Jealousy

"I think that's called jealousy." Diane said after Verity told her about Corinne and Camryn. "TJ, is your mom not in today?" She said to the waiter.

TJ shook his head. "My mom was feeling a bit sick, she'll be back tomorrow."

"I'm not jealous." Verity told Diane after the guy walked away.

Mindy and Aneli gave her a look. "Really?"

"Miss Dior, look." Diane leaned forward onto the table. "This is either jealousy of them being with Bryce or Trey-"

"They aren't with them."

"Or you're envious."

Mindy looked at her friend. "Di, those are the same thing."

"Shut up, Melinda." Diane rubbed her off. "So which is it, Dior? Are you envious of them? Or are you being a jealous girlfriend?"

Verity leaned back and rolled her eyes. "I'm neither, Diane."

"Right." The three other girls collectively said. "Totally."

Verity shook her head. Was the feeling in her stomach jealousy? If it was, why did she feel it around Corinne and Bryce? She understands it from Camryn and Trey as that's her boyfriend and all, but Bryce?

Now that's just weird.

    "Isn't that Camryn right there?" Diane sat up and pointed to a girl that looked almost exactly like Camryn. Except this one had slightly wavier hair.

    Mindy gave a knowing look. "Diane, no."

    "Diane, yes." Diane smirked before getting up and going up to 'Camryn.'

    Verity and the others watched as Diane talked to the brunette. Diane started to go red in the face as she talked with the brunette.

She waddled back to her friends. "What happened?" Mindy asked as Diane took her seat again.

"She just might have turned me gay." Diane joked as 'Camryn' walked over.

The group tensed up. "I believe you four got me confused for Cam." She had that sweet sounding voice. "I'm her sister, Clara Velez." Clara gave a bleach white smile.

The more Verity looked at her, the more she could tell the differences. Clara had fluffier hair and freckles. Her eyes were more of a blue-brown than Camryn's green-brown.

"You also sisters with Corinne Velez?" Aneli asked Clara.

Clara breathed out of her nose. "Yes. She's my little sister."

"I'm guessing Caroline is also your sister?" Verity leaned forward. Clara nodded. "So there are four of you."

Clara shook her head. "There's five actually. There's me, Camryn, Caroline, Corinne, and our brother Carlisle."

The four girls looked over at each other. There's not just one Velez walking around, there's five?

"And they all go to Eden Hall?" Mindy blinked. Clara nodded. "I'm guessing your parents really like 'C' names."

Clara giggled softly. "Well their names are Chloe and Charles. Guess they wanted to stick with the theme. Anywho, I'm meeting up with my dear brother, so ciao."

She turned on her heels and went across the room to another table.

"She's really pretty and seems really sweet." Aneli broke the silence. "Unlike her bitch sister."

Diane lingered her eyes more. "Damn, her brother is fine as fuck." The three other girls turned to where Clara was.

A tall-ish boy with soft brown curly hair sat with her. They could kind of make out a dash of freckles across his face.

"He could tell me to bark and i will."

"That's weird."

"No, no she's right. I would let him slap me without consequences."

"Ew."

"Sorry for not having a boyfriend. Man, he could change that for me."

"I thought you liked-"

"Okay, we're done here."

-

    Verity was looking for Trey when she found someone else instead. "Trey, there you are-" she stopped when she realized it wasn't him. "Sorry, I thought you were someone else."

    "Yeah." He laughed. "Name's Carlisle. Carlisle Velez, not Trey." He smiled brightly. "And, uh, who are you?"

"Verity. Verity Portman." Verity answered and returned the smile.

Carlisle snapped his fingers. "Ah, the girl my sister thinks is a threat."

"Um." Verity didn't know how to respond to that. "Which sister?" She knew exactly which one.

Carlisle gave her a knowing look. "Corinne."

Verity let out an awkward laugh and saw Bryce walking over with Corinne Velez. "Speaking of your sister."

Carlisle looked behind. "Hello, sister and my sister's friend." He crossed over so he's next to Verity.

"Who's this, Cori?" Bryce crossed his arms at Carlisle.

Carlisle reached out his hand. "Carlisle Evan Velez."

Bryce reluctantly shook it. "Uh, Bryce Versace Banks."

    "You're related to Adam Banks, yes?" Bryce nodded and dropped his arm. "Extraordinary player."

    Bryce turned to Verity. "So, what you doing with Carlisle, V?"

Verity crossed her arms. "What you doing with Corinne, B?"

"Just saying hi." Bryce answered and Corinne gave him a look. "What about you now?"

Carlisle stared at him. "She was just doing the same." He did a small smirk. "Right, dear?" He put his elbow on Verity's shoulder.

"Right." Verity agreed. "Now if you three will excuse me, I'm going to go find Trey."

;

"Not another one." Verity mumbled before walking over to Camryn and Trey. "Hey, guys."

Camryn gave a little nod to her. "Hi."

"We're just finishing up, Dior." Trey continued looking over the paper he held. "You're really getting this, Cam."

    Verity looked down to the floor as Trey and Camryn finished up. She didn't say anything until a few minutes after the Velez girl left.

    "You guys on a nickname basis now?" Verity crossed her arms. "Just so you know, 'That's good, Cam' will turn into 'Oh, Cam, i love you.' Just saying."

    Trey gave her a look. "Are you being jealous?"

    "Just being a girlfriend." Verity leaned against the table.

    Trey leaned back in his chair. "Right, right."

"What?"

"Didn't think you were the jealous type, Dior." Trey admits.

Verity scoffed. "You haven't seen jealousy yet, hun."

"Neither have you from me."

Verity gave a look. "Yeah, sure." She turned away. "I've seen how you look at me and Bryce."

Trey was quick with his answer. "Just like how you look at him with Corinne."

"I'm done." Verity huffed before walking away. Very deep down she knew he was right.
