Losing Her

By RedRose18

Jon walked in the door and threw his keys on the counter as he kicked off his shoes. He set his bag by the door as he called out, "I'm home!"

He was answered by silence. 'Perfect,' he thought, 'I get the whole afternoon by myself to plan for this newest challenge.'

From the moment he saw Serena he knew that it would be fun to try to make her fall for him, but then he found out she had a boyfriend and that made it all the better. He and his friends from back at home had a little game between them to see how many girls they could go out with. Depending on their personality and attitude towards guys they were assigned points. Zero points if they dated anything with a pulse, five for a serial dater that still had some standards all the way up to twenty for a shy girl. When Jon first met Serena he quickly appraised her as about a fifteen pointer but was extremely pleased when he found out she was in a relationship because you added five points for every year of that relationship.

Jon strolled over and picked up the cordless and flopped down on the couch as he dialed the long distance number for his friend and competition Jake.

"Hello?" said Jake as he answered on his end.

"I've got a twenty-five pointer I'm working on her how are you doing?"

"I just broke up with Jasmine she was worth about fifteen points," replied Jake with out a second thought.

"Did you remember to take off the five points because I already dated her?" he asked with a knowing smirk forming on his face.

"You never went out with her?" exclaimed Jake, offended that Jon would even suggest he took his leftovers.

"Check the score book my good man I dated her for less than a week freshman year and it was bonus because I got her to say 'I love you'"

There was the sound of shuffling papers and soft curses, Jon laughed he knew his friend had just discovered that he had told the truth.

"So what are the scores right now since you obviously have the book out," laughed Jon.

"Well, I have 255 points, Michael has 270, Ian has 415, you've got 410 and Brian has 420. Looks like you might finally recover from the Rebecca incident. So what makes this girl worth twenty-five points anyways?" asked Jake.

"Well I originally thought she was a fifteen but she has a boyfriend that she has been seeing for the last two years, I met him today they seem pretty solid but that can easily be remedied," he said with an evil grin playing upon his face. "I've gotta go thought my parents are coming home soon and there'll be hell to pay if I'm caught talking to you or anyone of the guys. I'll try to e-mail you to keep you updated on my progress, just because I'm overseas doesn't mean I'm out of the game." With that he pressed talk and lay back on the couch.

He hated moving to another country but after the Rebecca incident and his parents finding out about his little game he didn't really have a choice, it was military school or Tokyo, needless to say Tokyo was much more appealing.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Rebecca was going to be the most points he had scored at once, she was a twenty with fifty bonus points for being the dean's daughter. It would have been perfect, but the doorbell had to ring and completely ruin not only his plans but his life.

Rebecca was sitting on his bed in his room, he was just about to break-up with her and break her heart to get his seventy points to pull him into a good solid lead but the downstairs the door rang.

"Go and get it," she said "I'll just wait her and then we can talk."

He walked down the stairs and angrily opened the door, he had just wanted to get it over with break-up with her and shove her out the door, just like with all the others. He glared at the delivery man as he signed for the packages. He deposited the boxes in the kitchen and went to return to his room. Through the cracked door he saw Rebecca sitting on his bed.

"Well Jon it's time to get this over with," he told himself. "Rebecca?" he started.

"Yes, Jon?" she replied innocently.

"We need to talk…" he said his voice cold and reflecting absolutely no emotion.

"I know." she said, "Jon, this isn't working out, I want to break up with you."

He was surprised, shocked to say the least. She was breaking up with him, it wasn't just the seventy points he was going to lose in his little game it was more than that, out of all his girlfriends he had ever had even before they had invented this little game to amused themselves, they had never ever broken up with him, and now this girl came along this girl who he didn't even like, couldn't even really stand was breaking up with him. He didn't get it he sat there stunned. He was brought out of his confused state by the sight of Rebecca leaving with her school bag slung over casually over her shoulder, with out turning around she quietly said, "Goodbye, Jon," and walked out of his bedroom door.

As soon as he left he laid back on his soft dark green comforter, and just let everything sink in. He didn't want to have to tell the guys but he knew they would eventually find out but they didn't have to know until tomorrow.

The next day at school was probably the worst day of Jon's life. He woke up late and was ten minutes tardy to his first class only to be immediately sent to the Dean's office. As he walked to the office the anger started to grow, why did he get set to the Dean he was tardy all the time and never got sent before so what was different this time. As he rounded the corner to the Dean's corridor he froze as he saw his four best friends all sitting in the hall. 'What are they doing here?' he thought.

Before he could think anything more on the matter the five boys were ushered into the Dean's office. Dean Magleby sat behind his desk with a menacing look on his face. The boys slowly filed in one by one into the dark plush chairs making eye contact with the floor rather than any living thing in that room. The office door shutting was like a death sentence.

"Boys," the Dean started, "do you know why you have been called her today?"

There was total silence except for the few slight sounds of rustling fabric as they shifted in their seats. Jake, Ian, Michael, and Brian all knew that Jon was going to break up with Rebecca yesterday and prayed to God that it had nothing to do with this.

"Do any of you recognize this?" asked the Dean as he pulled out a smooth black leather bound book about two inches thick. All five of the boys tried to hide the look of fear on their face, it was their points book that they had started freshman year. It listed all the girls they had gone out with and how many points they were "worth". How did the Dean get it?

After four hours, many long talks and five phone calls to parents later the boys were out of the "lion's den".

"I can't believe we got expelled!" exclaimed Brian.

"I know mom and dad are going to fricken kill me for getting kicked out of another school," added Michael.

"Well at least all of your parents are either to drunk or busy working to actually do some real damage. The only one out of you four that will probably get any sort of punishment is Michael," said Jon, "and the worst he'll get is having to use the limo instead of the Porsche. I on the other hand will be crucified"

"Anything the matter Jon?" asked Rebecca slyly as she walked across the courtyard to where the five boys were all standing. "Daddy find out about your little game maybe…" she trailed off with and evil smirk. "It was a great thing the door rang or I would have never found that book, then you would have broken up with me and won, but I beat you to the break up and got a little revenge. Bye," she walked back to her group of friends who all had equally mischievous looks on their faces as they watched their friend put the heartbreakers of Hilliard Academy in their place.

"Dude," Ian exclaimed, "not only do you get expelled, if my memory and excellent mathematical skills don fail me, and they never do, you are now in third place. I guess it really sucks to be you."

Two weeks later Michael, Brian, Jake and Ian were all starting their first day of school at Burns Prep School while Jon was on a plane to Tokyo. They five boys had one minor victory before Jon left, they broke in to the Deans office and reclaimed their prized possession, the black leather book, there was no way in hell they would stop their game.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Jon hoisted himself off the couch to carefully pick out his outfit for that Saturday, it had to be perfect. Maybe with Serena Tokyo wouldn't be that much of a bust after all.

So what do you think I felt incredibly inspired and just started writing. I wasn't sure if I wanted to make Jon a total jerk or to where you could sympathize with him but if you couldn't tell I went with jerk. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! (no not at all desparate) So I tried to make this a little less dialogue heavy than the last chapter. I might redo that one it really sucked. once again please review (they make me feel loved)
