Candy
hungry for it.
In reaction, I open my water and swig a long mouthful, washing down
my mint by mistake.
    Haydn sniggers
at me, for no reason that I can think of other than to be nasty
somehow.
    Jack just
stares at me. His green eyes unnerve and worry me.
    I fancy him
like mad. He's my 'if only', my big crush. He's not your typical
handsome hunk. He's kinda too lean to be a hunk. But he's real
handsome all right. His eyes and thick lashes get me, right there,
in the lower gut. And his short, neatly-cropped, chestnut hair and
sulky lips turn me on even more.
    I'm
overreacting, breathing hard. Getting very uncomfortable in his
presence.
    “ How's the weirdo anyway?” Haydn asks.
    “ Weirder than ever,” I reply, honestly. “Don't challenge me to
a weirdness contest.”
    Cody snorts in
amusement, his eyes twinkling brightly. He seems to love my
conversation. Whatever I say.
    “ How's your dad, still running the pack?” Jack asks. He used
to be in my dad's scouts pack, years ago.
    “ He's fine. Still scouting for new talent,” I joke.
    “ That's cool. Tell him I said hello.” Jack cocks his head and
smiles at me. It's just a tiny grin, and a flash of lovely teeth,
but it sets me off. My heart's almost pumping out of my
chest.
    He takes a
swig of his bottle of OJ and stands up, swinging it between his
fingers and hoisting his backpack over his shoulder.
    “ Better be going hadn't we, Candy? It's early start today.” He
waits for me to rise and follow. And of course, like a moth to a
flame, I do.
    I thank Cody
for the drink and trot off next to him, alongside his heavenly
mixture of manly smell, and wildly erotic bloody undertones.
    He's in my
English and Latin classes, unfortunately. He's another thing I need
a distraction for.
    Jack Rowland
lust. Thank God he doesn't sit with me. I'd have sucked him dry by
now.
    I laugh at myself. Those words sound so bad in my head.
    “ That was a dirty laugh,” he says with a perfect little twitch
of his mouth.
    “ What would an innocent like you know about dirty laughs,” I
tease.
    “ More than you might think. Wanna let me in on it?”
    “ Oh no. Then I'd have to kill you.”
     
    He chuckles
sexily. The sound trickles down from my ears to my toes.
    “ Talking of dirty laughs. Yours is double X rated.”
    “ Wanna know something? You're not only gorgeous, and weird,
you're kinda funny as well. You're fucking lethal,
girl.”
    He wanders off
to his chair and sits down, giving me a heavy dose of sexy eye.
    He could be
right there. Maybe I am lethal. But not in the way he meant.
