Searching for Love, Found Wealth

Reuben immediately pointed at Jasper and Jasper looked surprised. I smiled suddenly. Reuben was just a happy pill.

Jacob pointed at Reuben from behind while he couldn’t see him. I knew it was Reuben who’d play such pranks. It was so him.

“Jasper wanted to say you did a good job” Reuben nodded.

Jacob rolled his eyes and kept pointing at Reuben.

“Thanks, Jasper” I smirked. Jasper smiled warmly and I smiled back. I saw something spark in Reuben’s eyes, and if my level of romance is right, that was jealousy.

Well, he’s the one giving Jasper the credits.

“I also, I also thought you did a great job” he quickly added. I made a face and gave a smile. Sheena tapped me so I looked forward.

I heard him chattering about something, as usual. He always had something to say. I was low key excited that he felt jealous.

But again, with my level of romance, I knew a boy being jealous because of you doesn’t guarantee he felt anything for you.

Sheena brought out her phone from her bag. I never saw her using her phone in class. It had a cute pink padding.

Reminding me to change my torn ash padding to something more. She went into her gallery and scrolled down to the bottom.

I balanced on my seat waiting for the spectacle she’d be showing me. She finally tapped on a longhaired tattooed guy.

She zoomed in for me to see his face. I’m telling you, if you not that she zoomed in, I’d never had known who it was.

I turned behind me to take a good look at the copy behind me to know whether he could ever be as dangerous looking as he was in that photo.

Sheena was very right. Jacob hadn’t been always living a calm and quiet life.

Yes, those tattoos were temporary ink but his style was wild. And his dressing in the photo. And his wild red hair.

And that was the photo he used to win, Prom King of the year. Looking that way. Sheena wanted to add something but Chloe dragged her phone and deleted the photo.

“Every freaking person has deleted their copy of that photo yet you carry yours around. Are you drooling over Jacob or his twin, girl?” she muttered.

Sheena gasped. I thought she’d be madder than that but she just shook her head.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I just wanted to keep a copy. To remind me that Jacob was once like this. That’s all”.

Well, thanks to Chloe, it confirmed my suspicions on Sheena having feelings for Jacob’s twin, Jasper.

I guess she was so obvious. But as it goes, the boy would always never know even when the whole world does.

“You can still find it on Facebook. It was his profile picture all through last year” she told me, writing his Facebook name behind my book.

“Yeah and Kiera should go digging his timeline to find it?” Chloe interrupted.

Sheena rolled her eyes and tried changing the topic to her padding but Chloe kept on interrupting her and talking of all the things Jacob did during his naughty era.

“Honestly, I did feel something for him. Call it a crush if you want but after hearing he dated Cara and they but won Prom King and Queen together, I loathed him. Whatever died” Chloe sighed.

Sheena was surprised about her confession. I wasn’t so surprised, Chloe liked tough boys. I was more surprised that Jacob dated Cara.

No wonder he never talked whenever she misbehaved. They were really remaining exes. Could also be why Reuben and Jasper hates her a lot.

It was high time I knew my new classmates dating history.

“Cara has dated almost all our past senior boys. In our class, she’s dated Jacob, Joey, a guy named Titus that left, and Chris, that dumb guy who’s dumber than me”.

Sheena pointed to one of the backbenchers. I hadn’t noticed him. He was really cool and good-looking.

“He’s an African Spanish. That’s why he’s that hot” Chloe nudged me. I couldn’t help but agree. To bad he’s dumb.

The first batch that went to sign for the gym class returned and we left as the second batch.

Sheena kept on stealing glances at Jasper and I couldn’t help but tease her.

“Stop pinching me, Chloe” she shouted after she couldn’t bear Chloe’s pinching. Chloe stood frozen as we all turned to her.

Jennifer sighed and walked faster. Also Chris.

“Wanna destroy her pretty skin?” Reuben smiled but tapped me. I wanted to say I wasn’t the one pinching her but he left with his crew.

“Thanks for taking the blame” Chloe snickered.

“Really? Like wasn’t it obvious he’s just blaming her. Everyone saw it was you. Reuben is just playing his prank crush again this year” Sheena protested.

I tilted my head and asked her how?

Prank crush, according to Sheena, was Reuben’s usual habit each term. He’d pick a particular girl he’d bother or prank all the time.

Usually newbies. Others would think he had a crush on her and wouldn’t bother her, including bullies.

Sheena said it could be a good thing since Reuben just played around with the girl and acted like he was responsible for her.

At least bullies made sure not to bully the newbie. Only problem was, usually the newbie fall in love with him.

And he wouldn’t reciprocate because he had no such intentions.

Chloe disagreed that it wasn’t his fault if the girls fell for him.

She didn’t like Sheena calling it a “prank crush” as he wasn’t crushing on them nor pranking them.

He just used his influence to protect them. It should be seen as sweet instead as distasteful as Sheena was putting it.

With the way Chloe defended Reuben, Sheena and I began wondering if her new crush was Reuben.

“Okay, fine. But he obviously knew his actions could be misinterpreted” Sheena still insisted. Chloe exhaled and I knew another confrontation was about to start.

I walked away from them and joined the line. Since when did Reuben become my problem?
