Spirit Users

Chapter 4

Jack POV

It is Friday and school just ended, I had been avoiding Jenny the whole week. So far I have been successful and Nick has done a good job of helping me.

It’s not that I dislike her, it’s just that she is always flirting with me and really heavily too. She is a nice girl, but I am not sure if she is the right girl for me.

“Hey, Jack. Let’s go to our dorm and get some of this homework done so that we don’t have to do any on the weekend.” Nick said as he walked up to me in the quad.

“Sure, why not.” I said, not like I had anything better to do, I thought.

We were almost at our dorm when someone bumped into me. “Oh, my god, I am so sorry.” I heard a girl’s voice say.

“No problem.” I said to her as I helped her pick up her books and my cell phone. Seems like it fell out of my bag when she bumped into me.

“No, it’s totally my fault.” The girl said in a flirty voice, as she put her hand on my arm. I finally looked up at her, expecting the worst since I recognize that flirty voice.

I was right, there Jenny is crouched, right in front of me with a smile on her face and she is batting her eyelashes at me. She bumped into me on purpose, I’ll bet, I thought as I stood up. She stood up too.

“Well, it was nice seeing you Jenny, but Nick and I need to start our homework. So we’ll see you guys later.” I told her and her friend Haley, who had been standing behind Jenny the whole time, but I just saw her now.

Then I grabbed Nick’s arm and practically ran into our dorm. But before we could go into the building we ran into our sisters.

“Hey, Jack.” My sister Sara said to me. “Mom just called me on my cell and told me that her, dad, their guardians, Rose and Dimitri, Uncle Adrian and Aunt Jill will be coming to visit soon. To see how we are doing and stuff. So yeah, she wanted me to tell you since you weren’t picking up your cell phone.” She continued.

“Okay, my phone must be out of battery, but thanks for letting me know.” I said to my sister. She can be a pain in the ass most of the time, but sometimes she really comes through for me.

“Hey, kido. How’s life.” Nick said to his sister Carly while patting her head of curly, blonde hair.

“Not much just that we are learning to do cool things with our elements! That class is my favourite now.” Carly said and Sara was nodding her head along with what Carly just said.

“Well that’s great, I hope you guys enjoy having normal elements.” Nick said and we both laughed. “So I guess we will see you both soon when our family comes to visit.” Nick said to both of them and they said bye and continued on their way.

We then went into our dorm and headed up to our room. I was dragging my feet with my head hanging low.

“Dude, are you okay?” Nick asked when we finally reached our room and sat on our beds.

“Yeah, it’s just that Jenny bumped into me on purpose and she is always flirting with me. I just need some space to breath.” I told him as I lay back on my bed. Suddenly I feel so tired. So I closed my eyes and decided to rest for a bit.

I don’t know how long I was asleep when my phone started ringing, and it was really loud.

I thought my phone’s battery was dead? And why is my ringtone ‘Who Says’ by Selena Gomez?

“Dude, will you either answer your phone or turn it off.” Nick yelled angrily from across the room in his bed.

I sat up and grabbed my phone, but when I looked at the caller ID it said, Lola. Did I know a Lola? Enough to put her in my contacts list? NO!

“I don’t think this is my phone man.” I said to Nick who had sat up in bed when I did not answer the phone quickly enough.

“Well, whose is it?” Nick asked

“I think it might be Jenny’s. Her phone looks exactly like mine and when she bumped into me I thought it was mine so I picked it up, but it really is hers.” I said to Nick.

The phone finally stopped ringing and went to voice mail.

“Okay, well we can give it to her tomorrow, but right now I am going to go back to sleep.” Nick said, but before his head could hit the bed the phone started ringing again.

“What should I do? Should I answer it? What if she does not stop calling until we answer it?” I asked Nick in a panicked voice. Part of me wanted to answer it to find out who the girl was, but part of me didn’t.

“Oh, just answer it!” Nick yelled at me after the third ring of the phone.

“Hello?” I said answering the phone. Did I sound okay? Oh, why the hell did I care what I sounded like to this girl I don’t even know?

“Hello, who is this?” The most angelic voice I had ever heard came from the phone. I was momentarily speechless. The girl’s voice did strange things to my body. A girl’s voice had never made me feel so warm inside.

“ Hello......You still there?” her angelic voice came again.

“Yeah, I am here.” I said after I cleared my voice.

“Well, would you mind telling me who you are and why you answered my sister’s phone?” She asked me calmly. She didn’t sound too upset that I answered and not Jenny, who I think is her sister.

I didn’t know that Jenny had a sister?

“Okay, I am Jack Dragomir. I go to school with your sister and she bumped into me earlier today and I picked up her phone thinking it was mine because we have the same phone and I did not realize it was hers until you called.” I explained to this girl, whose name I think is Lola from the caller ID.

“Okay, good explanation. My name is Lola Lazar.” I knew it, I thought. “And Jenny is my twin sister and I think you know her since she bumped into you today. She was probably trying to flirt with you, but since she actually bumped into you I think it is more serious than just her thinking that you’re hot.” Lola told me.

Oh man, I don’t want to have a serious relationship with her. I mean she is niceish, but just not the girl for me.

Maybe Lola can be that girl.

Oh shut up inner voice, I just meet her and not even face to face!

But her voice is so alluring. I can’t stop thinking what the rest of her looks like. Since she is Jenny’s twin she will probably have blonde hair too, but her personality is probably way different than Jenny’s.

“Well, I should probably go. It was nice talking to you, Jack. And remember don’t fall for Jenny’s trap, you can do way better than her.” Lola told me.

“Okay, but will I ever talk to you again?” I asked her, god I hope I did not sound desperate.

“Well........Maybe if you give me your cell number I will give you a call sometime.” Lola said.

YESSSSSS!!!! I shouted in my head, at least I hope it was only in my head. I turned to look at Nick to see if I had screamed out loud, but he was still asleep, so I guess I didn’t. Good.

“Okay, my number is 416-626-7138.” (AN. This is just some random number that I don’t even know) I told her my number.

“Okay, see ya.” Lola said before she hung up the phone.

I hung up the phone too and put it on the nightstand by my bed and lay down. She had sounded so amazing, too good to be true. I wonder where she lives. Or where she goes to school. I don’t even know much about her, yet I can’t stop thinking about her voice.

Man, I really hope she is not just playing me and that she will really call, I thought as I finally drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face.
