when you are popular, there are two sides to every story

Chapter 10

*Jessie’s P.O.V

Wow, she was one stubborn bitch. I was only trying to be nice, but she threw it right back into my face! I really hope she isn’t another Alicia clone, if that is the case, I don’t think I will be able to survive this place any longer! I sighed. I even gave up my single dorm for her, but no, she just doesn’t seem to appreciate it. I sighed. No matter how hard I tried at this school, I don’t think I would ever be popular. I guess my destiny is to be a loser. I guess I had to go to the cafeteria now to get dinner. I know. LAME! Eating dinner at school on a Saturday night, but oh well, it’s not like I have any friends to go out with. Even if I did, My mum would kill me. I guess I can say my mother is the protective kind, that is the whole reason I wanted to go to boarding school, but of course she chose Chenary, so I would ‘stay within the boundaries’ she liked to call it. I can never escape her grasp. I decided to get changed, people would never let me live it down if I went down in leg warmers! I got into flowy silk pants and a floppy grey sweater. As I made my way down the stairs, I saw someone playing on his phone. Oh my God. He looked up at me and smiled. Taylor Sweetly. He was my life long crush. Well, not life long, since I’ve been at Chenary, and it was pretty much love at first sight! It was a Friday afternoon, in grade 8. I had to do extra curricular violin lessons, to prepare for my exam, so I was late and putting my books away in my locker. There was no one around, hello, Friday afternoon, and I saw him walk down the hall. He was a new student, as he was trying to look for something, and I had never seen him before. If I had, I would’ve remembered. He smiled at me. “Hi,” he said. “H-hi,” I stuttered. I must admit, I was nervous. “Um.. could you tell me where the boys dorms are?” he asked me. I just nodded. “Down the hall, take a left at the end and there will be stairs. Go to the top and there you are!” I smiled sweetly at him. He winked. “Thanks......?” “Jessie,” I cut him off holding out my hand. “Taylor,” he said taking it and starting to walk towards the directions I gave him. He gave me one last smile and I knew he was the one. I wasn’t sure if he felt the same way about me though. “Hey Taylor!” I said giving him a smile. “Hey Jes, what’s up?” he asks. I laugh. “I’m on my way to dinner, wanna join me?” I asked him, grinning like an idiot. “Sorry Jes, I’m going to the city tonight,maybe another night?” he asks. “Sure,” I say trying to hide my disappointment. He gives me a kiss on the cheek and he starts going to the station.  Ugh! I was such a loser. I seriously just asked him if he wanted to have dinner with me? In the cafeteria! It’s a wonder he still likes to talk to me. Taylor was different then all the other guys that girls wanted to go out with, like James. I recognized Taylor’s inner beauty, and I made my way to dinner alone, being the loser I was always gonna be.

*Saskia’s P.O.V

I made my way to the train station, needing to get away from Jessie. I felt like I was suffocating in there, her never shutting up. I needed my personal space, and she was seriously getting up my grill. She was obviously a loser. Sorry, but I don’t run with losers. I wasn’t sure where I was going, somewhere in the city though, but I had no one to go with. I could call Oliver, but that would probably be a bit too try hard. Finally the next train came, and I got in. It was pretty packed, so I had to stand, having there was no other option. When the doors were about to close, some idiot nearly killing himself just made it in. Everyone was staring him down, probably thinking the same thing. He had a mop of back hair, and my feelings immediately changed. I started grinning at him like he was Justin Bieber or something. “Hey,” James said. He could not find out that I knew his name, he would think I was a stalker or something. “Hey,” I squeaked back. I Saskia Fenly would not be nervous over a boy! I would refuse to be! “What’s your name beautiful?” he asks me in a flirty tone. I turned the confident and in control Sakia on, I had to show him I was in Charge. “Saskia,” I said smirking at him and looking at the ground. I could tell it made him more turned on, me pretending to be that shy sexy girl everyone knows. “James,” he says nodding. I just smile and look at him, and then at the ground. “Nice to meet you James,” I say, as sexy as I can muster. He looks at me, his eyes sparkling. My heart is beating at the freaking speed of light.  He leans in, I feel his breath tickling my neck. “The pleasures all mine gorgeous,” and with that he kisses me on the cheek. I gasp. Holy Crap! This guy is leaving me panting. If he wanted, he could control me. I needed to take control, fast! But his lips felt so good on my skin. I truly do not know what do! I see lots of girls giving me jealous glares. I wonder if James is Chenary’s school dream boy. Probably is. I suddenly feel proud, me catching such a hottie.  This helps me have a confidence boost. “Well Saskia, where are you headed tonight?” He asks me raising his eyebrows. I just smile smugly at him. “Wouldn’t you like to know.” I tell him. I feel him staring at me gaping. I bet a girl has never spoken to him like that before. I bet they would just throw themselves at him. I wonder if he has a girlfriend, or is he a player? Maybe both!? Whatever, why should I care? Maybe because he is the hottest damn thing I have ever seen! Suddenly the train  stops, and people start piling out. I smile at him and start walking to find a seat, me playing hard to get. As I walk, of course he follows me. I keep on walking, till we get to the last carriage. Heaps of people must’ve gotten off at the last stop, cause there was like, no one there. All of a sudden he grabs my arm and pulls me to him, kissing me.

