Bridget sitting next to Jet at the stadium stands next to him awkwardly not sure how to stand, so she sits down again, shifting around not sure how to sit, or what to say, but he is focused on the empty field here to watch Axel's game soon to start. She notices people rushing to her friends, the Diamonds, they are actors of a kids fiction by the same name. They have been part of the Diamonds franchise since they were 10 years old, Luna included, they started as voice actors, and grew with it, into a live action series.
When it was time to turn it into a live action, the group voted Luna out and replaced her with Milani Smarts, Milton's sister, the same Milton who is Luna's boyfriend.
For the second season they plotted behind Bridget's back to have her character killed off and she will be replaced by Andy Giovanna in the coming 3rd season, the producers have confirmed it.
"You okay?" Jet asks Bridget, and his eyes follow her line of sight, "Oh." He looks at the sad expression on her face, she has been putting on a big smile, it's the first time he has taken time to notice how she feels about being kicked out.
"Move Bitches!"
The sound of Luna's voice fills the air.
Jet looks at Luna walking towards them, he never paid attention to her either, she must have been hurting even worse than Bridget when she was kicked out of the group, and she had a heartless boyfriend too. One word from him and things would have been different, but he did nothing.
"You look Great Luna." Bridget is back to her chipper attitude again.
Jet cringes, he is uncomfortable seeing Luna in her boyfriends clothes. The shoes are the only thing that is hers, "You look amazing." But, it rubs him the wrong way he decides to focus on Bridget, "Hey, Luna didn't let it stop her, and guess what, you didn't either." He looks at Bridget to avoid looking at Luna. She really looks great. The clothes excluded, her skin is glowing, her hair is in a clean and neat high ponytail. Her smile just puts a smile on his face. He could admire her for hours, so he looks away instead.
Bridget smiles, it looks so real, if Jet didn't see a glimpse of how she really feels, he would believe she is okay.
"Don't," he looks Bridget in the eyes, "Don't do that." Jet feels his heart breaking for her, "Do not pretend, what they did was wrong, it hurts. It's okay for it to hurt." He takes her hand, "You're with me now, I promise you. It will be better than being Hilary's slave. You chose to stand up for yourself, you made the right decision. Don't you dare feel bad for standing up for yourself."
Bridget looks down, "No, I'm not hurt." She takes her hand back and faces the front. Kicking herself in the brain, he held her hand, which is exactly what she wanted, but than she took her hand back. She is screaming internally.
Luna sits next to her, "Hey." She holds up marking pens and blank drawing boards, "You better be here to scream your lungs out. We are going to be the loudest supporters here."
"Oh, no." Jet who wants to watch the game quietly looks at Helia and Jack sitting next to him talking about a case concerning Axel's teammates. Jack stole files on the case from his father's office.
"Is his injury bad?" Jet asked about the recent player who is now in hospital and had to miss the game.
"Seems unnatural. He is not the only one with the same issue." Helia speaks softly.
Jet glances at the file, "We unfortunately can't do anything about this sudden issue of team members having serious injuries from harmless minor accidents."
Helia nods, "Only the best players are getting these issues."
"It's happening in a school, so it's our mess to clean up." Jack looks at Jet, he didn't steal the files to admire what iwritten n inside, he wants to do something.
"I agree with Jack. It is happening in High School. We're the ones who should handle this matter." Helia shares the same feelings as Jack, unfortunately they will have to drop it if Jet disagrees.
"I'm just not ready to involve the girls yet, so keep them out of this until we have returned from our Moon Island trip." Jet looks at Luna absorbed in her placard creating.
Jack notices Milton with his best friend, Nadi Naga, walking towards them. Nadi Naga brought his sister, she will be in the same class at their next school.
Helia smiles noticing Jack's eyes glued on Nadi's sister "She's gorgeous." He nudges Jack to stop looking. He's over doing it.
Jack looks at Helia, "What?" He barely heard what Helia said.
"Her name is Sabine. She is Naga's half sister. They were separated after their father died, and each one went to live with their mother. They recently reunited. She is the top scorer at the entrance exams." Helia smiles at his cousin and nudges him again. Jack's crush is obvious.
"Do you background check everyone you meet?" Jack asks threatened by Helia's knowledge about his crush, and all he knows is her name, "Why did you even investigate her?" He is a little disturbed by the range of information Helia gathered in the short amount of time since knowing Sabine.
Helia laughs, "No, only the girls my cousin is crazy about. She's good." He gives his approval.
The rival team across the stadium is already singing. Their side still has people fawning over the Diamonds.
"I'd rather be at home." Helia slouches in his seat.
"I have never watched a game live. Is it good?" Jack asks Jet.
