I've finally made a breakthrough with J/K. I hope it's ok and seems
natural. I hope you enjoy it!
Chapter seven
Just when Jessie closes her locker, Katie runs up behind her and yells.
"Boo!"
"Argh! Katushka, you scared me," laughs Jessie as she turns around to face her.
"That's the point, silly." Katie fixes up her backpack and grabs Jessie's hand. Jessie quickly snatches it back.
A group of girls walk past, laughing at a joke but Jessie is sure they are laughing at her.
"Sorry...It's just...weird for some reason" Jessie looks down at her hands.
"It's ok, my pretty, don't fret" Katie laughs and pokes Jessie in the belly. "Do you want to meet up at lunch? We can share a fattening burger and over-fried fries."
"Sure, but can we eat outside? You know, by the big oak tree?"
"Sounds good, Jessushka. See you then!" Katie walks off and Jessie stares at her behind for a minute.

Jessie is sitting under the oak tree, eating a sandwich and notices Katie walking towards. Jessie finds herself checking to see if her face is clean and quickly pushes back her hair. She notices that time seems to be going in slow motion and every step that Katie takes drags and yet Jessie loves it. She watches as Katie's hair blows in the wind and the way she keeps pulling down her sweatshirt and yet it keeps jumping back up and Jessie can see her belly button ring.
B/W Jessie: Mum would never let me get a belly piercing. (looks down at her navel and pokes)
Katie sits down next to Jessie and takes out an apple and juice.
"I'm on a health kick at the moment. My stomach seems to be going crazy at the moment," Katie pulls down her sweatshirt again.
"You look...amazing," Jessie says and means it. She can feel herself blushing.
"You're meant to say that, you're my friend," laughs Katie.
"I mean it..." whispers Jessie. "I'm sorry about before in the hallway. I didn't mean to freak out like that."
"Jessie, you have to relax, take it easy. I wasn't upset. I understand." Katie rubs Jessie's arm and Jessie begins to blush again.
"It's just, I've never felt this uncomfortable before, not even when I went out with Tad that night. This is all so weird for me."
Katie puts down her apple and looks into Jessie's eyes.
"Even now, with you looking at me like that, it makes me feel warm inside. I can't believe I'm talking like this. Tell me to shut up," laughs Jessie.
"I love you talking like this. It means you feel safe and comfortable with me. Just like the way I feel when I'm around you."
Jessie looks back into Katie's eyes and feels herself wanting to lean forward and she actually does. Katie starts to move in as well.
"Are you sure about this, Jess? We can take it slow and..."
Jessie kisses her quickly before she can finish her sentence.
B/W Jessie: Who am I?! (shocked look)
Jessie moves back and looks down at her hands. Katie smiles broadly and takes a sip of her juice.
"Sorry..."
"Jessie, you have to stop saying sorry. You never do anything wrong."
Katie leans forward and strokes Jessie's face. Jessie smiles but can feel her insides start to heave and she accidentally knocks the juice out of Katie's hand.
"I should go...I have to...have to go to the bathroom."
Jessie picks up her things and runs off before Katie has a chance to say anything.

Eli parks the car in front of the school and drums his fingers on the steering wheel.
"Eli's got a girlfriend!" yelled Zoe and Eli stops the drumming.
"Why do you think that, Zo?" he asks and faces her.
"Because you always do that drumming thing when you have girls on the brain."
Suddenly Jessie and Grace are in the car and Eli turns away from Zoe and flashes a big smile at Grace and stops himself from kissing her hello. He looks at Jessie and notices her frown.
"What's up with you, sourpuss?"
"Nothing, Eli. Just leave it alone, ok." Jessie looks down at sighs. Grace notices this as well as Eli and they share a glance.
"What do you guys say we go get ice cream before we go home?" Eli starts the care and Gracie gives him a warm smile.
B/W Grace: He's talented, smart, thoughtful and caring. How could I not be head over heals for this guy? (raises her hands up and then laughs)
Zoe lets out a laugh and points her finger at Eli.
"You so have a girlfriend. You never take us out for ice cream."
"Eli has a girlfriend?" Grace looks at Eli quickly.
B/W Jessie: What was that look? Is something going on with Eli and Grace?
"Ok, ok. There is a girl I like but Zoe, it's none of your business, ok."
"Fine, but I was right!"
B/W Grace: And I'm that girl. (small smile)
B/W Eli: And I think it's even more than like (shocked but determined look)
