We’ll just have to wait and see. Anyway, here’s the next chapter!

Jaden’s POV

Claire and I went back to our seats. I sat down next to Alexis and Claire fell down next to Jesse. When I was sitting down, Alexis slid closer to me and wrapped her arms through mine and hung onto my arm. Her hands grabbed mine and locking our fingers together, her other hand lying on the top of mine. I looked down at her confused but she didn’t look back up at me, her gaze was focused on something else. I looked up and Claire was looking at us closely.

I could practically see the little hamster a running on its wheel.

“Great job, mates,” Jim said to us. I smiled at Jim.

“Thanks Jim. I think now it’s your turn,” I said. Jim laughed and shook his head.

“Thanks, but no thanks,” Jim said, smiling.

“I really want to go up and sing,” Sam said, pouting. Joni turned back around in the booth; she was sitting on her knees talking to Jake and his friends who were in the booth behind her. Joni looked at Sam.

“Then go and sing; it’s not that hard,” Joni said. Sam glared at her.

“You know I don’t like to sing by myself; come and sing with me!” Sam pleaded. Joni shook her head.

“I don’t sing,” Joni explained. Sam pouted and curled up closer to Joni.

“Joni,” Sam began.

“Oh no you don’t,” Joni said, trying to get away from Sam and failing quite miserably I might add.

“Please come and sing with me Joni, please!” Sam cried, giving Joni her best puppy dog eyes. Seriously, I don’t think even May would be able to tell Sam no with that look.

“No,” Joni said seriously.

“Damn!” Brad and I both yelled. Sam glared at us.

“Hey, if she can tell you no when you give her that look, dude, you’re losing your touch,” Brad said. Sam gasped and grabbed Joni firmly on the shoulders. She then started shaking her furiously.

“Come sing with me you bitch! COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!!!!!!” Sam cried.

“Fine! Just stop shaking me!” Joni yelled.

“Deal,” Sam said, dropping Joni like last week’s shoes. Joni shook her head and sat up. She looked at Kaite. Kaite was curled up under Danny’s arm, her head resting on his shoulder. I’ll admit they looked extremely cute together.

“If I have to sing, you have to sing, too, Kaite,” Joni said. Kaite stared at Joni with huge eyes.

“No, thank you, but I don’t sing,” Kaite answered quickly. Joni rolled her eyes.

“I’ve heard you sing before, Kaite, and you have an awesome voice! Come on; let’s go rock out that stage!” Sam piped in. Kaite shook her head vigorously.

“No, thank you,” Kaite said again. Sam continued to pout at Kaite. Joni just stood up and grabbed Kaite’s wrist.

“No arguing, you are coming,” Joni said as she yanked Kaite out of her spot. Kaite tried to pull herself free but somehow couldn’t get free.

“Let me go, Joni!” Kaite yelled. Joni ignored her and looked at Sam.

“Come on,” Joni said. Sam smiled and jumped up, following an annoyed Joni and a freaked out Kaite. Kaite shot a frantic look back at us.

“Danny!” Kaite yelled, reaching back toward us.

“I wouldn’t if I were you,” I said as Danny made a move to stand up. Danny looked at me confused.

“Wouldn’t what?” Danny asked.

“Try and stop Sam, do you really want to go up against her when she really wants something?” I asked, looking at him. Danny looked at me, then at Sam, Joni, and Kaite, who was still trying to get away I might add. Danny sat back down.

“Umm, no,” Danny said.

“Smart choice,” Brad said. “Last time I tried to stop Sam from getting what she wanted, I ended up with a hernia,” Brad said. I looked at Brad like was a moron.

“Hey, you usually look at me like that!” Mark said, pointing at me. I would have turned the look to him but I think Brad’s the bigger moron…right now.

“Grandpa had the hernia you moron! You just ended up with a broken arm and dislocated shoulder!” I said. Everyone looked at us surprised. Brad nodded.

“Oh yeah, that’s where I heard that word!” Brad said. Chelsea and I both smacked ourselves on the forehead. She looked up at him.

“You’re lucky you’re cute,” Chelsea said. Oh my God, she speaks! Brad smiled at her.

“Cute, am I?” Brad said with a wriggle of his eyebrows.

“Umm, not so much anymore,” Chelsea said. Brad’s face fell.

