Jenny watched Nate Archibald walk away and in to the nearest classroom. He had told her to wait a couple of minutes before doing the same thing. What he had planed she didn't know but was could not wait to find out. Smiling from ear to ear she turned round and came face to face with her older and, when it suited him, protective brother. Her smile soon faded and turned to guilt however when she saw the look on his face. She hadn't done anything wrong but she knew that he couldn't have been happy if he saw her talking to an older guy, especially if that older guy is the same age as Dan, regardless if it was only a couple of years. Not wanting to keep Nate waiting she hurried off to the classroom Nate had disappeared in to. She figured he'd have a lot of questions for her so she'd answer them all at home. She approached the door, made sure no one else was looking, opened the door and walked in.
"Did anyone see you come in here?" asked a hushed voice.
"Err I don't think so. Why does it matter?" Jenny asked.
"Well you said you didn't want Dan to find out." Nate told her.
"Oh well he left with Serena. I saw them walk off together before I came in here. So don't worry the coast is clear."
"What about anyone else?"
"Who really cares if anyone else saw?" Jenny exclaimed a little bit infuriated that he cared so much about whether anyone saw her walk in to the same classroom as him. After all, he was more than happy to flirt with her in the corner of the school. Anybody could have seen that, it wasn't as if the halls were empty, everyone was leaving to go home. When Jenny pointed that out Nate just went red and started mumbling something bout it getting back to Dan.
Jenny just rolled her eyes. "Nathaniel Archibald I really couldn't give a damn about whether someone with no life whatsoever tells Dan they saw us talking in the middle of a school hall where we are likely to bump in to each other. It could have been about anything so will you just chill out."
Nate looked at her pathetically. "I'm just worried about you, that's all."
"Yeah right. You mean you're more worried about where your balls are going to end up after Dan's reaction to seeing us kiss the first time." At the sight of Nate's eyes widen Jenny just laughed. "Don't worry he really couldn't hurt a fly."
"I still wouldn't put it past him."
Jenny shook her head. "So is there a reason why you wanted me to join you secretly in this classroom or can I go?" She was tired of having this conversation with Nate. She didn't really want to leave and she had hoped Nate didn't want her to leave either but she was fed up of waiting for something to happen.
This took Nate back a bit. "Ok, I'm sorry. Course I wanted you to meet me in here for a reason."
"Ok well are you going to tell me? Cos we've been in here for 10 minutes already and we haven't really gotten anywhere very fast."
Nate laughed at her last statement. "Oh really? Did you have anything in mind?"
Jenny's face went pink. "Erm, well … nothing… I – I just – just thought…" Jenny stuttered.
"You just thought what?" Nate asked her. He was getting dangerously close to Jenny which both terrified and excited her at the same time.
"I just thought that, erm, you wanted to – to tell – tell me something." This is so embarrassing; I can't even talk properly let alone make any sense. Jenny thought to herself. Then she realised that the incredibly hot older guy was moving even closer to her. Any closer and she would be backed against the wall … which was too late.
"And what did I want to tell you?" Nate asked her. He had Jenny against the wall of the classroom and was stroking her cheek.
"You tell me." She answered back, finally getting her voice back and well aware of his hand on her face.
Nate smirked and without another word he leaned his head in nearer to Jenny who did the same thing. Their lips just touched when Nate suddenly pulled back and said, "Wait did you say Dan and Serena left together?"
Jenny groaned. "Yes Nate I did. Keep up will you?"
"Sorry it's just … do you know where they were going?"
"No, why would I? Dan's a big boy; he can do what he wants. I'm pretty sure he won't appreciate his little sister checking up on him."
"Ok but do you know if anything's going on between them?"
"No why would I?" Jenny questioned. Then it suddenly hit her like a yellow cab in the middle of Times Square. "Nate, do you still like her? Serena I mean."
Nate shook his head vigorously. "No not at all but I know someone who does and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't appreciate the knowledge of Dan and Serena leaving school together."
"Ok fine whatever. How about you don't tell him then." Jenny suggested. "Kiss me instead." She said out loud by mistake. Her face scrunched up with the blatant slip of the tongue, praying that Nate hadn't heard her.
"Oh you know he'll find out." So far so good … "He always finds out about that sort of thing. One photo on Gossip Girl … Wait what did you say?" Shit!
"What? I didn't say anything." She stated innocently.
Nate grinned at her knowing full well what she said. Rather than pushing the matter, he leant in and their lips touched. He kissed her tenderly opening her mouth with her tongue only slightly so he could get in. It finished as quickly as it had started but for Jenny it seemed like forever and that's how she liked it. Something so small, she could get totally lost in. "Is that better?" Nate asked her, cheekily.
Jenny could do nothing but nod her head and slowly open her eyes due to the after shock of what just happened. Nate laughed at her and said, "Come on, I'll hale you a cab home." He took her hand and led her outside where Nate told her everything he knew about the guy who liked her and who it was.
