JELLY BEANS!! I adored Jelly Beans. Would you believe that is what brought me together with some one I hardly ever talked to other than to insult each other? Ok so I know you probably guess it’s weird but it’s true.
Okay, a little about me. First off is my name, Amazon Anderson. It’s a bit odd I know and I have asked my mum thousands of times why she decided to call me Amazon. She said it was to do with this gem that my father gave her when they first met. It's called Amazonite. It’s really pretty I have one my self love it. So there’s my name. Some say it is pretty, some say they hate it, but I turn and say what ever floats your boat.
I am 17 years old but I act like a little kid when I have just eaten a bag of Jelly Beans. Now I'm 5'7'' which mean I'm average height. I'm not really skinny either. Actually I'm normal. I have been told countless number of times that I have nice legs and that I should show them off more but I decide not to. I have naturally tanned skin. It’s a nice golden brown and it apparently brings out my blue eyes that my black hair hides. Yes, I have blue eyes and black hair. Normally a match you wouldn't find so I guess that the only abnormal thing about me. My grades are okay, could be better, could be worse and my home life is normal.
Now we move on to my best friend who is seated next me. Her name is Fiona and I love her to bits. Her hair is white blonde and her eyes are really dark brown. She is normal like me but with a mighty temper. It scares me some time.
“You know staring at some one normally means you like them or you are guilty because you did some thing to them do or, in his case, you are seething at him.”
“The latter,” I replied. Fiona was good at reading me, but she liked to make jokes.
“So what did Darius do to you do day?” I shrugged
“Commented,” I answered for her. I didn't really need to elaborate as she knew what I meant.
“Ah. Was it an old or new one this time?”
“New,” I said, closing my eyes into slits. “I wasn't eating Jelly Beans,” She made an ah-sound and nodded.
“Ah. You didn't have time to buy some. But doesn't he normally say the same thing when he sees you eating jelly beans, too?” I nodded. “So why was it something new?”
I shrugged as I didn't know.
“I don't know. I don't really care. All I want to do is kick him where it hurts, spit in his face, pour melted jelly beans over his head, laugh in his face, and stalk off.” Fiona laughed beside me.
“Nice plan Amee,” I smiled and nodded.
“Yup because I have planned it out for to morrow morning.” She laughed a bit more
“Really?” I nodded, “That should be fun!” I nodded again. I sat back in my seat and relaxed.
“What will be fun jelly toots?” I glared up at Darius.
“None of your business ass hole.”
He smiled down at me and stroked my hair. I slapped his hand away and my glare got worse.
“Calm down hot stuff; temper doesn't get you any where, you know.”
I shrugged and decided to ignore him. He walked past us and sat in the chair behind.
Whispering behind me he said, “You know, Jelly, I saw you staring at me just a minute ago. You sure you’re not getting horny by my great looks?” I sighed harshly. I didn't really do this to many people but with Darius it was becoming a constant. I got up and turned to him.
“You know your mouth is filthy and I know I can have a filthy mouth but would you shut the fuck up and leave me the hell alone. You are a fucking dick head and I hate you. Don't ever talk to me again!” I then pulled my arm back and punched him in the head. Every one had stopped minutes ago and I hadn't really notice until I stalked out of there.
No one followed luckily. It was getting annoying that I was doing this every day. I didn't normally go around punching people but Darius had gotten on my nerves so much that I just couldn't take it any more. I stopped by my locker and leant against it.
“Hey...um...,” I glanced to my left. Darius. It had to be him to follow me. Well he could be saying sorry or he could be making me look more like a fool.
“What do you want?” I asked harshly.
'I want to say I'm sorry for just now. I didn't mean to make you that mad. I was just having a bit of fun with you, that's all.”
“Heh, that's funny I thought you were just trying to piss me off.” His face softened and I actually look at him proper. This was a rare side of Darius that you never see.
“Look I want to make it up to you. I really didn't want to make you mad I was just having fun and you were staring at me.”
“I was glaring, Darius, not staring. Staring at you is like staring at the bogey man.” His eye brows raised.
“Do you think I'm that ugly or is it just that your bogey man seriously hot?” I just blinked and threw my hands in the air.
