Chapter4:
Jenna was making her way over to her locker to grab her 5th period notebook. Her 5th period just happened to be science. While she was at her locker Seth stopped by.
"Hey." Jenna turned around smiling and said. "Hey."
"What lunch are you in?" Seth asked leaning against her locker. Jenna looked down at her paper. "2nd you?" Seth sighed. "3rd." Jenna closed her locker and replied. "That sucks." Seth nodded his head and walked along with her to her next class on the way he slid his hand into hers. Jenna looked up at him and smiled her returned it and they made it to her 5th period class. Seth looked down at her and smiled and gave her a quick peck.
"I'll see you later." Jenna smiled and watched him jog down the hall to his classroom. Jenna turned and saw a girl that was leaning against the chalkboard she looked like to be the rocker type of girl. Jenna smiled knowing that she might become friends with this girl.
"You must be the new girl." The girl stated walking up to Jenna. 'Yeah, Jenna Wolfe." The girl smiled and stuck out her hand. "Carmen Johanson. Come on, you can sit with me." Jenna smiled and followed the girl to the back of the classroom and sat down with her. As soon as the bell rang the teacher walked up and started writing notes on the first chapter on the board.
"So Jenna. Where you from?" Carmen asked scribbling some notes onto her notebook.
"Jersey." Carmen smiled and nodded her head. "Ah, so you're a Jersey girl." Jenna nodded her head.
"See any boys you think are cute?" Carmen asked. Jenna flipped to a new page in her notebook and replied. "Well I'm kind of already with this one guy."
"Kind of?" Carmen asked looking at her.
"Well we never officially went out on a date." Carmen laughed and said. "Oh I get it. So who's the lucky guy?"
"Seth Plummer."
"Ah, he's a keeper." Carmen stated. Jenna looked at her and was about to ask her something when the bell rang for their lunch.
Joe and Seth were sitting in Algebra class and Joe was throwing a paper football into the basket. He looked over to Seth and asked. "So have you asked Jenna out yet?" Seth looked at Joe and replied.
"Not yet. Why?"
"Well I was thinking what if we double date?"
"Who would you take?" Seth asked.
"Carmen Johanson." Seth smiled that was one of his best friends who happened to be his ex-girlfriend.
"Alright. Friday, rollerblading on the blvd?" Joe smiled.
"Yeah alright."
Carmen and Jenna were sitting at a table and they watched as the Preppy and slutty girls walked over to a certain table. Carmen scoffed and shook her head. Jenna was opened up he water bottle when she saw someone's hands in front of her tray on the table. Jenna looked up to see that Jock Ben.
"Jenna Wolfe." Jenna sighed and Carmen narrowed her eyes at Ben. "What are you doing Friday?" Jenna looked at him. She was getting really disgusted with this guy.
"Going to avoid you." Jenna answered. Carmen snickered. Ben just glared at Carmen.
"How about you and I go to the football game?"
"Was the answer to
the first question not a big enough hint for you?" She asked.
"Look I-
"She said no. She means no." Carmen said in a menacing tone. Ben looked at Carmen and gave her a short glare and stalked off.
"Thanks." Jenna said.
"It's alright." Carmen said with a smile.
"So why did you say Seth was a keeper earlier?" Jenna asked while picking around her macaroni and cheese.
"Seth and I used to date. But we broke up because we decided staying friends was much better. He's a good guy, he'd do anything for the people he care's about most." Carmen answered.
The Bell rang telling them to get to class. Jenna and Carmen stood up and threw their Styrofoam trays away. They were walking out of the cafeteria in the hallways and Jenna saw Seth and Joe, Seth smiled and walked past her while giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. Carmine smiled at Joe who just winked at her. Carmen saw Seth and Jenna and she stated.
"He's a romantic at heart." Jenna smiled and Carmen laughed and said. "Come on, we got to get to class."
After school Carmen was talking with Jenna near her locker.
"Seriously you should come check out my band." Jenna smiled as Carmen handed her the banner.
