REE

There was something strange about the way Jye was kissing me that day he dropped me off at English. His passionate, slow kisses were exchanged for lust ridden, hungry kisses.

I know we had been going out for whatever and hadn't even had sex yet but Jye was acting strange and i dind't like it. When he took off my shirt, i looked into his eyes.

They were dilated and full of lust. I had to stop before we got too far.

As i put my shirt back on, i could feel his eyes examining my body. The wild feelings of our make-out session made me put my shirt on in slow motion, teasing him. When i realised what i was doing, i stopped and quickly pulled my shirt on-- covering my overexposed body.

I looked over at Jye, he was sitting up with a cocky expression on his face. I drank in his perfect body-- defined abs, 'v' lines, biceps-- as he too put on his shirt.

I went to the bathroom to splash some water on my face and fix my hair, when i emerged Jye was sitting up on my bed waiting for me.

"I've got a new girl in my Math class. I think it's safe to say i finally made a friend!" Jye's cocky grin went right off his face. His expression went from smug to worried within all of five seconds.

"She's really pretty-- i think you'll like her," i offered him a smile as i sat beside him.

"What's her name?" He asked through gritted teeth.

"Stephanie Adams. She's from California." Jye stiffened beside me and i gave him a worried look.

"What?" 

"Stephanie. From California. Blonde hair, blue eyes, slutty dress?" He asked.

"I'll have you know that she is extremely kind! You shouldn't judge a book by its cover." 

"Shit, she's two faced," he muttered.

"Excuse me?" i asked.

"How'd she get in your maths class anyway?"

"Her parents are Lawyers, she's trying to get into medicine. The guys in class were practically drooling over her when she walked in. The girls gave her dirties so i welcomed her over and we bonded instantly."

"Over what exactly?" Jye had subconsciously put his arm around my shoulder and started to play with my hair.

"TV shows, books, celebrities. The usual. We're going shopping this weekend by the way, sorry. I promised her i'd be there." I said getting off the bed and heading toward my bag.

"So you're just going to blow off our hang session?"

"You could always come..."

"Yeah, no. I don't think she's good news Ree."

"Just because she's hot doesn't automatically make her a slut. Or a bitch for that matter."

"Don't say i didn't warn you when she is a total bitch to you."

"Don't be so negative. I'm giving her a chance."

"Promise me it's the only chance you'll give her?" 

"I don't know..."

"What do you mean?"

"I have a three chance policy."

"There's an exception to every rule, Ree."

"If she stuffs it up that badly then i'll think about it. She's pretty, smart and nice. What could possibly go wrong?" 

"Everything." 

"Did you forget that  you're my only friend here? I think it'll be good having a friend that is not invisble or of the male species."

"I'll see you later," Jye said-- jaw clenched.

"Did I offend you? I'm sorry--"

"Save it Ree. Go have fun with your new friend. I'll see you tomorrow."

I walked over to the now pissed off Jye and placed my hands on his arms.

"I'm sorry. It was a joke and i did not mean to offend you. I'm also sorry about not hanging out with you this weekend. I'm a big girl, i can look after myself, okay?" 

"I promised to look after you. If anything happens to you, God knows how insane i'd go. Just... be careful okay?"

"I will." He kissed my forehead and shimmered away.

If only i knew how bad their encounter was.

***

I met Stephanie at the mall on Saturday. Jye was like my personal bodyguard and the second he saw Stephanie come into sight, he all but shimmered away instantly.

"Hey Ree!" She sauntered over and gave me a hug.

"Shall we get down to it?"

"Yes!" She squealed and looped her arm through mine. 

We shopped for all of five hours and my feet were killing me when we sat down for coffee at Starbucks.

"How are you still walking in those?" I asked looking down at Stephanie's stilettos.

"Beauty means pain, my darling."

"Your feet are going to suffocate in those."

"I'm used to it," she waved it off and ordered her coffee. 

When i sat down with my frappe, she smiled widely at me.

"So, tell me all about yourself!" She exclaimed.

And for some weird reason, i did.

I told her every. Little. Detail.

It wasn't until i got back to my dorm i suspected something was up.

Don't be stupid Ree. She's a nice girl and you had a great time. That little voice in my head said.

I shrugged off the thought and climbed into bed.

Exhausted, i closed my eyes and fell asleep instantly.

I dreamt about Jye and Stephanie that night. 

As a couple.

I tossed and turned and when i woke up in the morning, i swear i thought i saw Jye making out with her.

Thought.

Hopefully, that was all it was.

A/N

So, what do you think of Stephanie?

Is Jye right about not trusting her?

And why is Ree suddenly imagining her new friend with Jye?
