Amanda hastily arranged her features into a polite mask. She gave Jessie a smile which did not reach her eyes. Jessie just rolled her eyes which caused Kyle to frown at her.

"Hey Amanda" greeted Kyle

"Hi Kyle" she replied in a sweet voice. She then turned towards Jessie and asked in a fake bright tone.

"Hey Jessie did you already have lunch?"

"No" she replied shortly. The brunette was not interested to indulge in fake conversation with Kyle's precious Amanda. She knew that that the blonde was pretending for the sake of Kyle. She was aware both of them were looking at her in an odd way. Amanda shared a look with Kyle and shrugged her shoulders as if to say don't say I didn't try. Kyle gave Jessie a reproachful look. Jessie just gave him an icy stare and said flatly.

"Am getting late for lunch Kim must be waiting for me".

Before they could reply Jessie turned around and was already making her way towards Kim.

Kyle watched her retreating back with a defeated look. He then turned towards Amanda and asked her about her day. Within minutes both were engrossed in talking and laughing. Kyle decided that he would talk to Jessie later.

Jessie sat down besides Kim and immediately started eating her lunch. Kim looked at her with amusement and said teasingly.

"Hmmm…someone is in a crappy mood".

She earned a glare from Jessie but then she gave her a half-hearted smile.

"You won't believe it."

Kim could see that her friend was sad and asked hesitantly.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Jessie gave her a sad smile but said nothing and Kim did not force her. They both ate their lunch in silence. After a few minutes Jessie cleared her throat to get her attention. She then proceeded to narrate her unrequited love for Kyle who loved Amanda. Kim listened to her patiently.

"Oh jess am so sorry for you…I don't think that I like Amanda" she added thoughtfully.

Jessie laughed at her admission and said in a fake serious tone.

"Don't say anything wrong about her. She is Kyle's precious Amanda"

"Oh whatever. Kyle seemed to be too good for her and it's a bit tragic that he has fallen for her" wailed Kim dramatically. Both laughed. Jessie continued their joke.

"Not to mention She Who Shall Not Be Named has also made it clear to me that she intends to gain him back. Poor me."

Both burst out laughing. Jessie temporarily forgot about her problems.
