The Game

Chapter Eight

A/N: Hey everyone! SOOO sorry that I'm posting so late! I was so busy last week! Y'all are absolutely phenomonal, just saying. So, in honor of all of your reads, comments, votes and fanning, I wrote y'all an extra long chapter - it was 18 pages on word, just saying.

Second thing, I have two COMPETITIONS that I'm doing! Details below!

1. Cover Competition: Basically, I don't like my cover, so the competition is for you to design a cover for the story. Obviously the title should be on it, and if you could put my username (chlobuggy if anyone is unsure) on it too, that would be great. Email it to me at chlobuggy@yahoo.com. The final day to submit the cover will be Monday, July 18. I'll select a winner by Wednesday, July 20. If the cover is sent later that July 18, I won't even look at it. The winner will have the next chapter dedicated to them as well as the pleasure of seeing their work as the cover for my story.

2. Casting Competition: My casting kind of sucks, so PM me your ideal cast. Remember, Jason as dark hair and Liam has blonde hair. The casting should include Jenna, Jason, Liam, Fred, Holly, Lindsey (Jenna's mom), Sarah, Anna and Corrine. The characters should match their descriptions in the book. Some of them are pretty vague, so it gives you a lot to work with. If any of these characters are missing or incorrectly portrayed, your submission will be disqualified. The deadline is also Monday, July 18. The winner will also have the next chapter dedicated to them as well as their cast. My final decision will be on Friday, July 22.

If you have any questions, just comment below!

It's not edited! Sorry about that! Anyway, enjoy and sorry for the uber long time span between updates!

BEFORE I FORGET TO TELL YOU!!! A lot of people have been PMing me, commenting and writing on my message board to read their story. I've put a new 'story' on. It'll be titled 'Read Me'. That's where you can comment and ask me read/critique/etc. your stories. Because, quite frankly, I forget, and I constantly get emails to remind me! So I would appreciate it if you would post there!

THANKS!

Chapter Eight

            True to his word, Jason didn’t talk to me for weeks. He didn’t sit next to me in class. He didn’t hang around after school. He never sat by me at lunch. In some ridiculous way, I missed it. I don’t know why I missed it, but I did. I couldn’t remember the score between us by now. At first, I would say that I won. But I didn’t, not really. Because if I had won, I should feel some sort of satisfaction, right? I should feel like I triumphed, and I shouldn’t miss him.

            Jenna: loser

            Jason: winner

            I still don’t know what we won or lost in our “game”, but something tells me it was huge. Because some mornings the only thing I wanted was to here Jason call me Angel and send me that annoyingly beautiful cocky smirk.

            Fred of course, was doing everything right. He was buying flowers, taking me to dinner – we went back to Mai Mai’s and she really did feel bad. The next morning, I felt fine. So I’m assuming it was a freak accident that I ended up with food poisoning. Fred impressed my mom and now, I rarely saw the piercings. The tats were still there, of course, but they were apart of him and I would never wish them gone.

            The only one in this whole mix who ceased to ever change was Liam. He was still constantly there, making me laugh and telling me everything I could get out of him about his girlfriend – which was practically everything. I felt like I knew her, and I already loved her. The only thing, well, person, that Liam refused to ever talk about was Jason. When I would ask after him, Liam would shrug his shoulders and say something along the lines of, “I don’t know, Jen. He’s just been everywhere, recently.” That’s about as much as I could ever get out of him.