“See! You are so egotistical that you can't even keep serious for one minute. You think every thing revolves around you, but guess what buddy, it doesn't. Why don't you come back down to earth for one minute and see how many people hate you.” He looked at me and sighed.
“Hon.…you are the only one who hates me and it breaks my heart to know I actually might not get to give you these,” he responds as he pulls a bag of jelly beans from his pocket. I stare at him and I'm speechless. “You weren't eating any this morning so I popped out and got you some. Is that all right?” I nodded and took the bag off of Darius.
“Thank you. You might be forgiven for today, but meant what I said. Please just leave me alone.” He nodded and headed off to see the nurse which is where I guess he was going in the first place. What really bugged me is why he was being so nice to me. He was never nice to me and yet after I have punched him several times, pranked him, set him up, and done everything you can think of to do with food, he still wants to talk to me. I stared at the jelly beans and made my way back to class.
I sat there in silence while the class when on. Darius came back soon and like normal he brushed his hands against my cheek. I look around me and every girl in the class was glaring at me and then I glanced at Darius. He just dropped a smile down at me and it made me want to scream.
It was just confusing he was being nice to me. He brought me jelly bean which he normally and constantly is bugging me about, he was saying sorry for making me mad, and he was brushing his hand on my cheek. Isn't that some thing some one would do if they were together as a couple?
I sighed and I wanted to have a tantrum. You know the ones you have when you don't get your way. I wanted to have one of those because today was not going my way.
“You know jelly toots you really are cute when you are distressed.” I turned and glared at Darius and then I just shrugged it off as much as I could. After 7- 8 years of him calling me names I'm getting used to it...Okay, so I had my funny five moment every day where I lose my cool and I lash out, but it is only in the morning before 10am.
Darius' P.O.V
Amazon Anderson. The cutest person you would ever meet, so what if she isn't normal but that is what I like. She isn't like every one else it’s what I need. I know I annoyed her but if I didn't she wouldn't talk to me.
I glanced over at her as she sat down for lunch with Fiona and the rest of her gang. She looked so graceful and yet she seemed slightly out of it. I sigh and turn back to my food.
“You know you should just go after her.” I looked up at Kenneth.
“And maybe you should just drop dead.” I fire back, “Besides even if I did go after her she would just push me away. She hates me and there is nothing I can do about it besides try and be nice to her.” Kenneth sighed and gave me his V.I.P pass to the down town club.
“Ask her out,” he simply says and gets up to find his own girl. I look down at the pass and decide to get my pad of paper out. I get a pen and write you, me, club, tonight. 8pm, I'll pick you up. Sound good? D. I fold it into a paper air plane and aim it at Amazon. I throw it and it lands right it front of her. I watch as she opens it but her face nearly cracks up. My face stays central as she scribbles down a reply. Then she refolds it and throws it back in my direction. When it lands I open it to find her neat handwriting on the paper fuck you it says. I smile and shake my head. I get my pen and reply saying yes please. I knew it was going to piss her off but I could resist. I chuck it back and it lands the same place as before. She opens it and see my writing. She smiles and walks over to me.
“What do you want Darius?” I shrug.
“I asked you out tonight. A date is what I want.”
She looks at me and says, “Catches?”
I smile, “No catches attached besides the after effect of you being pissed out of you mind and getting in to bed with me.”
She glared at me and said, “I wont be going near your bed because I wont be getting pissed as I wont be going out I have plans to night.” Oh I didn't think of that.
“Fine, whatever, please give me a chance one night this week we go dancing. I have a V.I.P pass.” She saw the pass and thought about it.
“Fine. Eight p.m. sharp tonight other wise you will be dead. You’re late, no more chances, okay?”
I nodded and she got up and left. I finished my lunch in glee. When I finished I walked passed Amazon and leaned in to say, “Amazon. You have one hot piece of ass there make sure its not hidden under those things you call jeans.”
She didn't do any thing but I just left. I couldn't wait until to night. It was something I have wanted for a long time now. I have liked her since last year and yet I still seem to spin her the wrong way. Maybe she is in serious denial of her self.
