Twist of fate

Chapter 13 – An evening at Tori's - part 1.

Tori's POV

Just like the fact there was one person at school that I really wanted to see, Jade of course, there was now one person that I didn't want to see. That person was Ryder Daniels. He was the kind of guy, the other rich assholes avoided being seen with. Just seeing him walk through school, you could see his swagger. He acted like he owned the place. Ok, his dad was some hot shot attorney and was loaded. That didn't give him an excuse to be an asshole. Jade at least has an excuse, about her being a jerk.

I have him in both my social studies and songwriting classes. The first one I have with him is my 3rd period songwriting class. Rolling my chair in I could see he was already there, though much to my relief he paid me no attention. He seemed to be trying to charm a freshman girl with his humble act.

Class went as normal, all except for one moment. I happened to glance in his direction and for an instant our eyes met. It was a bit startling. For what I saw in his eyes was burning hatred. I can only hope he stays smart and eventually gives it up. Quit while he's behind, to tweak a popular old phrase.

I just shot him a defiant look back and briefly stared him down. I had no intention of being the first to look away. A second later he suddenly looked away and refocused his attention on the teacher. Satisfied by my small victory I grinned with pleasure.

The rest of the morning was uneventful. Rolling onto the asphalt café, I saw Jade. She was sitting alone at her normal table. I got my food and rolled up to the table.

"Umm...let me guess. Sigmund Freud"

It seemed like an odd comment.

"Sorry no...Just little ole me. Why Sigmund Freud?"

Jade shrugged. "Isn't this the part where you analyze me and make me a happy person?" I could hear the sarcasm in her voice. It was too be expected. Though she wanted help, I knew she would not make it easy.

"Do you want to be happy?"

Jade turned her head and gave me a strange look. "Define happy? Some people are happy making people unhappy. Hell, some people are happy making other people dead. Do you think the Richard Ramirez a.k.a. the Night Stalker would have kept strangling people, 14 I believe, if it didn't make him happy."

I wasn't sure how to respond to that. What is happy anyway, that's a good question. "Actually, how about we skip the analysis and have a normal civilized conversation."

Jade stabbed her salad. "Are you saying I'm not civilized?"

"Well, you're wearing clothes, so that counts for something. Who knows, I may be even able to take you into public someday without creating a scene." I shot back with my own dose of sarcasm. I seldom use it, but I can get my jabs in if needed. For a moment Jade seemed to glare at me. Perhaps I went a bit too far, I suddenly worried.

A smirk formed on Jade's lips suddenly. "You can keep up. I like you."

Just hearing the words, I like you, made my heart skip a beat. I so want to see her naked. Naked and sitting on my lap, that's so much better. At this point, my mind quickly drifted off course as I imagined a naked Jade sitting on my lap about to kiss me. I could imagine my fingertips, running all over her smooth pale skin. It would be even more fun if I could lick chocolate off her.

"EARTH TO VEGA!" Jade suddenly barked. I was so busy mentally undressing, Jade that I had stopped listening to what she was saying. One minor benefit of her being blind, was the fact that she didn't see me turning beet red.
