THE BOY IS MINE

Part 23: SCRUTINIZATION.

Lowell and Jordan walk side to side passing through the stares, whispers and chuckles as expected from the public eye.
Lowell sighs facing down embarrassed but their two classmates join them and Scott wraps his arms around their necks causing Lowell to scoff in annoyance looking up at them.

Justin: My two heroes... Our class and the rest of the school could never be proud of you two.
Scott: I mean yeah the girls may be painted the wrong way right now literally getting crucified for being loose because you know how the double standards are.. but you two are being praised. The men that get the job done.
Jordan: For sure we will be expelled over what you are praising us for.
Justin: Maybe you will, but we can help you uncover the person that is behind this video leaking though and also wipe it off..

Lowell quickly turns to them attentively.

Lowell: Can you really do that?
The boys nod and they slowly walk with them to class.
Scott: Yeah we can and it will be so easy for us to do it just as long as we will be able to track the source used to leak it.
Lowell: Okay let's say that you find out who that person is, can you wipe off every little infatuating thing to our reputations that she might have on us, not only the video?
Justin: She?..
Lowell: Or even a he, but I was suspecting those girls though.
Scott: In that case then we have something to work on.
Lowell smirks continuing to walk thinking to himself.

*These two morons will wipe off everything from Angela's phone leaving nothing for her to blackmail me with and then I will have my chance to attack. But I just have to trap her in her own plans and attack right when she least expects it.*

Jordan: Why are you guys so keen to help us, what's in it for you?
Justin: We are just looking out for our fellow brothers nothing else. Let's all be friends, what do you think?
Lowell: Great more morons to deal with.
Jordan: Hey watch your tongue or else I will cut it off for you.
Lowell: I dare you.
He glares walking inside the class first and Scott sighs following behind him.
Scott: Just when we thought that he was getting better.
Jordan: Ow please he is a moron, a total jerk.
They chuckle walking inside the class as well.

Angela huffs not believing her eyes.
If Scott and Justin are part of the the friendship now Lowell will have them to dig on her and that is not good, not good at all.

Angela: Oh well it's time that I move the plan ahead so long. Lowell will be cornered and left with no choice but to do what we agreed on. Now it is seemingly time for phase two.

Jordan's phone vibrates on his blazer and he huffs taking it out to check out the message hoping that it is Blue Iris from Zoopa but unfortunately it's not, it's rather a general text from Angela.
Oh well it seems like Blue Iris has ghosted him completely now and if he knew any better he would assume that it is because of the video but Blue Iris doesn't know him at all.

Jordan huffs reading the messages that get displayed on his screen from Angela.

*Angela: Hey handsome I hope that you are well. Well can you do me a little favor and please remain behind after school as I would like to steal few minutes of your time alone. There's something that I would like to share with you and it's urgent on my side.*

Jordan raises his brow at that.

*Jordan: What's up?, What do you want from me?*
*Angela: Just wait up after school so that we can talk. I'm sure that it won't be too much trouble Jordy I really need to talk to you.*
*Angela: And to assure you that I am not planning anything stupid I would rather have us talk on the school grounds.*

Lowell nudges Jordan and Jordan huffs handing him his phone.
Jordan: That must be for you not me...she likes you after all, not me.
Lowell (Reads through the message): But it specifically states you 'Jordy' not Lowell. And besides you and her have become really close friends so why are you surprised?
Jordan: Close friends?....dude Angela was just talking to me just to get information and get close to you okay?, she likes you.
Lowell: Or maybe she likes you but was just using me as an excuse to talk to you.
Jordan: You think?
Lowell: You didn't strike me as the slow kind of person Hans.. especially when it came to girls, now you have disappointed me.

Lowell chuckles mockingly and Jordan huffs glaring at him.

Jordan: Arg whatever.
Lowell: Anyways why not remain behind after school and find out for yourself huh?...after all this message sounds serious.
Jordan: That's what baffles me, the girl hardly knows me to-...
Lowell: That is just how crushing works Hans, she will use anything and everything to pull you closer to her even if it means confiding in you with all her secrets.
Jordan: But I don't even like her.
Lowell: Gosh then meet up with her and tell her that.
Jordan: I'm glad that you are enjoying this Moron... Really, is it because she won't bother you anymore?
Lowell: Oh believe me I am really enjoying it, I am really enjoying this moment right now Hans... Finally I will be free from her.

Lowell chuckles nudging Jordan.

Lowell: Be safe okay?
Jordan: Fuck you man.