Amazon's P.O.V
So it was seven p.m. I had an hour and I just got out the shower. My mum was kind enough to put my clothes on the bed ready for me to change in to them. I was happy that my mum was happy for me going on a date. It was a date that I don't like but I could say no. I liked dancing and having a V.I.P pass it’s the best you get to go places where no normal people can go.
The best thing about having a pass is that you can steal one and take it as your own. No one will know it’s not under any ones name...okay so it on the computer but its not a form of I.D. It has no picture of any thing like that it just has your name and valid dates on it.
I finished curling my hair and mousing it to stay curled and then I waxed my legs. Waxing took ten minutes and it hurt but the end result is having soft legs for over three weeks. I walked over to my bed and pulled my gypsy top on. I then top my shorts and pulled them on. When I put my wedges on I felt like a slut. I never wore anything like this and I don't even know why I'm agreeing to do this. I looked over my self in the mirror and sighed.
“You look lovely Amee.” I smiled.
“Cheers Jase.” Jason my older twin brother; he was only ten minutes older then me yet he acted three years older. “I'm not showing to much skin am I?”
He shook his head, “Nope. Just right.”
“Are you sure? I fell really exposed.”
He smiled and turned me to look at him, “You lovely and who ever this guy is I'm sure he will think so, too.” I frowned at him.
“Jase this is Darius Sherman we are talking about. He has been flirting with me all day. He brought me a bag of jelly beans and he said sorry countless number of times.” His facial expression changed.
“Darius? Darius from school which was complaining about you temper tantrums today.” I nodded.
“Yeah he pissed me off so I smacked him one” She smiled and nodded.
“Please be careful tonight” I nodded.
“Always am bro” He nodded and left. I heard the door bell go and I got my phone and keys and put them in my bag. I slowly made my way down the hall and at the top of the stairs I stopped. I saw Darius stood talking to my brother. I guess Jason was just giving him a stern talking to like normal. When Jason stepped away I smiled and walked down stairs. I took it slowly looking Darius over before I got to the bottom. He looked pretty good actually.
He was in black jeans that has a rip across his left knee and he was wearing a white shirt. The top buttons where undone and his hair was spiked up. His lynx deodorant floated into my nostrils and it made me feel faint. He looked at me and as he surveyed me his expression changed. I guess he was surprised to seem me like this. I got to the bottom and gave my brother a hug.
“Don't forget to lock up when you go to bed. Please feed to cats oh and the dishes need doing and if you could do the laundry while I'm out. I will get you some thing I promise.” I turned to Darius and said “Shall we go?” He nodded with his mouth hanging open. I walked out the door and I glanced behind me. I saw him whisper some thing to Jason which made him slap Darius around the head. I couldn't help but laugh. I walked up to the car door and started to open it but Darius took over and opened it for me. I smiled and thanked him as I climbed in. He walked around to the other side of the car and climbed in him self.
“What did you say to my brother?” He shrugged and started the car.
“Nothing just something to do with our little conversation going on before you came down stairs” I nodded right like I believe that. “You know you look really good” I smiled.
“Thanks you haven't done to bad your self but I warn you wait till I get dancing I'll be so hot you wont be able to touch me” He smiled and said.
“Thanks. Oh and before I get seriously pissed and do some thing outrageous I'm sorry and thanks for coming out with me tonight” I nodded.
“I accept your apology for now and its no problem I rearranged all my plans so tonight is all you and me' he nodded and we turned to final corner for the club. I sighed as I saw the line and then I remembered the pass. I looked around me and I had totally forgotten about my jelly beans I hadn't had any today. You would think with the amount of jelly bean I eat I would have rotten teeth by now but nope not one.
“There is some in the glove compartment.” Darius said. I blinked at him. What was he on about?' “There is some jelly bean in the glove compartment dummy” My mouth formed an 'O' and I opened it. I took the pack out and helped my self to handful. They tasted really good and immediately I was jumpy. Darius smiled and parked the car. We got out and I did a cart wheel there in the street. I was so happy. I hadn't really gone out for along time and I missed the excitement I got out of it.