“Oh, now I’m devastated,” Brad said with a dramatic gesture. Chelsea smacked him lightly on the chest.

“They’re going to sing now,” Syrus said. We all turned to see Joni, Sam, and Kaite standing on the stage. Kaite wasn’t running but that was probably because she couldn’t move.

“I’ll go get her off that stage, Jaden, I swear to God I will,” Danny whispered. I looked at him.

“Then you’d have to deal with Sam. Do you want to end up like Brad?” I asked. Danny looked at Kaite.

“She’s worth it,” Danny whispered. Morgan looked at him.

“Okay, group ‘aww’ on three! One…two…three,” Morgan counted, shooting up her fingers as she did.

“Awwww!” everyone said in unison. Danny shot Morgan a dirty look and then looked back at the stage as the song began.

Sam sang the first verse.

They
Say
They don't
Trust
You
Me
We
Us
So we'll
fall
If we
must
Cause it's you,
me
And it's all about
It's all about

((A/N: Going on during the verse))

Kaite tried to hide herself behind Joni but Joni side stepped her and forced her back into the center of the stage. When the chorus came, everyone but Kaite started singing it.

It's all about us (all about us)
((Sam spun around so her back is to the audience))
((Joni pulled Kaite so the three of them formed a circle in the middle of the stage))
((Sam started doing twirling her fist around and stomping her foot in rhythm with “About Us”))
((Joni joined in but Kaite just stood there))
It's all about
All about us (all about us)
There's a thing that they can't touch
'Cause ya know (ohhh ohhh)
It's all about us (all about us)
It's all about
All about us
All about us
We'll run away if we must
((Sam spun around and ran away toward the edge of the stage; Joni followed. Kaite stood there))
'Cause ya know (ohhh ohhh)
It's all about us (It's all about us)
It's all about love (It's all about us)
In you I can trust (It's all about us)
It's all about us

Toward the end of the chorus, Sam tried to get Kaite to step up and sing the next verse. Kaite shook her head quickly, looking panicked. Sam kept trying but Kaite kept refusing. When the verse came up, Joni jumped forward and began to sing the second verse.

If
they
hurt
you
They
hurt
me
too
So
we'll
rise
up
Won't
stop
And it's all about
It's all about

It's all about us (all about us)
((Joni spun around so her back is to the audience))
((Sam ran to Joni, Kaite followed slowly. The three of them formed a circle in the middle of the stage))
((Sam and Joni started doing twirling her fist around and stomping her foot in rhythm with “About Us”))
It's all about
All about us (all about us)
There's a thing that they can't touch
'Cause ya know (ohhh ohhh)
It's all about us (all about us)
It's all about
((Kaite started doing what Sam and Joni were, slowly and hesitantly))
All about us
All about us
We'll run away if we must
((Joni and Sam spun around and ran away toward the edge of the stage; Kaite followed slowly))
'Cause ya know (ohhh ohhh)
It's all about us (It's all about us)
It's all about love (It's all about us)
In you I can trust (It's all about us)
It's all about us

Just like last time, Sam tried to get Kaite to go up and sing. This time though, Kaite took a hesitant step forward so she was standing in the middle of the spot light. As the Kaite began to sing, she kept her gaze locked on the floor.

They don't know
They can't see
((Kaite slowly looked up at the audience))
Who we are
Fear is the enemy
((Kaite gets confidant and starts getting into the song))
Hold on tight
Hold on to me
'Cause tonight((Kaite spun around and the three of them did what they have been doing))
It's all about
All about us
There's a thing that they can't touch
'Cause ya know (ohhh ohhh)
It's all about us (all about us)
It's all about, all about us (all about us)
There's a thing that they can't touch
'Cause ya know (ohhh ohhh)
It's all about us (all about us)
It's all about, all about us (all about us)
We'll run away if we must
((Kaite ran away to the edge with Sam and Joni))
'Cause ya know (ohhh ohhh)

It's all about us

It's all about us (It's all about us)
It's all about love (It's all about us)
In you I can trust (It's all about us)

It's all about us

It’s all about us. (1A)

When the song ended, the club was clapping. Not surprising, it was a really good performance. Sam was bowing and laughing; Joni was waving and smiling. Kaite was smiling hugely and waving, too. She laughed quickly before putting her mic back on the stand and jumping off of the stage. Sam and Joni followed her. They all quickly fell back into their seats, Danny tucking his arm tightly around Kaite and hugging her to his side; he was smiling like a real idiot, like he was proud of Kaite for doing what she just did. He is, I know. Stop calling me an idiot!

