There was total silence. No one spoke.
Jade arched her eyebrow.
' Didn't you hear me? I said introduce yourself.' Jade says as she bangs the table with her hand and it breaks in two while unleashing villainous aura that made people feel intimidated.
The boys starting talking at the same time.
' Silence. You introduce them to me.' Jade says randomly pointing to a camper.
The camper stood up.
' My name is George Woods. This is Harold James,....' George listed names but she was interested in only four. Tyler Brown, Justin Carter and Matt Jones were her right hand men in the book. They stayed with her when others fell for Ruby's "kind nature."
While Josh Mark was sent here by Wendy Thompson to make her life hell.
' .... Marcus and Jayden Lincoln.' George finished reciting the names.
Jade looked at Jayden Lincoln. This was the male lead's cousin. He was the only one from the male lead's family who treated "her" politely.
According to the book, he was introverted and was unpopular amongst his peers. He had met the original Jade at this camp.
She looked at him silently.
' Jayden Lincoln. Come with me. The rest of you can go to your camps.' Jade says as she put picks her luggage.
' Let me get that for you.' Justin says smiling in a silly way.
' Good Good Good. You adapt very quickly. Very good.' Jade says as she pats his back and hands him her luggage. She took Jayden Lincoln's hand and led him to the grove near camp.
She missed a very important detail in the book and she had to confirm it.
' Wh.. Wh.. What's wr.. wrong Miss?' Jayden stammered.
Yes one clue found. Jade said in her mind.
She leaned her face close to his.
' What are you doing?' Jayden says and takes two steps back.
Another clue found.
Jade studied his face silently.
System Jade couldn't take it anymore.
' What are you doing?' She said.
' JT this boy is faking.' Jade replied.
' What is he faking?' System Jade asks.
' When I saw him earlier, he was looking down as if he was nervous. But he wasn't.' Jade replies.
' How do you know?' System Jade asks.
' My grandmother is a psychologist and I'm an actress. Let me explain. No matter how scared or nervous someone is, their curiousity will subdue it. But he looked down all the time as though he was trying to make everyone think he was scared. And his body was stiff because it was not a natural act.
Secondly when someone is stammering while nervous, they are either speechless, talk slowly or stammer at least once. Furthermore when he taught I was leaning in to kiss him, his reflex wasn't of a clumsy person and he lost his stammer.
Thirdly look at his hair. It is the kind of styling we give to actors who are acting impoverished, nerdy or geeky. The whole style looks clumsy and unfashionable as if the person has no idea how to take care of himself but if you look at his hair, they are cut evenly and combed and even gelled to stay put. Next look at his clothes, they aren't designer clothes but custom made with dark colours that look faded but it is of excellent quality. I discreetly touched it to feel it. Finally look at his glasses, to be able to know about the existence of this camp, his family should be well off. They should be able to get good looking medicated glasses. In short, I think for some reason he's trying to make everyone look down on him.' Jade explained.
System Jade thinks about it and says,
' It seems you are not as stupid as you seem.'
' Does that mean that Jayden Lincoln might be the powerful backer of the main leads? It seems I have to win him over.' Jade says. Who would have thought that his harmless looking boy was capable of holding the falling sky with one hand?
Jayden was still unaware that he had been exposed. He was looking at the girl in front of him from his peripheral vision. Why was she looking at him like he was an artwork? Did her mother tell her something about him?
