Jennie cleaned the kitchen, Including Lisa stolen plate. She couldn't believe how selfish and inconsiderate she was. She should have known better than to leave her plate sitting out for her, she should be counting her blessings she'd only stolen the plate of food and not put anything disgusting in it.
Solar her blonde bombshell of a one night stand had handed Jennie her number telling her to give it to Lisa. Jennie had considered it until she had pulled that stunt, instead she'd waited until she'd left the room and then had ripped up the small piece of paper.
The rest of the day was uneventful, her mom and Marco were away for two weeks on their honeymoon. The house was theirs for those two weeks and yet Jennie couldn't think of a single thing to do.
Her phone chirped and she swiped it off the counter.
Jiyong: You busy tomorrow?
A small thrill filled her, Jiyong was her boyfriend. They'd only been dating a couple months, he was the hot jock who played football and was on the wrestling team. He was the guy all the girls dropped their panties for.
Jennie: No. You should come over. My Mother and my step dad are gone, going to their honeymoon.
Jiyong: ok
Walking back to her room she shut her door quietly behind her not wanting to wake the beast. One year, all she had to do was make it for one year, she'd graduate high school and then she could move and she'd hopefully never have to see Lisa again.
Why did she hate her so much?
What had she ever done to her?
Walking over to her window she glanced out and down at the backyard. The tent was being taken down by whoever her mother had hired. The yard was being cleaned up and the chairs were being folded and placed in a large moving truck. The sun was bright and she was sure it was as humid as it was yesterday. Thank god for air conditioning.
Pulling out the book she'd been reading she sat back on her bench and strove to finish it. Hours flew past and before she knew it the dark blue night time sky was setting.
She began feeling anxious and happy, it had been atleast a week since she'd last seen Jiyong and she couldn't wait to see him again. Summer break seemed to push people away since you didn't see them everyday like you did in school.
Someone pounded on her door and it rattled from the force. She had one guess as to who was behind it and she knew her guess was likely right. Throwing her book on the bench she stood up and through the door open.
Lisa stood in the doorframe naked from the waist up, her lower half covered by black basketball shorts, her hair disheveled and her eyes were red. Jennie gaped at her. She couldn't believe she'd do that in her home!
"I'm hungry. Can you make brownies?" She asked leaning against the door frame.
"What? Are you kidding?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding?"
"You're high" she accused.
"You're observant"
Jennie so badly wanted to hit her but seeing as she'd done so last night it probably wasn't such a good idea to poke an already irritated bear.
She was about to respond as her bedroom door opened and two familiar heads poked out before coming to stand behind Lisa. Jackson and Bambam were Lisa best and only friends. Jackson looked like a blonde surf god where as Bambam looked like a computer nerd.
Bambam had thick rimmed glasses, short dark hair, he almost always wore some kind of character shirt and his pants always seemed to be hiked a little to far up. He was kind of attractive in his own nerdy way, but he just wasn't her type. Jackson was your classic dark tanned, long golden locks and buff body surfer boy. He had a pretty deep voice and had been Bambam friend the longest. He'd been one of the first people Lisa had brought over the few times him and his dad had visited. Bambam and Jackson went to Lisa old school.
"Hey Jennie" Jackson greeted with a friendly smile.
"Hi" Bambam said, he was still super shy around her.
"So can you make brownies?" Lisa asked again.
"You're making us brownies?!" Jackson asked suddenly excited, she could practically see the drool dropping down his chin.
"I really don't wa-"
Lisa cut her off sharply, "I knew it. Miss priss is to stuck up to help her new step sister"
Jennie crossed her arms and planted herself firmly in place, "Excuse me? Maybe if said step sister asked nicely i wouldn't mind helping but until-"
"Please, will you make us brownies?" She muttered looking down at the floor.
Jennie blinked at her a few times completely blown away, she never expected her to actually ask politely and now she couldn't turn her down after she'd actually done it.
She moved around her and headed down the stairs to the kitchen.
Maybe if she did something nice for her she'd actually change her ways. With that in mind she set to her task.
All three of them filed into the kitchen, all their eyes were red and they looked relaxed. That was something she'd never seen Lisa do, relax.
It was odd, as the brownies baked, she watched her. Her eyes stayed glued to her form. It unnerved her. Her skin prickled with awareness.
"So how was the wedding?" Bam asked, his eyes were also glued to her.
Jennie shrugged, "It was alright"
Lisa made a noise deep in her throat, one of disbelief.
"What?" She asked leaning forward on to the counter.
She shook her head, " just alright? That wedding had to come to atleast twenty thousand if not more. I doubt you actually believe it was just alright. I can see it now, your wedding will cost twice as much"
Jennie ground her teeth, trying to stay calm. She thought she knew her but she didn't.