*James’s P.O.V

She kept on walking, and man she was hot! If she was trying to lure me in by playing hard to get, she sure had me. She liturally had me lost for words. For me, girls are so easy, but Saskia was different. She challenged me, which only made me want her so much more. When she finally had no where else to go, she turned to me, smiling. She was just so so gorgeous. I’m not sure what came over me, but I just had to. I pulled her arm, and I kissed her. She struggled at first, but then she started kissing me back. Thank god there was no one else on the carriage, otherwise – awkward! She wrapped her hands around my neck, and I pulled my arms around her waist. I felt so hot. The kiss started to get intense, and I had never felt so much energy. We became more passionite, and I led her to a seat. She lay herself down, me on top of her. Crap! I have a girlfriend! Alicia will actually kill me if she found out, being the control freak she will always be, so I better break up with her. I think Alicia was just something I was trying to hold on to, so I was more then happy to move on. I had never felt so alive with a girl, I wanted Saskia so bad! We started getting more physical, and she put her hands under my shirt, and rubbed my chest. I started nibbling her ear and she moaned. God she turned me on. Suddenly she turned away. I had never felt so disappointed. “James,” she said unwrapping herself from me and sitting up. “Aww, come on babe, we were starting to have some fun!” I told her. She smiled at me and I started to kiss her neck. She laughed. Her skin was so smooth and soft. She was offically an addiction. “Come on James,” she says trying to be stubborn. She was so adorable. “I am not going to have sex with you on a train! Ew!” she says. I just laugh. “Anyway, our stop is close by, so we have to get off anyway.” She says. She takes my hand and we get off. We start to kiss again. “Well?” I start, “do you wanna take this somewhere else?” I ask her. She smirks. “Does that mean you want me to be yours?” she asks me taking a step closer. I happily close the gap. “Of course!” I say. “But there’s some stuff I need to clear up first.” I want her yeah, but I’m not gonna be an unfaithful bastard for Alicia. She doesn’t deserve that. “What do you mean?” She asks, getting confused. “Well,” I say sheepishly. “I actually have a girlfriend, but I was planning on breaking up with her anyway,” I say, praying she won’t freak out. Of course being a girl, that is in her nature. “WHAT!?” she shrieks.  “You have a girlfriend!” She stares me down. She trys to walk away, but I am just too strong, so I keep her in my grasp. “Babe calm down!” I say trying to get her to breath. Not my best line, I know, but I was trying to keep my act togther here. “Don’t babe me!” she cries. “You have a girlfriend! But you just happily kiss me anyway!” she says. This time she does walk away. There is like, a million people on the street, so it’s hard to catch up with her. I eventually get to her, and make a grab. “Let go of me!” she shouts. We get a couple of stares. Shit. “Nothing to see here folks!” I say, trying to get them to back off. “Look at me,” I tell her. She gives me a bitchy huff and death stares me. “You better explain everything!” she says. “I will, I promise, but at least let me take you to dinner?” I plead. She glances at me. “Fine,” she says stubbornly, “but this better be good,” and she turns the other direction. She was gonna be a tough piece of work, but who cares?! She was hot. I rolled my eyes and ran after her.
