His Jinx 👾

Prologue

"Manuel, the manager wants you in his office." Jim a co-worker prompted Manuel.

"Mr. Jones? That's strange... On my way." He replied

Putting back the manual for the new set of hoverboards, Manuel headed for the manager's office. He knocked twice and waited for a response. I hope I don't get fired I need this job, he thought anxiously.

"Come in."

"Sir, you call-"Manuel started but stopped when he realized it wasn't Mr. Jones behind the desk. Dumfounded, he scratched his head staring bemused at Mr. Martins, the new owner, having inherited the store from his late father.

"Have a seat Manuel."Mr Martins said,"I have called you here for a special purpose." He continued rubbing his palms devilishly causing Manuel's hair to stand on edge.

"According to Jones here, you are the most trusted employee and you actually care for the continuity of this establishment. On that belief, I'm sure you are aware that we're encountering some financial rollercoasters and if something isn't done soon, we'll have to shut down before next month begins which would be bad for all of us. However being as smart as I am, I've come with a brilliant plan to help everyone." He paused for a breath. Manuel didn't like the sound of it, he shifted in his seat, noticing for the first time in the room, Mr. Jones.

“My late father has a fortune with this insurance company but they won't help us till we're damaged, so I need you to do some damage." He chuckled.

"But that is illegal sir," Manuel replied he wasn't a crook. "I'm sorry but you've got the wrong guy."

"It's  not illegal if you don't work here besides it'll be staged, something to convince the company enough." He pressed.

“But I do work here.” Manuel stressed.

“Oh I guess I forgot to tell you, YOU ARE FIRED.” He states unconcerned. Manuel struggled for words. “So it's either you pull this off or you're fired for good, plus no one has to know about this,  you'll still receive your wages and anything else you need to pull this off. Once it's done you'll receive a fat reward."

Manuel felt his blood boil as he packed up to leave the office temporarily forever. Why was fate against him like that, when things had finally started to pick up a pace, it all had to come crashing again. Ughh.

To the outside world Manuel was angry he had lost his job but inside he was angry for a whole different reason.

Ω~~~~~~~Ω

He stared at the wall intensely, worried how he was gonna pull off this crazy task, which was gonna be pretty hard considering his current position.

Manuel believed in honesty and wouldn't do anything to get him in serious trouble. If was detention he was fine but anything worse he'd gladly pass. He would have passed this too if he didn't actually need the money but his mama and sisters lives were on the line.

“Hey man.” his buddies on  his table tapped his shoulder roughly turning him to another side. “Look a new addition to the frils.”

Frils – a jock term for the frilly cheerleaders who just loved parting their legs. They sat on one table in the cafeteria and sure were they sassy.

Manuel turned to see a busty blonde with makeup caked on her face, her blouse barely held her breasts as the threatened to fall out. Guess that's the one and she fit just right.

“This one's mine.” Joey claimed eyeing the blonde and licking his lips.

“Let's see how she will be initiated this time.” Max one of the level headed jocks and Manuel's confider said.

Minutes later, Mona strutted into the cafeteria nose higher than 30°, with her minions Chloe and Kim on either side of her doing their job of making her seem glorious. The fril table silenced and she sat down leaving Kim and Chloe to find new seats. Mona was the Queen bee.

On the fril table a serious plan was  brewing and you could tell they were excited. To some it was an intiation to others it was a test of purity.

“That’s all you have to do” Mona said looking straight at the busty blonde. "Are you willing?”

The blonde nodded she was determined to do what it took.

Ω~~~~~~~~Ω

She stood with a concussion in disguise as trash as she approached the target.

“You can do this, make it look accidental.” She chanted over and over again. It had all been setup. Amy relax she said to herself.

A ball of paper wheezed passed her, that was her signal . The paper hit their target on the shoulder momentarily distracting her. Amy picked up her pace and bumped into their target tilting the lunch tray just in time to spill all over their target.

It was the jocks who started the teasing first, with a big, loud "whoa"  and a huge bass guffaw of laughter which was enough to draw the attention of the whole cafeteria.

"Eew, eew get away from me you jinx, before your infection spreads." Amy the busty blonde cried in a voice loud enough for the whole school to hear. As Amy scuttled away a piece of paper with the word JINX stuck to their target's back.

Their target tried to brush off particles of the concussion from her coat.

In an attempt to leave the scene she slipped and fell, bum first to the floor.

The frils stood up from their table Mona in the lead. As they neared the girl Mona looked at her disgustingly,  “ I  guess your luck never gets better.” dropped the gum wrapper on her which earned giggles from her fellow group members, then they left.

Max was the first to notice the scene and even though he was more level headed, he cared way too much about status quo to do anything to stop it and besides it was nothing unusual in the halls of  Raven.

And for once Manuel and Max weren't thinking similarly. For Manuel had been transported to a new  planet of hope. The only chance he had at getting his family back. But.... What if the frils were just being themselves and had just exaggerated their target's nature of luck.

She looked utterly disheveled. Hmm not bad though, she wore a long coat reaching her feet. All doubt was cleared as he watched her unsuccessfully try to stand, then out of frustration, crawled away.

There was no way that was normal. The frils were so right. And right now, a bit of jinx was all he needed. And back on that planet all he could see was her. She and no one else.