“Hey, you’re a great singer!” Jake said. He was leaning behind Joni with his arms folded behind her head. Kaite smiled up at him, not at all timidly.

“Thanks. Who are you?” Kaite asked. Jake smiled at her and extended his hand toward her. Kaite took it and shook it.

“I’m Jake, Joni’s older twin brother (2),” Jake introduced himself for the first time. Kaite nodded and withdrew her hand from Jake’s. “So, I was just wondering, you want to be in my band?” Jake asked Kaite. She stared at him with wide eyes.

“Me?” Kaite gasped. Jake nodded.

“Yeah, you’re awesome. I think you’d be perfect for our lead singer,” Jake rambled. Kaite swallowed.

“Lead?” Kaite whispered. You could practically see her shell reforming around her. Sam and Joni smiled at her.

“Come on, Kaite! You’ll rock out their garage!” Sam said, smiling at Jake when he shot her a dirty look. Joni giggled and nodded. Kaite smiled and looked between the two of them before looking back at Jake.

“Sure, why not,” Kaite said. Jake beamed at her.

“Awesome! I’ll get you a copy of the songs and rehearsal times and give them to Joni to give to you,” Jake said. Kaite nodded.

“Sounds like a plan,” Kaite said. Jake smiled at her again before dropping back into his seat and talking quietly to his band members. Danny looked down at Kaite, uncertainty cloaking his dark blue eyes.

“Kaite, are you sure?” Danny asked her. Kaite looked up and smiled at Danny reassuringly.

“Yeah, I’m sure,” Kaite said. Danny smiled at her and kissed her on the forehead, causing her to blush. Everyone laughed lightly at her.

“Can I ask you a question, Danny?” Chazz asked. Danny looked at Chazz confused.

“Do I really have much of a choice?” Danny asked.

“No,” Blair said. Chazz shot her a dirty look before looking back at Danny.

“You’re dating Kaite, correct?” Chazz questioned. Sam looked at Chazz like he was a moron.

“Nooo, they just suddenly telepathically broke up in the last two seconds,” Sam said sarcastically. Chazz looked at her.

“Is your name Danny?” Chazz asked.

“Not unless someone changed it telepathically in the last two seconds,” Sam said. Chazz glared at her.

“What’s your question, Rich Boy(3)? You’re getting annoying,” Danny said. Chazz looked back at him.

“If you’re dating Kaite, then why did you kiss Claire when you first saw her?” Chazz asked. The gang looked at Danny, even Sam and Joni. Apparently, that question was burning in all of their minds.

“What?” Danny asked.

“Why did you kiss…,” Chazz began to ask again but Danny cut him off by waving his hand around.

“Don’t repeat the question you moron, I know what you were asking!” Danny said. Chazz just looked at him.

“Then why did you?” Bastion asked. Claire, who was leaning back against Danny’s right side, looked over at Bastion.

“Danny always does that,” Claire said. Everyone looked at each other.

“Umm, no he doesn’t,” Syrus said. Claire rolled her eyes.

“Listen, squirt, what Claire meant is that I used to do it all the time when she still lived here. After a long time of not seeing each other, I’d always kiss them,” Danny said. Everyone looked confused.

“Them?” Jim questioned. Danny nodded.

“Well, yeah, her and Morgan. Hell, I’d still be kissing Morgan like that if she didn’t have a boyfriend who could knock me out,” Danny said. Mark looked at Danny in shock.

“You think I could knock you out?” Mark asked. Danny nodded.

“Well, sure, with those huge muscles you sure as hell could,” Danny said. Mark looked at his arm; he flexed.

“Yeah, well, I do pump a little iron,” Mark said with the slightest hint of being smug. Morgan rolled her eyes.

“Oh, don’t go and get all vain on me now baby. I may have to leave you,” Morgan said. She was only teasing of course, but Mark still freaked out.

“Gah! I’m sorry!” Mark said, throwing his arms around Morgan, hugging her. It was silent for a few minutes until Mark spoke up, “What does ‘vain’ mean?” We all sighed. Claire smiled at Morgan.

“A real keeper,” Claire said. Danny laughed and nodded.

