Townsville High

~Hey people! Thanks for the reviews. This chapter will be in two parts, it is very long!~

Chapter Six - Jealousy is my favorite game, Part One.


Buttercup walked into the gym for Boxing class.

She sighed in relief when she noticed that Butch was no where to be seen. After the other day, she wasn't in the mood to deal with him. Buttercup stood in front of her punching bag and let it loose. She was getting all her anger out. Her anger at Butch. After a minute or two, she heard someone clapping behind her.

She spun around and seen a very attractive boy clapping.

He had black hair like Butch's, but not spikey, in a messy style. His eyes were bright blue, and absolutely gorgeous. Buttercup wasn't one of those girls who would swoon at an attractive boy thought, so she didn't even crack a smile.

"You're pretty impressive." He grinned. "I'm Brett Jonas, and you are?"

She didn't look amused. "Leaving."

Buttercup began to walk away, but Brett caught up with her. She turned to him with her arms crossed. His smile was so inviting, it was making her want to talk to him.

"Listen, I know you don't have a date to Brody McKane's party tonight, so I just wanted to know if you'd go with me." Buttercup's facial expression remained bored and unimpressed. Brett chuckled at her. "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you like that, I just need a date and you do too. We could both help each other out a bit."

Buttercup sighed, realising he had a point. "Fine, just try not to annoy me all night, pretty boy." She hissed.

"I won't, pretty girl." He smirked as she rolled her eyes and walked away. Brett's smile only grew wider when he saw someone he once knew walk past. Maxine glared at him with daggers, and walked away. Brett smirked as he watched her leave. "This should be fun." He said aloud.


Blossom was a wreck.

She had been avoiding Brick all day, all because of that dream she had about him. Who could blame her? It was pretty much her subconscious warning her that she had feelings for him, which she was sure she didn't have. It was going to be hard to avoid him when they would both be at the same party tonight.

She began banging her head on the table at the thought. She couldn't avoid him much longer. Just when her head was getting sore, she heard someone chuckle and sit down beside her.

"You'll get brain-damage doing that, you know?" Brody.

Thank god, it's not Brick.

Blossom looked up and sighed. "Hey, Brody. What are you doing in the library? Shouldn't you be planning the party tonight?" She asked politely.

"It's all done. Me and Max pulled an allnighter and got everything done." He explained. "Now, usually when girls start banging their heads on tables, it means boy trouble. I might be a boy myself, but you can talk to me about it."

Blossom smiled widely. "It would be pretty weird talking to you about this. You're pretty darn close with the guy." Brody's eyebrow raised and he got a thought. He gave her a serious look, one that would seem funny under different circumstances.

"It isn't Butch, is it?" Blossom made a face and shook her head. Brody laughed it off, but seemed embarrassed for even thinking it would be him. Then he realised who it was and narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, It's Brick." She nodded, and he continued. "That's pretty unexpected."

She rolled her eyes. "Your telling me."

"Listen, Brick is my girlfriend's best friend, so I know him pretty well. It took a lot for him to be nice to you after your..history, he wouldn't have done that if he didn't like you at all. You just need to tell him how you feel. Tonight." Brody suggested. Blossom frowned after that and let her face fall on the table again.

"He's going with Carly Clark." Her voice sounded a little muffled considering she had face-planted a table. Blossom couldn't see Brody, but she knew his facial expression was somewhat impressed. Obviously this girl was the real deal.

"Well mabey you just need to prove to him that even thought his date is perfect, and totally gorgeous-" Blossom groaned at his comment. "-She's got nothing on you. Just tell him how you feel, or you will regret it."

Blossom brought her head back up and turned to him. "You're right, Brody. Thanks."

"Anytime." He smiled.

"Oh, damn!" Blossom exclaimed. "I haven't even asked anyone to the party! I've been so wrapped up in this Brick thing I forgot you needed a date."

Brody shrugged. "You can be the exception. After all you don't need a date, considering you'll be leaving with someone else's." He smirked in a cute way. Blossom rolled her eyes and laughed. Brody bidded farewell and left Blossom to think about what she was going to say to Brick.


Bubbles opened her front door, and smiled when she saw Boomer.

His jaw dropped when he saw her. She looked angelic, which was what she was going for, considering she dressed up as an angel. She was wearing a white summer dress, which had small straps and a puffy skirt. She also wore white heels and a halo which she bought from the costume shop.

"You look so beautiful." Boomer said, forgetting that he was in charge of his own mouth. Bubbles blushed awkwardly. She started to wonder if he was taking her as a friend, or if he thought this was a real date.

"..Thanks, Boomer." She replied politely.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's get a move on!" Buttercup said as she pushed past the pair and stormed into Boomer's car. Buttercup hadn't made as much as an effort. She was going as a vampire, so she put on a black shirt, black shorts, red cape and red high tops. No effort. She still managed to make herself look amazing though.

