A/N: Here's the second chapter and I'm still going strong! Though I can't promise that things will be this quickly thrown out later on. The starter chapters are always the easiest for me.
"So, how did it go?" asked Jen, raising both eyebrows at Caitlynn.
Caitlynn beamed at Jen, but didn't say anything. Instead, she hopped up onto the edge of the counter and tilted her head backwards, so that she could look at the other girl. And then she waited.
Waited.
Waited.
Waited - until Jen finally gave a loud sigh, laying down the golf club that she had been fiddling with. "Alright, you have my attention. But get off the counter, will you? I just finished cleaning the oil off of that."
Obliginely, Caitlynn hopped off the counter and turned to face her friend. "Jen, I was right! I was so, totaly right! Jonesy has a major crush!"
"Does he?" asked Jen, moving out from behind the counter and heading towards the jersey section. "On who?"
Caitlynn trailed after the other girl, pulling her bottom lip into her mouth and biting it. "Oh, I don't know if I should say. It's kind of a secret. Then again, he did say that Nikki could know, so I guess I can tell you too."
"Either spit it out or get out, Caitlynn. I am super busy this evening. The coach is all over me today." said Jen, absently.
Another moment of silence, and then Caitlynn couldn't keep it to herself any longer. "Jonesy has a crush on Jude!"
Jen paused, hands slowly lowering from the hangars. Turning around, she tilted her head at Caitlynn, the strangest look crossing her face. "What did you just say?"
"I said that Jonesy really, really likes Jude!" repeated Caitlynn, eagerly.
"But - I thought that he...He's always chasing after all of the girls." muttered Jen, unsure of what else she should be saying. "And, I mean, didn't he like Nikki?"
Caitlynn shook her head. "I guess that he doesn't. So, listen, I was thinking that we should help him out. I mean, Jonesy's always doing really nice stuff for me and I don't think that he knows what he should do here. Has he ever seriously liked someone?"
Jen just stared at her, in silence.
"Exactly." said Caitlynn, with a nod. "So I'm going to set them up! And you're going to help me!"
Somehow or another, Jen found herself sitting in the food court, across from a jabbering Caitlynn. And, if she was being honest with herself, she really wasn't even sure what was going on.
One moment, she was sifting through jerseys and the next moment, she was being drug through the mall and Jonesy was interested in dating Jude. And maybe that wasn't the oddest thing to come out of the blonde's mouth, but it was far up there on the list.
After all, this was Jonesy they were talking about. The boy that had coined an entire phrase for himself, just because there wasn't a strong enough word to describe his skirt-chasing ways. This was the man that had gotten a job at Not Quite Naked, just so he could stare at women as they changed - not once, but twice!
This was Jonesy!
And maybe Jen would have been able to follow that train of thought and work things out herself, but Caitlynn was bolting out of her seat and grinning like a fool.
"That's it! You're a genius, Jen!" said Caitlynn, clasping her hands together in front of her. "We'll go on the down-low and watch the two of them for a little bit, and then figure out how to get them together that way! It'll be so perfect, and I just know that Jonesy's going to be thanking us for this later."
A well-manicured hand wrapped around Jen's wrist and the girl found herself back on her feet and being hauled through the mall once more.
