Scarlet Harlots (Editing Now)

Chapter 26- Wet Skinny Jeans

Jolie

When Chase and Jared left the classroom all eyes turned to me.

“What?!” I asked out loud.  Un-lady like and un dignified.

There was a flat silence that surrounded the room, that was, until one of Chase’s new friends interrupted it.  “I think you just got dumped.” Was his smart remark.  Pecks....

I’ve been watched so often, I was used to it, but the shock of Chase being part of the Red Society… I gulped, she was moving on already, and I haven’t even told her that I was taking over the Scarlet Harlots without her.

If I could see anything at all from my eyes, being squinted, frustrated at what Chase had done, it was red.  I wanted to see her face when I told her that, I wanted to see her suff- wait, what?  Me? Want Chase to suffer?  She was my best friend… or was she?

Obviously she wasn’t, if she wasn’t going to tell me she was in the Red Society, no, now she was competition.

And… and Harvey?  Why would he need her?

I sat up, not listening to reason or Mrs. Kathrine telling me to sit back down, but soon I realized I was passing many classrooms as I ran down the halls toward the Red Room.

I was on my way to my first class when I was grabbed from behind, and pulled to the Red Room, Kenzi was grinning wildly, and his excitement was enough for me to grow enough curiosity to wait for the surprise.

Leo and Jasper came in with Harvey and all but me seemed to know what the bloody hell was going on.

“Where’s Jared?” I asked, but a moment soon, as Jared seemed to be on cue (as always) came in with Chase following behind.  As soon as she was in, I then noticed the barrel of water.

“Chase! Oh!” I began to warn her, but too quickly the boys drenched her from head to toe.

“Ah!” She screamed and glared at a hysterically laughing Jared who now was on the floor crying from laughter.

“What was that for?” I asked.

“Part one of initiation.” Kenzi cheered.

“I haven’t joined.” Chase explained.

“Jared!” Kenzi then yelled, looking accusingly at him.

“She lives with us, she practices with us, she’s behind in the back stage when we have our interviews, she knows the lead almost better than I do.” Jared states.

“Are you sure this isn’t a conflict of interest?” Kenzi then folds his arms at Jared.

“Interest? With that Barbie?” Jared asks not even giving Chase a glance.

Her face flushes and she begins to open the door, looking at the floor, to which Jared seems to have felt as he closed it, still not looking at her.

She looked up at him, yet he didn’t spare a glance.  “What do you WANT Jared?”

He then leans on the door, his back resting on it as he peers into Chase’s eyes, “you…” he said softly.

She took a step back quickly, and Jared continued. “To take up guitar, and dye your hair back red.  To graduate early, so you’ll have to start an accelerated program like us.  I want you… to let Jolie and Justin have their band, and stay with us.”

“But I’m not British, I’ll mess up your image of being heart throbs” She looked down to the floor.

“Are you kidding?  You’re hot!” Leo laughed behind me.
