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

There was no way this thing was going to be put to bed unless I took this bitch on. I felt a little pull between my legs to remind me of Jace’s warnings before we left the house. I wasn’t going to disobey, but just one last time I needed to put this idiot in her place.

I pulled my phone and scrolled down to the pic she’d been circulating. “You know, I’m not sure how you knew that Jace and I were in the guesthouse, since he’s never taken you there before. But wherever you got your information, it’s a little off. The curtains are a little more like this.”

I pulled up the pics I’d snuck and taken earlier and showed them around the room. “If you’d notice the pattern is just a little different. Oh and the guy in the pic is also missing a little something.”

There were a few snickers at that one and I passed around a bland glare. “My Jace has a tat on his arm right about...here.”

Mandy was red as a lobster and not very happy when she stormed out of the room, or at least tried to. I wasn’t about to let her skinny ass just walk away like that though.

Jace was no doubt going to hear about this and there was probably going to be another pounding in my future, but I was just going to have to deal with it.

I stopped her in her tracks, just before she reached the door. “I’ve had about enough of you, you might get away with bullying everyone else around here, but I’m not that girl. I don’t need to get all pedantic and warn you off of my man, because I know there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that he’d ever touch you with a ten foot pole.

Oh and yeah, that thing you tried to show in your pic, he told me he would never even consider putting his mouth anywhere near your disease infested snatch.”

“Oh snap.” Somebody crowed that out loud in the crowd, just before Jace showed up and got between us, browbeating Mandy into stepping back away from me.

Dammit, I forgot about his network. I was still sore from his last lesson; I thought for sure he wouldn’t find out about this little blip for at least another day.

“Where did you get the pictures, and how the fuck did you know that’s where I took her? You’ve never been there before. I know you have the rest of these fools believing that you and I were this great couple, that might’ve been true for the first two weeks we were together, that’s about how long it took me to see how fucking empty and shallow you are.

We only lasted as long as we did because I didn’t give a fuck about anything else but the game. I fucked you when I wanted relief, nothing more nothing less, and don’t act all butt hurt about it because you knew the deal.

For the last fucking time stay away from my fiancée. I’ve already got someone looking into what kind of charges I can press against you for this little stunt. You keep getting in her fucking face, things are just gonna end real bad for you.” He leaned over and whispered something in her ear that made her lose all the color in her face.

He left her there all but trembling and walked over to me. “You okay baby?” I guess he wasn’t really interested in my answer since he kissed me before I could give him one.

We came up for air when the applause plateaued and someone said the teacher was coming. I have a crazy ass fiancé.

“I’ll see you later sweetheart, how do you feel down there?” he smirked at me the fiend.

“Jace, get outta here.” He leaned over and nibbled on my ear before whispering to me.

“I’ll lick it for you later and make it all better. Now try to stay out of trouble.” With a pat on my butt he left just as the teacher was coming into the room.

BELLE

Not quite sure what’s going on anymore, everything seems to have been turned upside down. Suddenly I’m one of the in crowd and people are asking me for my opinion and generally being human

If that’s not bad enough Jared Claiborne seems to have lost his damn mind and won’t leave me alone.

Over the weekend he’d stuck to me like glue, first at the pool party and then the next day after I’d gone shopping with the girls.

Of course now that he was showing an interest, others seemed to have finally noticed that I’m a warm body and were actually flirting with me.

Jared wasn’t too pleased with that turn of events however, and has growled at me on more than one occasion for my inappropriate behavior. Which is what he calls it anytime I smile at one of my new admirers.

Secretly I was enjoying this new power I seemed to have over a member of the opposite sex, and one as fine as Jared Claiborne. I was actually starting to believe this might be happening, that it was possible that the hottest guy in school was into me.

“What mischief are you plotting now Red?” Where the heck had he come from? I was waiting outside the locker room for Sian and hadn’t heard him approaching.

I put on my mean face and glared at him, couldn’t let him know he was getting to me now could I? Though he always smirks at me knowingly as if he knows I’m full of shit.

“Don’t you have practice?”

“We’re done, now what was that look about, you better had been thinking about me.”

Of course I turned cherry tomato red, and couldn’t find my tongue in time for a snappy comeback.

“Sis not out yet?”

“Oh yeah, she came out about five minutes ago, but I just thought it would be fun to hang out outside the girls’ locker room for kicks.”

“Smart ass.” He head-locked me and I swear it was the sweetest thing; how pathetic was that? “You’re coming over right?”
