Note: I think Dino and Jackie should quit their bitchin and get back together. Unfortunately, I can't do that. But Deb can. HO HAR! How do you like them apples?!

Disclaimer: ...What's the point? You know it, I know it. Blah. I own nothing.

Jackie furrowed her eyebrows and desperately tried to concentrate. Her pencil tapped the table over and over again, and ever so often, she cocked her head to the left slightly, and stole one more glance at him.

Him, as in scum of the earth, typical alpha male, Dino Whitman. He just sat there, oblivious to Mr. Chang's lecture, to the assignment, to the chemicals. But, this does not bother Jackie. No. What bothers her most of all, is that he sits there, oblivious to her.

So Jackie straightens up, and tries to sit as he does, ignoring everything else in her surroundings. She takes a deep breath, and stops tapping her pencil. She's been through enough with Dino and his selfish antics. Jackie tells herself that she's over it. She tells herself that she won't ever try to steal glances at him anymore. He's not worth it, she repeats in her mind. 'He's so not worth it.'

"Look at her. She's devastated."

"Maybe she just had something bad for lunch."

Deb swivelled toward her boyfriend. He leaned back a bit, fearful of what she might do to him. Jonathan twirled his pencil in his hands nervously waiting for Deb to react.

"Are you joking?" Deb states, "she wants to hook up with him again."

Jonathan shrugged. "Then let them hook up again," he said, trying to take notes on the differences of fusion and fission.

"They can't just 'hook up' again." Deb said, extending an arm toward Jackie and Dino. "She just went pretty far with Matt, and Dino the wanker is with that skank Zoe. So, no, Jonathan. They can't just hook up again."

"Okay, fine. Whatever. Just let her deal with it, okay?" said Jonathan, turning to a fresh sheet of looseleaf. He continued, "Dino is Jackie's problem, okay? Not yours."

Deborah threw her pen down. "Not my problem? Not my problem?! Need I remind you that he was sniffing my bra not too long ago?"

Jonathan smiled and shook his head. He remembered, and he'd rather not be reminded with any elaborate details. "Okay, I know. But I told you I set him straight."

For the time being, Deb surrendered and listened to Mr. Chang drone on and on about their new assignment. His words floated in one ear and out the other, so Deborah switched her attention to Jackie and Dino, once again.

Jackie was hunched over their desk, her eyes fixed on a blank sheet of paper. She bit her lower lip as her feet swung back and forth beneath her.

'She's so into him,' thought Deborah silently. 'I don't know why, though. He's a little jerk off.' Deb shifted her eyes to Dino.

He looked like he was taking really good notes, but upon Deb's closer examination, he was playing tic tac toe with himself. And instead of X's and O's, he drew–

'Gross! Dino is such a pervert! How can Jackie still have feelings for him? It's not like he actually cared for her in return.'

Believe it or not, the bell rang signaling the end of class. Dino quickly gathered his books and practically bolted out of the room. Jackie sighed as she packed her things.

Jackie did not want to admit it, but she still had feelings for Dino. But every time she pictured him and her together again, Zoe from Lincoln would pop up and Dino would rush her to Chang's room. Jackie frowned. She wanted so badly to run into the bathroom and slide down the wall of the stall and just cry. But she refused. She would not shed another tear because of him. She would no longer think of him instead of homework. And why should she? He never thought of her when he was with Zoe.

Right?

Ok, I know. Lame, right? Well, whatever. Just review and tell me if I should take this down or not.
