The Otaku and The Prince

The Storm

There was a couple minutes left of class so I pulled out my phone but just as quickly it disappeared from my hands.

"Hey!" I snapped as Jack snatched it away from me. I reached across my desk to try and grab it back but he leaned back. "Give it back!"

"Chill, Chocolate."

I fumed.

After a couple seconds he gave it back with a wide smile plastered on his face. I gave him a suspicious look, "What'd you do?"

I looked at the screen that was on the contacts.

"What person only has four people on their phone?" Jack snorted.

I glared at him, but didn't say anything. There was mom, dad, Alison, my real dad, and now Jack. "I don't want your number."

"You'll need it for the project and I memorized yours so I'll be texting you. I'm also surprised that you don't have Kale's number on there."

"Wait... one, how'd you memorize mine? And two, I don't want his number either!"

Jack laughed annoyingly, "I'm sure you don't. I could give you his number if you want? And I just memorize things fast."

"I don't want his number." Yes you do, Shut up thoughts!

The bell rang.

I grabbed my shit, stood up fast, and hurried out the door. Jack said something but luckily his groupies swarmed him before he could follow. I sighed in relief once I entered the sea of students. I followed the flow so I wouldn't get trampled...

I felt their presence before I saw them.

"Hello, Choca." The twins spoke at once.

It was cute and creepy at the same time. I looked left to Ryan and then right to Jude (I think anyways). "Hey," I replied awkwardly.

"So we heard you have a thing for Kale."

I froze on spot, my heart pounding. "I... I don't."

How the f- were people finding out? Jack suddenly appeared in my mind.

Son of a bitch!

Ryan... or was it Jude? Who had the duck? ...leaned down to whisper, "We saw you two in the forest."

A rubber band snapped in the back of my head and I began to laugh nervously and backing away from them. They gave me these amused, sinister smiles.

"I... I don't know... what you're talking about."

A student suddenly shoved me from behind, pushing me towards the twins. "You guys were getting pretty hot and heavy."

My face blew tomato red, I stammered out unintelligible words.

"It's okay, we won't tell." They said at the same time.

My mouth shut tight at that, I was feeling relieved for a millimeter of a second before they started with the,

"But." They said, advancing on me with their hands in their pant pocket; brown eyes on me. "We have one condition."

The twins and I gathered behind the school.

From here we could hear students and the traffic. The clouds were beginning to form together darkly, a storm was brewing fast. I turned my attention back to the sexy twins. Without the duck I couldn't tell them apart, they even wore the same outfit. I feel like- on the low they screwed with people like this.

"What's the condition?" I crossed my arms. "And are you two working for Jack or something?"

The twins looked at each other then burst out into a creepy laugh. "You have quite an imagination. No, we don't, however Jack is our friend and Kale is not."

"Okay? So why are you harassing me again?"

"We're not harassing you. We came to warn you again." They both took a step back, I did the same.

How the hell are they still talking at the same time?

"You'll be in big trouble if you fall in love with him."

"What the hell does that have to do with you anyway?" I snapped.

"We just don't want to see you... get hurt." They crossed their arms, their face serious. "We don't want the past to repeat."

This time only one spoke, "Stay away from Kale."

The other spoke, "We won't tolerate seeing him with you."

I held up my hands in a stop signal. "First of all, don't threaten me, second I don't care what you tolerate, three it's my damn life. If I fall and get hurt then fine! That's natural, it's how it works."

The twins both sighed then gave each other an unspoken look. After a moment of silence they looked back at me.

"Fine I guess we'll just tell everyone."

My jaw dropped, "What!" I screeched. "You can't!"

Just then a fourth voice spoke out. "Ryan, Jude, leave her be."

We turned just as Jack came from around the corner with a sadistic smile on his face. "I'm interested to see how this will play out."

"Where did you come from?" I asked the same time the twins said, "I don't think that's a good idea."

Jack turned to the twins. "I'm her partner for a very special project." They each shared a look that I didn't understand. "Leave this to me."

"Uhm, excuse me!" I glared at all three of them. "This isn't some kind of ga-"

Suddenly Jack advanced fast on me and cuffed my chin with his hand, his eyes blank of the usual funny, easy-going fuckboy. Instead his eyes were as stormy as the skies, there was something sick in them. It was enough for me to shut my mouth out of fear.

"Darling, don't worry about a thing." Suddenly his mood switched and he smiled and laughed as if it was a joke as he released my chin. "Sorry about that, hun. You guys apologize too."

Jack took a couple steps back and the twins reluctantly apologized.

"Sorry about all of this." Jack smiled innocently, "You can go now."

I shouldered my bag, "You don't gotta tell me twice." I grumbled and hurried around the building, to the sidewalk, and then all the way home. Even now my body was still shaking.

Just as I reached my room my phone beeped. I sat in my bed and pulled out my phone, the message was from an unknown number...

 Sorry again darling... it's Jack btw and I'm very excited about our project ;)
