TUNES

FOUR: NEMUS

This whole drama is making my head spin, I just got into a new town, which turned out to be filled with mysterious creatures that were supposed to be a myth.

I was at the locker room still replaying Jennies transformation in the woods last night and her reappearance in school this morning in my head, it was crazy.

I opened my locker to drop my bag and take my note.

On opening, a mini pink paper flew out, I picked it and read, it said;
Meet me at the basketball court by 3.
-Jesse

My heart skipped, the letter was from Jesse and he wanted to see me, but why?

I was both excited and troubled at the same time considering the fact that the dude has always been rude to me.

I dropped the note back in my locker and closed it as I went to class, I tried not to entertain any thoughts as I was feeling overwhelmed by the letter.

After class, it was past three, and I was supposed to see Jesse. I felt reluctant and decided not to go.  After all, he would probably just annoy me. But then, I became really curious about what he wanted to say, so I decided to give it a try.

On my way to the basketball court, I ran into Jennie.

She was good-looking and very attractive, and I still can't believe she's gay.

"Hello sweetheart" she licked her lips in a manner that made me uncomfortable "where are you heading?"

"Erm... The court" I said trying not to feel intimidated, she has an intimidating aura that can easily oppress someone with low self-esteem.

"The court? Don't tell me you're a fucking cheerleader" she frowned

"No" I said slowly wanting to see her reaction, she smiled still looking at me in an ungodly manner, she said;

"Hope you taste as good as you look"

I looked at her, shocked, unable to give a response then I saw Jesse coming towards the basketball court holding a lunch pack.

On seeing him, it felt like he's my knight in shining armour, saving me from Jennie.

When he saw me, he scoffed and that feeling disappeared immediately, he came to where we stood and smiled on seeing Jennie
"Hello Jennifer"

This was most shocking as it was the first time I've seen him smiled and it got me thinking, did he have a crush on Jennie?

This was unbelievable. In the few days I've known Jesse, I can tell that he's a jerk and somehow too heartless to even think he could love.

I watched the way he looked at her. What can I say? She does have an intimidating beauty, and I definitely don't stand a chance.

"Hey, Jesse, you look different"

He smiled.
"Tormenting the poor kid?"

"Nah, she's too delicious to be tormented" she said and I could feel my heart skipped a beat, what did she meant by that?

Then she winked at me,
"See ya later" and left.
