Game On

Chapter 23~ Pick your poison

JASMINE'S POV
  
      I walked into the library and took a seat, I'm supposed to meet Connor here and apparently he isn't here yet.
      I had a book to finish so I just placed it on the table and continued reading from where I had stopped. Luckily there's some clues on answers to Mr. Baldwin's project in it and I would be able to turn in the project on the due date with or without a partner, but unfortunately Connor would be getting a good grade on the work.

"Do you have to be such a bookworm?" I heard a voice ask behind me and I almost jumped ten feet in the air.

I turned to glare at the offending voice. "What is wrong with you?, do you have to be such a creep?" I questioned and he smirked.

No one knows how much I want to wipe that smirk off his face.

"Not my fault that you're so jumpy. It's kind of cute though".

I stared at him like he had grown a testicle for a head.

"How's me jumping in the air cute?"
I asked drily.

"No need to feel salty." He replied.

"Why did you want me here?" I wanted this meeting to be over with.

"I've got a job for you"

"And why would I want to do anything for you?"
He smirked before replying

"Because I so happen to know that you killed your mum's goldfish, and that's not all but it occurred too much times you should be locked up." He paused with a smirk and a gleam in his eyes.

"You really surprised me babe, I thought you couldn't hurt a fly, but apparently a fly should be the least of things you can hurt" He continued with an amused look.

"It was an accident!" I glared at him but he seemed unfazed.

"Yeah right. Even after the thirtieth time? That was one hell of an accident if you ask me"  I hated how he held this over my head and I couldn't do anything about it.

"Well no one's asking you" I retorted while intensifying my glare. I'm sure it could burn a hole into his forehead.

"Yeah whatever. So you in or not?"
When did it come to this? One minute I'm having a Connor free life and the next minute I'm his slave.

I'm really not having the best time of my life.

"What do you want from me?" I sounded defeated.

"That's more like it babe. And put a smile on, you look like you lost your cat"

I lost my freedom!.

"Ok so here's what I want from you"

I walked to the parking lot to see Rosie and Xavier talking at a corner. She was laughing at whatever he was saying to her and she had slight tints of red on her cheek.

I doubt she's even listening to what he's saying, he could be saying she smells like cat food for all I know, and Rosie will still giggle at that.
I've been in a sour mood ever since Connor told me about his stupid plan and I really can't wait to get home and get it over with.

"Hey! Watch it!" I heard someone yell and it turned out to be Chris. The guy I'm supposed to get jealous.

Yup you heard me right, I don't know what's going on between them but Connor wants some sort of payback. I still don't understand how it has anything to do with me.

Chris almost got knocked down by Leo. I could hear Leo's cackling as he drove out of the school while Chris just threw his middle finger at Leo as he watched him drive off.
