Hello! This is my very first time writing fanfiction, and I have been reading some or different TV. Shows as a way for me to keep busy while the shows are in between season so I thought I would have a go at writing one for MTV's Awkward. I wanted to mix it up so here's my versions of the characters may be a little different but I hope you guys enjoy it. Also, I ship Matty and Jenna so they will most likely be the objects of my affection. Thank you.
This is a new start where Jenna doesn't know Matty or anyone yet she is just in her little group with Tamara and Ming. – I don't own MTV's Awkward.-
Sleeping beauty.
Having patients is a special thing, being able to sit somewhere and keep yourself occupied without picking at your nails or pulling faces making how mind numbingly bored you are clear to everyone around you. It just so happens Jenna had patients, especially when it came to waiting for people to show up. Those moments between her arrival and her friends arriving to the lunch table where pure heaven to her. Of course she was looking forward to seeing her friends, but if Tamara was too busy sassing her locker neighbor about how he needs to take his gym clothes home directly after use, then Jenna wasn't going to complain. She would sit there, earphones in, drawing pad out and just take in the air, no matter how polluted with cigarette smoke it was. Their designated table was in the back corner of the courtyard. 'At least we get to be in the sun?' Ming would always say on the days where the sun was hot enough to melt water.
Jenna looked up from her notepad and saw a little white face with thick red locks of hair bobbing past the crowded locker bays and not far behind was a fast walking Ming apologizing for Tamara's strong shoves. As Jenna watched Tamara, not so gracefully make her way over with Ming, Jenna noticed the biggest bully of them all. Sadie. Jenna wasn't one to judge appearances but she couldn't help but think, that for a big girl Sadie was a judgmental- for a lack of a better word -bitch. There she was standing in her turtle necked bright blue cheer leading outfit snarling at her little pet Lissa and then her little pet Jake, followed by the leader of them all Matty McKibben. Jenna had never spoken to him, except the one time she accidently head butted him in English class the year before, now she knows not to insist on picking up a pen after someone's already said "I got it."
Jenna lost track of Tamara and Ming due to the fact she was staring them down, 'the cool kids'. What made them so cool? Sadie just scared people into liking her, Lissa was a religious hoe, Jake was too innocent for them all and Matty… well that she could understand. Just looking at him made her feel like an ant that he could step on and not even notice, was it his muscles, his height maybe? Probably just his sharp face and perfect smile, Jenna thought to herself. Watching them with her headphones blasting, her eyes jumping from Sadie to Jake, Jake to Lissa, Lissa to Matty, when all the sudden Matty turned his head mid-laugh and linked eyes with Jenna. He held the glance at her and so did she until' Tamara snapped her out of her mesmerized state and brought her back in to reality by tearing out her headphones. Jenna sharply looked away from Matty and flipped close her book. Matty continued to look at her for a second longer with a faded smile on his face, before rubbing the back of his neck and jumping back into his conversation.