Blossom came down the stairs looking like she had put a lot more effort in. She wore a beautiful long red dress, black tights and red heels. Her dark red hair was in perfect curls. She looked very gorgeous, obviously wanting to impress someone.

"You look amazing, Bloss." Bubbles beamed. Boomer admired her aswell, but still thought she didn't look half as good as Bubbles. Blossom smiled at her sister and walked out, as did the two blondes. Butch and Brick were going to take Brick's car and meet them there. They all hopped in Boomer's car, and set off for Brody's house.

After a short ride, they appeared at his house. The girls were shocked at how beautiful this house was. It was large, not like a Mansion, but close. White picket fences trailed along the front, and into the gorgeous garden. The house was white too, with a red door. They had never seen such a beautiful house.

"Holly crap, dude!" Buttercup gasped. "Brody's rich!" She added. Boomer chuckled and got out of the car, opening the door for the girls to do also. "Yeah, he doesn't like telling people though." Boomer mentioned.

"You know, I always wondered what Maxine seen in that boy, now I know." Buttercup joked, making Bubbles laugh. Blossom wasn't pleased with that comment and elbowed her sister in the side.

"Be nice, Buttercup." Blossom scolded. Buttercup rolled her eyes and began walking towards the house. She seen many teenagers around the house, a couple she recognised from school. They all walked in the house, and were greeted by Brody and Maxine.

"Glad you guys could make it." Brody said. He was dressed as a police officer, with a perfect costume, and Maxine was dressed as an escaped 'Jail Bird' wearing a striped black and white dress and heels. They looked very cute.

"Yeah, Brick and Butch are already here." Maxine said. Buttercup rolled her eyes when she saw her date, Brett, walk in. She began to walk over to him, and smiled politely, although she didn't really like this boy at all.

She sighed. "Hi Brett. You didn't dress up? Lucky. My sister forced me to." Brett chuckled at her, and admired her outfit. She looked pretty good in it, although she made no effort what-so-ever.

"I think you look amazing." Brett said with a charming smile.

"This isn't a date, you can't say shit like that. You don't even know my name." Buttercup narrowed her eyes. She was getting annoyed already, this boy was something else.

Brett grinned. "Tell me then."

"Buttercup."

"Beautiful name, for a beautiful girl." He was even more charming that Tyler, which was hard to achieve. Buttercup wasn't falling for it though, she wasn't her sister. She rolled her eyes and turned away.

"I'm going now, try not to drool on my cape." She spat before walking away to go find her sisters. She stopped in her tracks when she saw that her sisters were with Brick and Butch. Now she had to deal with Butch, great. She sighed and walked off to find someone else.

She saw Maxine running up to her. "Buttercup..is your date Brett Jonas!?" Buttercup was slightly worried by her tone of voice. Maxine must have seen them talking.

"Yeah, he is. Why?" She spoke slowly.

Maxine frowned. "He's an absolute prat, I'd stay far away from him if I were you!" Buttercup raised her eyebrow.

"Don't worry, Max. I needed a date and so did he, but we're not dating. I can't stand the boy, he's got about as much charm as a box of hair." Maxine laughed and sighed in relief.

"Good."

"Why do you hate him so much anyway?" Buttercup asked, entruiged.

"..I don't hate him, I don't even know him. I've just heard that he's a bad guy." Maxine said unconvincingly. Buttercup could tell there was more to the story, but didn't want to force it out of her, so she let it go.

"Well you don't need to worry, I'm keeping my distance from him anyway." Buttercup said. Maxine smiled brightly and muttered something about going to see Brody before walking off. Buttercup watched her go, trying to think what Brett could have done that was so bad, that Maxine didn't want him near her. She was determined to find out.

Meanwhile, Bubbles spotted Tyler and his blonde bombshell of a date, Amanda.

He had his arm around her and was whispering something into her ear, making her giggle like a child. Bubbles scoffed. She crossed her arms and sent death glares his way. He noticed her and stared into her eyes for a second, before turning his attention back to his date. He kissed her. Bubbles didn't want to see this anymore. Tyler said something to Amanda, and she left. He looked back over to Bubbles and began walking over to her. She walked up to him too.

"Oh shit." Boomer cursed when he saw them walking over to each other. He ran up and pulled Bubbles back by the arm. She stumbled back a bit and looked at Boomer, confusion on her face.

"Let's get a drink or something." He said before dragging her away from Tyler. Tyler raised his eyebrow, for the first time, realising who her date was. He looked very angry. Tyler narrowed his eyes before walking back over to his date, ready for the games to begin. After all, jealousy was his favorite game.


