Jenashu: So here it is; the third chapter of Odaiba High. Maybe you should know that my knowledge of Japanease food is slim and none. The extent in what I know is rice, wasapi, rice balls, dim sum (or is it gim sum?), sushi, and I think it's called bokuri. So anyway, the food at Izzy's house will not be specific; it'll just be food, plain and simple. Well, enjoy!

Odaiba High
So, It's a Date
"So, is it true Jen? Are you going on a date with Izzy?" Sora whispered as Jen put her books onto her desk. Jen whiped the sweat away that had formed on her forehead during her wild dash to school and sat down slowly.
"Well," she started, smiling quite goofily, "yeah, it's true...But I'm kind of nervous...very excited, too..." she admitted. Sora gave her a sympathetic smile.
"I think you'll be fine. It's not like Izzy'll care if you do something stupid." she said. Jen gave her a blank look.
"How do you know that?" she asked with a slight frown.
"Come on, it's so obvious! I'll bet he's staring at you with that far-out look of his right now! I can't believe you didn't know he has a crush on you!" Sora exclaimed. Jen glanced quickly over her shoulder and saw that Izzy was indeed gawking at her, and he did have a really goofy look on his face. Their eyes locked, and Izzy quickly blushed and looked away.
"Erm...Anyway, I don't believe you knew that he had a crush on me and didn't say anything! That would've made my life so much easier!" Jen complained.
"Well, it was so obvious that I thought you knew...and I didn't want to tease you..." Sora said. Jen frowned and opened her mouth to argue, but the class bell rang and Sora ran out of the room.

Jen sat down awkwardly next to Izzy at the lunch table. She hoped that Matt and Tai would just shut up and not say anything about the whole dinner thing, but that was wishful thinking.
"Soooo..." Matt said as he sat down next to Tai, "I guess you two aren't going to the dance tonight. You've got something else to do, I've heard, and it's not studying."
"Put a sock in it, Matt." Jen said as she took a bite from her fudge brownie (A/N: I love those things!!!). "You don't need to tease us."
"Of course I do!" Matt said with a laugh.
"Yeah," Izzy mumbled, "your life depends on it."
"Don't be angry, Izzy! You should be nicer to me; I may just decide to give you some advice from The Master." Matt said superiorly. Izzy looked at him with an arched brow, and Jen snorted in her chocolate pudding.
"The Master Pretty Boy?" she whispered to Izzy. He fought hard to keep a straight face.
"Ah, whispering sweet nothings, Jen?" Matt and Tai asked at once. They broke out laughing.
"You two are making me really mad..." Jen started dangerously. The two boys ignored her and continued to laugh. "Guys! Stop teasing us!".
"Yeah Tai, and least Izzy's got a girlfriend." Matt said, switching targets. Tai frowned deeply.
"Excuse me, I am not Izzy's girlfriend! It's just one little date, I don't know why everyone's fussing so much over it!" Jen shouted at the top of her lungs. Everyone in the cafeteria grew quiet and turned around to look at Jen. "What? Why is everyone staring?" she asked weakly after a few tense moments of silence.
*****
After a very long day, Jen was able to walk home. She wasn't sad at all when Tai walked towards his apartment and finally left she and Izzy alone. "What a day. I'm really sorry Izzy, I know I made it worse at lunch." Jen said when Tai was out of sight.
"It's okay. No one would've known in the first place if I hadn't told Matt." Izzy said. Jen smiled happily; she was glad that Izzy was so understanding. After a while, Izzy broke the friendly silence that had been between them.
"It's kind of funny, isn't it?" he said. Jen gave him a questionate look, so he decided to explain. "Well, we were always like best friends...and I just thought that most guys (or girls) would meet someone in high school and they would start dating. It didn't occur to me that it could work like this, you know?"
"Yeah, I never thought about that. I wonder if there's a transition to be made. Um, what I mean is, well, the change from being friends to being, um, like a couple or something. If that does happen, I mean." Jen said. She wasn't sure if that was such a great thing to say as soon as the words came out of her mouth.
"I don't know." Izzy said after a slight pause. "...Do you think...that anything will come out of this...?"
"Not sure...but, well, I hope so." Jen said. She was very glad that Odaiba Mansion was coming into view. Her face felt like it was on fire.
"Yeah...I do, too." Izzy added quickly. Jen suddenly felt like reaching for his hand or doing something of that sort, but her heart was beating too quickly. Instead, she nodded slowly and pulled her keys out of her pocket.
"See you later." she said as she started up the stairs. Did I say something wrong?, Izzy thought. Why didn't she go up in the elevator with me like we usually do?
Jen did her homework before closing herself in the bathroom and staing at her reflection. The voice of her friend Mimi echoed in her head as she examined her features. "You're very pretty, Jen! I mean, look at how that guy's checking you out!"(A/N: This is an inside joke). Jen sighed. I don't know, she thought. It's just that...I look like this every day. Maybe I should do something different? She stared at herself until she had it all planned out.
****
Izzy sat on his bed to think. What should I do? I don't think most guys have dates at their house...Oh well. Hey, whatever Mom's making, it smells scrumptious! Prodigious, it's my favorite!
Izzy wasn't very worried anymore, but he couldn't explain why. He only knew that he had his Mom to thank for it (awww).
****
A while later, a timid knock was heard on the door of the Izumis. Izzy walked towards the door and took a deep breath before pulling it open. The breath that he had taken left his chest when he saw the teenage girl on the other side. Jen had finally let her long hair down instead of binding it up in a tight braid, and she was wearing an outfit that served her very well.
"Hi...I'm here." Jen said after a short silence.
"So I gathered." Izzy said with a smile. Jen laughed and took off her shoes.
"Oh, Jen, how are you?" Mrs.Izumi asked as she stepped into the hallway. "You've got perfect timing; I just got finished cooking."
"Great! It smells really good, too." Jen said. Mrs.Izumi smiled and led Jen to the dining room, as if she hadn't been there before. Mr.Izumi was already there. He exchanged greeting with Jen as his wife brought in food.
Both Jen and Izzy appriciated that Izzy's parents kept the conversation flowing without asking the teens about their relationship. Jen was enjoying herself very much, but she was quite surprised when Mr. and Mrs.Izumi picked up all of the plates and brought in a dessert.
"We'll just leave you two alone." Mr. Izumi said as he put down the dessert and left. A silence passed by before Izzy cleared his throat. Jen gave him a questionate look.
"Just a question, but...are you afraid of saying something stupid?" he asked. Jen blinked.
"Yeah, I am, actually..." she admitted. Izzy smiled.
"Don't be. It's okay, I just want you to be yourself." he said.
"Ok. I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm...kind of nervous." Jen replied. Izzy reached out and put his hand on hers. After that, some kind of bridge of understanding formed between them, and they were able to have a normal conversation again.
"Oh!" Jen said a while later. "Look! It's already nine thirty! I guess I should go home...I have a math test tomorrow, and my Mom said something about not coming home late..." Jen trailed off. Izzy nodded, and the two walked out of the dining room. Jen thanked Izzy's parents and before placing her hand on the doorknob.
She suddenly felt Izzy's hand on her shoulder. Jen's fingers twisted the doorknob, and both of them walked into the hallway. "Thanks for having me, Izzy. I'm glad you invited me over." she said.
"Me, too. Listen, Jen...I was thinking. Maybe we could go out some time?" he said as his face grew red.
"Sure! I would like that. See you, Izzy. Good night." Jen replied before walking towards her apartment. Izzy watched her until she turned around the corner. Maybe next time...he thought.
