Chapter 8

Eliza

I nearly fainted at the sight of Benny's precious face being bloodied.

It's definitely Janelle.

I mean, how can Jai be capable of it? He's such a sweetheart.

Like Nick Delahoyd.

I hung on to Nicky's shoulder and received a surprisingly frosty glare from Dayna.

If this girl wanted Nick, she'd have to fight for him. I mean, which guy wouldn't be swept off by my charm? At the rate I was going, Nick was mine.

"Hey, Nick, you wanna grab a cuppa at the cafe?" Dayna asked him. He gave her a half-smile.

Say no.

"Yeah, sure, Dayne, I'd like to. Excuse me and Dayna, Elize?" he asked.

Come on, what was it with my helplessly wrong predictions? I always get the opposite.

I was about to say no, but then Nicky gave e such a sweet pleading smile and I relented. Besides, he would have fallen for me already, so what's the harm?

I went to the bathroom, only to find Jai, Janelle and Corrine in front, arguing heatedly about something. I slinked closer to hear them and hid myself behind a potted plant.

"Janelle, can we just go out for a pizza or something? I can make it up to you. Catherine can join us if you want," Jai pleaded.

"Say yes, Janelle," I muttered under my breath. My predictions were always wrong, right?

Janelle hesitated.

"I would love to, but, Jai-" she got cut off by Corrine.

"It's Corrine. If you can't pronounce my name right, you're not going to see Janelle. Ever." she snarked.

Jai rolled his eyes.

"Who cares about your name? So, Janelle?" he asked. 

Corrine flared up and Jai took his words back.

"Sorry Catrine," Jai apologised.

"CAT-trine? Since when was that my name?" she said, about to tackle Jai.

Janelle gripped Corrine's hand in a death grip. "Don't, Corr." she cautioned.

Just then, another one of the cuties, Jed, arrived.

I have never seen another guy pull of the casual but messy look well, but Jed... he did.

"Hey, hey, Jann, let go of Corr, he said, prying Corrine's hand from Janelle's and cupping his hand around her waist.

Aww, a pity he's taken.

"It's Corrine, Jai. If you keep getting my best friend's name wrong, I might be having second thoughts about that pizza." Janelle said coolly.

I'll take him if you don't want him.
