Chapter 51: Introducing Johnny Brice
I laughed. "Really? OK, well.... congratulations," I replied sarcastically, whilst rolling my eyes.
She laughed. "I’m serious. There’s a new guy started today, and he is hot!" She fanned her face dramatically. I stopped dead in my tracks;
I bet that was him, my new stepbrother. Well that’s just perfect, now Kate’s going to be falling all over him and I’ll be forced to hang out with him. Great, just freaking great.
"New guy?" I asked quietly. Liam rubbed his hand down my back gently.
"Oh, heck yeah! You should see him, he’s yummy. But you’ve got Liam so I’ve called dibs," she said, grinning and skipping along beside . "I don’t know his na yet, Hottie McTottie suits him though."
She waggled her eyebrows at
and I couldn’t help but laugh at her.
Jake threw his arm around her shoulder. "You know, I’m not used to you not wanting , Kate. I’m not sure I like this new behaviour," he stated, giving her his flirty smile.
She sighed dreamily. "I’ll always want you, Jake, there’s just so fresh at to drool over. I guess you’ll have to work harder for my attention from now on," she teased, winking at him as she shrugged off his arm.
He actually looked genuinely shocked and a little pissed off. "So, I need to find out everything about him, want to help ?" she asked, linking her arm through mine.
Hell no I didn’t.
"His na’s Johnny," I told her, shrugging and trying to go for the casual approach.
She laughed. "Psychic much? You’ve only just pulled up, how do you know his na’s Johnny?" she asked, shaking her head, looking amused.
"He’s my stepbrother."
She stopped walking and looked at , shocked. "You’re kidding ," she gasped, with wide eyes.
I shook my head. "Apparently, my father remarried, and his wife already had a son. If it is him that you saw, then he’s seventeen and his na’s Johnny," I said, shrugging as though it was no big deal.
She squealed and linked her arm through mine excitedly. "This is aweso! You can introduce
and I’ll have the advantage over the skanks." She was grinning from ear to ear.
"I don’t know him. I can’t introduce you," I replied quietly. I really didn’t want her falling all over him; I wanted to keep my distance from anything even remotely connected to my father.
"You are so damn greedy, Amber! Seriously, the hottest guy as your boyfriend, the second hottest as your brother and a very close third is your damn stepbrother?" she cried, looking at
with mock anger.
I was just about to answer when Jessica and three of her little clones ca over, all of them looking at Liam hungrily. I couldn’t help but smile as Liam’s arm snaked around my waist. "Hey, Jessica. Have you got my money?" I asked, grinning.
She sneered at . "Yeah right. As if, emo girl." She turned to Liam and smiled seductively, making his arm tighten on my waist. "You didn’t sleep with her, did you, baby?" she purred confidently.
I heard Jake groan behind . "I can’t hear this! I’m going to my locker. Ambs, if you need
today then call , I’ll leave my cellphone turned on," he said, as he walked off quickly.
"Well, baby?" Jessica asked, putting her hand on Liam’s arm.
He grinned and shrugged. "A gentleman never tells," he stated, kissing the side of my head.
I laughed. "Well that doesn’t really help with the whole claiming the money thing, lover boy," I teased, rolling my eyes.
He sighed dramatically. "Fine. Jessica, you owe Angel four thousand dollars," he said, looking at
lovingly.
She stamped her foot on the ground and I couldn’t help but laugh. "How the hell could you do this to ?" she almost scread at Liam. "You were supposed to be with ! You can’t sleep with so little whore!" People were stopping to watch now as her face got redder and redder. Maybe she’d forgotten to breathe.
"Jessica, we went out like twice," Liam countered, looking uncomfortable.
"I don’t care how many tis we went out! I’m head cheerleader! We’re supposed to be together. You’re not supposed to be with so brown haired, grey eyed, little freak," she screeched, waving her hand at
distastefully.
I couldn’t help but laugh. Brown haired, grey eyed, little freak? Where the heck did that co from? "Wow, Jessica, be careful, we’ll have a pack of dogs here if your voice gets any higher," I joked, laughing.
She turned her anger to . "You! You stole my boyfriend! I was the secret girlfriend and you slept with my man," she shouted, pointing at
accusingly.
Kate burst out laughing next to . Oh no, she did not just go there!
I stepped closer to Jessica, looking at her warningly. "Yeah I did, and wow he was good. I take cash, or a cheque with a bank guarantee card, whatever’s easier for you. Oh, and Jessica, if you ever scream like that at
again I’m going to break your face. You understand?" I growled, angrily.
She flinched away from
slightly; I grabbed Liam’s hand and dragged him away into the school, with Kate skipping along behind , laughing her ass off. "You should have bitch slapped her. I would love to see that," Kate chirped happily.
Sarah and Sean ca running up then. "You won the bet?" Sarah cried with wide eyes.
Wow, news travels fast in this school!
Liam laughed and kissed , tangling his fingers into my hair. "I’d better go. It’ll give you so ti to gossip about
before class," he said, smirking at
cockily. "I love you, Angel." He kissed
again gently, before walking off quickly in the direction of his locker.
I stood around, filling in my friends about how we were secretly dating, and yes I had won the bet. I had my doubts as to whether I would get the money though. Kate opened her big mouth and told them that the ’hot new guy’ was my stepbrother. I was secretly glad when the bell rang so I could escape to class. I didn’t want to keep talking about Johnny. I hadn’t even t the guy yet and he was already too big a part of my life.
I made my way to English and sat in my usual seat, next to Kate. A few minutes later he ca in. I knew it was him without even looking, I could tell by the way Kate gripped my arm way too tight. I glanced up and looked. He was totally hot; I could see what she was talking about. He wasn’t as tall as Liam or as well built. In fact, he was a little lanky, but he totally pulled it off. He had on ripped jeans and a black t-shirt with a black hoodie over the top. He had brown eyes, his brown hair was a lot longer than Liam’s and was ssy and a little shaggy. He looked a little shy, his shoulders hunched a slightly as if he was nervous. I could definitely see the appeal he held, and so could every girl in the class who was now staring at him lustfully. I laughed; the poor kid didn’t know what he was in for. Once Jessica got her claws into him he’d be done for.
Kate nudged
with her elbow, making
look at her. She mouthed the word ’hot’ and fanned her face, nodding excitedly, making
laugh harder. That boy really was in so big trouble.
"Class, this is my new student, Johnny Brice," Mrs Stewart said, smiling at him warmly. He turned to the class and smiled uncomfortably.
"Told you! Seriously hot," Kate whispered.
