Jenna's POV:
"I can't just break up with KC," I concluded. I watched as his face dropped, my heart sinking along with his features as they drooped in sadness. "What do I tell him? I like your best friend? And he likes me too?" I shook my head, rising from my seat beside him. I grabbed my messenger bag, hoisting it over my shoulder as I looked down at him. "We were the two people that weren't supposed to let him down, Drew." I sighed, taking note of how defeated the boy looked as he sat beneath me. "I'll figure something out, okay?" I told him, leaning down and pecking his cheek. "I promise."
I didn't want to leave him there. But I knew I had to. I followed the sidewalk walk all the way home, not looking back as I left. I knew there was nothing left to be said, I had to do the rest of the thinking for myself. My mind was screaming- telling me that this was wrong. That it wasn't supposed to be this way, though I knew in my heart it was right; it was what I wanted.
I pushed open the door to my bedroom, slidding the bag off my shoulder as I swung it shut. I dropped my bag beside my bed before hopping in, pulling the covers up over my body. I had a lot to think about. More often than not Drew was on my mind lately, that smile of his, those gorgeous eyes. But deep down I knew that shouldn't be the case. I should be thinking about KC Guthrie- the boy I've been with since my earliest days at Degrassi. Why couldn't I just be happy with him?
I never meant to fall for Drew. It somehow just happened- and it happened fast. It was the beginning of the year when he started hanging around. At that time I thought I was more than in love with KC, but I couldn't help but be intrigued by this new boy. Drew has this smile that could light up a room, these eyes that you just want to look into forever. I don't think a girl could deny being attracted to him. The more he hung around the more I started to like him, stealing glances at him while I was tucked under KC's arms, admiring him across the room as he'd sit surrounded by love-struck classmates. It didn't take him long to pull me right in.
I had always wondered about how Drew felt about me. Sometimes you just feel a spark between yourself and another person- leading you to go crazy wondering if something more was there. That's how I found myself feeling about Drew for a while. Always wondering why I'd catch him staring, why he seemed to smile at me in a different way than he would smile at anyone else. I wanted to know why I'd feel electrifyed when we'd touch... why I often found myself wishing I was with him rather than KC.
Drew kissed me the other day. It was spontaneous and wonderful and just left me wanting more. I still haven't figured out why he did it, but I'm more than glad he did. The last period bell sounded and I headed out of class to meet up with KC and the rest of our friends out front. I heard Drew calling my name, he wanted me to wait with him as he collected his things from his locker. I didn't object, not minding that we'd be spending some time alone. But I definitely wasn't expecting that kiss. I didn't know he'd turn to me- out of nowhere; press his lips to mine. Make goosebumps rise on my skin as he confirmed just about everything I'd been wondering about the two of us.
I sighed, biting down on my bottom lip. I squeezed my blue eyes shut; thinking about the mess I'd gotten myself into. How was I going to tell KC? What would I tell KC? Are things over between him and me? Where do Drew and I go from here? A million questions flooded my mind, but I only knew the answer to one. Drew and I were going to be together. I just needed to break the news to KC, and hope for the best.
So here's chapter two :3
I really am in love with the idea of Drew and Jenna, I just couldn't tell you why.
That aside, I hope you guys enjoy this!
