Hey readers, thank you for joining my site. it's time for a new chapter of
Admire Me. Where we last left off, Braylon was angry at Mitch. The baby
drama was taken to the heart by Braylon. Which left him thinking he should
bring his clique back.

********

Chapter 9: Division

I had been calculating and rescheduling everything. It comes down to today!
Today, is the day my clique will be resurrected. Jade and I worked hard, to
get all of this arranged, and back in order. We both invited all of the
clique to the table we regularly sit at.

I was calling a meeting to reunite us. I have everything I want to say
memorized, so nothing can go wrong. All there is left, is to wait on Jade
to walk back in here with them. After the meeting we can settle things, and
everything will be back on proper schedule.

Jade came walking back to me, but he was alone! He was breathing like he
ran a mile. My eyebrow went up.

"Braylon." Jade huffed. " I ran into Ryan and Keylan in the halls."

"Why, aren't they with you?" as a beta. I gave Jade specific orders, to
bring them along with him. He better have a good excuse.

"Hold on, I'm getting there," he tried sitting down, to catch his
breath. "Ryan and Keylan didn't come back with me because...they didn't
want to be apart of the clique anymore." Jade rushed out.

"What!!" okay, not wanting to be apart of the clique. Come on, this is a
joke. I heard what Jade said, but I wasn't buying it. How could they turn
my offer down? It's totally not like them.

"Yes, they said it." he confirmed." Both of them have been distant even
more than before. So I don't know. I'm surprised, but I'm not surprised."
he shrugged.

"What were they doing when you saw them? Where are they at, now?"

"They were walking the halls with David."

"What!" where is all this coming from? This is a joke! I just haven't came
to terms with it. "Jade, if you are joking stop it now!" I demanded.

Seeing that he was serious about everything, I didn't take the situation
lightly. David, Ryan,...Keylan, no way! That is a bad mixture. I might have
to see it, to believe it. Keylan is dating Kimmie. How could him and David
get along?

Looking Jade in the eyes, I said, "You're telling me, Ryan and Keylan do
not want their positions back?"

"That is what they said." Jade honestly admitted. " I think David is their
alpha. Ever since you left. Those two had been acting strange."

Thinking about what Jade said. Something had came to me. Something I may
have missed before. " If you think about it. They both have always acted a
little strange. Think about this: the whispering, the way they get off to
themselves. I never got a good vibe from any of it."

Jade was nodding in agreement. "That is true. I have always put up with
Keylan and Ryan, but I could see the division in our clique." Jade was on
to something. "and if you ask me, they were the reason Korbyn came in the
group. They brought Korbyn along to do what they always wanted to do, but
never dared."

"And what is that, Jade?"

"To attack you!" he exclaimed. It was believable. It was making more sense
the more I discussed it. Jade is making sense to me.

I tried to sit there and rule out the possibility of this, but something
wouldn't let me do that. I feel as if I knew this all along. They have been
wanting out for a while. The only reason they stayed in the clique: They
were fearful of what I would do to them.

"You know, it's always been this way from the beginning. You and I" I
continued." Ryan...Keylan, but starting this second we will form a new
clique. When we find the next member, no one else gets in!"

"Why did you say `next member?' Are you looking for one person?" Jade was
curious to know what was going through my head.

"Good observation! You are right! See as many members we had. I think, if
we keep fewer numbers. There will be fewer problems." I explained. I miss
Ryan being around me. I missed Keylan's green eyes on me, but I see that
the clique was mainly: Jade and Braylon.

As our conversation reached deeper. We both agreed, and our eyes were glued
to one another. I don't know if he could sense the fiery passion behind my
stare, but it was there. I was feeling this way because Jade was being
loyal. His loyalty was causing me to melt.

I was thrown out of my stare down. When my phone vibrated. It was a text.

*(Mitch: hopefully we can stay friends, but I want my daughter to meet
you. Answer me when you can.)*

Arg!! He still hasn't given up! He is bringing his daughter in this! I'll
be friends with him. Other than that, I don't want him!

"Was that your mom?" Jade assumed, looking suspicious. I hate to lie to
him. He has been so loyal, but I had to. so, I shook my head `yes'.

All week Jade and I ran test, watched, and studied for potential candidates
for the clique. It was a tiresome search. We were exhausted. The people we
saw didn't have the qualities. If it wasn't their clothes that threw them
off, it was their weight, if it wasn't the weight, it was their looks, and
everything that followed behind that. This was a drainer!

Jade let me come over his house. We were using his computer to search our
school on Myspace, to find our next clique member.

