“So what’s the plan” Grace asked leaning forwards with interest
I set down my drink and lean back into the couch crossing my arms and glancing at her
“To tell Aaron to ask out Alyssa on the day of the Hale’s and Black’s fashion show collaboration, and hopefully get Cecilia and Oliver scheduled for a date by the end of the night”
Grace would have been ecstatic with the amount of words I said, but she just stared at me in utter confusion
“Why would it matter what happens with Alyssa?”
I looked away in thought for a moment before replying,
“Alyssa doesn’t like Amelia, and will disapprove of the possibility of her becoming related to us” I narrowed my eyes, “ She’ll ruin my plan”
Grace chilled at Jasmine's red eyes that seemed to glow with menace
‘Why doesn’t she like Amelia. I don’t remember them ever encountering each other let alone have a conversation’ Grace thought with a hand on her chin
Grace glanced up to look at Jasmine’s expression and sighed
“I can tell by the look on your face that you’re not going to tell me the reason. Are you?”
I simply shook my head
‘Glad she didn’t push’ I thought internally sighing
“Wait….what if Cecilia and Oliver don’t want to be together “ Grace asked
“They want to “ I looked at her directly in the eyes, “ the real question is if they will take the risk”
Grace tilted her head before her eyes lit up with understanding
“I see. The Black’s and Hale’s are on different social levels” Grace said thoughtfully
I nodded a yes and sighed catching her attention
I grabbed my drink and gazed at the smooth and unmoving surface. My reflection staring back at me
“ I haven’t been in this “upper” class society that many people call it, but I’ve learned of the way they think. If someone interacts with another that is on a completely different level, their image gets “ruined” per say” I speak while my left hand hovers over the cup and my middle finger traces the rim slowly
“All these classy people care so much about their image and the way people think about them, that they don’t get to experience the things they want and lose the chance to be truly happy. They care more about fame and popularity and end up not minding the conditional love of everyone around them. Though the minute a ripple causes the surface to change, is when they can finally open their eyes to what can be offered to them.”
I finished explaining while my finger tapped the surface of the drink and ripples expanded outwards
“I won’t force Cecilia and Oliver together if they don’t want to, but I will guide them to the opportunity of having that choice”
Grace is left in complete shock at the words Jasmine said, but in her mind she knows that she can’t deny anything because everything she said is the truth. Even she kept to her image in the beginning and still does when she thinks it will affect her brother's image as well.
I watch as many emotions pass through Grace’s eyes and I smile sadly
‘Even though I loved so many things I never had the opportunity to do them. If I can’t have it then I want to at least give it to someone else, because I know personally how someone might think that there is no option’ I think looking back down at my rippled reflection
