Chapter: 21

Jasmine:

The bell rings and I dash out of class like my life depended on it. That was the longest class of my life!

Trust me I'm surprised that I made it alive; because Brett frustrated the hell out of me.

I've always wondered how he made it to his sophomore year anyways. I begin to speed walk to find Holly and Ben so we can finish the plan and get away from that greek faced idiot.

I walk out of the school since it's already three o'clock and stand in front of Holly's Honda Civic car

"Jas!" A familiar voice calls out to me

"Ugh" i groan. He found me

Wait a minute Brett doesn't have a girly voice; I turn around and find Holly and and Ben walking towards me.

"Hey" she says smiling. "Hi. Now tell me the plan before she starts stalking" I half scream

"Don't rush the merchandise" she says cockily, before unlocking her car and sitting down in the driver's seat;  earning a look from Ben and me

Ben and I both touch the passenger's seat at the front and we both giggle.

"You can sit there" he says and goes to the back seat of the car and Holly puts her key in the ignition and starts the car

"Well you could take down all the pictures of you and your mom or with your family" Holly says in a duh tone with her eyes fixed on the road

"Yea, before she stalks your mom or you" Ben says completing the sentence

"Oh yeah" I said scratching my french braids

"So let's get to work" Ben says. "Not exactly" I say in a low tone

"What do you mean by 'not exactly'?" Holly says curiously as she takes a left turn

"I mean I have to make some calls before we can start anything"

"Who do you have to call and why?" Ben asks

"I mean I have to call some of my dad's bodyguards, my personal bodyguards and a few news channels" I say

"Wow" Holly says facepalming

"Tell me about it. Being the only daughter of the senator is stress" I say tiredly as we pull up to Holly's house

We get out of the car and walk into the house then and kick my shoes off.

Holly walks into the kitchen while I get my phone and go to my Instagram account and start to delete every single thing linking me to my family; same thing for my Twitter, Snapchat, and Tumblr accounts.

Holly comes back with a bunch of snacks and she lies them on the table.

"You know me so well" I say smiling and grab a bag of cheese balls and open them like a hungry lioness.

**

The rest of the day goes in a blur but I am pleased to say that I got rid of every possible picture of me that can link to my secret identity status.

I admit it was a lot of work but the plus side was there was a lot of food and I found some cute pictures of me when I was younger.

Man I was cute!

After that I got a call from Ariel, she told me she's going to Minnisoda to go visit her grandmother for a while.

I'm really going to miss her tho; she was my first real friend. And more importantly, Holly's parents and brother are finally coming back from Los Angeles tomorrow

I smile and snuggle Admiral fuzzypants as I drift into sleep.

"Hey nerd" Brett says as he walks up to me and slings his big muscled arm over my shoulder

"Hello" I say sarcastically before remove his arm from my shoulder and begin to walk away

"I don't think I have to remind you that Art class is that way" he says pointing to the east side of the school

"Idiot" I sigh before going in the right direction. "You were homeschooled right?" Brett says as we begin to walk together

"Eh?" I ask

"I said 'you were homeschooled right?' " he says going a little slower this time. "yea, I was"

"Well why did you even come to real school anyways? I would have loved to be homeschooled if I was you" he says

"Well being homeschooled gets boring and real school is actually fun and exciting" I say smiling

"Not really; because all you get here is drama, teachers screaming at you if you don't do your homework, parents screaming at you if you don't get good grades, stress, haters, stress,  fake friends, unnecessary attention, you have to deal with annoying things like Assemblies, talent shows, stress, parties and did I mention stress?" He says when he runs out of fingers

"Yes. You've said stress about four to five times" I say rolling my eyes

"Well so far, you and Lela are actually the only ones disturbing my low-key life. But anything apart from that, highschool is cool" I say

"Wait did you just say that I'm one of the reasons why you don't like it here?"

"Kinda" I say looking down

"Shit. I'm so sorry Jas, I just wanted us to be friends" he says rubbing the back of his neck

Isn't that Seb's thing?

I stay quiet, observing his facial expressions and he kind of looks sincere. Maybe I should give him a chance

Meh what's the worst that could happen?

"Its okay if you don't want to tho" he says again

"Of course I'd love to be friends with you" I say smiling

This really feels weird

"Friends?" I say stretching out my hand for a shake

"Friends" he says taking it "with benefits" he continues with a smirk and I swat his arm for that and start laughing

Now it feel normal

"Hey bretty boo" The annoying voice of Lela says interrupting the moment while hugging Brett.

"Hey" Brett says in a bored tone when the pull away 

"Um could you come see me in the Janitor's closet?" She asks with a bitchy tone

"Uhh why?" He asks

She smirks, then leans in and whispers something into his ear with her eyes fixed on me and if looks could kill, I swear i'd be six foot under by now.

Brett smirks and then begins to follow her, leaving me alone in the hallway.

"Um bye Jas, we'll continue this later" he says before the walk into the Janitor's closet together.

Why did I say I want to be friends with him?!