It was 10:00 p.m. things were on the down side. I was tired of seeing all
the profiles too.

"Not him, not him, eww, double eww, never, get a life, yuk..." Jade rubbed
his sleepy eyes scanning through profiles. I laid on his bed, because it
was his turn to look through the profiles.

"Hey, Jade! If you see anyone interesting, wake me up!" I said sluggishly,
trying to make sure he got the message before my eyes closed.

"Okay." he yawned.

I went to sleep, restoring my energy from the hunt.

***Five Hours Later****

I was awaken. When I felt Jade kicking my leg. Raising lazily in a sitting
position. I saw that he was sleep. The kicking went on, and he was moving
with sweat over him. I wasn't sure what to do, as I watched for the first
time, one of my friends have a nightmare!

The grunting, and rolling around continued. He tried to say something, but
nothing was making sense. He was desperately seeking help.

His dark room only held a fragment of light from the computer screen. I sat
beside him hearing his desperate cry. I was helplessly, thrown in shock. I
didn't know how to help him. I didn't know what to do for him.

I have never been in this predicament before. Worry was clawing at me, as I
stared at his awkward flailing movements. He perspired a small amount on
the yellow skin of his face. I can't sit here like this! I better do
something!

I reached at him-

"Bray-" he blurted, jumping from his nightmare, and into my arms.

"I'm here." is all I could tell him. Rocking him in my arms. We were caught
in an embrace. Then he started to talk again.

"It...It was crazy! Something bad happen to you!" Jade panicked, trying to
make eye contact, in the low lit room. " I don't want to repeat exactly
what I saw, but-"

"Jade, it's okay. We don't have to talk about it now. You hear me?" I was
still holding him for dear life. His timid suave body against mine. The
sweat from his face, was now on my shirt.

The only thing I know to do right now, is be here for him. He needs me.

"Jade...Jade are you okay now?" I asked breaking the silence in the room. I
was so worried about him. This was my beta! He has proven his loyalty to
me.

"I..I guess so." he trailed off. He tightened his arms around me. I didn't
know what else to do, but tighten my hold on him.

He released me after a good minute. For some reason, my arms wouldn't
unwrap him. My body is doing it again! This only happens with Jade! I don't
have any explanation.

Jade drew his body closer to mine. Like it was a natural response. His
hands glided on both sides on my body. Slowly...slowly, coming up to my
face. The room made him some what blind.

Using his fingers he felt around on my face. He placed his thumbs at the
corners on my mouth. Suddenly unaware, my senses and everything that helped
me adapt to the dark flipped on me!

It was so bad, that I couldn't understand anything in the room anymore. I
couldn't taste anything in the room, but sweet nectar from Jade's lips. His
lips! He was kissing me! Wow, I need to live in the moment.

Before I knew it. I was kissing him passionately back. It was a great
feeling, to get it out.

Jade stopped the kiss. "Braylon you kissed me back?" he said puzzled.

" I... don't know how it happened, but I did." I said, hanging on the edge
for more kisses. "Jade you should have told me." I leaked out, feeling the
hot emotions in the air.

" I didn't know who I could trust with a secret like this. Think about what
would have happen if I would have told Keylan, or Ryan. I would be ruined."
he whispered to me.

"I played it safe too." I laughed." but I think this means a new level of
friendship for us." I grazed the bottom of his lip with my thumb.

He smiled big. "We have a ton to talk about, and I have questions."

We cuddled securely in his bed until we saw dawn breaking the sky. We
discovered more about each other. We shared our crushes, and I told him
about Mitch. He thought I was making the story up. I had to show him my
text messages to prove it to him.

Jade drove me to school and back home everyday. After our lovely night of
discovery. Jade and I had a stronger bond. He told me things like, `he once
had a thing for Ryan.'

The lunch table consisted of just us two. Which was simpler and less
stressing. We are having our usual conversation about who the third member
would be.

When somebody sat at our table. It was Korbyn! He gave us a look like `How
did you two get here?' what a bad time to show you face Korbyn.

"Are you lost?" I couldn't help but ask.

"No." he replied, looking at Jade. Like Jade was the one who asked him. " I
want to be in the clique again." he announced, never once acknowledging me.

Jade knew how to handle this." It's not up to me."

"Well ask who ever it's up to." Korbyn said.

What is this maniac thinking? He barged over here, to be in my clique, but
he can't acknowledge me. Adding to that, Jade told me Ryan and Keylan had
offered him to join our old clique, to attack me. I don't trust Korbyn. For
all I know this could be a trick.

