Slice of Pie - Chris 'Oz' Ostreicher

Chapter 6

Jackie's POV

"I don't see how..." I cut myself off when I hear something.

Kevin and I are going over plans for prom on our way to lunch when we hear a small exchange. I glance at Kevin before walking around the bend of the stairwell.

"The scars healed really well." A girl says while Stifler walks toward us.

"Hey, Steven." I say softly.

"Hi, Jackie." He says, carelessly.

"Hey, Stifler." Kevin tries but Stifler smarts off.

"Eat shit."

I raise an eyebrow and look at the girl who was just talking to him.

"What happened?" I ask, walking down the stairs to her.

"Oh, he's still embarrassed because Finch kicked his ass." She sighs.

Kevin and I make eye contact before looking at the girl once again.

"Who told you that?" He asks her.

She informs us before walking down the stairs. Grabbing Kevin's shirt, I pull him down the stairs, running straight for the cafeteria. It only takes us a few seconds to find the person we're looking for.

Jessica.

"What do you mean no comment?" Kevin scuffs, grabbing two trays and handing me one. "Did you guys hook up or something?"

"Are you kidding me?" She says, slightly disgusted. "No."

"Then how did this all get started?" I ask, grabbing a plate with my veggies.

"Well, I guess it's okay for me to tell you guys now. That reputation of his isn't going anywhere" She glances around. "Cheese, please." She tells the lunch lady before starting her story. "Finch comes to me and says 'Jessica, I need help with this, blah blah etc-etera.' So I told him, alright, pay me $200 and I'll tell a couple girls you're dynamite in bed. So he did, and I did."

"That really works?" Kevin says as his eyes widen.

"Duh. Of course." She shrugs. "Naturally, I embellished a little bit. He was going to ask you, Jack, but you already have those rumors about the lacrosse team. I didn't start that, I promise."

"Do you know who did?" I ask, biting my lip.

"No one knows who started it. I tried asking around. Sorry."

"Thanks for trying, Jess." I smile slightly before grabbing more food.

"No problem. Hey, did you guys hear that Finch had an affair with an older woman?" She asks, looking at us.

"No." We say together.

I glance at Kevin with a raised eyebrow. It's so weird when it's not your twin.

"That one was my favorite." She smirks.

Third Person POV

Oz just finishes his shower when he begins to think about his new girlfriend. Wow. Girlfriend. He never thought in a million years he could get Jackie Levenstein to be his girlfriend. Maybe Heather was right...maybe they are in love.

He wraps a towel around his waist and begins to sing one of their jazz choir songs. He walks out of the showers with a skip in his step.

"How sweet it is to be loved by you." He sings as he swings his arms to point at Stifler who was sitting on a bench in his own towel.
