Eden High: Series 1 (Eden High 1-6)

Besides, my brother is on the team. Surely he would’ve told me if something like that was even remotely true.

My thoughts were interrupted by the loud acclimations of Jace’ profound love for her and how they were meant to be together, blah, blah, blah. Of course her girls agreed that they made sense as a couple.

I too may have thought that about fifteen hours or so ago. But now, hella no bitches! As soon as I find my nerve I’ll be all over that.

I decided to ignore the snickers and the catty remarks until the teacher called for order and everyone finally settled down.

I was able to pay attention in class for the rest of the morning, but half an hour before lunch period my body went into system overload again.

“So come on give, when, how, where, we all know why.” Belle was more curious than I expected her to be. She always gave the impression that she had no interest in relationships, and in fact I have never heard her even mention a guy.

Tammy always blushes whenever the conversation head in that direction and I think little Cassandra thinks it’s all dreamy. Oh to be young and naïve, which I was yesterday at this time.

No one told me that my stomach would feel like it had rocks ratting around in there and that I would forget how to perform the most basic of human functions, like breathe.

“He came over to meet my mom and dad. I didn’t even know what was going on, or that he was going to be there…”

I told them about the evening and pretty much everything up until Jace and I had made a spectacle of ourselves in the parking lot.

“I see you don’t hear so good new bitch.” I turned around to see Mandy and her den of vipers approaching us from behind. Belle moved her body in front of me, which I thought was so sweet and even Tammy, shifted a little.

Little Cassandra, who had been moving towards us from the opposite direction, with a big excited grin on her face, stopped short and seemed to be taking in the scene before her.

There was something weird about the way she was looking at the other girls, and I couldn’t tell if it was one in particular or all of them; but now wasn’t the time to ponder.

I moved Belle out of my way and stood front, and center. “Are you talking to me Mandy, because if you were I will have to ask you not to call me out my name again.” I’ma smack this bitch in her mouth.

“I don’t really care what you want you little nobody; I’m here to warn you to stay away from Jace. He’s mine and he’s going to stay mine. If you looked halfway decent I might’ve entertained the idea of a threesome, but I think I’d prefer my dog.”

My eyes widened when I got what she’d just said. Eww.

“Oh what’s the matter? You didn’t know that Jace was into kink? We’ve had lots of fun in bed together.

I’m sure a little mouse like you wouldn’t know what to do with a man like him. So why don’t you just go play with one of the other deadbeat males around here? That seems to be your preference anyway.”

She sneered at my girls as she said this. I didn’t say anything as yet because it didn’t look like she was finished, but I was sizing her ass up.

Sweat beaded her perfect forehead, there was spittle at the corners of her mouth and her eyes were getting that slightly enhanced glaze. Which meant that either she was on something, I’m sure that would be Belle’s door number one, or she was just plain dog shit crazy.

My refusal to participate in her little diatribe only served to make her even more rabid and she started spewing again. The weird thing is, the more she talked, the less worried I became. I guess what my dad says is true; a bully only has as much power as you give them.

“Ask your new friends, I’m sure they have some ideas as to what you can do with yourself if you need a date. Hey Belle. How’s that old vibrator coming along, or did that run away from your fat ass too?”

They all started laughing and high-fiving each other. I shook my head at Belle as she started to say something with fire in her eyes.

Cassandra was just standing there taking it all in, and Tammy was trying to disappear into the wall.

I buffed my nails and looked them over as I addressed the brainless twit that was about to catch new girl’s foot in her ass.

“So you’re saying that you and my boyfriend,” I was happy that I didn’t choke on the word, “had to have threesomes in order for him to get off? No wonder he came looking for me. Obviously he found you lacking.” With that I took my girls by the hand and walked away.

I knew where the scream came from that time; there was no guessing needed. I almost expected to feel something connect to my back but we got away unscathed.

Belle was mollified for the time being that I’d put that ass in her place, and her crazy was a little manageable, though not by much.

“Why did you stop me? I would’ve pulled every fake hair off her rabid ass head.”

“Belle, I thought your dad taught you that a lady never comports herself in such a manner.” I was talking like an ass to take her focus off of Mandy and get her started on me.

“What the hell are you talking about Sian? Comport myself. And while I’m behind these walls my dad had no jurisdiction.” I just shook my head and dragged her along until we reached the cafeteria.

“Oh shoot,” I stopped right inside the door, “Jace said to wait for him outside lit.”

“Yeah well, you couldn’t, because that twat beaver was all in your grill.” Belle watches MTV so her lingo is a little more advanced, not.