On the other side of things. I can't say no. we have searched high and low
to find a worthy member, and we came out with nothing. He fit's the
qualifications, but I will have my eye on him.

"Tell him yes." I answered with a fake smile. One thing I will write in my
agenda, Make Korbyn respect me!

Jade turned to Korbyn, "You're in." I hope I am doing the right thing by
letting him join, but I had a limited time to restore my clique. I was
desperate. Desperate times, calls for desperate measures.

"Uh Braylon we have the third member." Jade reminded me.

" I know, I already know what we are to do." I smirked, while ignoring
Korbyn. "We are using `code red!'"

Jade almost fell in his seat. "Code red? That only works on girls."

"Right." I spoke proud fully. "Ryan is dating Sabre. I say we indirectly
attack their crew, through her. When ever we humiliate Sabre. Ryan has to
still date the disaster. This would make Ryan a laughing stalk too." I
explained.

"I see, when do we put this into action?"

"Factoring in the materials we need. I would say, tomorrow. Oh, I made a
list of the three things we will need for `code red" I handed Jade the list
letting him pick what he was to bring.

Yes! Our third member has came. The fun is only starting.

"Hey." Korbyn said finally focusing on me. " I had a huge argument with
Keylan." he was acting like he really didn't want to say much to me.

I never thought I would hear him say, ` he had an argument with Keylan.'
Let alone talk to me period! Whoa! He is talking to me. This is new, let's
see how things go.

"I was getting my bag from my locker minutes ago. I saw Keylan, David, and
Ryan prancing through the halls. I thought it was sloppy for them to play
the card, ` can't beat them join them' I didn't like what I was seeing. I
know you and I still hate each other. Nothings changed." he added." but
what I hate even more than you, is what they were doing. I had to give them
some knowledge." he scowled at me.

"so what was said?" Jade asked, excitedly.

" I said: hey power rangers. What brought you all to join forces?' I think
it ticked them off. David gave Keylan this glare. Then Keylan said:
`Korbyn, you look like a zombie. Go back to the two homos that sent you to
bother us!' so we argued badly."

"Are you serious?" Jade eyes got huge. He caught on to what Keylan referred
to us as. Keylan and those other two nobodies will feel the wrath of the
alpha!

"...and that's what I said before stopping here." Korbyn sighed.

Jade was furious," Bray, Korbyn, I say we find them, and shut them down
once and for all! Keylan is David's child. I knew Keylan was afraid of
David the night of the party." he was really letting it all out. Because
towards the end, He started hitting the table as he spoke.

I felt the same way Jade did, but now isn't the time to argue with the
three buffoons. Right now we stick to `code red'. when code red falls
through. We can directly attack. This whole clique rival thing. Is going to
get nasty. The final battle will tell who the real alpha is.

"No, Jade we wait. First we finish `code red'. Then we start planning for a
more direct attack on them."

The meeting went great. The three of us were able to orchestrate a counter
attack, just in case they try to attack us with a fast one.

I was walking the halls. When I passed Keylan. I was unbalanced at thought
about what Korbyn said. He could be lying about the whole argument
thing. He still hates me. This could be his way of trying a sneak attack.

I feel sorry for him if he is playing' keep your friends close, but your
enemies closer.' people are so deranged. they believe the saying means:
hanging out with your enemy. It actually means, keeping a closer eye on
your enemy. I know everything about being passive aggressive, and using
psychological abuse to tear someone down. Korbyn should know that.

Keylan walked by me rolling his eyes, giving me a smug look. I noted that
Korbyn didn't lie! David has poisoned their minds. Its okay, its fine,
because tomorrow my new clique will make horror and misery flock them.

I texted Mitch through my classes. I have to keep him on my side. I'm glad
he came to the `friends only' conclusion. The problem I'm facing with Mitch
is: he is begging for me to see his daughter. I really don't want to deal
with that.

In my last class my brain was putting an enemies list up. Ryan, was
added. Keylan too. Whenever my wrath is over I will cross their names
out. Which means, `they no longer exist.!'

"What are you planning?"

I see Korbyn sitting next to me. How does he know I'm planning? He is on to
me. I have to keep an eye open for him too. Should I put him on the enemies
list? I don't know something isn't right about him.

"Are you mad about what I told you earlier?" he tried again. I wasn't
familiar with him talking to me. I didn't know how to take it. I bottled up
my negativity, and talked to him. We had a conversation without one bad
remark. We laughed together once.

He never let up on the dirty looks. I could tell from the looks that he was
up to something. I fake smiled back at Korbyn writing in my mind
`frienemy!'