“I told you you’d like him when you finally met him,” Danny said. Claire nodded. Morgan looked at him confused.

“When did you tell her that?” Morgan asked. Danny’s eyes grew wide, like he just walked himself into a trap.

“Smooth, genius,” Claire muttered, looking down at her book. Why she has a book with her, I do not know.

“Danny,” I said in a low, no-nonsense tone. Danny smiled at me.

“Okay, I confess. I knew she was coming,” Danny confessed, throwing his hands up. Morgan and I stared at him in shock.

“You? For how long!?” Morgan demanded. Danny shrugged.

“Awhile,” Danny said.

“You looked so surprised when you realized it was Claire hugging you,” I noted. Danny smirked.

“I’m a good actor,” Danny said smugly. I rolled my eyes and smacked him. Danny held up his hands in his own defense. “Hey, don’t abuse me. I’m not the only who knew she was coming,” Danny said. Morgan rolled her eyes.

“Well, of course Lauren knew, Danny,” Morgan said. Danny glared at her.

“I meant someone else, one of us, Morgan,” Danny said. Brad looked at him.

“Who knew? Obviously none of you guys knew,” Brad said, looking pointedly at Bastion, Aster, and the others. They shook their heads.

“This is the first time I ever met Claire,” Hassleberry explained. Blair nodded.

“Yeah, I never knew who she was before today,” Blair explained. Everyone else murmured their own comments.

“Then who knew?” Chelsea asked. Danny placed his index finger on his chin.

“Some guy Claire was getting really chummy with. She once accidently added him to our phone conversation, or she said it was an accident, and we talked,” Danny explained. Chazz rolled his eyes.

“Oh yes, that’s so informative,” Chazz said sarcastically. Blair just smacked him out of habit; Chazz didn’t even waste any energy on glaring at her, quite a shocking move on his part. Danny glared at Chazz though.

“Stuff it, Rich boy,” Danny spat. Chazz just glared at Danny.

“What was the guy’s name, Danny?” Bastion asked. Danny placed his finger back to his chin and looked up at the ceiling as he tried to recall the other guy’s name. As Danny did this, Jesse picked up his drink and looked away from Danny.

“Claire only said his name a few times and he only said his name once I think…it starts with a ‘J’, I know that for sure. Jared…no, Jason? No, that’s not it…Jim? No, no, no, not the right voice…hmmm…Jensen…that’s not it either!” Danny was getting very frustrated, even a blind hobo could see that. Suddenly, Danny punched his hand on top of his other hand. “Jesse! That was it!” We all whipped our heads in Jesse’s direction. Jesse suddenly became very interested in the party of all guys across the club.

“You knew?” I demanded. Jesse looked at me.

“Knew what?” Jesse asked innocently. I glared at him. Jesse laughed nervously. “Okay, that didn’t work,” Jesse said.

“Why did you know?” Axel asked. Jesse set his drink down.

“She told me because she wanted to make sure Jaden was going to actually come home for the break,” Jesse explained. I looked at him confused.

“Why wouldn’t I come home for the break?” I asked confused. Jesse looked at me.

“She didn’t want you to go to Alexis’ for the holiday when she was coming to visit,” Jesse answered. I nodded.

“Ah, good move on her part,” I said. Jesse nodded.

“Did you guys plan on going home for the break, Lexi?” Atticus asked. Alexis and I both shook our heads.

“We both intended to come back here for the break,” Alexis said. Atticus nodded. Everyone kind of dropped the conservation after that. Alexis loosened her hold on my arm and relaxed slightly. Something really was up with her lately; she has never been this clingy before. Not that I mind, it’s just…different…odd.

“Who’s going up next?” Chelsea asked. We all looked at her. She was sitting next to Brad looking rather comfy.

“No clue,” Jim answered. Mark looked at me; he had his arm behind Morgan’s head and over her shoulders.

“Why don’t you go up again, Jay?” Mark asked. I looked at him.

“By myself?” I asked. Mark shook his head.

“Nah, why don’t you go and sing with Alexis?” Mark asked. I looked down at Alexis. She was looking at Mark confused.

“Sing?” Alexis asked. Mark nodded.

“Yeah, come on. Go and sing,” Mark said.

“Yeah, go and sing,” Atticus encouraged with a big smile. Alexis frowned. I laughed and stood up, pulling Alexis with me. We wormed our way out of the booth and toward the machine.

