When they saw Jett step out of the car, Nicolas and Caleb were both taken aback.
They knew Jett, but they hadn’t spent much time with him.
Still, they were well aware he was a loose cannon-he could totally lose it sometimes.
The Kingsley family had been put through the wringer by him more than once.
Even Dustin, who was pretty close to him, had been screwed over by Jett before.
When Jett went off the rails, he didn’t care who he hurt-friends or foes, it was all the same to
him.
‘Seriously, why did Nicole bring this psycho along?’ Nicolas and Caleb both thought.
The host invited Nicole and Jett to take their seats up front.
As soon as Jett spotted Nicolas and Caleb, he flashed a grin and called out, “Well, look who it is-the runner-up pretty boy and the wimp who always hides behind his sister.”
‘Did he really just call us that?
‘Seriously, did he just call us the runner-up pretty boy and the wimp?’ Nicolas and Caleb both thought, totally speechless.
The host heard Jett’s comment and thought, ‘Well, Nicole sure didn’t bring an easy one-this guy’s definitely a handful.’
But honestly, the more drama, the better for the show.
Right then, the host got a cue from Marley through his earpiece.
He turned to Jett with a smile and asked, “So, who’s the runner-up pretty boy?”
As for the wimp who always hides behind his sister, everyone already knew exactly who that
was.
But because of the Hammond family, the host figured he’d better not put Caleb on the spot— no need to embarrass him.
Jett grinned and said, “Come on, everyone knows our runner-up pretty boy is Nicolas.
“And as for the number one heartthrob? You all know him-Jason Farrell, CEO of Lucent Media,”
Nicolas’s face darkened. “Wait, when did we start giving out awards for campus heartthrobs?

Why was I never told about this?”
‘Man, this guy is just so damn annoying.
‘And of course, he always knows how to bring up the stuff I hate most, Nicolas thought.
Right now, Nicolas hated Jason the most.
Jett just laughed. “Everyone at school voted for it!”
He added, trying to sound reassuring, “Come on, don’t feel bad. It’s just that Jason’s a bit more handsome, that’s all. Nothing to be ashamed of.”
Nicolas was speechless. ‘Seriously, that was worse than saying nothing at all.
‘How am I not as good-looking as Jason? This guy must be blind, Nicolas thought.

Before Nicolas could even respond, Jett jumped in again. “But that was before I transferred. If I’d been there, you guys wouldn’t have even made the list.”
Nicolas had no words. “I don’t know if you’d ever be campus heartthrob material, but one thing’s for sure—your ego is way bigger than ours.”
Not wanting to get dragged into more nonsense, Nicolas changed the subject. “Why don’t you guys grab a seat? The next group should be arriving soon.”
Jett slid into the seat next to him. “Is Alicia up next?”
Nicolas really didn’t want to talk to him, but since Jett asked, he just muttered, “Yeah.”
Jett grinned and teased, “So, I heard Alicia ditched you and even swore she’d never tie the knot with you. Is that for real?”
He pretended to look all disappointed. “Had something come up and missed Leo’s birthday bash. Man, what a bummer. I bet it was wild.”
Nicolas’s face grew even darker. He shot Jett a cold glare. “Seriously, nobody’s gonna think you’re mute if you just shut up.”
Nicolas knew Jett was after Nicole, so he was clearly doing it on purpose just to mess with him.
But right now, this was the last thing he wanted to talk about.
Jett just burst out laughing. “Hey, can’t help it-I’m not the silent type. Talking’s kinda my thing.
“Honestly, it’s probably for the best you and Alicia aren’t getting married. Maybe you and
