eddie said acknowledging the shorter Brit. "Nina can I speak to you…alone?"
A confused look were upon both Nina's and Fabian's faces. Eddie could also see that once the confused look faded from Fabian's face it was replaced with jealously. Still Eddie was determined to speak with Nina.
"Yeah sure" Fabian said with a transparent laugh. "I was headed to class away." He looked to Nina. "We'll talk later."
"Sure" she said as he left the halls.
Before Fabian entered the classroom he stared long and hard at Nina and Eddie and all he could do was imagine the worst.