“We’re actually going to sing?” Alexis asked me. I smiled at her.

“Yeah, that’s not a problem is it?” I asked. Alexis shook her head. I laughed and hugged her to my side as we looked at the song list.

Narrative POV

“Oh, ho ho! This should be awesome! Does anyone see Brook anywhere?” Morgan asked as she frantically looked around the club for the blonde haired slut. Claire tensed and glared around the club

“No, I don’t,” Claire said icily. Everyone looked at her confused, even Danny and Morgan.

“Oookay, why do you want her here anyway Morgan?” Syrus asked. Morgan smiled at him.

“To piss her off, duh!” Morgan said, smiling. Everyone looked confused. Mark explained.

“Brook thinks she loves Jaden and if she sees him and Alexis singing on stage, then she would get super jealous and therefore, pissed,” Mark explained. Everyone nodded.

“Dude, I would totally love to see that,” Danny said, smiling hugely. Morgan nodded enthusiastically.

“Me, too,” Morgan said. Claire narrowed her eyes at the table.

“I could do without a visit from the whore, thanks,” Claire muttered quietly. Jesse was the only one who heard her. He leaned down so she could be the only one to hear him.

“Did Brook do something worse than what Danny and Morgan know?” Jesse asked. Claire looked up at him.

“They know, they just forgot,” Claire answered. Jesse’s eyebrows pulled together in confusion.

“What did she do?” Jesse asked. Claire shook her head. She placed one hand on Jesse’s thigh and patted it lightly.

“I’ll tell you later,” Claire said. Jesse nodded and sat back up. Claire’s hand remained on his thigh.

“Oh, it looks like they found a song,” Kaite said. Everyone looked at the stage. Jaden and Alexis were standing on the stage. The manager was handing each of them a mic headset.

“Why do they get headsets?” Hassleberry asked. Joni shrugged.

“I dunno; I guess their song needs it or something,” Joni said. Everyone looked confused but couldn’t voice another question as the lights in the club dimmed and the first notes to Jaden and Alexis’ song began.

((A/N: Alexis singing is italic, Jaden singing is bold, and both of them singing is both))
((A/N: They follow the instructions the dance says; just imagine it!))

Take my hand,
Take a breath,
Pull me close,
And take one step,
Keep your eyes locked on mine
((Jaden was looking at their feet but Alexis placed her finger under his chin and lifted his head up))

Jaden and Alexis were nose to nose at the end of the song, Jaden smiling like a fool and Alexis smiling. Claire gasped and spun around, grabbing Morgan’s bag that was sitting on the table.

“Claire?” Morgan said. Claire ignored her and dug through Morgan’s bag until she found Morgan’s digital camera. Once she found it, she threw Morgan’s bag back at her and quickly turned on the camera. Claire then aimed the camera at Jaden and Alexis and snapped a picture as soon as Jaden captured Alexis’ lips in his own.

The club began to hoop and holler, some guys whistling. The gang was laughing and doing the same. When Jaden pulled back, Alexis was a deep scarlet. He just laughed and kissed her on the forehead briefly. Claire snapped a picture of that too.

“Got cha!” Claire smiled triumphantly. Morgan jerked forward and began to shake her hand frantically at Claire.

“Gimme, Gimme! I wanna see!” Morgan said. Claire laughed and handed Morgan her camera. Everyone leaned in as Morgan clicked into the picture review.

The first picture was Jaden holding Alexis tightly with his eyes closed and his lips on her forehead. Alexis and her eyes closed contently. Morgan went back to see the first picture. This one was different. Jaden had Alexis bent back slightly so she was in a slight dip and his lips were on hers. Both of their eyes were closed. Alexis had her hands on Jaden’s cheeks, holding his face to hers.

“Awww, so cute!” Sam gushed as she snatched the camera from Morgan. She looked up at Claire. Claire was talking with Jesse quietly. Jesse was frowning slightly but Claire was looking impassive. “Claire, where did you learn to take pictures like this?” Sam asked. Claire turned and smiled at Sam.

“My mom’s a professional photographer, so she’s taught me a thing or two,” Claire explained. Sam nodded and continued to flip between the two pictures.

“Yet she won’t get you your own camera,” Morgan said. Claire rolled her eyes.