Darius walked to the front door where as I skipped next to him. Darius showed the bouncer the pass and he let us pass with now question. We entered and when I saw every thing I went crazy.
“Oh my god. I love it. Hey Darius come dance with me?” He shook his head and I just pleaded with him “Please I love this song and I really want you to dance with me. I did what you wanted me to. I showed my legs off. I showed my ass off so come dance with me' I pulled him off to the centre of the dance floor and I started letting my self free. I swung my hips and I unleashed my wild side. When St. Trinians theme came on I let my self go. I felt like and animal.
When a slower song came on..so it was still dance style song I calmed down a bit. After wards Rihanna, Please don't stop the music, came on I turned to Darius. He wasn't there. Where was he? I scanned the floor and I didn't see him. I made my way over to the bar and looked for him there and I saw him at with a girl and he had a beer in his hand. Jealousy took over me. I walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. He looked at me and smiled and then he turned back to the girl.
'Darius?' I said. He looked at me again and I raised an eye brow.
“what do you want?” He asked harshly.
“Well I asked for you to dance with me but when I got into it you fucked off and you are now talking to some slut and forgetting me. Aren't you like meant to be my date?” He blinked at me shocked.
“Girl I'm not a slut unlike you” She said surveying me “And I am most certainly not dating him” She nodded her head to Darius.
“Well it certainly seems like it sister” Her face was in shock but she was definitely angry.
“God what is your problem? All I did was talk to him. Over protective much that's what I say” She picked up her drink and left. Darius just stared at me and I shrugged. He grew angry and pulled me off to the private rooms. V.I.P members only. Darius found an empty one at the end of the hall and he slammed me against the wall harshly.
“God what is wrong with you? All I was doing was talking. I left you for a drink and when I saw her we got caught up. You don't need to be so up tight Amee”
“Well sorry for wanting a nice night out with out trying to have any problems” He screamed.
“Are you stupid Amazon? God why do you think we were just talking? Why do you think I wasn't all over her?!” I shrugged and he sighed harshly. “She is my fucking half sister you dumb ass. I wouldn't fuck her even if she was the last person on earth.” My eyes widened. What? She was his sister?
“I just made a fool of my self didn't I?” He nodded.
“Yeah you sure did” I sighed and collapsed to the floor. “You really are stupid. God I don't even know why I bother” I looked at him.
“What is your problem? It's like everything I do is wrong or out of order” He sighed and looked at me as I hoisted my self up off the floor.
“You are my fucking problem Amazon” I blinked at him.
“Excuse me?” I asked.
“You are my problem Amee. I cant get you off my mind. I adore you. I love you Amee and you are so dense that you don't even see it” I blinked at him.
“You...you..you love me?' He nodded “For how long?” He looked at me and leant against the wall nearest to him.
“Since last year” He sighed. I blinked. God, I am dense aren't I?'
“Um...What do I say?' He shrugged.
“Heh its funny you know what really turned me on when I saw you first?” I shook my head.
“No not really”
“Your obsession about jelly beans. You looked like an innocent kid.' I smiled and walked over to him. I led my head on his shoulder and I just stood there.
Darius' P.O.V
She was leaning on me? Now that is some thing new she never leant on me. I put my arms around her and she instantly pulled away.
“What are you doing ass hole?” I sighed harshly. What is wrong with her? She has a multi personality.
“Giving you a hug what did it feel like?”
“It felt like you feeling me up that's what” I blinked at her and I lost my temper. I shook my head and I grabbed her by her shoulders and slammed her against the wall. I leaned down and crashed my lips with hers. She tried to push me away but I just held my self in place kissing her trying to get her reaction. When I didn't I pulled away and looked down at her. She was a good 6 inches smaller then me.
“I hate you some time you know that right?” She nodded a little dazed. I was glad I did that much. I let her go and I wasn't really expecting her reaction. Once I let her go she raised her hands to my collar and pulled me down to her.
“Your a fucking prick head and I hate you” She whispered and she crashed her lips with mine. My eyes widened but soon they closed. Amazon undid the buttons to my shirt and pushed it off. I pulled her closer to me and I was tempted to pull her top off but she tripped me and we fell to the floor. I landed on top of her and I pulled away to see her devious smile.
