Chapter 9: Double Trouble

AN
  Image  is Vesper!

The night is young. The air is crisp and minty. Shadows cover the corridors like a thin blanket covering a child. A dark figure walks down the narrow hall, the light of the moon barely illuminating them through the large crystal windows. The figure passes a door which is cracked open only slightly. A pale hand grasps the back of the mysterious figure, and pulls them into the room, making sure to lock the door.

The figure recognizes the person instantly, "What the fuck Cas?"

Caspian, having his arms folded neatly against his chest, responds, "That's the exact thing I should be asking you Vesper. Stalking Jessica and Grey? Walking around the academy halls at night?" His suspicions about Vesper were correct.

Annoyance sparks in her eyes. "It's none of your damn business," she says, in a defensive tone.

Frowning, Caspian decides to ask her, "What is going on Vesper? This is not like you. You have been acting strange ever since Grey..." A sudden realization dawns upon the boy, "Oh God."

Vesper's mind works up what Caspian is thinking. With anger she spits out, "Shut up. Don't you even dare say it!" This week cannot get any worse for her.

Disappointment is seen in his eyes, which Vesper notices. "You two have been sleeping around haven't you?" He asks, slightly hurt.

She shouts with annoyance and frustration,  "So what Cas! Maybe we did..." She realizes her fault, "...and maybe I developed feelings."

"Come on Ves..." Caspian whispers. "I told you how Jessica is. That she only likes to sleep around with girls without feelings. You know it Vesper."

With her voice dripping with hurt feelings and heart break, she says, "She's acting like none of it happened ever since Grey came into the picture."

Carefully, he analyzes the situation, "Grey is just going to be another toy for Jessica."

Vesper looks away, unable to look at him. She shakes head, "No. Have you seen how Jessica looks at her?" She resists the urge to break down in front of her friend, "For God's sake, she even called her Jess and Jessica didn't even bat an eye!"

That is why Vesper left the cafeteria. Caspian takes a deep breath, looking for more solutions to her heart break.

"Just let her go Vesper," he tries.

Vesper grunts, having enough of this. She opens the door, and storms off too quick for Caspian to follow immediately.

"Don't do anything rash!" He yells after her fading figure.

It is a miracle that Jessica has not outcasted Vesper after everything that happened. Them together, even if just for fun, seemed a bit strange and foreign to Caspian.

"Dammit," he sighs.

Having been there all along, and heard everything, Saskia decides to make her presence known to Caspian. "Boo," she whispers near his ear, to which he responds with a shiver and a small shout.

"W-What the?"

She smiles, content with her work, "Don't worry Caspian, I'll make sure she doesn't do anything rash."

Rolling his eyes, he says, "She'll slip under your radar, like always."

Pouting Saskia knows he is right. Vesper's ability made her hard to keep track of. Time for plan B."Just tell her your feelings."

Caspian's eyes widen in slight horror, "Why am I not suprised to find out that you know."

Shrugging, Saskia leans on the wall beside her, "You know I have my ways, but don't change the subject you nuthead. Tell her."
