So, I suck lately and all of my posts are short. I promise that I'll make them lengthier in the future.
".. New student, Jonica…"
Those three words snapped all of the kids out of their babbling about 'last night on Paris Hilton's show, oh my god' and 'I totally scored last night dude' and the whole class' attention was on the tall, lanky, pretty-in-her-own-way girl standing next to Ms. Jester awkwardly. "Jonica, you can sit next to.." The teacher trailed off as she looked for a table that wasn't likely to be rude to the new student, "Ms. Carlin," Jonica looked over to where Ms. Jester was pointing and was greeted by Spencer smiling widely. As Jonica pulled up a chair next to Spencer and they introduced themselves, Ashley was watching from across the room. She had a bad feeling about this new girl and she had no idea why. She hated the way she smiled at Spencer. She hated the way she already looked so comfortable around Spencer. She hated how easily she fit in with Spencer's friends. She hated how Jonica was now permanently sitting in the spot that she would always go to after she finished up helping Ms. Jester. She hated that Spencer's attention drifted over to her less now that Jonica was constantly talking to her.
All throughout class, Ashley glanced over to Spencer and Jonica more and more, which made the work she was doing get done slower and slower. Whenever the bell rang, she hardly had anything done, which Ms. Jester wasn't too happy about. As she got yelled at, Spencer was waiting at the door for her.. With Jonica.
"I don't think I've ever even seen Ms. Jester mad, Ash. Dang, what did you do?" Spencer giggled, making fun of her, good-heartedly.
"I didn't get much done, blah, blah." Ashley tried joking back, but she was too aware of Jonica standing close to Spencer. But, to her relief, the blonde moved further from Jonica and closer to her, even if it was to slap her in the shoulder.
"Ash!" Spencer scolded. And even though it kinda hurt her shoulder, it made Ashley happy that she had someone to always keep her in line and who actually cared about her.
"I'll work more than ever tomorrow, I promiseeee." She put on her cheesiest smile, making Spencer laugh.
"Oh! Ash, this is Jonica. We totally have every class together. Weird, huh?" Spencer said in her trademark bubbly way as Jonica and Ashley stared at each other. A look of hate plastered on Ashley's face and a cocky smile on Jonica's. These looks were, of course, unnoticed by Spencer. "Well, we're gonna get to call before we're late. I'll see you at lunch?" And with that, she embraced Ashley as always did. Looking over at Jonica and seeing the expression on her face, that's when it hit Ashley. The look of jealousy. Jonica's a lesbian! Smiling at the realization, Ashley squeezed Spencer to her tightly and kissed the top of her head, while watching the jealousy intensify on the short-haired, lanky girl's face.
"Yup, see you at lunch, babe." The brunette winked, getting a confused, but playful look from Spencer before the two left down the opposite hall.
Satisfied, Ashley grabbed her stuff and continued to her next class, but every other step she turned to make sure that 'new girl' didn't get too close to her best friend.
"So, Spencer," Jonica's slow, cocky voice breaking the silence as they walked down the hallway, "Is that Ashley girl your girlfriend?"
"What?" The blonde gave her an incredulous look, "No, she isn't. We've just been best friends since I can remember."
"That's good." She said simply and before a confused Spencer could respond, they were at their class already.
"You can sit next to me, Aiden rarely even comes to this class." She said while struggling to get her bag off of her shoulders.
"Need help, hun?" And without waiting for Spencer's reply, she was in front of her, helping her untangle herself and letting her hands linger a bit longer than needed. From the blush on Spencer's face and the smirk on Jonica's, it didn't go unnoticed.
"Class, take a seat and let's begin, we have a lot to go over today." A middle-aged, slightly overweight, balding man interrupted the staring contest that they were now having. They took their seats, Spencer still flushed but stealing glances at Jonica, who had the same cocky smirk on her face as always.
