The 17th Disaster
Ch. 3
Nikki approached the lemon. "Who's the new girl?" Nikki asked not knowing it was Jen. Jen sat down wiping the make-up off.
"It's me Jen." She said solemnly. Nikki stepped back.
"I know it's your 17th birthday and all next Wednesday but you don't have to look like an old granny." Nikki said sitting down beside her. Jen glanced up.
"How did you know?" She asked annoyed. Nikki rolled her eyes.
"OK, so I'm not that organized but I keep track of all my friends birthdays." Nikki commented showing her the little day calendar. Jen nodded. She turned her head in the sound of Jonesy, Jude and Wyatt talking.
"Hey guys." She said smiling. They all sat down at the table.
"So what was so urgent, are you worried about turning 17 next Wednesday?" Jude asked curiously and cautiously. Jen looked at him with huge Hazel eyes.
"How did you know?" She asked in a tense ton. Jude looked at Jen weirdly.
"Dudette, even if you are a girl, I keep track of all my friends big days." Jude said in his normal manner. Jen grimaced.
"Now you guys know too." She said rolling her eyes. Jonesy looked at Wyatt.
"Well we already knew, we just didn't say anything, because we know how mad you get when we say anything about your age." Jonesy said.
"And besides it isn't that bad turning 17, it shows maturity and strength." Wyatt said comforting Jen. Jen flashed him a crisp smiled.
"Well first of all, about that emergency meeting here, I needed to ask everyone a question. Cory asked me out again should I go out with him?" Jen asked.
"You mean the girl guy?" Wyatt asked. "Sure why not, everyone deserves a second chance." He suggested.
"No way Jen, you will end up having a miserable time, he is a girl guy Jen, a girl guy." Jonesy said ready to explode. Jen nodded.
"But if you met him again you would think he was burly now. He looks like that one muscular guy up in Abercrombie Finch." Jen said dreamily. Caitlin squealed.
"You have good taste in guys Jen!" Caitlin exclaimed. Jen rolled her eyes.
"So should I, or should I not say yes?" Jen asked confused. The group looked at each other as they talked.
"Majority rules you should." Jonesy declared.
"Wow, first time you ever used Majority rules." Jen said nodding and letting a slight laugh out. "When there are girls you only count the ones with the bigger breast size." She commented again. "So, I will go ask him out." She said walking back to the P-box.
"Hey Jen, so do you have an answer?" Cory asked walking back up to her. Jen blushed and looked down.
"Yea, yes I do." She said smiling. Cory nodded.
"So what is it?" He asked.
"Oh yeah, it's a yes." She said nodding professionally. Cory flashed her a quick smile.
"Great." He said taking her hand. Jen smiled and blushed as people talked about her among the crowds.
