Chapter 4

Zane

"I don't think we should" The tall, handsome, annoying Alex Baker said as he stood up.

"Oooh! Mais pourquoi?" Zane questioned him out loud. The Icelandic was no fun. The only thing he probably did all day was read books about engineering...

... which definately went against his ways of life.

"Because it's improper." Alex answered stiffly. "And I'm pretty sure Augusta here knows that as well." He looked at Augusta as he said the words and Zane could swear it made her flinch.

"Well..." she seemed to gulp. "it's fine... I can just spin the thing again..."

What was in her eyes? Of course, disappointment. If any girl in the room had a crush on the hard as stone Alex, it would be her.

"But no! Of course not! It would ruin all the fun!" Jack shouted.

Zane couldn't help but grin. Normally he was against Brits but this one felt like his ultimate soulmate. How come they always thought the same thing?

Alex sighs. "Fine. But do I have to spin the bottle afterwards?"

A couple of 'yes' and a couple of 'no's rang throughout the crowd. Zane voted for yes because... why not?

Alex lets out another heavy sigh as he approaches a very nervous Augusta.

Her lips quivered nervously as he got closer... closer... and then...

The kiss happened. 

It was quick, but soft. Zane watched as Augusta's eyes fly open, full with excitement and happiness. On the other hand though, Alex kept his eyes shut, as if trying to push her away.

RUDE. Zane thought.

Especially since Augusta seemed so disappointed about it. She wasn't all that bad. Her wavy black hair shined in the artificial light along with her almond brown eyes. Her rich caramel skin glowed as well.

Wait. Why was he thinking this?

To be totally honest, Zane wasn't much of a moral figure either. Ever since his mom and his brother left him behind with his alcoholic dad, he ceased to see the good in people. He was the player of the town, the rebel. He had destroyed a bunch of things  back in Paris, whenever there were manifestations  in town.

And now him? Going for a pure honest girl like Augusta? That was just unfair.

"Well who's spinning now?" Lana asked to the crowd.

"Oooh, may I?" The redhead Zane recognized as Maria volunteered.

Jackson shrugged. "Go for it. Nobody else seems willing."

She squealed as she tossed the bottle letting it spin and spin like crazy. It felt like the spins would never end.

But when it did, the results were ambiguous.

They were right between him and Alex.

THE Alex who had kissed somebody about a minute ago.

"Umm... I guess it's your choice then." Jack concluded.

Zane licked his lip. If he seriously lost against the not-so-hot guy right next to him...

"I have an idea." she grinned. Then, bending down, her warm lips met Zanes. YES! he thought. Of course he was hotter than Alex. RIiiiight?

But then, as she pulled away, she also kissed Alex, surprising everyone. Augusta even seemed like she was in a verge of tears. The whole crowd watched as the two embraced each other until Alex pulled away.

"What are you doing? You already kissed Zane."

"Well... You both got a kiss..." Maria murmured.

The crowd started to talk amongst themselves. "OKAY! That's enough!" Jack concluded as he clapped his hands. "Maybe it's best if we... don't do this game anymore."

"I agree." Lana sighed. "Everybody dismissed."

Before he left, Zane could swear he heard Augusta crying quietly to herself as well as Zera cursing Lana under her breath. 

Oh la la. This would be quite a trip.
