Oh great! Just what I needed. Jessica being here. Actually, why was she here? And how did she know where I lived.

        "What are you doing here?" I spat as I moved away from the pool and stood in front of her.

        "Oh Moi? I'm here to see Vincent, I need to discuss something with him." She said pointing at Vincent who was now standing beside me.

        "Jessica, we don't have anything to talk about, so why don't you tell us why you're really here?"

        "Okay, you got me." She held her hands up in surrender before dropping them back to her side and snickering. "No, I just wanted to introduce you all to my new boyfriend. I mean besides Rose, we all used to be friends. Is there any harm in trying to spend time with my friends?"

        "You told me that I was ugly and anorexic. That hardly says friends to me." Megan said from her newly found spot beside me.

        "Yeah, and you slept with my boyfriend." Danielle joined in.

        Jessica waved her hand dismissively, "Let bygones be bygones. Let's start fresh. Including you Rose. We're all seniors, it's only natural that we spend our last year together."

        By this time we were all standing in front of Jessica, and all eyes were on Vincent.

        "What?" He asked cautiously.

        "You know her best. How serious is she?" I asked him.

        He studied Jessica for a moment and sighed. "She's pretty serious."

        Jessica smirked and placed her hands on her hips. "So are we going to start fresh?"

        I looked around at all the confused faces and sighed. "We can start fresh, but this doesn't mean that we trust you. You'll have to earn that."

        A grin spread across Jessica's face and she ran towards me and threw her arms around my neck. I stumbled back a little, but Kai caught me. I sent him a thankful smile and pried Jessica's arms off me.

        "I promise you won't regret this. Now let me introduce you to my new eye candy! Oh Jace!!!" She called.

                My eyes went wide but I instinctively made them look normal again. Nobody but Ryan knew what happened between the two of us so I needed to make it look like I didn't have a problem with him.

        "Jace man. You and Jessica?" Vincent asked as they did a little handshake thingy.

        I rolled my eyes and stripped off my shorts. A dip in the pool might clear my mind of Jace and Jessica.

        "Give me liberty, or give me death!" I screamed before doing a cannon bomb into the pool.

        The water engulfed me and I easily moved through it. It gets so cold back home that I rarely go swimming. I forgot how good it felt. Resurfacing again, I noticed angry glares coming from Megan.

        "You got me wet." She whined.

        "Oooooo kinky." Tyler joked. He was now standing in front of the grill flipping over the burgers that Vincent started making.

        "To infinity, and beyond!" Kai yelled and jumped into the pool, just as I had only moments before.

        "Oh that's it." Megan muttered. Being fed up with the constant splashes, she too took refuge in the cool pool waters.

        "Let's make a whirlpool." Kendall suggested joining us.

        By now, everyone was in the pool; Ryan, Vincent, Danielle, Jace, even Jessica. We all started walking clockwise in order to make the whirlpool.

        "This is gay." Jace complained.

        "Don't say that." Ryan shot at him. I just noticed, but Ryan had always been a little defense about people's ignorance like that.

        "Say what? That this is gay? Why not? I mean, it is."

        "Jace, don't be such a douche." I spat at him, stopping in my tracks. This caused Vincent to crash into my back.

        "What is up with all you guys and your sensitivity?" Jace shrugged.

        His ignorance was really starting to piss me off. Did he really not understand how disrespectful he was being? Even if he didn't know Ryan was gay, he still could have stopped when Ryan said that it wasn't okay.

        "Jace man, just cool your jets. Don't be such a jerk." Vincent spoke up. Something about Vincent seemed to intimidate Jace, because he shut up after that. Vincent got out of the pool and checked the burgers. "Food's done!" He called.

        We all rushed out of the pool and quickly wrapped ourselves in our towels. We ate grabbed our burgers and sat on the chairs, enjoying the warm breeze of the night. Vincent sat beside me and I was immediately thankful for his warmth. The air was warm, but my hair was wet, and the damp towel that was draped around my shoulders didn't do much to keep me warm.

        "We never even touched those beers." I noted as I looked at the cooler.

        "We never needed to." Jessica said sitting on Jace's lap.

        "We should play spin the bottle!" Christie offered. We all nodded and I led them inside. It was getting much to cool outside.

Jessica (I'm an evil little hussy) POV

        I watched as everyone walked inside the house, Jace and I trailing behind. Pathetic fools. Especially that Rose. She thought that she could come in my kingdom and steal what was rightfully mine?

        It was bad enough that when I came back to town I was bombarded with news about a girl who was seemingly prettier than me, but then when I found out she was trying to steal my man I went ballistic.

        I was lucky enough to dig up some background information about her. And it was also just my luck that the person who would be best at helping me configure my little plan was more than willing.

        Jace was perfect for my plan because he wanted Rose twice as much as I wanted Vincent. I know my plan will work simply because it's too realistic. It's not one of those, 'kill her' or 'threaten her and force Vincent to be with me' kind of ordeals.

        If I know Vincent as well as I think I do, when I'm finished with my plan, he won't second guess being with me. I smirked devilishly and followed everyone inside. Game on Strecker. Game on.

So how epic was Jessica's POV??? xD

I really hate her but I feel like it made the chapter. It gave a lot of foreshadowing!!! What do you think of her teaming up with Jace? What do you think their plan is?

Also if the whole gay thing offended anybody I'm sooooooo sorry!!! It was necessary for something that I want to do later. Believe me when I say that I'm no discriminator. I've read all of Amyscene's stories except for Biting Jasper and the others that aren't finished. But I am reading step brothers and I have to say I love it!!!!
