I Want Her Badly

Fitting Right In

JARVIS POV:

As I walked through the halls on Monday morning, my thoughts wandered off to my activities this weekend. After the party, I slept with this hot babe, Shiela... no... Shelly, I can't even remember. On Saturday, I went to the office with my dad and helped him, continuing my internship under him.

We had dinner with Claire's family. Needless to say, it was the same old boring conversations. Me and Claire spent the night together (the s*x isn't exciting anymore).

Sunday was family day, as usual. I played with my siblings. I had a tea party (torture) with Bianca. I watched reruns of the originals with Lily and played basketball with Roy. I love them very much.

I was walking alongside Pete and Ben, who were flirting with Claire's friends (minions), and I briefly wondered where Claire was. She chose that time to make her way toward us.

I studied her closely and noticed her hair was a little disheveled and her lipstick was smeared a little on her cheek. I concluded that she just had a quickie. Pete mumbled a slur under his breath. I couldn't agree more with him.

I was disgusted (okay, I have quickies, but not on an early Monday morning). She made her way over to me as usual to keep up the boyfriend-girlfriend image. She made to kiss me, but I skillfully dodged her lips( there's no way I am sharing a guy's spit) and pecked her cheek.

I used my thumb to clean the lipstick. "Keep up the image; you can't have a quickie on early Monday morning showcasing your insatiable s*x appeal to everyone", I harshly whispered in her ear. She scowled at me but didn't get to reply because her friends started gushing about how cute we were.

We then turned into a new hallway, and my breath hitched as I saw Alex. A smile slowly formed on my face. Alex and her brother, who were accompanied by Xander, were conversing and laughing with Chad and his friends.

"I heard Chad and that new girl, Alex, spent the night together in his penthouse," one of Claire's friends said. My mood instantly turned sour. I watched the group and admitted that she and her brother were really gorgeous. I also noticed most of the students were staring at the group and whispering (gossiping) things like:

" The twins are so gorgeous."

" Chad and Alex look cute together."

" I heard Paul is great in bed."

" Chad never sleeps with girls twice. That means that they are not a thing."

Someone retorted, "He has also never taken a girl to his penthouse before to sleep with her; it's only for parties. I wouldn't blame him; she is hot."

"Does France have more gorgeous people?"

"Are they part of the elite?"

Frustrated with the rumors, I began to make my way towards them when the damn bell rang. I fisted my hands in anger.

"Babe, I'm going to class", She pecked me on the lips, and she and her minions left. Ben also left immediately. I sighed in frustration.

"Don't worry, your chance will come", Pete said, patting me on the back. I hoped my chance would come.

My chance finally came during my third period; she was in my management class. I was thankful her brother and Xander didn't attend the class, even though Chad did. They sat beside each other and infuriated me to no end. Thank God Claire wasn't in this class.

We were being paired for a project in management class. The teacher pairs us. As the teacher was going around, I quickly and sneakily dropped a paper on his book which had the words, "Pair me with Alex". He knew not to disobey.

"Jarvis and Alex, Miss McQueen, Mister Jarvis is one of our best students and since you are new, he will help you through", the teacher explained. She just faintly nodded her head in response. I was giddy inside. He(the teacher) explained the project.

The project was that each pair of us would create a company (on paper). We are partners. We will plan our budget, hire personnel, and do all those other things. Then we will present the idea to the class. The project was to be submitted in a month.

This news just made me happier. The teacher then gave us the rest of the period to introduce ourselves and talk about when we would meet. Chad was paired with a pretty girl, but I didn't mind.

I made my way towards her and sat next to her. We didn't say anything for a few seconds, and feeling uncomfortable, I cleared my throat.

"Aren't you supposed to be helping or guiding me through like the teacher said?", she asked. Her voice is amazing, which was the first thing I noticed. Her accent was there, but not really noticeable. I smiled because this was the first conversation we were having.

"Yes, I am", I replied.

"Sooooo...", she countered.

I quickly shook my head to get back on track. "We will have to meet up to start the project, at your place or mine?", I asked.

"Isn't there a cafe or restaurant around where we can meet?".

"Yes, there is. But we don't know how long we will take, and our houses are safer and more comfortable."

"Ok, in that case, we will start at your place; when are we meeting?"

"Thursday and Saturday, if that's ok with you."

"Why Thursday?", she asked.

"Tuesdays, I have basketball practice; Wednesday, I have an internship."

" Internship?"

"Yes, I work at my dad's company as an intern under him."

"That's cool. Are the employees aware that you are the boss's child?"

"Yes, they are. I help with hiring and laying off employees. I make sure the staff are the best."

She looked deep in thought and then remarked,"You are not that bad."

I chuckled. " What was your former opinion of me?"

"I thought you were a creep."

I inhaled in shock and replied," That's brutally honest."

The corners of her mouth twitched. "Believe it or not, I was taught to be honest in cases like this."

My mood deflated a little. "I am sorry that my staring made you uncomfortable. Let's start over. If you see me looking at you, I am just appreciating your beauty."