“Don’t get me started,” Claire said.

xXx

Jaden’s POV

“Get you started on what?” I asked as Alexis and I slid back into our seats. Claire waved her hand in the air.

“Mom, me, digital camera,” Claire explained briefly. I nodded.

“Ah, yes, the age old struggle,” I teased. Claire’s rebuttal was a quick flash of her tongue in my direction.

“Why are you guys talking about digital cameras anyway?” Alexis asked. Sam leaned forward with Morgan’s digital camera in hand.

“These pictures that Claire just took on Morgan’s camera,” Sam explained. Alexis looked confused. She took the camera and turned it around to look at the view screen. I looked down at the camera. The first picture was me kissing Alexis’ forehead and then Alexis went back and the picture was me kissing Alexis on the lips.

“Whoa,” I said. Alexis nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, I was hoping for blackmail material but I got stuck with that, bummer,” Claire said with a shrug. I rolled my eyes but didn’t look away from the camera. Alexis turned off the camera and handed it back to Morgan. I noticed out of the corner of my eye Claire whispering Jesse something before standing up and disappearing down the restroom hall. Sam was talking with Joni and when she looked to where Claire was sitting, probably to ask her something, and Claire wasn’t there.

“Where is Claire?” Sam asked. Jesse and I both jerked out thumbs in the direction of the bathrooms.

“Bathroom,” we both said at the same time and then froze. Everyone stared at us. Chazz groaned.

“Not another set of freaks,” Chazz grumbled. This earned him a swift elbow jab from Blair. Jesse and I smiled at each other.

“Jaden! I’m so glad to see you back in town for your Christmas Break!” an all too familiar voice said. I flinched and Morgan growled. Danny and everyone else besides Jesse, Jim, and Axel tensed. We all looked up to see Brook standing at the edge of our table, smiling at us. More at me…a rather creepy smile, too. Brook’s bleach blonde hair was pulled into a high pony tail, showing off her real diamond earrings. Her bright blue eyes were completely on me. The matching diamond necklace was low enough so it stopped just before her cleavage just so people would be drawn to stare at it. Brook was wearing a tight, V-neck blouse and a tight, very short denim mini-skirt. She was in very tall high-heels.

I forced a smile.

“Hey, Brook,” I said through slightly gritted teeth. Brook continued to smile at me. Her eyes quickly darted around the group. As she did, Alexis moved closer to me, grabbing my hand and lacing our fingers together, wrapping her arm through mine to do so. When Brook looked back at me and she noticed Alexis, her eyes went flat, her smile vanished, and her nostrils flared slightly before she regained her composure. I resisted the urge to laugh and I could feel the smugness that radiated off of Morgan.

“Who are your new friends?” Brook asked, gesturing to Jesse, Axel, and Jim.

“I’m Jim,” Jim introduced, tipping his hat toward Brook but not doing anything else.

“Axel,” Axel said briefly. He obviously didn’t like Brook. Then again…Axel kind of had that persona around him for anyone.

“I’m Jesse,” Jesse introduced himself, smiling at Brook. He was just too nice. Brook blinked when she looked down at him.

“Are you Jaden’s twin brother? I never knew Jaden was a twin, though it makes sense,” Brook babbled. Jesse chuckled and shook his head.

“No, we’re not twins,” Jesse said. Brook sighed.

“Pity,” Brook muttered. Jesse turned his head so he could raise an eyebrow at me. I just jerked my shoulders up quickly.

“What do you want, Brook?” Morgan demanded. “We were having a very pleasant time without you here,” Morgan went on before Brook could say anything. Brook glared at her.

“I just saw Jaden over here and I decided come over and say hi,” Brook said, trying to be innocent.

“Jaden, of course,” Morgan snarled. Brook glared at her. Morgan glared back at Brook when she suddenly smiled. She folded her hands underneath her chin and looked at Brook. “Brook, did you see Jaden and Alexis’ song just now?” Morgan asked. Brook tensed.

“Maybe I did, what of it?” Brook asked. Morgan smiled.

“Let me guess, you saw how it ended?” Morgan asked. Brook hissed at Morgan; she hit a sore spot with Brook. I just rolled my eyes. I’ll never understand Brook, not that I really want to…

Brook looked away from Morgan and down at the booth, noticing the empty spot between Jesse and me were Claire was sitting. Brook smiled and pointed to the spot.

