Chapter Five- Finn calls Adonis a drug addict

The next day, I sat with my usual LC.

When I sat down, tension was pumping in the air. It was originating from an unsuspected source. Kassi and Victoria.

"What's going on?" I asked, cautious.

"They're fighting," Jolly whispered to me.

"We are not fighting!!" Kassi snapped, "Vic's just being stupid."

Vic gawked, "I'm not being stupid!! Kassi's just being a whore!!"

Madison and Kassi gasped simultaneously. 

"I was just talking to her!" Kassi hissed back.

"You were flirting!" Vic declared.

"Guys!" I yelled, holding my hands up. "What the hell is going on?"

"Oh, God," Logan groaned, "Kassi called that new girl, Carolyn, pretty. Victoria got pissed."

"Oh, my god Victoria." I said with a grunt.

"Kassi did not call Carolyn pretty. She called Carolyn hot." Victoria hissed, slamming her hands on the table. "Kassi never calls me hot."

"Victoria, you're being ridiculous." Kassi spat at her.

"But you two aren't supposed to fight!" Jolly mumbled, mellow.

"Yeah, the fighting is supposed to come from Helena!" Madison nodded.

The air hung still for a moment before we all burst into fits of laughter; even Helena grinned.

When the laughter died down, I hung my head in my hand. I adored the chemistry in my LC. No matter the tensity, no matter the fight, someone would crack a joke and it would all melt away.

"So," Madison knotted her fingers together, "I saw you sat next to Scott yesterday. Was that an adventure?"

I opened my mouth to answer, but Victoria beat me to it.

"Ugh, don't bring up Carolyn's other spawn!" She groaned.

I did a double take, "Carolyn and Scott are siblings?"

"Yeah," Kassi tugged a lock of hair behind her ear. "He's got a brother, too."

"A super hot brother," Madison squeed. "You need to do him justice, Kassi."

Kassi cast a sidelong glance at Victoria. "We've already been through calling the Faire's hot, now haven't we?"

Victoria rolled her eyes.

I cleared my throat, "Well, he's not that great."

Madison raised an eyebrow, "You've seen him?" She used a suggestive drawl in her voice.

I ruffled my napkin into a ball and threw it at her. It bounced off her forehead. "Not like that, moron." I sighed, "But my brother seems to think so." I winced when I remembered the disaster that was the past night.

"What?" Logan asked, her nose wrinkling.

I sighed heavily, "He thinks just because Adonis wants to take me out, I will somehow convince every guy he brings over into my bed."

"Is he homophobic?" Helena asked.

"No, he's paranoid." I pushed my hair out of my eyes, "It's the classic 'don't-touch-my-stuff' act. It's ridiculous. I was talking to him about Scott and his plans for the racist cheerleaders and he flipped. Now Lydia knows how to say 'fuck', and just--augh!" I groaned, stuffing my face in my hands.
