Chapter 13

Jack POV

Three days had passed since the new girl had arrived or should I say, new girls. I had seen that girl in my class again across the quad and she was with a blonde girl that I don’t recognize.

These three days had been weird because Jenny was being more clingy than usual. And not to mention that Nick seemed to be looking for someone everywhere we went.

I saw him looking across the cafeteria once at the new girl and her friend. I thought he was just interested in the new girls because he did not know them, but the look on his face told a whole different story, one that I had not seen on his face ever.

Right now we were in the cafeteria and once again he was staring at where the new girls sat and once again Jenny was clinging to my arm while chatting away to Haley and Kara Zaklos. That girl is always trying to upstage Jenny.

I don’t know why they hang out with her, but I guess since she is a royal and the royals always have to hang out together.

“We are going to the feeders honey, do u guys want to come?” Jenny asked me and Nick as the girls started to get up from the table we were at.

“No thanks we already went.” I told her. Then they were gone.

“Finally, now we can have some guy talk man.” I said to Nick. He wiped his head towards me as if I had just snapped him out of his daydream.

“Huh?” He said, as he slowly started to look over at the news girls’ table.

“That right there is what we need to talk about. Why are you checking out the new girls?” I asked him.

“What? I’m not.” He tried to deny it but I could see the guilt in his eyes.

“Yeah, right. So okay tell me which one you like and why aren’t you going over there and talking to her? This is definitely not like you Nick.” I told my cousin.

“I know, man. There’s just something about her that draws me towards here and I don’t really know if I like how strongly I feel about her, yeah know.”

“Yeah, I do.” Nick had been in love with a girl when we were 14. She was really sweet but as we got older and all the royal girls started to become royal bitches so did she. The next thing we know she had dumped Nick and hooked up with that jackass Harry Voda at some royal party. It took a long time for him to get over her, and he still never had a real relationship with any girl since then. Only just hookups. But now I’m glad that he seems so interested in a girl that I just want to drag him over there and make him talk to her.

That does not sound like such a bad idea. Maybe I will do just that.

“Come on man, we are going to go over there and introduce you to the girl you have been staring at or looking for, for the last three days.” I said then I grabbed his arm and started towing him towards the new girls.

He tried to protest but I was not having that. As we got closer to the girls I finally got a good look at them. One had long curly black hair that was flowing around her shoulders. She had on a school girl type outfit, down to the short plaid skirt, the white socks up to her knees with black flats and a white collard t-shirt. The other girl had blonde hair in a braid that was hanging on her shoulder, she was wearing black boots with black fishnet stockings and a black short jean shorts, a red t-shirt that had holes in it and a black tank top underneath.

Just as I was taking her in she turned to look at me and I was transfixed by her beautiful dark, blue eyes that seemed to be staring into my soul. God, I hope she was not the girl that Nick was staring at. I could not bear to see him with her, even though I don’t know why I feel this way I don’t even know her, let alone said anything to her.

We had arrived at their table by now and neither of us said anything and it seemed like the girls were in shock too. I really should say something before these pretty girls think we are weirdoes because we are just staring at them.

“Hi, my name is Jack Dragomir and this is my cousin Nick Dragomir. We just wanted to welcome you both to our school by joining you for lunch.” I told them when I finally got the courage to stop staring at this blonde beauty, who reminded me of someone, but I could not put my finger on it.

“Hi, my name is Lola and this is my friend Vanessa.” The blue-eyed beauty said. Her voice sounded like bells, I could listen to it for hours.

I shook my head of that thought and turned to my cousin who seemed frozen beside me, “Nick, wasn’t it your idea to come and say hi to these girls?” I said to him as I gently pushed him toward the table so that way he could sit beside that one he had been staring at and I could sit beside the other.

That seemed to get him moving, he sat down beside Vanessa with a smile on his face. Not his usual lady’s man smile but close.

I haply sat beside Lola, really glad that he had not been staring at her. There is just something about her that draws me towards her, kind of like what Nick was saying earlier.

“So where are you girls from?” Nick asked, kind of shakily. He was only looking at Vanessa so she answered for both of them.

“Um…….Well, we are from a school in Canada and we decided to transfer and continue our studies here, pulse we like traveling.” Vanessa said after a slight pause.

“Cool, so do you girls have boyfriends back home?” Nick blurted out. I saw his cheeks turn pink after he realized what he said.

Vanessa just laughed and I saw her cheeks turn pink as well. “No, we don’t. ……….Our home situation was kind of complicated so it was hard to think about boyfriends.” Again there was a pause like they were hiding something.

Every time, before she talked Vanessa would look over at Lola like she would tell her what she should say.

Weird.

I was turning to look at Lola, waiting to hear the answer to Nick’s question when Harry Voda came and sat down on the other side of Lola and put his arm around her. “Hey, baby. I have not seen you around. You must be new. I’m Harry Voda. Do you need anyone to show you around and tell you who to hang out with if you want to have a good time because it sure won't be with these knuckleheads.” Harry said with a laugh and a suggestive look at Lola.

I felt a surge of jealousy as I looked at Harry’s arm around Lola and he was definitely hitting on her.

I don’t know why I care because I just meet her but there is something familiar about her, but I can’t put my finger on it.

I looked across the table to see if Nick noticed how much of a jerk Harry was being, but he and Vanessa were talking in hushed voices to each other. Well, at least things were going well for him.

I looked back at Lola to see how she was dealing with Harry.

She gave Harry a glare and took his arm off her shoulders. “Look…..Harry. I’m not interested in hanging out with assholes like yourself. So why don’t you run along and find another girl who will actually fall for your bullshit.” Then she turned to look at me, so she didn’t see the shocked look on Harry’s face before he left the table.

“Wow, that was incredible Lola. I have never seen any girl turn down Harry” I told her a little amazed.

“Yeah, well Lola is not like other girls. She never falls for royal guys and their bullshit.” Vanessa said.“No offense guys, you both seem really nice.” She was looking at Nick now with a small smile on her face. He started to smile as well, I have never seen him smile like this at a girl before. Maybe she is the real deal for him.

I looked back at Lola and smiled. She really was amazing. But I still can’t put my finger on how I know her.

“JACK!!!!!” I heard someone yell my name and I had a feeling I knew who it was.

I turned around to see a very pissed off Jenny marching towards the table we sat at. “Why are you sitting with these losers!!!?” Jenny practically screamed at me.

“Jenny, don’t say that about them, you don’t even know them.” I told her. I have never seen Jenny like this.

“Don’t worry Jack, I’m used to getting called names by her. Right sis?” Lola said with a sly smile on her face that just made Jenny even madder.

“Wait, did you say that you guys are sisters?” I ask Lola.

“Yeah, twins.” She said.

Oh, my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
