Friendship and war

[Jasmines POV]

I pull my hair up in a bun and watch Ariel as she talks with Denia and Leah. Gosh, she is so so so beautiful. I wish that guys worshiped the ground that I walked on... I mean seriously, all the guys today were following her! Well except for this guy named Tristan. He seemed different then the others, like he knew that she would come to him or something... Ha! Yea right. He may be the hottest out of every guy at this place but she has every guy wrapped around her finger! 

"hey jasmine, why dint you come and join us." says Leah, my roommate. I like her, she is very fun to be around. I push up my glasses from where they had fallen as I thought. well, time to join the party! 

[Denias POV]

Ariel tells stories and we talk a lot on her ability to have guys tripping over themselves to get to her.  Wow, that woman really is a natural... She says she didn't even try! she then tells us about this thing called the auction... And she tells us about how it was like and everything. It kinda sounded like a beauty pageant! Totally my scene. 

"does Eric have a girlfriend?" I suddenly blurt out. 

"how the heck could you want to know that about that guy? I seriously think he has a permanent stick up his..." Ariel cuts Leahs sarcastic psycho-babble short.

"well Denia, no Eric does not have a girlfriend. Do you want me to try to set you guys up?" she says between giggles. Jeese, even Ariels GIGGLES are perfect. Does this girl have anything bad about her? 

"heck ya!" I say loudly. Then a thought comes to mind. "wait... How old is he?" 

"oh right I forgot to have you guys introduce your ages... Well why don't you ladies go?" 

Jasmine speaks up quietly.

"can we hear the boys' ages first?" 

"sure! Tristan is 20, Logan is 18, and blade is 21. Oh, and Eric is 23. His sister is about 21." 

"and you know all of this from reading their minds?" Leah asks, her face is bewildered. 

"yes. For the most part anyway. So, now it's you guy's turns." 

"well, I'm 18..." I say quietly. 

"I'm the same age as you Ariel!" says Jasmine with a wide smile. 

[Ariels POV]

"wh-why do you guys even care how old each other is? I mean does it really matter?..." 

:' these guys are so much older than me! What if they don't like me because of my age?'

"come on Leah!" says Denia. 

I watch my little sister as she stares nervously at the ground. 

"your 16 Leah..." I say without thinking. She looks up at me and I smile at her. 

"no fair! Mind reading powers are not permitted! At least not until we get our powers!" Leah gasps. I can't help hut laugh at my little sister, I have missed her so much and now she is right in front of me...but she doesn't know who I am. 

"so Ariel...do you have a boy friend? I mean I know it's none of our business but..." asks Denia. 

I think carefully about my response.

"well, yes and no..." I say. "it's complicated."

[Logans POV]

I idly stare at the wall on the other side of the second floor big ball room. I watch as Eric walks in, flashing us a small smile. 

"hey guys," he says. I notice that Tristan, who was faced the opposite way from the door, went slightly rigid at the sound of Erics voice. 

He soon regains his relaxed composure. 

" so lets talk. Boy stuff. First on the agenda?" he asks. He doesn't seem so intimidating as he did this morning, he actually seems like a cool guy to hang out with. 

"GIRLS!" is Blades immediate response. "what can you tell us about long leg, bangin body, Ariel?" 

I hate how Blade talks about her. I mean sure shes hot, well infinity and beyond hot, but she's also really nice, but no. No one else seems to care about that. Well that's what I though until I looked over to see a frowning Tristan. Sure, I like Ariel but with Tristan, Blade, and Eric as my competition, I don't stand a chance. Eric smirks cockily at Blade before replying. 

"she is totally going to be mine by the next auction." 

"well then, I hope you dont mind a little friendly competition..." Blade says with a devious smirk. 

"oh, the only person I'm worried about for competition is Tristan over here." Erik leans forward and pats Tristan on the back. He looks at him and gives him a smile, but it was obvious that the smile was one of sarcasm.

What was going on between these two?

[Tristans POV]

What was that? He was smiling but in his eyes I could see it... Almost like he was DARING me to try and steal her from him. I decide to play a little game of my own. 

"No. Ariel has clearly expressed that she doesn't like me in that way." I almost take it back as I see his triumphant smile. 

"well then I guess Ariel is all mine." 

"hey! I still got a chance!" Blade argues. 

Oh boy... This I'd going to be a long night. 2 guys I dint know and 1 I don't like, talking on about who is going to get what is already mine.
