"I can't believe she raised the money." Jenna said as they were headed out of the Dot that night, heading towards Adam's house
"You are really surprised?" Adam asked
"I guess not. Clare is the type who thrives when she is challenged." Jenna said
"It will be fine. You still have KC and me."
"Not KC anymore. I don't think I ever really had KC."
"You two broke up?"
"No. but I feel like its soon. I don't even know why he was even with me. When its clear he still has feelings still for Clare."
"Well you'll find someone." Adam said
"Oh crap I left my bag at the Dot."
"Geez Jen, you are such a blonde."
"But you love me anyway."
When Jenna came out of the Dot she saw a guy harassing Adam
"Leave me alone." Adam said
"Hey get away from her." Jenna screamed and ran over to her. She was more enraged than she had ever been. They guy walked away and Jenna put her arm around her and walked her to her house.
….
Jenna help cover for Adam. They walked up to Adam's room. Adam didn't make a sound. Jenna sat next to her.
"Hey I'm sorry some people are jerks." Jenna said
"Its ok. When your own family call you a Dykie fag who is going to hell, a random guy doesn't hurt as much."
"Wow, I guess I never realized how hard it is for you." Jenna said sympathetically
"Yeah. Having a friend like you makes it easier."
"Glad I can help." And Jenna looked at Adam who said
"I wish I was a guy."
"What why?" Jenna was surprised
"Because then these feelings wouldn't be wrong," Adam said
"They aren't wrong." And Adam looked at Jenna's baby blue eyes. Jenna couldn't describe the feeling that came over. But she kissed Adam. Jenna's lips were like soft pink pillows, and Adam couldn't help but kiss her back. None of KC's felt like this. No one's felt as right as Adam's did. But then Jenna realized what was happening
"Ok I gotta go." Jenna ran out...feeling scared and no knowing what to do.
...
That Monday at school Clare avoided Eli and Alli and Jenna avoided Adam and KC. Clare knew Alli would be all over as to what happened between her and Eli, and Jenna didnt understandwhat happened between her and Adam.
"Clare wait a sec." It was Alli.
"Look i cant. i gotta go."
"I ran into Eli and he asked if you were ok, cause you kinda freaked out Friday." Alli looked sympathetically at hr friend. "What happened?"
"Nothing." Clare lied
"Tell me." Alli stopped her
"Fine. Eli kinda kissed me." Clare said and Alli's face lit up.
"Really? Awesome"
"Whats so awesome about it? Dating=Drama=Heartbreak." Clare stated "I am not ready to deal withtaht yet." Clare shrugged
"Clare, you finally met a guy who is totally cute and is totally into you and you wont date him because your not ready?" Alli was shocked
"Yes." then Clare's phone went off. It was Dave "What does Dave want?" Clare said
"Dave texted you?"
"Yeah, he said he needs my help in the Zen garden." CLare said
"Go, but we arent done with this." Alli said
...
Jenna arrived to the weight room to work out a little before practice. Just then Adam came walking in
"Ok what gives Jenn?" Adam said
"I don't know what you are talking about?" Jenna playing dumb
"My house, you kissed me."
"Oh the thing that never happened?" Jenna said
"Oh it happened." Adam said "Why wont you admit it?" she asked
"Look Adam, your cool with being gay. But people already say horrible things about me, if people knew about...you know..." Jenna looked at Adam with a hopeless look "I just cant deal with that." Adam was hurt
"So being gay is so bad? Worse than being a boyfriend stealer?" Jenna looks upset "You know, ever since i became your friend, everyone kept telling me what a horrible person you were and i never believed it untill now." Jenna looked even more hurt, but not as much as Adam. "Congrats Jenna, you proved them right." Adam began to leave
"Adam." Jenna said the way she said Adam name's was almost too sweet to resits...almost
"No leave me alone Jenna." an she left..
...
"Dave i'm here what did you want?" Clare said but Dave was no where. instead she saw Eli
"Hey." He said
"Hi."
"You know Clare, when a guy a helps you run a fundraiser, it means he likes you." He steped closer "And when he walks you home and kisses yu goodnight." He was inches from he face and Clare couldnt breathe "And when you kiss him back, it means you ike hm too." He said
"Well your wrong." Clare stepped back.