She chuckled and replied," You have a way with words."

"Believe it or not, I was taught to be honest in cases like this,", I said, throwing her words back at her.

She laughed softly and I joined her. I smiled because our first conversation wasn't that bad.

"How are you fitting in?", I asked, continuing our conversation.

ALEX POV:

As I walked into school on Monday morning, I awkwardly rubbed my neck while Paul was nursing his left hand. Why? Because on Sunday, while we were relaxing and Xander was getting his things so that he would settle in, my darling father decided it was the perfect time for a training session.

The training session was horrible. We may be the best in the mafia, but putting twenty very good fighters against us (me and Paul) is just cruel, isn't it? Twenty against two were the odds.

We fought for ten rounds. In those ten rounds, our ribs were tortured, I was put in five chokeholds, and Paul's arms were twisted a couple of times. He finally let us go when we had beaten fifteen people. As we were on our way to our rooms, we heard Xander laughing in the game room.

He just said," Don't look at me like that; I was hiding away from Uncle."

I just got into my jacuzzi and relaxed. I slept through the afternoon. I woke up just in time for dinner. When I got to the dining table, I saw Xander nursing his ribs. I laughed so hard because I realized my dad had caught him.

I saw him glaring at me. I raised my hand in surrender and said," Don't look at me like that; I am just exercising my vocal chords".

As we walked to our respective lockers, Xander was mumbling angrily under his breath. I also bumped into a girl; we just apologized to each other and went on our way.

As we were taking our books out of our lockers (Xander's, Paul's, and my lockers were next to each other), Xander said it was part of the benefits of being a part of the elite. Chad came to greet us with three of his friends.

I was happy to see him. I enjoyed his company on Friday and Saturday. He introduced his friends as Blake, Ally, and Alex (boy, my namesake). Blake was handsome with jet black hair and rocked the bad boy look. He immediately started flirting with me and imitating a posh British accent. It was funny coming from his mouth.

Ally was a gorgeous girl who smiled almost all the time. She was bubbly and outspoken. Paul introduced himself the classic gentleman way by kissing the back of her hand. She blushed a little.

Alex (boy) was a cute nerd. He wore glasses, but it just added to his charm. He didn't talk much. Apparently, he was a genius. Xander already knew them, so he just chatted with them. Our conversation was cut short when the bell rang.

My first two classes went relatively well. I had either Paul or Xander in my classes. During third period, I was relieved to see Chad was in my class. I was paired with Jarvis for a project. I got to know he wasn't that bad. I actually enjoyed our conversation.

My classes went the same way: I would meet either Chad or Xander's friends and talk with them. On our way to lunch, Paul was telling me about the different girls he had met. He told me that one of the girls that he slept with on Saturday tried to cling to him, but thankfully, Xander got him out of the situation.

We decided to sit with Chad for lunch, and he introduced us to the rest of his friends. I noticed a group of well-dressed people at a table. Paul told me that they were the black elites. I was surprised and asked him how he knew; he said he met some of them and they were cool. He also said we were really popular here.

I briefly wondered what they did that made them the black elites. I better understood the politics of the school because Paul explained them to me.

Anyway, lunch was interesting. A pretty girl, dressed slutty, approached us and introduced herself to me and Paul. She was the head of the cheerleaders. She leaned on the table, showcasing her cleavage to all of us. It was meant for Paul. She asked me to try out cheerleading, but I rejected her. I don't cheerlead.

She tried to persist, but I was saved by a new mystery girl. She just told the girl, "If you lean any more, your bra will come off". The girl began to leave embarrassed, but the mystery girl then said," By the way, your pink wear is showing". She hurried away while everyone on our table snickered. I studied the girl.

She was gorgeous and somehow built. She was intimidating. She sat down, and I gave her my hand to shake. "My name is Alex, Xander's best friend". She scoffed and rejected my handshake, openly glaring at me.

Chad then exclaimed, talking to the girl,"Be nice". Based on her reaction to me, I already guessed who she was.

I chuckled, and almost everyone on the table looked at me in surprise. She just arched her left eyebrow, probably wondering why I'm chuckling.

"You're cute", was what I said. She parted her mouth slightly in shock. I saw Chad and some of his friends trying to contain their laughter.

"You must be Josie; Xander told me a lot about you", I said, smiling at her. In an instant, all malice was gone from her face, and she stuttered, "How..hw..did?".

I just laughed and replied, "Just so you know, nothing is going on between me and Xander; he's my best friend. That kiss on Friday meant nothing". She lightly blushed and said, "I didn't ask about anything".

Our whole table just laughed. The period before school was over was a free period for me. So I snuck into their music room. I started playing the piano. It was my favorite instrument, I always felt at peace anytime I played the piano.

I abruptly stopped when I saw someone staring at me from the door.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. You play really well.", She said as she came over and apologized.

I remembered that she was the girl I bumped into this morning. I just tilted my head, waiting for her to introduce herself.

She cleared her throat, embarrassed. "Oh, my name is Diana Fair".
