CHAPTER 9 Heat

“So you need to sing as a test” said the short hair girl who was a member of school band.

She got up on the stage “Hello I am Althea, I am going to sing “Call me maybe by Carly Japsen”” she said smiling. She took deep breathe.

The music starts.

? I threw a wish in the well, don't ask me, I'll never tell

I looked to you as it fell and now you're in my way

I trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss

I wasn't looking for this, but now you're in my way

Your stare was holdin', ripped jeans, skin was showin'

Hot night, wind was blowin'

Where you think you're going, baby

Her voice was surrounding in the school hall. Jacob was sitting with Gena outside of the audition room; he smiled.

“Who is she? I mean her voice so beautiful” said Gena.

“That’s my cousin Althea” he said smiling.

“So music runs in the family?” she said while looking at him flirty. Jacob was also singer and he was here to give audition.

“Many more things runs in the family if you wanna see on the bed” he said while getting closer to her.

Hey, I just met you and this is crazy

But here's my number, so call me, maybe

It's hard to look right at you, baby

But here's my number, so call me, maybe

Tyler was passing by with Julia when he heard her. It was first time she was singing publically. He really liked that voice but he was unsure who was singing.

“This voice its beautiful” he said in a whisper. He stopped by for a while but Julia was insisting him to leave with her.

“Come on what happening to him today, that bitch made my day miserable and now this some random bitch” Julia thought angrily.

“Tyler lets go we have to do some fun, why are you listening this mess” she said annoyed. He turned and walked away. Jacob was looking at them he rolled his eyes.

“Who are they?’ asked Gena.

“It’s my Idiotic cousin Tyler with his stupid dumb girlfriend” he said annoyed.

“She is his girlfriend? Why on the planet a good looking man like him dating that shit” she said annoyed.

“Good looking man?” he said in a huskier voice.

“Amm someone is jealous” she said mischievously.

Hey, I just met you and this is crazy

But here's my number, so call me, maybe

And all the other boys try to chase me

But here's my number, so call me, maybe

Her song was over and she came out, Jacob was sitting on couch too.

He got up and clapped “Well partner that was amazing” he said smiling.

“Hey Jacob you are here for audition?” she asked happily.

“Yeah I am but there is a problem” he said.

“What happened?” she asked worried.

“As you know the song I have written is not solo so I will need female lead to sing along, and my girlfriend Gena cannot sing so I need a singer and here you go, you sing so well” he said smiling.

She greeted Gena. “I? But you are too good singer, how would I stand by you?” she said awkward.

“I trust you, your voice was so much beautiful when you were singing, even a passerby with his airhead girlfriend stopped by to listen” said Gena smiling. Jacob had mischievous expressions over his face.

“Tyler? am I right?” she asked.

“Yeah he was here with Julia” he said smiling.

“Can we go somewhere quit?” she asked.

“Yeah but first tell me you would be my partner?” he asked smiling.

“Okay fine I would be your partner” she said exhausted. They walked slowly out of the school.

“What is it? You want to tell me?” asked Jacob.

“Tell him only your incident with Tyler not about heat now because Gena is here” said Lilly.

“I saw Tyler making out with Julia this morning in library” she said awkward.

“What?” said Jacob shocked and later the both Jacob and Gena laughed uncontrollable.

“You saw them making out I mean this would be last thing I want to see” said Jacob.

“And I made them noticed me” she said embarrassed.

“You got to be kidding me” he said laughing.

“Yeah laugh now” she said annoyed.

She was standing outside of the school it was raining; Jacob had gone to drop Gena to her car. She was waiting for him when she felt a very sharp pain in her body. Tyler was passing by to his car. The pain had made her blind; her whole body was on heat. Jacob was coming towards her when he saw her like that, even Tyler had noticed her, and she turned to Jacob.

“Jacob!” she called his name and collapsed in his arms.

“Althea?” called out Jacob but she was faint.