"Why are you afraid?" Eli said
"I'm not." Clare said
"So why then?"
"Maybe i dont like you." Clare lied
"Maybe i think your full of shit." he said
"Maybe i just wnat to be left alone." she said
"Fine, Clare." and Eli left and Clare added sileintly I am sorry you kissed me. Other wise i could have liked you.
...
Clare and Jenna were in gym...both were in a mood. They were playing volleyball. Then all of a sudden Jenna acidently hit Clare with the ball. Clare looked at her and threw the ball back
"Want to go Edwards?" Clare looked at Jenna
"Yeah Middleton." and Jenna smack Clare and Clare hit her back. They were fighting and then Coach Armsrtong came an broke it up
"Middleton Edwards Afterschool. Detention. Today"
...
"I heard you fought Clare." KC said
"Where did you hear that?" Jenna said
"Everyone is atlking about it." KC looked at Jenn "How could you hurt Clare?"
"I cant believe you are taking her side once again." Jenna said "Face it KC, you love her."
"What no i dont." KC said
"Yes you do. let us face the facts. We just dont fit." Jenna said "I dont think that we ever really did." she said
"I think your right." KC said
"Bye KC." Jenna didnt even look back.
...
Clare and Jenna was cleaning teh gym after school when Jenna started to hum
"Can you please just shut up?" Clare said
"Can you just leave me alone?"
"God your a bitch." Jenna looked at Clare
"Im a bitch? You acting pretty bitchy."
"Yeah but i have a reason."
"Me too. My love life is falling apart." Jenna said
"Mine too."
"Oh yeah? I just broke up with KC, and i fell for someone else and i screwed up." Jenna said
"You and KC broke up?" Clare said "Wow sorry." she wasnt scarcatic at all
"yeah sure." Jenna rolled her eyes
"I am." Jenna looked at her
"Well thanks Clare bear." she said
"So this other person...do i know who he is?" Clare asked
"You do." Jenna looked down
"Who?"
"Adam." Clare looked shocked
"Adam? Really?"
"Yes. but i am not gay. and if people knew...they will make fun of me like they do with Adam." Jenna said
"Look Jenna, do you like her?"
"You mean like her like her?" Jenna said
"Yes."
"Yeah i do. she is cool, and she is the frist person, who has cared to hear my story." Jenna said
"Than dont care what people say." CLare said
"Ok your turn, why is your love life a mess?"
"Eli kinda kissed me." Clare said
"And how is that a mess?" Jenna asked confused
"Cause, after KC, i dont know if i could deal with another heartbreak." she said
"Well does he make you happy?"
"Yeah." Clare said "And he makes me feel fun. For the first time in a long time."
"Than go out with him. Dont let fear hold you back" and Clare looked at Jenna and semi laughed
"Are we bonding?" Clare said
"I guess we are." Jenna said then she looked at Clare "I am so sorry for last year and..." but Clare stopped her
"Water under the bridge.." Clare said
"So friends again?" Jenna asked
"Deffeintly." Clare and Jenna hugged "Now you get your girl." Clare said
"And you get your man."
...
Jenna knocked on Adam's door. she opened
"Adam, I am sorry. I do like you, and I realized that i dont care what people say about me, i like you, and if you want, i would like to give us a shot."
"What about KC?"
"I broke up with him" Jenna looked at her "What do you say?" but instead of words Adam kissed her. Jenna kissed her back untill she was left breathless.
...
Clare went to the back of the school where Eli was shooting baskets
"Eli can we talk?"
"Sure." he said and looked at her
"Your right. I am afraid. I have only had one boyfriend and he broke my heart. I do like you and it scares the crap out of me." She said "I cant deal with that again." she said and she began to cry little. Eli stepped forward
"Hey its ok." she looked up at him "I like you Clare, and we can take things slowly."
"Really?" Clare siad realived
"Of course." He smiled at her and he traced her lips with his finger. then he leaned in adn kissed her softly, the kiss left her wanting more...
Clare was so happy she couldnt help it. She was moving on, and forward
