Chapter 146 B F 4 L

Jasmine smiles to herself as she admires the locket on the end of a white silver chain that Scott had given her. She had given him a friendship bracelet that she had made but he had gone out and bought her a necklace, he said it was a friendship necklace. It had a silver locket on it and inside was engraved Beck and Chipmunk BF4L.

He couldn't wear his bracelet around his hand in school so he had put it on the end of a gold chain with a cross he always wears under his shirt and now she too had a special chain she could wear under her blouse as well.

She and her siblings went to his Easter Monday egg hunt and to her surprise he and her little brother Gavin A.K.A Gabe had a lot in common, and since everyone had always said that Gavin was a genius, she was now wondering if that meant Scott was a genius too.

She also went to his cousin Fabian's engagement party where she watched him and a few of his other cousins put on a jaw-dropping performance. The boy could dance, there was no doubt about that and with his guidance, she too was becoming a very good dancer and so was her dad but Scott wasn't her dad's dance teacher, one of his cousins was. She thought as her smile widen.

His next performance was going to be at the Mother's Day event his family was now planning and then the big double wedding coming up after that. His family was a busy one. She chuckles to herself. She finished putting her books in her bag and turn to leave and saw three girls standing inside the classroom blocking the door.

"Well if it isn't Scott's little pet." One of them said in a nasty tone. "Oh, we're going to enjoy messing up that pretty little face." Another one said. She was getting ready to defend herself against these bullies when two grade ten girls walk into the class behind them.

"Not on our watch you won't." One said folding her arms across her chest. "Walk away Ziva, this has nothing to do with you." The one she suspect was the leader of the group said looking over her shoulder at the other girls.

"Sorry, can't do that." The girl name Ziva said as she and the other girl push past them and stand on either side of her. "You see, this girl is my cousin's best friend which means she is under our protection, so if you want to get to her you'll have to go through us, which I guarantee won't end well for any of you but you're welcome to try." She said putting her bag on the desk with a wicked smirk.

"Whatever bitch." The leader of the bullies said as she turns to leave. "Wise choice." Ziva's friend said with a smile. "This ain't over bitch." The girl said looking at her. "If you want to go into summer with all your bones intact, I would seriously reconsider," Ziva said in a serious tone as the bullies left the room.

"You okay squirt?" Ziva asks. "Yes thank you." "You're one of us now, and we look out for our own," Ziva adds. "Looks like she was getting ready to take those bitches and maybe she could too." The other girl laughs. "Maybe, but my cuz asks me to look out for her and that's what I'm going to do, so she doesn't have to. Come on squirt, Scott will be finished with his class soon, you can wait with us." Ziva said leading the way out of the classroom like her personal bodyguard.

Half an hour later Scott walks towards Jasmine who was sitting next to Ziva and her friend. "Hi guys." He greets them. 'Hi," They all replied in unison. "A few bitches tried to mess with your friend here but we took care of them," Ziva said getting up.

"Thanks, cuz, I knew I made the right choice" "And I choose half the school population to look out for her so don't worry," Ziva said with a smile. "Bye squirt." She adds as she and her friend walks away. "Hey, she's not a squirt," Scott said with a pout.

"You don't mind me calling you squirt, do you, squirt?" She asks looking at Jasmine. "Nope, not at all," Jasmine said swallowing hard. "See cuz, she doesn't mind, see you guys later." She laughs.

"Sure you don't mind?" Scott asks. "Well in a way I do but I won't be telling her that." Jasmine laugh. "Smart girl, so, care to tell me why you send a thousand dollars credit to my phone this morning?" Scott asks. "To say thanks for all the time you spend on your phone helping me study, got 98% on the test I took by the way."

"I'm happy for you but you do know I wasn't looking to be rewarded for that, right?" "Yes but I wanted to, are you mad?" jasmine asks biting the inside of her mouth. "Hell yes I'm mad, don't ever do that again, I don't need any credit, I'm fine, don't send me any more credit." He said in a stern tone.

Jasmine's eyes widen in shock at his outburst and tears form in her eyes as she turns away from him. "I'm sor….." "Syke!" He laughs hugging her but she pushed him away and punched his shoulder. "Scott!" "Ouch." He laughs rubbing his arm. "So you're not mad?" She asks again. "Of course, I'm not mad, thank you for the token of appreciation Chipmunk, now let's eat, I'm starving." He said rubbing his belly as they walk towards the lunch area.
