Something New

Chapter 10

**READ THE AUTHORS NOTE AT THE END PLEASE**

"Jasmine! How come you haven't been keeping me on top of what's been going on in your life! It's like a freaking soap opera now!"

"Amber. Calm down. I know I haven't been keeping up with you, but every time I call you, I get your voice mail. Why have you been keeping me in the dark?"

"Oh," she laughed nervously. "I got a boyfriend. It's Darren"

My eyebrows shot up instantly. "Darren? As in Darren Samuel?"

She was silent. I know for a fact that even though we couldn't see each other, Amber was averting her eyes and shuffling her feet.

"Amber," I prodded. Branden nudged me in the side while clearing his throat indicating to speed it up a bit.

"Okay look Ambi, I gotta go, but this isn't over. I call you back later. Bye." I hung the phone

up before she could come back with a bullshit rebuttal.

I turned in my seat toward Branden. "Okay Bran Bran, you ready to shop till we drop!?" I asked excitedly.

"Yeah come on kiddo. I need to go see when the new Jordan's are released."

I rolled my eyes at him while pushing open the door of his car.

Looking around eagerly at all the choices in the mall, I couldn't contain myself.

"If you keep this up, you're gonna drop a shit on the floor. Control yourself," Branden chuckled.

After a few deep breaths and a handful of "oosahhs", I was ready to go.

Two hours passed and I still haven't even made a dent in what I want to buy. There are still so many stores left, but we had to cut our little shopping trip short since Branden threatened to, and I quote, "rip your balls off and shove them down your throat and when you shit them out, I'll make you eat them again if you ever whistle and try to grab my baby sister's ass again you dick." So we were kicked out of Hollister and are making our way out of the mall.

While Branden was fuming and mumbling incoherent things, I was busy laughing at a funny video of a baby on a jet ski that Mason sent me. As I was trying to type a response through my giggles, I bumped into someone.

"Oops, sorry I wasn't paying attention..." My polite smile vanished from my lips when I noticed who I crashed into.

"Well, well, well. Isn't it the slutbag who streaked for everyone at Mason's party," she smirked.

"Amelia. How're your crabs? Everyone was itching to know who gave them to you. Actually, I'm sure you'd like to know as well," I smirked right back at her.

Embarrassment was quickly replaced by anger as she lunged at me. "Why you little bitch!"

I quickly moved out of the way and watched her hurl into a nearby trashcan.

Branden and I made no move to contain our laughter while she shrieked with all her might yelling out various profanities.

"Maybe next time you'll watch where you're going instead of trying to pick a fight." I paused for a beat. "Bitch."

Basking in my glory and shaking my head at Amelia being so pathetic, my brother and I trotted toward the exit of the mall.

A bitter laugh stopped me in my tracks. "Ha! You think you have Nathan and Mason wrapped around your finger? Well news flash hoe, I fucked Nathan and he had me sore the next day. But I sure you already knew that since you caught the two of us in your bed. As for Mason, he has never had a girlfriend. I mean have you seen him? He's a fucking sex god. Girls throw themselves at him every single chance they get. He can barely keep his pants up let alone date the new girl. What do you think this is? Some cheesy Lifetime movie where the new girl comes in and everyone miraculously falls in love with her? Fuck no! This is real life and once those two get what they want out of you, they will leave your ass in the dust. Then, you will be even more pathetic than you already are.
