The Ugly Bet

Chapter 36 - Jack the Giant Slayer

Lyz

I expected Jack's appearance in our school to real trending among girls but I didn't expect Jack to smile at every staring girls on our way. He just make every female specie in this school fall for him. The results? Everyone is freaking following and staring us. Really frustrating.

"Jack, stop flirting with everyone, you're drawing too much attention." I hissed at him while we are on the lockers. Glad that that room had been exclusive to Ashley's group so they can't just follow us here. I let Jack use my two spare lockers because letting him slip off my eyes will surely mean trouble to us. That's why I would take it even if he will be my classmate in every single subject I have.

"You were never the jealous type, baby. What happened to your confidence? Drained by that stupid dickhead ex-boyfriend of yours?" I just rolled my eyes at him and got my books. Something caught his attention and he smirked while looking at the entrance. "Speaking of the devil."

I froze for a moment and suddenly felt my heartbeat rapid. Dustin is coming. Dustin will see my with Jack. Dustin will think that Jack and I were together again. Dustin will---

"Jack... So it was real you're back... For good?" I heard Dustin's voice and hell, I could feel him closely behind me. If I turn around, I'm sure our bodies would almost touch. Now my heart beats even more rapidly.

What the hell. I filled my lungs with enough air before turning around and quickly step towards Jack so I'll be beside him while facing Dustin. "Yes, my good," Jack smirked and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I felt Dustin's eyes on my face but when I look back at him, he is staring at Jack's arm on my shoulder. "and you're bad." Dustin's eyes returned to Jack's then smirked.

"Well, goodluck. And welcome to Cameron Dale." he said and glanced at me before turning around to go to his locker. I looked at Jack without any trace of smile.

"Jack, you don't want a trouble this morning." he grinned but I kept my eyes on him. "And your arms are heavy."

"O-kay." he said and removed his arm lazily around my shoulders. "Let's go to our class."

"No, go to the school registrar first and secure your class cards." I said. He compalined and said that he could just order the registrar to come to our classroom so he could accompany me. "No. We don't like special treatment in this school. Go now." Pamy came and kissed my cheek in excitement but before she whined about whatever that is, I introduced Jack to him. She didn't seem to notice Jack, the first girl to ignore him in this school. "Jack, Pamy, my bestfriend."

"Hi Jack," Jack flashed a smile and offered a handshake but Pamy stared at him with wide eyes and poked him on his shoulder instead. "hey, you're the evil brother of Ashley, right?"

"What?"

I burst out laughing both at Pamy's innocent and bold question and at Jack's red face and his reaction. He gave me an irritated look and that's when I tried to stop laughing. Pamy continued. "Oh sorry, please don't get mad at me if I said that but it's better that you know what you are. Don't worry we will have enough to prove that. Anyway, my bestfriend and I have someting to talk about so please excuse us. Girl's thing," she smiled sweetly at Jack before pulling me with her. I mouthed 'sorry' to him and when I saw Greg on the hallway with Ashley, I asked him to assist Jack.

"What is that you want to tell me?" I asked her while we're walking to our classroom. "If it's about Dustin and his little stunt yesterday, I already made myself clear. I've forgiven him but I'm not going back to him."

"Really? Do you really want to end up your lovestory? You have just started. You sure you wanna break up with him? he's serious about his feelings for you..." I was speechless and she just raised a brow at me. "Anyway, it's not about him. It's about Honi-Honi. Are you willing to take the job? Keith's got an idea, why don't you put up a band since we know how to play instruments? That'd be great, right?" she was beaing and I just agreed. "Keith said I was really good playing the keyboard. And he wants to enrol to some music class with me, that's really cool!" and she kept on talking about what she and Keith talked about. So that's it. She'll be with Keith again that's why she's really excited. Poor Pamy, she really likes him but it seems Keith doesnt like her enough to ask her to be his girlfriend. Ooh love.
