Just a quick One Shot I thought of. Hope you like it and it's not too out of character. After the kiss in episode seven. Just imagine she was in the cooler for a different reason, not that Finn had been bullying Harry, else I don't think she would stay with him!
I pulled Jess into a hug.
"Sorry." She mumbled against my shoulder.
"Shut up." I whispered.
"It's just everything's such a mess!" she pulled away. "Mum, Dad, Harry!" she looked pained."I've been such a cow!" she cried.
"I'd say more like a panda." I smiled. She looked at me, and I brushed away her tear with my thumb. That was when we kissed.
I slammed the car door shut, lifting my bag onto my shoulder. Today had to be the day I talked to her. Otherwise I'd probably panic, and not be able to convince myself it was the right thing to do again. I searched through the crowds to find her before registration, but she was nowhere to be seen. A knot of frustration formed inside me. Where was she?
As the bell rang I knew I'd missed my opportunity to talk to her, at least until break. I couldn't ignore the hard pain in my chest, and the first two lessons passed with agonising slowness. I had to get everything off my chest before she fell for Finn. But with that arrogant boy cornering her to ask her out every second, I didn't stand much chance getting to talk to her alone.
Darting out of the classroom the second the bell for break rang, I felt a rush of relief as I saw her walking up ahead with Vicki. Shoving my way through everyone, I stepped lightly in front of her.
"Can I talk to you?" I asked, trying not to sound too desperate.
"Um, yeah." She glanced at Vicki. "I'll catch up with you." She told her.
"I-" I was just about to form my words when Finn came up behind her. Rage boiled inside me.
"Alright, babe?" he said, looking at me smugly. He knew. He knew I liked her!
"Yeah." She smiled. He kissed her on the cheek and the rage turned to pain. "What were you saying, Jonah?"
"Never mind." I said through gritted teeth. Turning away, I strode down the corridor.
"Jonah?" she called after me confusedly.
Work it out, Jess. I thought bitterly. Because there's no way I'm telling you now.
The rest of the day passed painfully. For the first time at this school I wish I could leave. There was no memory reflected in her eyes. That kiss meant nothing to her. She'd chosen Finn over me.
He wasn't there to wipe away her tears. I was. I had. And she'd still chosen him.
