Bloody hands

Chapter 3.1: Preparation

Ryan (20 minutes earlier)

"Jack, I'm gonna go now!" I opened the door and left the apartment we rented a few weeks ago to be nearer to Selena's house.

"I thought it was my turn?" he called from the living room.
"No, idiot! You make sure that they don't notice that I'm on the list instead of Wendy!"
Jack recently hacked the school's computer system to change my birthdate to two months later, so I could go with them to this competition.
I closed the door and put my leather jacket on. I would have gladly taken my bike, but that would have drawn unnecessary attention to me. I ran to the home of my princess and climbed the cherry tree standing in the garden.

I hid in the tree branches when the lights in Selena's room turned on. She seemed angry, but I didn't know why. She pulled out her phone and called someone. She rolled around on the bed while talking and messed up her hair while doing so.

I was just thinking about how it would be to run my fingers through her hair when she mentioned me in her conversation.
"Only because of Ryan and Jack!" I sneaked closer to her window and tried to open it as silently as possible. She didn't even notice me in her rage. "Everyone gets to go! Then I have to sit in a classroom and die of boredom! Just because Alex has to play my MOM again!"
Who was Alex again? Oh yes, the counterpart of my girl, her annoying sister. We left her alone until now since she hasn't been in our way. Until now, that is...

I saw how Selena put the phone away and laid down on the bed. How I wanted to just go in there and console her, but I didn't think that would make things better. I was just about to jump off the tree when the devil herself opened the door to Selena's room.
"I didn't want to hurt you, I'm just worried about you, you know that. But seriously, with those two? Maybe I can call the principal and ask for you to be put in another group?"

Alex put her arm around what was mine which only made me angrier. She had to go, soon.
Maybe through a little accident?

Jack's POV

I was playing Assassin's Creed when the phone rang. Nobody had called me for quite some time except for maybe mom and dad when they got home from a trip. Which was rare.

This time, someone else was on the other end of the line.
"Hello, Jack here."
"Jack, get your ass over here and take the tools with you!"
"I love you too. Why?"

I grabbed my Jacket and the toolbox, that was standing next to the television. Ryan broke the Xbox during one of his tantrums after he rage-quit a game.
"Just get over here and don't ask stupid questions!" Ryan hung up and I ran down the stairs.

It was already pretty dark but I knew the way to the house of my angel like the back of my hand. I walked faster and stopped in Selena's garden. My brother jumped off the cherry tree and took the toolbox from me.
"Here I am. What now?" Ryan rolled his eyes.
"Now we're gonna dismantle something!" He ran ahead and I followed him. He opened the garage door with the crowbar and began working on a black Mustang.

"Give me the wrench!" he said from underneath the car.
"Which one?" There were at least a dozen in the box.
"Any of them?!"
My brother stuck his hand out from under the car and I gave him the next best wrench.
"Not this one!" I rolled my eyes and gave him another one.

It seemed like he took apart the whole car with the number of tools he needed. After an eternity, he got out from under the car and cleaned his hands on a rag.

"Okay, brother dear, when do you have the time to take care of Selena tomorrow?" asked my brother and grabbed the phone he probably stole from someone.
"Third lesson, we have gym." Ryan pushed some buttons on the phone and attached underneath the car.
"So, that's taken care of." I grabbed the toolbox and we ran away.

A/N: Poor Alex! Maybe we are going to be nice and let her live?

Today's question:

Who do you think is prettier, Alex or Selena?