"Okay, I'll check it out. Saturday right?"
"Yeah. Let me see your cell." Carmen said. Jenna quickly gave her the cell phone. Jenna watched as Carmen typed her cell number in there and gave it back to her. Jenna shoved it back into her purple Jansport backpack.
"I'll text you later tonight." Jenna nodded her head and the two made their way to the exit of the school.
"Wait, where's the drama department?" Jenna asked. Carmen stopped and looked at her. "I'll show ya." Carmen then led her down the hallway.
"So why you going to drama?"
"I'd figure I'd try out." Carmen smiled.
"You'll be happy when you're in there." Carmen stated referring to Seth.
"Oh yeah? Why?"
"Seth." Carmen said when she stopped in front of the room. Jenna looked at her with a puzzled look. Carmen smiled and shoved her into the room and jogged back towards the exit while saying.
"Talk to you later Jenna!" Jenna smiled and turned around to see a ton of her classmates sitting around in chairs and she looked on the stage to see her uncle standing there with a clipboard in his hand and a whistle around his neck. He smiled at her and said.
"Well I welcome you all to drama. We will be having try-outs for the spring musical." Jenna's eyes trailed off her uncle and onto the teenager sitting on the stage a few feet away. She smiled seeing Seth sitting there with Joe. Seth turned to her and smiled and beckoned her towards him.
"Hey Seth." Jenna said. Seth smiled as Jenna sat down next to him and he placed his arm around her shoulders. "Hey Jenna." Jenna looked to Seth's left and saw Joe sitting there with his black spiked hair and light blue eyes.
"So Joe (ha that rhymes) you trying out?" Joe sighed and looked over at Jenna.
"Yeah, I kind of lost a bet." Jenna laughed and shook her head. Seth smiled as Shane was handing out the yellow paper.
Jenna looked at hers and it had a list of when the tryouts were going to be held. It didn't say what the musical was yet, but she was going to try and get it out of Shane.
Jenna was sitting in her room and was working on her health when she received a call on her cell phone.
"Talk to me."
"It's Carmen."
"Hey! What's up?" Jenna asked throwing her health essay aside. Carmen on the other end of the phone was trying to correct her lyrics.
"Uh, just correcting some mistakes in some lyrics and I'd thought I'd call you. I'm pretty bored." Jenna smiled and laughed.
"Hey, I got a question for you."
"Shoot."
"Would you try out for the spring musical?"
"Why?"
"I don't know maybe it's because it's a musical and uh, you can sing since your in a band." Jenna stated while laughing.
"That's a good point."
"OK great! I'll send you the schedule. Bye!" Jenna smiled when she hung up her phone and she grabbed her paper and walked over to her laptop and sat down in her chair and typed up the schedule and sent it as a email to Carmen.
Carmen sighed and said to herself. "I never said I'd do the musical!"
Jenna was still on her laptop playing spider solitaire. She looked out her window and looked in the window that was straight across the street from hers, she smiled seeing Seth shirtless tossing a few clothes around. She picked up her phone and dialed his number while still watching him. Seth stopped hearing his cell phone ring and looked around his desk he smiled seeing who it was calling.
"Hey you." He answered. Jenna smiled and replied.
"Hello to you too."
"What are you doing?" He asked sitting on the edge of his desk.
"Look out your window." Seth had a confused face and turned to his window and looked outside to see Jenna smiling back at him from her window.
He just smiled at her. "Look I got to go, work on an essay. I'll talk to you later alright?" Jenna stated.
"Yeah alright." Seth said.
"Bye."
"Bye." Jenna smiled and closed her blinds as he did and before she went back to her essay she walked downstairs to look for Shane's clipboard. She saw it sitting by Claire's coffee. She walked over to it and saw Shane's foot slam onto it.
"Not so fast Jenna." Jenna looked at him an sighed.
"Please! Please tell me!"
"Nope."
"Bu-
"No."
"Please."
"Don't you have homework to do?" Jenna sighed and turned back around and walked back upstairs to her room.
