Three Wishes

Chapter 10

When I arrive at the Coach's office, I am greeted with silence, telling me that he wasn't here at the moment. However, his computer was now shutting down which meant he mustn't have left too long ago. Picking up my bag and venturing back to the field, I see that Ben had already packed up and left this area deserted. But contrary to my statement, two people were sitting on the bleachers, Coach and...Jay. I wanted to let Coach sign the sheets one time so that I can get it out of the way, but now my mind was faltering since that involves having to 'be a good girl' to the descendant while there.

"Hey, Coach!" I yell, feeling a bit guilty for interrupting their conversation. But even though I felt that way, I was still able to give Jay an 'I'm on to you' look. With this expression, compiled with an icy cold stare, he froze for a few seconds.

"Hey Gem, what can I do for you?" Coach replies, no doubt missing the series of looks that transpire between myself and him.

"I was wondering if you had time to sign these dismissal forms. But since you're busy I can come back later..."

"No, it's alright." Coach takes the paper and pen from my grasp, quickly scribbling down his initials in the open spaces. After a couple of moments, I shift my vision to Jay, with his aggressive chocolate brown eyes stare into my similarly coloured ones. At this point, I am still confused about Jay, but I will always protect Ben no matter what. Even if it means crushing the guy, I am...interested in? Kind of like? Very much like?

"Here you go!" a deep voice booms, a dark brown hand shoving a paper and pen back into my grip. He had startled me, making Jay show an expression that mimicked amusement. With that I look away and bid my farewells, not wanting to look into those mesmerising eyes more than I have to.

"Oh my lamp...what am I doing?" I mumble to myself, my feet carrying me in the direction of Ben's room. At least when we see the girls, because Benny only wants to see Mal, I won't be in contact with Jay, hopefully...

Jay's POV~

I don't know what came over me, but somehow after hearing the Coach talk about teamwork, the mantra "There is no team in I" didn't sound so appealing anymore. I mean, being able to beat people up and win, just for the price of teamwork, doesn't seem so bad. After sneaking up to the girl's dormitory, I opened Mal and Evie's door ecstatically.

"Ha Ha Ha," it wasn't really in a funny manner, but more of a showing off one, "Eyy!" I do a couple of poses showing off my new team jersey which had my name and everything. It wasn't leather or anything, but somehow this was pretty cool. However, my excitement died down fairly quick which causes me to chill out by the girl's beds.

"Did your plan work with Jane? You going over to see the wand?" Leaning my arm on the pillar of her bed I wait for a calm response, only to be on the receiving end of an angry one instead.

"Do you think that I would be going through every single spell in this book if I hadn't completely stuck out?" Mal stresses, her eyes only detaching from her spellbook for a second before becoming glued once more.

"Well, it seems like someone's in a bad mood..." Carlos mutters to us, getting smirks in agreement.

"My mom's counting on me! I can't let her down! Not to mention that this genie girl knows about the whole thing now..." With a flick at Carlos' head he shuts up, but something she says makes me ask her another question.

"Genie girl?" I have a feeling that I know who she was talking about...but I didn't know she was a genie.

"Yeah. Gin, or whatever her-name-is, knows our plan and what we're after. And if that wasn't bad enough, she's Ben's best friend which means that if I don't find another way to get that wand today, we are toast." Evie, Carlos and I all look at each other in shock. How could we have let this happen? Although, at least now I know where the genie is...
