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

Just then I saw him coming towards me. He looked pissed and I was about to let him have it. I wasn’t in the mood for his shit after dealing with his ex cum dump.

But he stopped in front of me and took my face in his hands. He studied my eyes and face like he was looking for something, and from the way he gritted his teeth I figured someone had already spilled the beans about my little run-in with Mandy.

“Did she touch you baby?” I could only shake my head in wonder. Who the hell was this guy anyway? If he kept this up I was going to give him the goods on our first date, and that’s such a cliché.

Then he kissed my forehead and drew me into his chest and rocked me a little. This time I knew my girls sighed.

As soon as I started to get comfortable though he dropped his arms from around me, took my hand in his and dragged me across the room.

Oh shit! He stopped right in front of Mandy’s table where her and her crew were probably planning their next attack.

Of course by this point every eye in the room was on us and you could hear a pin drop. I think some people might’ve even been holding their breath.

I saw Jared and the rest of the team walk in, and from Jared’s face I guess he’d heard the news as well. Damn, news does travel fast in Hollywood.

I saw my brother’s shoulders relax when he assessed the situation and saw that Jace had things under control. Like the others he folded his arms and prepared to watch the show.

Chapter 6

JACE

I knew this bitch was stupid but I didn’t know just how stupid. I guess I had given her more credit than she was due.

The whispers were all over the school. I’d gone to pick up Sian after thinking about her all morning.

When my dick wasn’t hard from thinking about her ass, I was thinking about new ways to court her. Never gave that shit much thought before, but with her I wanted to do everything different.

I didn’t want to follow my usual routine, and she didn’t strike me as one to care too much about launch parties and being seen at the most popular restaurants where the stars hung out. Which was a welcomed change truth be known

My mind was full of her and I had a growing sense of excitement at the thought of seeing her again in the next few minutes.

So when I got there and she wasn’t where she was supposed to be I started to get a little hot under the collar. I hate it when things get in the way of my plans.

One of the freshmen who didn’t seem to give a shit that I was Jace Saunders, approached me as I stood in front of her classroom door while my boys waited for me down the hall.

By the time he was through giving me the rundown of what had happened, I was ready for blood.

Seeing her, making sure she hadn’t been hurt was my first priority. With that taken care of it was time to take some people out to the woodshed as my grandpa use to say.

I pulled her over to where Mandy and her brain dead entourage were sitting. I’m not sure why Mandy would risk my wrath, but either she really believed that shit that she’d been spouting about me not being able to stay away from her, or she was high.

“Hey Mandy, last warning so pay attention, the rest of you might as well listen too even though you’re too simple to have a thought of your own.

This is Sian for those of you who have been living under a rock for the last week and didn’t know that.

Sian is mine, I don’t give a fuck what any of you think about that, but I do care about people fucking with what’s mine.

If what happened today happens again, there will be a lot of fucks crying in their milk.” I glared around the table at them because if they had any sense at all they would realize it wasn’t just them that I’d just threatened.

Then again they’re not accustomed to me throwing my weight or more to the point, my dad’s weight around. The fact that I was even willing to make that threat, spoke volumes to me, and those who knew me.

I squeezed my girl’s hand and led her to my usual table where my boys followed. I saw that idiot Liz try to latch onto Shane’s hand, but he brushed her off. Serves her ass right, she use to be an okay person until she got caught up in Mandy’s web.

“Next time I tell you to be somewhere Ms. Sian you be there. Don’t let the likes of that one scare you she’s all talk.” I didn’t say anything more because there was nothing else to say.

Mandy and I were over long before she came on the scene, so there was no conflict there.

The fact that Mandy didn’t know why I’d suddenly decided to drop her might have something to do with her inability to let the fuck go.

She’s one of those types that have to end things and everything has to be on her terms. At least she knew going in that that wasn’t going to fly with yours truly.

Still, she seemed to have bought into her own press. I’m going to have to keep an eye out and make sure she doesn’t do anything more than talk.

SIAN

“Jace can my friends sit here?” He was done dragging me around I guess, but from the set of his face I could tell he was still pissed.

“If they can’t that’s cool, I’ll just go sit at my table with them.” Belle and the others had gone to our usual table.

They didn’t look too put out that I wasn’t sitting with them; they’d expect me to sit with my new guy after all.
