CHAPTER 6: JACK

I watched her all through class. Make me wait? I didn't do fucking waiting, but here I was.

Waiting.

I shook my head at my thoughts and tried to focus on the lesson but it was impossible. The girl Iwas supposed to be making fall in love with me was calling the shots. I guess that's what happens when you fuck up the first date, right?

Fucking hell. This was a mess already, and it was only day two. And where the hell was I supposed to take her for a second date?

Class ended, and I followed Sandra and Maggie out. I tugged on Maggie's hair as I passed her and brushed my fingers down Sandra's arm. She glanced up at me and smiled. I winked at her and walked in the opposite direction, back towards the sophmore house.

Josh was sitting on the sofa with his feet up when I got there.

“How'd it go?”

“I fucked up, naturally.” I chucked myself next to him. “I have no fuckin' clue about this dating shit, man. I can't believe you're making me do this.”

“I'm not making you do anything,” he replied. “You agreed to this.”

“Yeah, well, providing she agrees, I have to find a place to take her for a second date.”

Josh laughed.

“What's so funny?”

“Jack is asking me for dating advice!” He chuckled. “Never thought I'd see the day.”

“Never thought I'd see the day I went on a damn date,” I grumbled.

“Try this Friday.”

“Friday? That's four days away and a party night.”

“What better way to show her you're serious than skipping out on your own party?” Josh raised his eyebrows.

“And where do I take the princess for our date?”

“To the beach? Have a walk under the stars,” Josh suggested in a girly voice and sighed.

“Great,” I muttered. “And until then?”

“Pop up when she least expects it. Spend time with her.” He shrugged. “That shit worked with Leila.”

“Right. She said she spends free time between classes in the library. That?”

“Find out from Maggie when her free time is, if she won't get suspicious.”

“Dude, she told me where to take Sandra for our first “date”. I'm pretty sure Maggie has her own freakin' agenda.”

He looked at me knowingly. “Then make sure you keep to ours and not fall into hers.”

“I don't fall in love, Josh.” I snorted at the idea. “And especially not with princesses like Sandra.”

“Yet you're willing to pretend to get her in bed.”

“Desperate times call for desperate measures, my friend. I always get what I want, and I want Sandra in my bed.”

“In that case, I hope you know what you're doing. We all know what Maggie is like when she gets an idea in her head.”

“Maggie's ideas can stay in her head. I never paid attention to them as a kid, and I won't start now. Besides, it's not like this thing with Sandra is even real. It's all a game, man.”

“A love game?” Josh chuckled.

“Something like that. Except the one who falls in love, loses.”

“And Jack never loses, right?” Josh smiled wryly.

“Right.”
