She's Romeo Alright!

Chapter Twenty-Five

“I’M IN LOVE WITH BROOKE ADAMS! AND WE’RE CURRENTLY GOING OUT.” Hunter blurted out of nowhere during homeroom period once again the very next day. Oh hell no. This can’t be happening!

Everyone in class started to gossip like mad buzzing bees including Lewis and Zeth.

“Interesting.” I heard Lewis say.

“AHHHHH!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs then felt confused when I realized that I was still on my bed… having one hell of a nightmare. Thank God it’s just a dream… a really bad one though.

“Dude, what is wrong with you? Class is about to start and you’re just screaming there like a girl.” My eyes drifted to the one who spoke who happens to be a half-naked Jagger just about to put on his uniform jacket.

“Some rough night, huh?” I got distracted with what he was saying. Apparently if someone happens to be eavesdropping on us and then sees my worn out bed look with Jagger dressing right in front of the bed, they’d think wrong and totally misunderstand the whole situation.

I scanned the whole room rather briefly for any sign of the other roommate of mine then felt a bit of relief when there was no Prince in sight.

“Huh? Um, I don’t really remember much… I guess.” Now back to the topic.

“By the way, who brought me back to the dorm last night?” I asked him.

“Oh, those two jocks did… didn’t know you mix in well with THOSE kinds of people.” He grinned at me.

THOSE kinds? Oh, I bet he meant about them being gay and all.

I remember checking out my phone for some new messages earlier this morning then I must’ve fainted back to sleep right after I saw that horrible video that could possibly ruin my life… my scandal with Hunter McKinley. Never expected that one coming…

“So, as we all know, the school festival part one is nearing and we still haven’t got a representative for our class. Let’s see… Brooke, you do it.” Lewis announced during our class meeting. He’s the president of our class, so what?

“Why me?” When I’m rather busy dealing with A LOT of stuff on my hands right now.

“Because… you claim to be the most handsome person in here, right? And besides, Prince already had his turn a few years back.” He fixed his glasses in place like he always does when he starts to explain things.

“Well, I guess that’s true.” I am rather good-looking so how can I possibly refuse the offer?

My eyes fell on Hunter’s back unintentionally only because he sits right in front of me and that his perfume is just so distracting…

I certainly did not expect him to turn his head and make eye contact with me let alone give me a WINK.

‘What the hell was that?!’ Now I’m asking myself right inside of my head with no one else to talk to. Of course it’s a WINK… now pull yourself together Brooke, this guy’s definitely up to something no good.

I suddenly got the shivers out of nowhere and had the feeling of being secretly watched by someone… and I was right about that because I just caught Xavier eyeing the two of us at the corner of my eye.

Oh joy. I wonder what THOSE two really want from me, exactly.

“Gage, I never thought I’d say this but… I need your help.” I said during lunch.

“Don’t you have other friends to do you a favor or something?” He eyed the table where Ford, Zeth and Lewis were sitting at.

“But they’re not evil enough like you are… and Jagger here.” I complimented the bad boys. When dealing with jock bullies you’ve got to think like a bad ass would.

“Explain your situation. Oh wait, no need. I already know where this is going. You got blackmailed by Hunter and Xavier didn’t you?” I told you he’s an expert in this.

“Uh, yeah… so what do I do and how did you figure that out?” Ah, curiosity.

“That’s because the three of you were looking at each other during class and yeah, it was that obvious.” He rolled his eyes.

“Now spill… what kind of dirt do they have on you on you?” He asked impatiently with a hint of being annoyed.

I moved my face closer to his whispering, “Kissing Scandal.”

“Whoa… you guys are intimate and Prince is fuming in a corner while looking at you guys by the way.” Jagger chimed in.

“Ignore the people. Pfft, that’s all they got and you’re acting like a wimp now?” Gage cupped my cheeks with one hand like some kid who needed to focus their attention on a certain someone.

“But it’s with Hunter who’s a guy… not a girl.” I said slowly while staring out in space.

“You serious? Still not a big deal though… since you’re a girl.” He whispered to himself.

“It happened in a freaking gay bar, dude!” I held both of his shoulders firmly.

He gasped in shock. Finally.

“Now that’s something suspicious! Who knew those guys were gay? Or maybe…” His eyes sparkled in mischief like he just had a brilliant idea.

“Okay, here’s what we’re going to do…” Am I supposed to be happy that he’s helping me out of my troubles because frankly I don’t really trust him a hundred percent but do I have a choice?

“Give me what you’ve got.” I exhaled deeply.

“I call it… OPERATION GIRLY BROOKE!” He smirked.
