A twist of fate

Jayce Kingly

"This is Brandy," Keith motioned to where I'm standing. "Brandy, that's Jayce." He looked back at Jayce who looked like he couldn't care less. "From history class," there was a hint in his voice.Jayce raised his eyebrows," And there's nothing else she could do?" A smirk appeared on Keith's face, "You of all people should know." If I'm correct, I detect sarcasm from that statement. Jayce crossed his arm over his chest, "what are mother's for,huh?" He let out a fake laugh. Tension crept in all around us.

What is happening? The rivalry between the two of them is obvious at this point but what does any of this have to do with Mrs. Ebony? Or either of their mothers?

I have no idea.

The air thickened with tension between the two male. Keith's hands tightened into fists. I looked over at Jayce and sure enough, his muscles are all tensed too. Oh shit! I got to do something. I cleared my throat.

"Hey....."

Hey?

Really?

Argh!!!!!!!

That was for Jayce. His head snapped down at me. Give it a full minute, and his muscles started to relax. Is he? No way. I couldn't believe my eyes. Is he responding to my 'hey'? My eyes widened at the thought. If so, then I'm about to witness a miracle. He locked eyes with me.

"Hey"

It was so low a whisper I almost couldn't hear it.

I smiled. It was the kind of smile a kid gives when you give them what they want. What? That was the only thing I felt appropriate to do. Otherwise I would have hugged him to death or worse, pinch his cheeks like I do my kid brother.

What happened next was even more unbelievable.

The corner of his lip kind of twitched. I swear he just smiled or maybe he was fighting it back. Either way, it's fine by me.

He just noticed me? Okayyyyyyy

I heard someone clear their throat. Right. Someone else is here. Oops. I blinked and looked beside me. "After you," Keith motioned towards the door. I smiled and stepped forward, into the entrance. I moved past Jayce, who's still by the door. I could feel his eyes boring down on me from behind me.

Goosebumps

What is it about him that was so attractive ? It definitely wasn't his first impression . I don't know what it was but it had to be something to do with chemistry.....because I was having difficulty working it out .

Is it how calm he was or that he couldn't care less about his surrounding? This guy is totally superhero material. He's like a mini superman. Nothing gets to him.

Seriously

I glanced back over my shoulder just in time to catch him stare at me. He looks gorgeous from a far as well as up close. He was just irresistible. Urgh! I had to force myself to avert my eyes from him.

Focus, Brandy. Focus.

I turned my head back to where it is suppose to be, and caught Keith glancing down at me. What is it about me that got him tongue-tied every time ? He was constantly glancing at me. I don't mean to be rude but seriously, his the freaking liaison officer. I won't risk my scholarship for a stupid fling with a staff.

Never.
