Episode 1

Jess...

A compass needle always points north. This stupid bottle, too, when rotated, comes to rest pointing at me.

I don't know why, I choosed ( or rather- selected) a dare. That stupid, nasty girl Sofia dared me to say: " I like your style" to the hottest guy of school, EDWARD TYLOR. Sofia knew I had a huge crush on him. l mean, almost every girl had a crush on him. The problem with me was, I lost my tongue in front of him. I always did. I'd stammer and slutter and became speechless.

I shot Sofia an angry glance and walked to his table--- table of guys, as they called it.

I cleared my throat and almost immediately regretted it. All seven guys at the table looked at me.

I locked my eyes on Edward's perfect face.

I could feel myself getting hot all over.

What was the dare? What did I have to say to him?

I couldn't remember.

"Hello can I help you?" !! It was Edward.

Just say it and go, the voice in my head said.

Say it!!

Say what? I asked to the voice.

That you liked his style.

But I don't like his his style. I ...I LOVE his style.

Say it then. It doesn't make much difference.

I don't know. I can't.

Why not? It's the truth. He might be flattered.

Edward? Flattered? I don't think so.

But it's a dare. You don't want Sofia to laugh you!

I don't care what she does. It doesn't matter.

Edward cleared his throat.

"Ah...are you okay?" He asked.

" I... I... wanted to...ah... say ..." I stammered.

" Yes?"

"I ... that ...you guys look awesome!" I blushed. It wasn't me! It was voice in my head! Speaking through my lips.

Before I could say anything or even think anything, the guys at the " Table of guys" hooted and cheered. Even Edward! Was this real? Guys hooting for me?

Sweat broke out of my body as I walked back to my table.

The voice in my head had done a good job afterall.

I told you . I'm great.

I have to admit, yes. But... HOW COULD YOU DO IT?!?

I'll kill you! Do not ever use my lips again.

Actually, it was more like controlling , not using.

Whatever they mean the same.

"Why are they hooting?" Laura asked, a bit of jealousy in her voice.

" What did you say to them?" Sofia demanded.

" What you told me to." I answered calmly.

" Liar! Why would they hoot on that?" Sofia shouted.

I shrugged.

"Okay now. Let's continue the game." May intervened.

" I don't want to." Sofia snapped, stood up and walked away.

" It's no fun without Sofia." Veronica said. She too went away followed by Molly, Kate and Ella.

After a moment, May left too.

I looked at them, puzzled.

This table was now empty except me.

Why did they go away ?

Two words: Jealousy and attitude.

You sure? I don't think of May like that.

Appearance are deceptive.

I know. Don't tease me.

Why not?

Because you are IN me.

So?

Do, you have no right to legally teach me.

Who says?

I do.

Well, stop being so nasty. I impressed Edward on your behalf.

Oh great. Thanks.

Do you mean it or are you just being sarcastic?

What do you think?

I think what what you think. You are my brain. Or maybe I'm your brain or a part of it anyway. So I can't think what you think you can't .

Fine but you are confusing me now.

Okay. Guess I'll stop for sometime.

" Hey" someone said.

No not someone.

It was HIM. Edward!

I blinked.

"Oh... ah... hi."

"Edward Taylor."

I froze, staring into his deep, dark, ocean-coloured blue eyes which stone like crystals. They talked for fun, amusement and great----
