Part 8: Match Making Plans…

(Thursday)

After the get together just a little more than a week ago, nothing much has progressed in the 'love' aspect of Jessie and Katie's relationship. Mainly because Katie still doesn't know that Jessie plays for the same team. Though Jessie may know that Katie's gay, however, she herself feels as though she has no chance of becoming Katie's girl due to self-esteem issues.

Sam on the other hand has still not managed to find a subtle way to tell Katie that Jessie is gay. Being Sam, she continues to ponder on the thought of whether actually telling Katie, or just let her find out herself. This is because she thinks that she would be too nosy, and really doesn't want to get involved with someone else's love life. Sitting in front of her computer she has finally decided…

SammyT: Hey Kat… You there?

SinFULKat: Yeah. 'Sup

SammyT: Just wanted to chat.

SinFulKat: hmm… so chat…

SammyT: right. Hey you wanna go catch a movie or something on Friday night?

SinFulKat: I'll think about it. Is Tad allowed to tag along…

Sam after reading the name Tad, she felt annoyed…

SammyT: Must he really tag along?

SinFulKat: Oh come on… it was an accident last time… I'm sure he didn't really mean to kiss you. I mean he was drunk.

SammyT: he freakin' forced it upon me. Luckily I wasn't drunk so I could push him away! I mean eww…We like grew up together for heaven's sake.

'Hmm, a movie… Wonder if Jess would wanna go as well' Katie thought.

SinFulKat: Fine fine…Anyways I'll tell you tomorrow if I'm gonna go.

SammyT: Of course. So... Do you still have something for Jess.

SinFulKat: Shut up. We're only friends. I mean, even if I wanted anything, she's clearly straight.

SammyT: How'd you know that she's straight, you asked her?

SinFulKat: Well no… She just looks so straight.

SammyT: Whatever you say doofus. G2G. Friday it is.

SinFulKat: Cya freak.

Sighing, Katie repeated the name out loud "Jessie." Then recalling those pair of baby blue eyes Jessie had, that always made her look so vulnerable.

Sammler/Manning Manor

Ring Ring (Phone)

"Hello?" Grace answered…

"Grace? This is Sam."

"Oh hey Sam. What's up?"

"Wanna help me pair up the two?" Sam said, knowing full well that Grace knows who she's talking about.

"Hell ya! When and how?" Grace asked excited and curious…

Jessie's Room

Knock Knock

"Come in!" Jess called from her bed, as she was lying there doing homework.

"Hey Jess, I just wanted to ask if you want to catch a movie with me Friday."

Hoping that maybe Katie would ask her if she wanted to go watch a movie with her instead, Jess replied with "I'll think about it. Who's goin?"

"Oh okay… it's just gonna be you and me?" Grace replied, keeping Katie and Sam out, as planned.

"I'll tell you tomorrow." Jess replied, with that Grace left.

'Ah… Katie…' Jessie thought to herself, just thinking of Katie made her all warm and fuzzy inside. 'I wonder if she wants to go watch a movie…' she thought, and sighing aloud.

Next Day (Friday). School Halls.

Katie just got to school and wanted to immediately ask whether Jessie wanted to watch a movie with her, so she walked down to her locker, knowing that Jess' is not far away. When nearly approaching her target, she saw someone talking to Jess… Tad. Walking up to her locker which was close enough to listen, but also far enough so they won't notice her, Katie listened onto the conversation.

"So Jess," he showed off his 'charming' smile to Jessie, "Wanna do something tonight, since you know… it's a Friday?"

"Uh…" Jess started shyly, thinking of a way to get out of this, "Sorry Tad, I'm busy tonight. I can't go."

"Oh." Tad said, obviously disappointed.

'Damn it…' Katie thought to herself, 'She's busy tonight…' then bringing her out of her thoughts, she heard Tad's voice. "Hey Singer!" and he bounded a few lockers down to where Katie's was.

"Oh, hey"

Hearing Katie's name being called, Jess turned around to search for Katie within the crowd. This was really not that hard, because Katie just totally stands out compared to all the other students in the hall. 'Wow… She even looks beautiful in the morning…' Jess thought.

"So, you have time to watch a movie with me tonight?" Tad asked.

"Sorry, can't," Katie replied, not feeling like 'Tad' at that moment, but not wanting to be mean either she joked, "You do know that you have to pre-book in advance with me. My schedule is really full…"

"Oh come on… don't I get a special? I'm one of your best friends." Tad said playing along.

"Nup… doesn't matter who you are. Sorry Tad, remember to ask in advance next time."

Ring (The school bell)

"Well I'm off!" Katie said waving goodbye, and as she walked towards Jessie's locker, "Morning Jess," she called.

"Uh… Morning Katie."

"So what class do you have now?" 'God, she has stunning eyes! No, not just her eyes. She's stunning. And my name never sounds better until Jessie says it.'

"Uh, Math on floor two."

"Cool, same floor. I'll walk with you…"

"Okay."

On their way to first period, Katie continues to unconsciously stare at Jessie walking beside herself. However Jessie was totally oblivious to that, because she was thinking gleefully, 'Katie's walking with me to class! Still can't believe I'm friends with her…'