"No idea, it's the first time I've been allowed to be surrounded by so many people." Jet looks at Luna, "Well, I am already fearful for my ears."
Helia puts his headphones on.
Jack looks at Sabine next to her brother and looks away when she turns her head like she could sense his eyes on her.
The Diamonds make their way to the front and sit in the same line as Jet and everyone else.
Hilary October, the leader of the group smiles at Jet and greets him. He ignores her, and that makes her panic a little. Jet has always been nice to her, but she heard rumors that recently he has no kind words for her, or about her.
"Hey guys." Mira Agate, who is Hilary's new number one after replacing Bridget who held the position since early childhood. Her greeting was extended specifically to the boys.
When she gets no answer she starts paying attention to what the boys are doing, she notices Helia has his headphones on. Jack is on his phone and Jet is making a placard.
"Oh, what a coincidence you guys are here." Luna's twin sister, Aruna, says demanding attention by spinning around and striking a pose, and moving around constantly, but Jet's group does not glance her way. She sits down confused, she never struggles to get attention, "What are they doing?" She means either than admiring her beauty and fawning over the privilege to even be in the same space as her.
The Diamonds are confused by the lack of attention from Jet specifically. He is the next leader of White Lotus, he is their future leader.
The Diamonds heard a rumor Jet will be selecting his future Alpha's, and unlike traditionally, he will be giving females prominent roles, and the Diamonds want to get close to Jet so that they can curry favour with Akira and be talked about in White Lotus very highly.
Hilary has the ambition to be the decision maker of White Lotus, and getting close to Jet is key. Lately she has been thinking about being married to the Head of White Lotus, but Jet showing no attention to her is upsetting.
Milani smiles, "Hey guys. I found Andy."
Andy sees Jet with her own eyes and gasps. He is good looking, "Wow!"
"What?" Milani asks, and notices the wedding bells floating around Andy's head, "Jet, meet Andy."
Jet looks at her and responds by nodding his head.
Aruna waves at fans, "Being out in public like this is so strange. I miss when I wasn't famous."
"When were you never famous?" Andy raises a brow, "You are the daughter of a member of White Lotus, the company that runs this city. The government takes orders from you."
Aruna smiles, "That's the thing. My father is the tech genius. Not me. I finally have my own identity. I used to Come out here all the time and no one knew who I was." She points at Luna, "No one knows who she is. I'm so glad we're fraternals. We look nothing alike, she would pretend to be me if she had my looks." She laughs and all the Diamonds laugh too.
Jet raises his head overhearing what Aruna said. He is about say something, but Luna stops him by drawing on his hand. He gives her a worried look, their relentless bullying has gotten out of hand. He feels like it is partly his fault for never doing anything in the first place.
"Luna didn't have a problem getting a boyfriend without your looks. You need to tone it down, you're not the best looking one in this group. It's obviously me." Hilary smiles and turns to see what Jet thinks about that, but he is staring at Luna like she is the most beautiful thing he has ever seen, and that makes her blood boil. She glares at the Diamonds, "What do you think?"
All the girls agree awkwardly, reserving their opinions on the matter.
"Oh, the teams are coming out. It's starting." Mira says to relieve the tension.
Andy glances at Jet with a confused expression on his face when Luna is drawing a mustache on his face, and slightly smiles seeing his smile.
Milani noticing Andy's infatuation ignores it and faces the front. Things are tense enough as it is, making Hilary aware of Andy's crush will create issues for everyone. She didn't think being part of the group would be like this. She is suffocating, but doesn't want to leave. She likes the fame and attention, she just wishes she didn't have to put up with Hilary too.
Hilary tries to join the placard making activity and Jet wards her away with a single glance, "Sorry." She sits down with a tight teeth smile. She is popular to the world, she is shocked to be humbled that in White Lotus she is nobody. None of the Alpha's sons even acknowledge her presence. Helia is actually sleeping and Jack is relocating to sit next to Sabine.
Bridget stands up with her placard.
Luna joins her.
Jet holds up his placard. It is the White Lotus Insignia.
Axel on the field hearing his name being called turns and notices that Jet actually came to watch him. He smiles at Luna, she never misses a single game.
Katsuki laughs when Luna has a placard with his name on it. He waves at her, and is startled by the number of girls who scream, "Since when am I popular?"
"Don't you know Iris? When Luna Silver says you're cute, every girl in this city will want to date you." Axel jogs slowly, the team is relying on him. Their opponents are known as the fastest runners in the junior league tournament this year. All their players could compete with sprinters.
Katsuki sighs worried hiding his injury could cost him the game, his strategy is to focus on one touch passes. He will limit his movements in the first half and in the second half play seriously.
