Chapter 9: A little it if this and a little bit of that


November 1st, Roy's cousin, Alain, had finally arrived. They all sat at lunch of either welcoming the mew student. It was safe to say, they were all happy to have a new member of the group even though they'd just recently added Toni too.

Alain was fine. He had killer looks that could rival Richard's. his long black hair was slicked back to perfection and he had the deepest brown eyes ever. He had a great cream

color skin and my oh my, his body was just plain amazing.

In the last few hours, the group had learned that Alain was a swimmer, a vegetarian, loved the ocean and animals, and he didn't have a girlfriend.

"Well it's good to have you in the group Alain!" Said Vic.

Alain smiled and replied, "Thanks for letting me in. I don't what I would've done if you hadn't. This school is all about cliques huh?"

Everyone gave a 'You have no idea' kind of look.

"That's basically what JC high is about." Explained Jade.

"Oh yeah, it's crazy. If you don't play sports, you're a loser." Said Kori.

Wally quickly added, "Yeah that's the truth. But for some odd reason, people don't consider us losers. We're kind of a mix of cliques."

Alain raised his eyebrows "Really?"

He said. "How so?"

"Well," Karen started. "me, Kori, and Jade do cheerleading."

Jade quickly pulled over a crutch and Alain looked over at her. "Except I had a pretty bad fall so I'm out the rest if the season."

Alain gave an apologetic look to her and she shook it off. Then, Richard continued with, "And me, Vic, and Roy play football. Gar is a stay-at-home lazy ass while Wally is the same way. Until track season starts."

Wally stood up proudly as pointed a thumb at himself. "Fastest kid on the track right here!"

"No lie. Wally's best mile time is 4:35." Jenny said. "Oh and I'm in Peer helpers, FCCLA, and Spanish club."

Alain raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is FCCLA?"

"Family, Career and Community, Leaders of America." Announced Kori.

"Oh, Kori is also our student council president." Jenny pointed to the perky red head who smiled widely. Alain smiled and asked Rachel, "What about you, Rachel?"

"Well for starters I'm a book worm. I spend a lot of time at the library and I enjoy peace and quiet. So the opposite of Gar."

Everyone laughed and Gar's face turned red. "Hey!"

They continued to laugh at the blonde until Toni came up to their table with a stack of flyers and her brown satchel. "Sorry I'm late guys," she handed the flyers to Kori. "Here, love. Principal Roth wants you to organize a bonfire for anyone interested in joining drama club."

Kori took the flyers and looked over them. Apparently, after all the seniors left last year, they've been running low on drama club members. So Principal Roth had spoken to Mr. Light about recruiting some more freshmen. Mr. Light was the one who ran the drama club.

Kori ran a hand through her long red locks. "Mmm...I guess I could through a bonfire at my house?"

"Do it. I think it would be fun!" Exclaimed Karen.

"I think I will...hey Toni. Have you me Alain?"

Toni looked over at Alain and smiled. He smiled back and she said, "I'm Toni Monetti. Don't worry I don't bite...hard."

Alain laughed and shook her hand, "Alain Schwimmer. And good to know? Haha."

"Well I guess I should go and talk to Mr. Light about this. I'll see you guys later." Kori got up and headed out of the cafeteria.

The group sat their letting Alain know all the roots to high school. They told him who the jocks were, the nerds, the weirdos, the assholes, everyone. Then gave a short summary about all the teachers and told them how Principal Roth was Rachel's mom. He looked at her and raised his eyebrows.

"Don't even." Rachel replied without looking up from her book.

Alain looked away quickly and Roy reassured him quickly. "She isn't a big fan of the whole 'Principal's daughter' type thing."

Alain said a low 'ohhh' and nodded his head. Just then, the bell rang and they all scattered.

"Hey, Alain. What class do you have?" Toni asked.

Alain fished for his schedule in his backpack. Once he found it, he scanned over the paper. "I have French with Mrs. Rouge."

"Cool! Me too. Wanna go together?"

"That'd be nice."

When the two teens walked off, Jade leaned over to Roy and said, "I think love is in the air."

Roy crossed his arms and looked at Jade. "Ya think?"

Kori sat in her bedroom creating new flyers for the bonfire next Friday. After talking to Mr. Light, they'd decided a bonfire would be great way to recruit members.

The group had joined drama club ate beginning of the year and they always had so much fun during the meetings. But they didn't have enough people to put on a play, work backstage, as do hair and makeup so they needed a few more members. The play this year that they'd be performing was called, 'A Simple Song.' It was a story about a girl who never really had much of anything. But she had a voice that could get her anywhere in life. The girl goes on a journey to find love, music, maybe even a family and on that journey she makes a few friends along the way.

They hadn't picked out roles yet but auditions were in three weeks. Kori, who loved acting, was going to try out for the main role, Myra. She'd been practicing her lines every night before se went to bed and even took a few voice lessons.

As she started to print out the flyers she heard her name being called by her dad. She saved the file, shut her laptop, and headed downstairs.

"Dad?" She asked as she saw her family settled down in the living room looking a bit uneasy. "What's going on?"

Myan's jaw clenched and he stared at the ground. Luan walked over to her daughter and led her to the couch next to Koma.

"Mom? What's wrong?" She asked again suddenly worried.

After a few moments passed, Myan finally spoke. "Kori."

The tone of his voice wasn't pleasant. Kori raised an eyebrow confused and hungry for answers. "Daddy, what is it?"

Myan sat up straight and rested his arms on his legs. He looked sternly at his daughter. "Kori, someone knows about us."

"So what do you think of Alain?" Roy asked Jade as they were sitting in his bedroom working on math homework.

Jade wrote down something and looked up. "He's super nice. Cute too." She looked back down and continued to solve her equation.

Roy sat there, mouth slightly agape. "Well...not as cute as me-right?"

"I don't know. Hey what'd ya get for number 5?" He asked without even looking up.

Roy sighed and looked at his paper. "Y=24."

"Cool. Me too."

Roy stared at his girlfriend confusingly. She'd been acting weird all day and he decided to solve this problem. "Jade-

"Nothing is wrong Roy. I was kidding about the Alain thing." She looked up at him and smiled. "You're way hotter than he is."

Roy smiled mischievously and said, "There's the Jade I know and love." He then grabbed her and kissed her on the lips. She reacted quickly and moved her lips against him rhythmically. Roy wrapped his arms around her waist and laid her down on the bed, knocking off their books and papers in the process.

She tangled her fingers in his soft, orange locks and they pulled away to catch their breaths. "I love it when you wear leggings." Roy panted as he grabbed her butt.

She laughed and began to kiss him again. The two teens spent a good two minutes doing this and then Roy began to move his hands down to her area.

Closer...closer...

"Red flag," Jade pulled away. "That's where I draw the line."

Roy sighed and they sat up on the bed. "Hey can't blame a guy for trying."

Jade laughed and looked down. "I'm not ready.."

Roy turned serious and grabbed Jade's face gently. "I know babe. I understand too. You can trust me." He kissed her on the forehead and enveloped her in he is arms.

Jade hugged back but couldn't bring herself to say the same thing. She felt a pang of guilt hit her and tears stung in her eyes. She quickly blinked them back.

'If only he knew, if only I could tell him. Everything would be better.'