"It was alright" she said again. She wasn't going to get into another argument with her. Lisa scuffed but atleast she stayed quiet after that.
When the timer beeped she took the brownies out and placed them on the stove. "Enjoy" she muttered before she escaped back to her room. She could feel her eyes on her as she walked out. Did she expect her to stay?
The following afternoon Jennie was a bundle of nerves. She couldn't wait to see Jiyong She'd pulled out a nice jean skirt and a red top. She pulled her hair back in a pony tail just as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it" she yelled stepping out of her bathroom.
She jogged down the steps and came up short as she came upon Lisa and Jiyong chatting like old pals.
"Hey" she said smiling softly at Jiyong She wanted to forget Lisa was there but of course that was impossible.
"holy shit Jiyong I think she just creamed her panties for you"
Jennie face turned a dark shade of red. Embarrassment clawed at her and she suddenly felt sick to her stomach.
"Dude not cool"Jiyong spoke, he moved forward into the house coming to stand in front of Jennie, she felt the hard grip of his hand as he tugged her from the large entry way through the dining room, past the kitchen and out the back door.
"Thanks" she muttered still completely horrified. She hated having Lisa around.
Jiyong stepped away from her dropping her hand as if she'd burned him.
Jennie watched him, silently questioning him.
What was wrong with him? Why was he acting so odd?
A warm breeze blew around them as they stood on the back porch. The summer heat was harsh and took your breath away. Surprisingly the grass was still a healthy green.
"Jiyong is everything ok?" She asked. She stared into his dark brown eyes and she just knew. He was done. He used you, a small voice whispered at the back of her head.
He sighed heavily and Jennie heart began to thunder against her chest, that wasn't a good sign. He rubbed the back of his neck wearily before looking back up at her.
"Please don't" she said.
"I'm done Jennie, I-i just don't feel the same way anymore" he said.
What a liar, she thought bitterly.
"Are you serious?!" She shouted coming to stand in front of him.
His posture became tight and rigid as he faced her, "Yes" his eyes darkened and the Jiyong she'd heard rumors about peeked out, "I wanted sex. You gave it up, I'm done" he barked out. He sounded cold and detached.
A sob escaped, she'd been a virgin a short while ago, her feelings had advanced quickly and she thought she'd been in love. Now looking back she realized how foolish she'd been. She hadn't been in love she simply hadn't wanted him to get bored and leave, so she'd given herself to him.
She should have waited.
"Leave" she demanded wiping a stray tear from her cheek.
Jiyong didn't need to hear anything else, turning on his heel he walked off the patio and disappeared around the house.
Jennie waited until he'd disappeared to bury her face in her hands, her shoulders shook and she let it out. Tears fell, her heart ached, stomach cramped and she desperately wanted to dive back into bed. When school started back up, she'd have to face him, and all the rumors that came with being his ex.
Jennie wasn't necessarily heartbroken, she was more embarrassed than anything else.
The back door slid open and shut and Jennie tensed, quickly trying to wipe away her fallen tears. Although her tear stained face and red eyes would give her away she prayed Lisa didn't say anything about it. She couldn't handle any more of her crude remarks.
"Jennie" that cold detached tone she used hung in the air.
Squeezing her eyes she wished she'd go away. She kept her back to her and tried to calm her shaking shoulders. Her footfalls stepped closer and a hand landed on her shoulder swiftly turning her to face her.
She froze, an unknown emotion flashed across her face, almost as if for a swift moment she cared. She knew her mind was creating something that would never happen.
"Jennie" her voice had a new edge to it, "what happened? Did he do something to you?"
She hesitated for obvious reasons before letting out a shaky breath, "I-I'm fine."
Silence greeted her and she hesitantly peeked from beneath her dark lashes at her. Her hands were stuffed deep in her pockets, the strong outline of her jaw was set as if she was Forcing herself not to say anything. Her hair was tousled and a lone cigarette lay behind her ear. Her eyes swept her from head to toe and she couldn't help but appreciate the way her dark shirt hugged her muscular frame, the grooves in her abs were clear beneath it.
Shit, those thoughts were bad, she shouldn't be eyeing her step sister as if she weren't family.
A very attractive family member. But a family member non the less.
She cleared her throat looking clearly uncomfortable, "Look... if she ever does something that you don't like tell me ok?"
She nodded unsure of how to process her genuine concern.
She watched her turn and walk back into the house. She stared after her even after she was gone. She'd surprised her. She was also extremely bi polar, she never had any for warning to whether she was going to be cruel or if she was actually going to act like a human being.
Sighing she willed the hurt in heart to go away and walked towards the dock down by the lake.