Butch walked into the main hall, and seen Bubbles and Boomer chatting. He wasn't paying much attention but was quite amused by what Boomer was wearing. A brown wig and beach clothes. Much like..oh dear god. Butch sighed and walked over to the pair.

Butch smacked his forehead. "Boomer, did you seriously come to a Halloween party as Charlie Sheen?" Boomer glared at his brother and nodded. Butch rolled his eyes at the idiot he called a brother.

"Think about it, I'm Charlie Sheen, she's an angel." He motioned between the both of them. "That makes her 'Charlie's Angel'..like the movie!"

Butch sighed. "You too really need to get lives."

"Hey, it was his idea!" Bubbles exclaimed. She didn't like people talking to her like that. Butch wasn't surprised, this idea had Boomer written all over it. Butch hadn't even dressed up, he found it childish. Butch decided to change the conversation before the two blonde's decided to argue.

"Have you seen Buttercup? I want to annoy her." Butch said with a mischievous glint in his eye. Bubbles pointed to the other end of the main hall, where Buttercup was drinking her body weight in alcohol and watching Brett with narrow eyes. Butch smirked and walked over, causing her to stiffen and look away.

He sat down beside her and took the bottle she was holding, and took a long swig. "Well this party is pretty interesting. Why am I not surprised that you're the girl who sits, drinking alone, in the corner?" He teased. Buttercup gave him a death glare before snatching the bottle back. He chuckled.

"You're mad about last night, aren't you?" He asked.

"Gee, what gave you that idea?" Buttercup said before taking another swig of the bottle. Butch chuckled again and turned to her, before grabbing the bottle off of her again, making her very annoyed.

"Usually girls are begging me to kiss them, you should be thankful." Butch smirked at the look on her face. She grabbed the bottle back and stood up.

"Look, you helped me out the other night, and you said you'd leave me alone, so why are you still here!?" She snapped. Butch stood up, ready to argue. Buttercup looked ready to kill, she didn't like spending time with Butch, obviously she didn't.

Butch opened his mouth to shoot something back, when a feminine voice interrupted him.

"Butchie! I've been looking for you everywhere." A short girl said. Buttercup was disgusted. This girl had very long brown hair, and gorgeous brown eyes. She was wearing a french maid uniform, sorry, a slutty french maid uniform. The dress she wore didn't leave much to the imagination. This was obviously Butch's date.

"Go back in the living room, Rachel. I'll be back in a second, babe." He said giving her a charming smile. Rachel smiled back and gave him a kiss on the cheek before skipping back into the living room. Buttercup scoffed and gave him a look.

"Don't let me keep you," She spat. "Go back to your date."

With that said, Buttercup stormed off to go find someone. She walked into the living room, and saw Brett, chatting with a few fellow members of the football team. She smirked and walked over to him. Buttercup tapped his shoulder, and he turned around, smiling when he saw her.

"Buttercup, nice to see yo-" He was cut off mid-sentence when Buttercup crashed her lips onto his. He was a little stunned, but kissed back. His arms wrapped around her, but Buttercup stood perfectly still. She didn't kiss a lot of guys so she wasn't sure how to act.

Two people where watching, one annoyed, and the other worried.

"What the hell is she doing!?" Maxine cried.

Butch shrugged. "I don't know, trying to make me jealous." Maxine raised her eyebrow at Butch, finding that answer a little confusing. She furrowed her brows.

"Jealous? Since when were you too anything more than acquaintances."

"I kissed her." He stated. "I'm guessing she's either making me jealous, or trying to give me the hint that she's not interested in me."

Maxine sighed. "I think it's the second one, Butch, but either way Brett is not the person she should be doing this with! He's a really bad guy, we need to get her away from him." Butch raised his eyebrow.

"Whenever you see Brett in school, you give him evil glares and walk away. What could he have done that was so bad?" Butch was curious. Maxine shook her head slowly, not taking her eyes away from the pair that were now in a heated kiss.

"It doesn't matter, just do something." She walked away.

Butch raised his eyebrow again, watching the pair.


"Brick." Blossom said nervously.

He turned around and smiled at Blossom. She couldn't help but giggle at how cute he looked dressed up as a devil. He had a red cape like Buttercup's, but slightly different, and horns. He wore all red clothing, and looked absolutely adorable. Blossom smiled nervously. She was going to tell him about the dream, and that she was starting to have feeling for him. It would be hard trying to tear him away from his date, thought.

"Hey, Pinky," He motioned towards a brunette he was with. "This is Carly." Carly looked Blossom up and down, and smiled deviously. Blossom could tell it wasn't genuine. She had heard this girl was quite a mean girl, so she wasn't expecting her to be nice at all. Carly was as tall as Brick, taller than Blossom, and had long strait blonde hair with hints of red. She was dressed as a cat, with a latex black costume. She looked amazing.

