Game On

Chapter Twenty-Two

(Attached: Alex's idea for his 'Disney Princess Photo')

ALEX'S P.O.V

"Belle is the hottest though!" I reason.

Spencer scoffs. "Is that some kind of joke? Have you seen Jasmine? Hot damn." He whistles.

"But Belle is just so... dainty!" I argue back.

Spencer starts yelling adjectives to describe his favourite princess. "Spicey! Exotic! Fierce!"

Ruby and Reid shoot us a glare from the seats infront of us.

"I don't even know why this is up for debate." Ruby shakes her head.

Reid's lips are pursed as she nods in agreement with the red-head. "Mulan kicks ass."

Spencer and I roll our eyes. "Well, I'll be getting a photo with my favourite Disney princess, while you two take a photo with some chick who plays dress up." I say smugly, crossing my arms.

We haven't been on the road long, so we've still got quite a while until we get to California. I'm completely fine with it though, because I happen to enjoy long car trips. I've got my bestfriend beside me, my favourite parents driving me, and my loving opponent infront of me.

I've also got Ruby infront of me, but she probably dislikes me. I'm indifferent to Ruby if I'm being quite honest. She hot, funny, weird and confident. But she's a bookish nerd, just like Reid. Plus, if she's best friends with Jordan, this Ruby chick must have a bad judge of character. I spend an awful lot of time with her, so I wasn't surprised when I saw Ruby jumping out of her car outside the Reid household this morning.

Mrs Reid called me last night with the good news. They had bought me accommodation and a day pass to Disneyland. I offered to pay, although I knew I couldn't afford it anyway. I secretly knew they would deny any of my pleads, seeing as I know the pair very well, but I knew it would be polite to offer.

"At first I thought your mom was joking when she called me last night! And I was like, woah, you have to be pranking me right now! But then your mom was all like, no I'm not! And I was all like sweeeeeeeeet!" Ruby babbles to Jordan.

Spencer chuckles quietly to himself listening to the redhead's excitement. I could see everyone in the car perk up a bit, myself included. Her excitement was contagious.

"Will we be back in time for school dad?" Jordan asks.

I roll my eyes. "Nerd." I cough, disguising my insult.

"What did you just say to me?"

With a smirk on my face, a settle a little further into the leather seat. "You heard me."

Jordan's jaw clenches. "If you so much as look at me wrong, I will get that seatbelt and use it to cut off your breathing."

I lean in close to her ear, so only she could hear me. "Oh so you're into that shit huh? Kinky."

Jordan makes a sound of disgust as she turns herself back towards the front.

"What did you say to her?" Spencer asks, arms crossed.

"Nothing." I reply, an innocent smile playing on my lips.

Mrs Reid glares at me through the rear-view mirror. "Well whatever bickering is going on between the two of you, I'd like it to stop. It would be a miracle of the Lord to have a Jordan and Alex drama-free weekend." She says sternly.

I huff and Jordan pouts. "Sorry mom."

Spencer looks a little bit relieved to see that Reid and I are up to our usual antics. Both Reid and myself would be major screwed if he ever found out about our game. He's already on my case for being friendlier than usual with her, and I'd be fucked if he found out about stolen kisses and resting arm touches. Speaking of the game, I've gotta start working on making her fall in love with me.
