Jealous II
"What was Lenny doing at your house all weekend?"
Tina shut her locker door to find Jimmy Junior standing behind it, looking cross.
"What?"
"I saw him going in and out of your place Saturday and Sunday, and I know he wasn't there just for burgers," Jimmy Junior said.
Tina frowned. It was true, Lenny had been over, but it was to see Gene, not her. And Gene had been very clear that Lenny didn't want anyone to know about that yet.
"Don't worry-"
"You know he's dating half the school, don't you?" he interrupted. "That's really what you want?"
"Wait a minute. Are you jealous?" A tiny grin was fighting its way onto her face, but she tried to hide it.
"Pshh, no," he scoffed. He lowered his eyes to the floor.
"Jimmy-"
"I just think you could do better."
"Like who?" she asked. He turned red and refused to meet her gaze. Tina took a step closer to him. "You don't have to worry about Lenny, okay? He's not my type." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "You're still my favorite."
The warning bell rang, signaling one minute until class starts. Tina gave him one last look before she hurried off. Jimmy Junior watched her go, a small smile on his face.
