" I seriously cannot believe you've already spoken with Tyler." Nigel huffed. "It is not a big deal. I just met him at the gym today. He is pretty cool if I'm being honest." Jewel shrugged. "Of course, it's not a big deal for you, I mean two hot new students already know each other. Cute beginning of a love story if you ask me." Priya comments. Jewel brushed off their comments and continued with her homework. "Moving on, Rowan is on his way here. Maybe we can finally discuss what we're doing for the weekend." Nigel said. "The weekend? Bro we just started senior year. It's a damn Monday for crying out loud." Gail finally spoke out. She had been quiet since the end of school, and Jewel was starting to get a bit worried.
After a few more minutes Jewel had finally finished doing her homework and went to change out of her school uniform. Yes, she did her homework in her school uniform cause she didn't want any reminder of it in her actual clothes. She quickly changed into a grey pair of sweatpants and some old graphic tee that was way too big for her. The moment she got out of her room she was met with a pair of dark eyes staring at her very coldly.
What is it now?
She ignored Rowan's eyes following her every move and went to sit on the couch next to Abigail. After a few minutes of hearing and listening to Gail's frustrated huffs, she turned to her best friend. "You need some help over there?" She asked starting at the unsolved math equations. "Uhuh" Gail rested her head on Jewel's lap and watched her best friend solve most of her math problems. Soon after explaining the concept of the special triangles, Gail began doing her homework herself and Jewel began going through the cabinets for some food.
"Oh hey, I'm making some food does anyone want some?" She asked. Everyone nodded their head and agreed, well everyone but Rowan but we all expected that. She began cooking her spaghetti and spicy meatballs while going through her Pinterest boards for some room decor ideas.
"Hey guys, the food is ready. Come and serve yourselves." She announced as she began washing the dishes. Everyone quickly stood up went ran to the kitchen and began severing themselves. As expected the kitchen was filled with hungry teenagers making it hard for Rowan to move past Jewel without his front pressing against her back. And just as he was about to get his weight off her Nigel bumped him causing him to press against Jewel harder than before. She could feel her breath hitch as Rowan pressed his cold-ass hands on her upper waist and his breath on her neck, which made her shiver in pleasure. She felt his chest vibrate as he cursed profanities under his breath.Holy fucking shit.
Fuck me, sir.
She was snapped out of her daze as Nigel's voice spoke. "Oh shit. Sorry guys, I didn't mean for that to happen."
"Its cool." Rowan relied on frustration. He quickly moved out of the kitchen and went back to the couch. He tried to ignore his semi-hard dick and tried not to avoid his thoughts of how Jewel's ass was pressed against his dick and her lavender scent filling his lungs. It felt good to be finally pressed against her, but fuck that couldn't happen again cause one of them was bound to get hurt in the end.
Everyone soon sat down and started the topic of the best shows on Netflix. "Okay so what's the best show on Netflix lately?"
"Bridgerton." Gail said without missing a beat. Nigel and Priya nodded too, agreeing with her statement. Finely scrunched his nose up in disgust, Rowan gave the three a blank and boring stare and Jewel shook her head intensely disagreeing with the statement made by Abigail. Priya rolled her eyes and turned to Finely and asked him about his favourite show.
"Well, whats yours Fin?"
"Ginny and Gorgia" He said proudly. "You're proud of loving that shit?" Priya questioned. "Yes, and I'm sure Rowan and Jewel agree with me. Right guys" He turned to face the two, Rowan immediately threw a cushion to his face while Jewel swore at him for even trying to drag her butt to the ground along with the show.
"Since you're acting so holy Jewel why don't you tell us what you watch?" Rowan mused, while glaring daggers at her. Not that Jewel cared, her mom and dad taught her never to care about an asshole's opinion. "
"Currently obsessed with 'All of us are dead." She shrugged checking her phone for any new notifications. "Wait, isn't that the Korean horror/ thriller show?" Gail asked. "Yep and I love it. As much as I love the other Asian shows, maybe this one a little bit more." She smiled.
"I didn't take you for the kind of girl who watches K-drama's." Fin mused.
" I have a thing for hot asian men." She winked at him.
Rowan tensed after he heard that statement. His poor Asian ass just wanted to fucking rail her disabled.
"Wait so what are we doing this weekend?" Gail asked not even paying attention to the show that was playing n the TV. "Umm not really sure too. Any suggestions anyone?" Nigel asked. Everyone else shook their heads but Jewel. "Well, I wanna start decorating my room. Plus I need some art supplies." She added.
"You paint?" Rowan asked. For the first time, he was just genuinely curious, not intending snarky remarks or anything. "Uh- yea. Along with a few more things like reading and playing hockey." She answered. Priya turned her head so fast she was about to snap her neck. " Wait, you play hockey too." She smiled. "Yea, I took it right after the fifth grade started. " She smiled. They were about to continue talking when the sound of Jewel's ringtone broke through. She quietly excused herself and answered her phone.
"Hello?"
"Uh hi, am I speaking to Jewel Harper?" A man's voice asked.
" Uh yea, this is she. What can I do for ya? "
"Umm, this is your dad."
"Umm, sorry sir but i know my dad's voice and he also would have called with his phone. Is there anything else i can do for you?"
"Oh, sorry i men this is Josh, I'm your biological father." The man said carefully.
"Oh" was all she said. There was an awkward silence for a while before 'Josh spoke again.
"I'm coming over to the island next week. And i would like for us to meet up."
"Umm sorry sir, I don't feel so comfortable with that. "
"Please, I-i need to see my baby girl one more time. " His voice cracked a bit. Jewel wanted to feel sorry for him. She searched all the parts of her heart for pity but none was found. Nevertheless, she still agreed.
"*Sigh. Okay, I guess we can meet up."
" Thank so much princess. I meet so soon." She cringed at the newly given nickname but didn't say anything.
"Yea, sure." And with that, she hung up.
She walked back to everyone with a kind of confused look on her face.
"Uh, Jewel is there something wrong?" Gail asked. She ignored all the states and went to rest her head on Abigail's lap. She sighed as Gail began playing with her long curls.
"My sperm donor wants to meet up with meet. Almost 18 years after abondiong me. "
