Senior Year-Ch 6

JJ looked up to see Jordan and Tamara laughing, she started over to the table and Penelope grabbed her arm and said, "don't sink to her level Jayje, she isn't worth it, neither of them are". Penelope turned and headed toward the bathroom to see if she could get the spaghatti stain out of her shirt.

Derek walked into the cafeteria and saw JJ heading out, he looked around and said, "where is baby girl"?, JJ said, "she just left to go into the bathroom to try to get the spaghatti stain out of her white shirt". Derek looked at JJ and said, "do you think she is going to be able to get any of that stain out"?, JJ shook her head and said, "noooooo and now she has to wear that stain the rest of the day".

Derek smiled and said, "maybe not, meet me in front of the girls bathroom in 5 minutes ok"?, JJ smiled and said, "yeah sure but why"?, Derek smiled and said, "I'm gonna get Penelope something to wear". JJ grinned as she watched Derek walk away, she then headed towards the girls bathroom and her heart broke when she could hear Penelope crying through the door.

Derek ran to the boys locker room and got his jersey out of his locker and headed back to find JJ and Penelope, the thoughts of his shirt covering that beautiful body of Penelopes was making him smile. He couldn't help but smile as he ran toward the bathroom across the hall from the cafeteria where he saw JJ waiting on him.

He handed JJ the jersey and said, "tell her that I want her to wear this and that I would like it if she would have lunch with me please JJ", she smiled and said, "I will", she then turned and walked into the bathroom to her crying friend. JJ walked over and saw Penelope working feverishly to get the stain out but nothing she was doing was working.

JJ put her hand on Penelopes shoulder and said, "I'm sorry Garcie", Penelope looked up at her and said, "it isn't your fault sweetpea it's mine for actually being happy for once". JJ wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face, she looked at Penelope and said, "I have a surprise for you".

Penelope blew her nose and said, "surprise, what kind of surprise"?, JJ grinned and said, "Derek wanted me to give you this and tell you that he wants you to please put this on and join him for lunch" Penelope smiled and said, "ohhhhhh my god JJ this is his jersey". JJ smiled and said, "yes it is and he wants you to wear it".

Penelope said, "I can't wear this JJ", she looked puzzled at her friend and said, "and why not"?, Penelope said, "JJ we all know what everybody is going to say if I am wearing this right"?, she laughed and said, "do you care what anybody else thinks"?, she looked at JJ and said, "no but" JJ said, "the only but I want to see is yours walking over to that stall and pulling your stained shirt off and putting this jersey on and then I want you to walk out there and smile and take Derek by the hand and walk into the cafeteria with your head held high".

Penelope smiled and said, "you are a great friend Jayje", JJ laughed and said, "so are you Garcie now get that butt of yours in there and change into that jersey and go and enjoy lunch with Derek". Penelope said, "but we always have lunch together JJ", she smled and said, "I can have lunch with Spence".

Derek stood out in the hall waiting for Penelope and JJ to come out when he looked up to see Reid walking up the hall headed into the cafeteria,
he smiled and said, "hey Derek, what's happening"?, Derek said, "JJ is in there with Penelope her white shirt is stained with spaghatti and JJ took my jersey in for her to put on".

Reid said, "ohhhhh poor Penelope, she must be devastated", Derek said, "yeah she is and I sent my jersey in to her by JJ and a lunch invite", he grinned and said, "soooooo this means that JJ will be free for lunch". Derek smiled and said, "yeah I guess it does", they both smiled when they saw JJ walking out of the bathroom.

JJ said, "she will be right out Derek", he smiled and said, "thanks JJ", Reid looked at JJ and said, "JJ would you like to have lunch with me today"?, she grinned and said, "yes I would, thanks Spence". Reid held out his arm and said, "allow me malady", she laughed as she put her arm in his".

They both smiled as they headed inside the cafeteria, Derek leaned up against the wall and waited for Penelope to come out, a few minutes later the door opened and out walked Penelope in his jersey. He couldn't help but smile, he said, "looking good baby girl", she laughed and said, "thanks for this Derek".

He winked at her and said, "anytime, I'm just glad that I could help", he then held out his arm and said, "come baby girl lunch awaits", she put her arm in his and laughed as the headed towards the cafeteria. JJ and Reid had their lunch trays and had just sat down at the table when Derek and Penelope walked in the door.

Jordan had her mouth full of lunch and when she saw Penelope standing there in Dereks jersey she spit it all over Tamara, Tamara jumped up and said, "Jordan, what the hell"?, all Jordan could do was cough and point. JJ and Reid laughed so hard that they almost fell out of their chairs in the cafeteria.