"Hello." Blossom said awkwardly. Carly narrowed her eyes at the red-head, but then smiled sweetly, obviously in a fake way.

"Nice to meet you, Blossom. That's quite an interesting name, you must have some fascinating parents." Blossom's smile faded at the mention of parents. She hated being reminded of her father, who was no longer here. Brick noticed this and quickly changed the conversation.

"Uh..Carls, can you go find Boomer for me? I need to ask him something." Brick said, eager to get her away. He liked Carly but she obviously wasn't fond of Blossom, and this party didn't need any more drama. Carly nodded.

"Sure, babe." She said sweetly. Carly gave Blossom a devious smile before pulling Brick into a passionate kiss. Blossom actually had to look away. When she pulled away, Carly smirked before walking off to find Boomer. Brick smiled sheepishly before turning back to Blossom.

"She seems..nice." Blossom said.

"Oh, she can be mean but she's amazing once you get to know her." Brick said. Blossom sighed and looked away, crossing her arms. How could she tell him she has feelings for him, when he's so interested in this date of his. Blossom was starting to regret even coming here in the first place.

"I'd love to stay and talk, but I'm going to go get very drunk." Brick said chuckling. "I'll see you later, yeah?"

Blossom nodded, and watched him leave. She felt all her emotions at once; pain, sadness, regret, even hatred towards Carly. She didn't want to feel like this, but she didn't have a choice. Mabey once he got drunk she'd be able to get him away from her, hopefully.


"Wow, what brought that on?" Brett asked, glaring at Buttercup. She slyly looked at Butch, then back at Brett, and smirked.

"Just trying to annoy someone. Hope you don't mind." Buttercup said with a smile. Brett chuckled and shook his head. He didn't mind at all, after all, he found Buttercup very attractive. Who wouldn't?

"You know, I was warned about you," Buttercup said. "Apparently you're a pretty bad guy."

Brett smirked. "That I am. Let me guess, it was Max that warned you?"

"Yeah. Any idea why she dislikes you so much?" Buttercup raised her eyebrow, hoping to get the truth out of him. See, she figured if she kissed him, and batted her eyelashes, she could get the information out of him. Smart girl. Too bad Butch thought it had to do with him.

"No idea." Brett said.

Buttercup narrowed her eyes. "Weird. Well, if I need your assistance again, I'll be back. See you around, Brett." She said before walking away, an annoyed look on her face. If even she couldn't get this information out of him, it wouldn't be easy for anyone else to. She needed a new plan.

In the other room, Bubbles was downing her sorrows with alcohol. She didn't even drink, but having to watch Tyler smooch the face off Amanda wasn't fun, and she didn't want to do it in her right mind. She sighed when she saw Tyler and Amanda acting all cute on the couch. He was kissing her in a way that first loves would, and it made Bubbles sick.

This Amanda girl was attractive, but had nothing on Bubbles, so why was he so interested. Bubbles let out a long sigh and took another drink, trying to rid her mind of him.

"I'm going to talk to him, and find out why he came with her." Bubbles told Boomer. He widened his eyes and spoke quickly before she could stand up and make a scene.

"No!" He blurted out.

"No?" Bubbles repeated in confusion.

Boomer thought quickly. "I mean..he wont tell you anyway. He'll either say something to upset you or say nothing at all. Trust me, I'm his bestmate, I'd know." Boomer had never thought that fast before, it was giving him a headache.

"You're right. Mabey I could make him jealous? After all, you only want something you can't have right?" Bubbles said with a very cute smirk. Boomer raised his eyebrow at her idea.

"Well who are you gonna use to make him jea-" Oh, of course. Him. Bubbles put her hands on his neck and pulled his face towards hers, pulling him into a kiss that made Boomer want to scream and jump about in joy. Of course this isn't how he imagined their first kiss, but he wasn't complaining.

She pulled away and looked at Tyler who was glaring at them in anger, completely ignoring Amanda who was trying to get his attention. Bubbles smiled in achievement.

"That should do it." She beamed. "..Boomer? Are you okay?"

Boomer was looking strait ahead, still as a statue. He was so mesmerized by that kiss he couldn't move or even function properly. Bubbles snapped her fingers in his face but nothing, then started waving.

"Earth to Boomer!?"

"..Wha?" Boomer snapped out of it.

"Thank's, now mabey he'll realise that he shouldn't have brought her. You're amazing! The best friend I could ever have." She grinned before getting up and going to talk to Blossom. Boomer sighed at the word friend that escaped her lips. He banged his head on the table he was sitting at and groaned.

"What the hell was that!?" Tyler.

To be continued..