“God your pretty” I whispered. She smiled shyly.
“Thanks but I'm not that pretty. I'm normal and I don't even understand why you love me and not some one like Christina or some one like that” Christina..my ex...she is a bitch and she cheated on my countless number of times.
“My dear I fell for you because you are NOT normal. You are different from all those other people. You don't over accessorise and you have an abnormal obsession for jelly beans.” She smiles and pulled one out of her back pocket.
“Want one?” She asked. I smiled and shook my head.
“I'm fine thanks Hun. I got my endless supply right in front of me.” She smiled and chucked the sweet in her mouth. I smiled and kissed her again. I knew tomorrow was going to be different. Christina was going to send me countless number of glares but I don't care I have Amazon.
Amazon's P.O.V
It was weird. Darius loved me and all this time I thought he hated me. Last night we spent most of time out kissing in the private room. The touch of his skin on my hand was amazing and even though I regret to admit it, I love him. I don't know why but I do.
When he dropped me off at midnight he asked me to meet him at school twenty minutes early at school so I did. I got up half an hour earlier so I know I would make it on time. When I got there I saw him leaning on his car bonnet. I smiled and parked the car. I got out and jumped over to him.
“What's up?' I asked not really knowing why I was there. He looks down at me and says.
“Go out with me babe' I blinked at him.
“Excuse me?” I could not believe what was coming out of his mouth.
“Go out with me Amee. I don't want my life to be you and me getting horny half way down the corridor and I turn round and fuck you then after that I act as though nothing happened. I want to be a couple so I know when I pull you aside and kiss you I don't have to act as though nothing happened” I looked at him and kissed him lightly on the lips.
“I'd be honoured to be your girlfriend. Just one problem” His face changed.
“What?' He asked.
“Yesterday we were down each other throats shouting and shit but now we are going to be making out most of out free time” He smiled and nodded.
“Yeah that is a bit of problem...We could act as though it was a joke' I laughed a bit.
“For a whole 8 years I don't think so” He nodded agreeing then he smiled.
“Meet me at my locker in ten. Bring your friends walk my direction or something.” He winks and walks off. He is planning something and I don't like it.
I shrug and go to my locker. I get my stuff and wait for Fiona and Neva. I smile and walk in Darius' direction. The girls are confused why we are walking this way and I tell them I feel like a change. I slow down as we get to Darius' locker and when he spots me he winks an says.
“Oi toots come here a second” I look at my friends and shrug. When in a reachable distance he grabs me by the shoulders and comes in closer. When I'm backed up against the locker door looking scared to death he leans in and says.
“Olive juice jelly toots” Then he kisses me. My eyes widen and I don't respond. I guess I'm still not used to him kissing me but my reaction was the best reaction he could have. “Be mine” He says just load enough for every one to hear. I nod a little confused an bewildered. What the hell did Olive Juice mean? And why did he just repeat last night. He dropped a small kiss on my lips and left.
“Jelly toots... In a bit' I waved and nodded. Fiona screamed and Neva came over and asked.
“What the hell was that all about? Yesterday you guys were screaming at each other now you guys are sticking your tongues down each other throats.” I shrugged.
“I'm in love, Neva. Darius just swept me off my feet...well he swept me last night we were just clearing a few things up with the whole school. Its still confusing but I'm Darius' girlfriend” Her face fell and Fiona gave me a big hug.
“Wow!! I knew that was coming just not as soon as I thought. You know I always pictured it like the movies. You guys fighting and then he swoops in and kisses you. He pulls away and says he hates you. You shrug and kiss him back”
“Were you spying on me last night?' She shook her head.
“Why?' I shook my head and look down the corridor. I love my life and nothing could get in the way of it. Same it was full of fights and quarrels with Darius for the most of 8 years.
Maybe I should asked the creator of jelly beans to change them to love beans because they brought me my love.
I, Amazon Anderson, hate him, Darius Sherman. I have for the last 8 years. He is frequently calling me names because I have a thing for Jelly Beans. They are amazing!! When he says sorry for making me mad I get all confused. So what do I do? Fall in love of course.