“Is that spot taken?” Brook asked with a flutter of her eyelashes. I opened my mouth to answer her when another voice spoke up.

“Yes, whore, it is,” Claire spat icily from behind Brook. Rage contorted on Brook’s face as she spun around to spit some nasty things at the person who just called her a whore when she realized it was Claire.

And not a very happy Claire at that.

Claire had her arms crossed firmly across her chest and she was glaring rather menacingly at Brook. Brook’s eyes grew wide when she realized who she was staring at.

“Claire!” Brook gasped. “Claire Sato?” Brook asked. Claire gave Brook a rather bone chilling smile.

“The one and only Claire Sato,” Claire said. Brook swallowed and backed closer to our table, her hands tightening around the edge.

“I thought you moved!” Brook yelled. Claire nodded.

“I did,” Claire answered.

“Then what are you doing back in Japan!?” Brook demanded. Claire looked at her.

“I’m here visiting friends you moron,” Claire spat. Brook flinched slightly before lunging forward with her hands balled into fists and glaring heatedly at Claire. Claire didn’t falter.

“Don’t insult me you bitch. I took Morgan down at the mini golf course and I sure as hell can bring you down here,” Brook threatened with a snarl. Claire looked up at Brook, as her high heels made her extremely tall. Claire didn’t look worried.

“Then try it, batch, and let’s see who takes down whom,” Claire said lightly. Brook wavered, stepping down off of her power pedestal. Claire leaned down a bit on one leg. Brook glared at her.

“If you’re here to try and win Jaden over, he’s taken,” Brook said. Everyone at the table seemed shocked and confused about this approach. Brook was just trying to win me over not three minutes ago! Alexis tensed slightly beside me. I squeezed her hand and rubbed the back of her hand with the pad of my thumb in a soothing manner. Claire didn’t seem surprised by Brook’s statement.

“I know that, skank. Maybe you should take that statement and put it on repeat in your itty-bitty mind until you remember it yourself,” Claire said. Brook’s eyes darted around the room for something else to say. Claire looked over her shoulder to where I assumed she felt eyes on her. I looked there as well. Sasha and Tasha were glaring at Claire. Gary, Brook’s current and longest boyfriend, was sitting with his friends laughing.

“Geez, I always thought Gary had higher standards,” Claire muttered. Brook whipped her hair and glared at Claire.

“What is that supposed to mean?” Brook demanded. Claire rolled her head lazily to look at Brook.

“I’m just saying I thought Gary looked for something more than spoiled goods,” Claire said emotionlessly. Everyone stared at Claire wide eyed as Brook’s jaw dropped. You could practically feel the way Claire just verbally slapped Brook.

“You bitch! What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Brook demanded. Claire looked at her like she was an idiot.

“It means exactly what it sounds like it means,” Claire elaborated. Brook ground her teeth together.

“I’m still a virgin, thank you very much,” Brook spat. Claire narrowed her eyes dangerously at Brook.

“So…am…I!” Claire snarled through her teeth. Brook took a step back, her arm coming up to protect her slightly. Morgan, Danny, and I all tensed up as Claire glared at Brook with all the hate she could muster, and that’s a lot of hate, trust me. Brook flicked her hair over her shoulder.

“Whatever,” Brook said. She took a long U around Claire and back to her table. Claire glared at her the entire time.

“Skank,” Sam muttered.

“Whore,” Morgan muttered not a second later.

“Slut,” Claire muttered just after Morgan. They all looked at each other and smiled. Claire sighed and looked back at Brook with an evil look in her eye.

“I just want to beat her up right now, but the manager might kick me out of the club,” Claire said.

“I’ll do it!” Morgan volunteered. She jumped up and quickly slid out of the booth. She stopped next to Claire when she looked up confused. Morgan placed her index finger over her lips and winked at Claire. “Mark’s cousin is the manager,” Morgan whispered. She then disappeared and walked over to Brook, picking up a pitcher of red pop that Brittany was taking to a table. She stopped just next to Brook. When Brook looked up to demand why Morgan was there, Morgan dumped the pitcher all over Brook, drenching her white blouse with the sticky red substance.

Brook’s shriek filled the club until it was drowned out by the club’s laughter.

“Don’t mess with Morgan!” Mark yelled. Morgan smiled at him and pointed at us.

“Or her friends!”
