Jealous ♥︎ A Keeper of the Lost Cities Fanfiction

Chapter Three

Sophie burst out laughing.

"Were you - trying to - spy - on us?" 

Keefe lifted his head up with a sheepish smile on his face.

"Maybe, or maybe not."

Biana waved her hands in a shooing motion.

"Get out! Geez."

"Mmhmm see, I told you guys not to do it." Said Fitz.

Tam snorted.

"Oh really, Wonderboy?" Dex countered. "I thought you were the one who suggested the idea."

Keefe smirked, and started mimicking Fitz.

"Oh yeah, you did. You said, and I quote, 'Let's go see who the girls have on their scrolls.  I hope I'm number one on Sop-" 

He was interrupted when Fitz's hand clapped over his mouth.

"Shut up." He hissed. 

Sophie reached up to pull an itchy eyelash. Was Keefe about to say her name? Was Keefe teasing Fitz or did he actually say that? She pushed her questions to the back of her mind, and flicked her eyelash to the ground. 

Biana huffed.

"Hello? Us girls need to have girl talk, and you four," she jabbed her finger at the boys, "Are not girls. So, bye." 

Biana shoved the boys out of her room, with several protests from them. When Biana pushed Tam out, Sophie noticed his face was tinted pink. Apparently Linh had noticed too, as she shared a conspiracy grin with Sophie.

Tam tilted his head back to glare at them.

Sophie tried to stifle a giggle at Biana's obliviousness but failed.

Biana shut the door with her shoulder and frowned at Sophie.

"What's funny?"

"Oh nothing." Linh answered innocently.

Biana looked at her suspiciously but dropped the topic. 

"This time I'll give mine to Sophie, Sophie to Linh, and Linh to me. Alright?"

Both girls nodded wearily and passed their's to whoever Biana assigned them.

Biana's scroll read:

Sophie grinned. Tam was Biana's number one, and she was sure Linh would tell her brother. Everyone knew that Tam liked Biana, well that is everyone except for Biana. But everyone also knew that Biana liked Keefe, except for Keefe. 

"So Biana," she said casually, "which guy are you hoping to ask you to dance at your Winnowing Gala?"

Biana actually seemed to take the question seriously.

"Keefe would be my first choice. But don't you dare tell him that! And if he didn't ask me, then I would pick Tam."

Linh tensed up.

"My twin is your second choice?" She asked slowly.

"Well yeah." Biana replied flippantly.

"And haven't you noticed that Keefe has no romantic feelings for you at all? The only girl he cares about is Sophie! Haven't you realised that?"

Biana broke the stunned silence that came after.

"I just need time to get over him. Besides..." She looked over at Sophie. "...Sophie doesn't like Keefe, she would date him if I were over him."

When Sophie shot her a glare, she raised her hands up defensively.

"I wouldn't mind that much if she did, but you know..." She broke off, looking at her feet.

"I know that. I wish you would give him a chance, Tam looks at you with this sickenly adoring gaze. Like, it's endearing but I suffer from second-hand embarrassment from that."

Biana cracked a smile at that.

"We'll see. Anywhooooo, I have a plan for Sophie here. Keefe'll be part of it since Dex is basically your cousin, and Tam's like your brother-"

Sophie interuppted.

"Keefe is like my brother too."

"Well we know that, but Fitz doesn't so Keefe works."

Sophie had a very bad feeling about this so-called "great" plan. Very bad. If Biana mentioned anything else about Fitz being in the plan, then she wou-

"My wonderful plan will get her long-time crush to fall for her."

She completely ignored Sophie's shriek of 'BIANA YOU ARE SO SO DEAD!'

"Who?" Linh asked curiously.

Biana grinned all kinds of evil.

"Why Fitz of course. My plan will ensure that Fitz will turn head-over-heels for her."

Sophie narrowed her eyes.

"Do I get a say in this?"

"Nope."
