knew Amanda too well.
“I’m so sick of her! I’m gonna smash her face in!”
With that, Amanda lurched forward and charged in Susan’s direction. The female twin's eyes narrowed, revealing a malicious intent that did not bode well for the skinny blonde. Carly reacted before thinking, jumping forward to try to stop Amanda’s attack. Susan turned to face her attacker, her blue eyes widening with horror. But the horror was not so much the fear of physical harm or pain from Amanda’s fists. It was a much more horrific fate. Amanda stopped dead in her tracks and before Susan could move out of the way, the drunken twin lurched forward and vomited beer down the front of Susan’s top. Carly stifled a gasp as she heard Susan’s appalled screams fill the night air. Carly turned to look at Jake, who was laughing at the entire spectacle. Susan cried out in anger and turned to Jake.
“You think it’s funny?” she screamed. “Take me home! Now!”
Carly put her arm around Amanda’s waist and helped the twin out of the woods.
“I got her good, huh?” Amanda asked while she leaned on Carly's shoulder for support.
Carly grinned and replied, “Yeah. It was disgusting, but you definitely got her.”
With that, both girls looked at each other and couldn’t suppress the inevitable laughter.
Chapter Six
Carly rested her head against the soft pillow and flipped through the pages of a rock-and-roll magazine. At some point, she decided to close her eyes and allow the infectious tunes of the guitar to infuse her senses and send her on a cloud of liberation. Carly’s eyes fluttered open, and she turned to her side to face the source of the music. Jake abruptly stopped playing when he noticed his friend staring at him with a broad grin on her face.
“What?” Jake asked, unable to stop an equally broad smile from forming.
He couldn’t help being affected by Carly’s naturally buoyant personality, and he almost always found himself in a happy mood when he was around her. Carly continued her playful taunting, and she had to bite her lower lip to keep from laughing out loud.
“What?” Jake asked again, the twinkle in his blue eyes mirroring his broad smile. Carly was about to speak, but all rational thought suddenly vanished as she stared at his boyishly handsome face. She momentarily became lost in the depth of his blue eyes. It didn’t help that his smile only enhanced his naturally good looks.
“You should smile more often. I haven’t seen that from you in a while,” Carly remarked, sitting up on Jake’s bed.
“What’s wrong with not smiling all the time?” Jake responded. His cool, indifferent tone made her realize for the first time that Jake probably possessed some form of deep-rooted melancholy that she had never really noticed in him before. And she surmised others weren’t aware of it either. To the outside world, Jake was the boy who had it all. He was the poster child of utter perfection, and it all seemed like second nature to him. But she was beginning to see another side of him that was completely transparent to the outside world, a world that seemed to revere this golden boy.
“When you smile,” Carly started, hesitating before finally continuing, “it really…um…brings out the spirit in your eyes.”
Carly had wanted to say that when he smiled, he looked absolutely handsome. But, she had thought better of it and had quickly improvised to revise the intended statement.
“It really brings out the spirit in my eyes?” Jake asked, dumbfounded by her remark. He laughed then and playfully batted his eyes at her.
Carly groaned and tossed
