5. Rejection

Rejection

DREW

My knees refuse to unlock, I’m still kneeling where I was before she walked away when my brother and Parker close the distance between us. I have no idea how to react. Not one girl in this entire school or outside of it has ever made me feel like I’m not good enough, but to compare me to my brother and say I’m less mature than him….

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say or do I've never been denied before. I want to punch something. Preferably my twin. I glare at him as his grin grows bigger. The asshole finds this funny. “I’m out, she’s a bitch.” I grouch before finally getting to my feet.

“Hundred grand.” Parker laughs staring after the bitch.

I can’t help my eyes being drawn to those tight buns barely concealed by the dark denim. No matter how much of a bitch she is, she’s got one hell of a nice ass. I shake my head to clear my lust filled thoughts. “No fucking way, she’s… Urgh! I can’t even... Urgh!”

I stomp away but Parker’s next words pull me to an instant halt. “You going to give up that easy? Guess she was right; you really are immature.”

I know he’s just riling me up, but after that colossal clusterfuck, I’m feeling a little pissed. I know I’m good looking, I know I’m popular with the girls. No one has ever rejected me and I think that’s what pisses me off the most.

This chick comes into my school and acts like I’m not good enough for her. How can I not be good enough?

My mind ticks over, searching for the answer to this. The guys are staring at me with sympathetic faces so I put on a false bravado, “You’re right. Wouldn’t be much of a challenge if she went for it on the first attempt. I’ve got this. She’ll be sucking my cock before lunch.”

“Ten says he’ll be turned down again.” Jamie stage whispers to Parker.

“Ten says, I can get her to sit with me at lunch and give me a hand job under the table.” I snap back.

“Ok, I’ll take that bet. We’re all in on this now.” Parker pauses long enough for my brother and I to nod our heads. “Rules are the same as always, first to get to a hundred points wins, a kiss gets ten points, hand jobs are twenty,

“Blow jobs are twenty.” I add laughing.

“First to get her to fuck them gets fifty.” Jamie adds. “And a bonus fifty points if you can get her to agree to actually date you for the whole week.”

“Well, that counts you out Parker. I doubt Melody is going to let you date someone else.” I shove his shoulder again just to rub it in even more.

“Melody can go get fucked, I’m sick of the bitch, her threats are getting old.”

“You finally going to swallow that bullet?” I raise my brows, daring him.

“It’s our last year, who cares if she tells everyone.”

Well colour me shocked. Stubborn assed Parker actually willing to bear the wrath of Melody Conners. This I gotta see.

“Nah man, we agreed to keep that to ourselves. None of these pricks are gonna understand why we did it. They’ll all think its sick and twisted.” I silently agree with my twin, but I hope Parker’s serious, Melody is the biggest bitch around.

“Let them. I’m sick of being Melody’s minion.” Parker runs his hand through his spiked hair, his fingers getting caught in the sticky gel Melody forces him to wear.

Every time Melody so much as touches me I feel like I’m being molested, but Parker lets her do his hair for him every morning. I don’t know how Parker puts up with it. I’d lose my fucking marbles if I had to deal with her shit for more than a few hours.

“I can’t take her shit anymore.” Jamie agrees.

“The secret we hold isn’t worth the creepy feelings she inspires.” I add, crossing my fingers behind my back. Please let him be serious about this.

“I’m serious, Melody is gone. Nothing she says can make me change my mind this year. We’re going to enjoy our last year here then we’re going to go off to college and start our lives fresh.”

“Agreed.” My brother and I practically shout.
