I'm With The Boys

Chapter Five

"Jesse! Get up; it's a school day!" Lucas calls cheerily.

"Uuugghh, why are you so happy?" I moan, rolling over.

"How can I not be? I got laid last night by this girl called... Felicity or something. God, she was so flexible and -"

"SHUT UP LUCAS YOU ARSE!" I yell, covering my ears. At times I'm ashamed to be related to that prick.

"Get up then." He mutters, rubbing the back of his neck.

Narrowing my eyes, I point to my door. "Get out then."

"Aye aye cap'n." Lucas says in a pirate like voice, saluting me as he leaves my room, closing the door behind me.

I change into tight denim mini shorts, a clingy turquoise vest top, and my black wedges. I apply a light layer of lip gloss, mascara and eyeliner. Brushing out my long blonde hair, I pull it into a loose fishtail plait.

Not bothered to do anymore, I head downstairs to where Lucas is standing my the front door, impatiently, texting on his phone. "Finally! The Queen of Sheba has arrived!"

Rolling my eyes at his impatience, I follow him, climbing into the passenger seat.

"Why do you always go at each other's throats? It used to be amusing but now it's infuriatingly annoying." Lucas mutters.

"Woooaaah, big word brother." I tease, purposely ignoring what he said.

"Jesse. Seriously."

"Whatever." I mutter.

We sit in silence as we drive to Callan's house. Surprisingly, he doesn't annoy me. He simply says, "He's joining our school."

Suddenly, Lucas stiffens. Glancing in the rearview mirror, he asks, "You're sure?"

"Yes." Callan's eyes flicker towards me and I can see - worry, concern?- flicker in them. "Jesse, watch out for my cousin. He's someone you never want to be involved with. In any way."

I cock an eyebrow, immediately interested. "What's his name?"

"Maddox Kain."

"Is he hot?"

"This isn't some stupid joke Jesse! Can you, for once, just listen to me? I guess to girls, he is hot. But don't be fooled by his I'm-tough-and-hot-and-I-know-it exterior, okay? He's dangerous. Very dangerous."

Heart pounding loud and fast in my chest, I meet Callan's eyes and see he's truly serious. Slowly, I nod. "Okay Callan, I'll keep away from Maddox."

Lucas and Callan let out relieved breaths. "Good." Lucas says, and Callan nods, looking out the window.

"Thanks." Callan mutters softly.

"Uh... yeah, no problem." I reply, frowning at the window in confusion.

When we arrive at school, Raiden is waiting. "OMG, have you seen the new ho-" Raiden swiftly shuts up as he glances behind me, seeing Lucas and Callan.

"-bbit?" I add quickly, sensing his worry.

"Yes! He stole my shoe laces!" Raiden cries dramatically, throwing me a grateful look.

I gasp. "Not the shoe laces!"

"Yes the shoe laces!"

"We must go at once and retreat them." I grab Raiden's arm and we leg it inside.

"Spill bitch." I hiss at him.

"It was amazing! He was so sweet and he said he liked me and wanted to go out again!" Raiden squeaks, as quietly as possible in my ear.

"Yay!" I shout, throwing my arms around him. "Tell me more!"

I listen as Raiden recalls every second of the date. "And he kissed me goodnight. It was so soft and amazing! Then he texted me." Raiden sighs dreamily, and a wide grin spreads across my face. I'd never seen Raiden this happy before. And since he's happy, I am. Cheesy but true.

The bell rings, high pitched and annoying in general, making all of us jump ten feet in the air. Metaphorically, of course.

"See you at break Jesse." Raiden says.

"Bye." I wave to him and head to English.

Suddenly I crash into a rock solid body and stumble backwards. Just as I'm about to fall on my arse, a hand reaches out and grabs me, pulling me towards them. "Thanks." I say gratefully, looking up and staring at the guy.

Jesus wept on a monkey. He was hot. Like, seriously HOT. And God like. He was tall and broad, with close cropped jet black hair, cold steely grey eyes, and tanned skin. His muscles bulged through his shirt, as if the shirt would rip off of him at any second.

"So, what's your name?" He asks, smirking as I continue to check him out whilst he checks me out.

"Jesse Rain. You?" I reply.

"Maddox Kain." His smirk grows wider as I freeze, eyes widening as I realise just exactly who he is. "Heard of me, eh?"

"Y-y-yeah." I stutter. "I've got to go to English. Bye!" Pulling myself out of his grip, I tear down the corridor as if I'm walking on coal.

"I'll see you around, Jesse." He calls arrogantly at my disappearing back.

Oh shit.
