Keep Me Out Of Control // Jenlisa

7: All Thanks To Planning

"You and your partner will prepare for a presentation that will take place in the Auditorium, one week from today. You won't know when it's your turn to speak, because names will be taken out of a hat. This presentation is all about science, ethics and reason. I want you to find a topic related to genetics, that clashes with ethics and reason. Even if you all end up choosing a topic about cloning, I still want to see what you learn from it and what you got to say." Ms Tiffany explained, walking around the classroom. She made sure all the partners were sitting together.

Jennie was siting at the back with Lisa, while Jungkook was a couple of seats away. After their talk yesterday, Jennie felt closer to Jungkook. She learned that he had no other choice but to cheat because he feared that he would be suspended from playing soccer, again. He was suspended twice last year, because of biology, and he didn't feel like repeating history. Now in the classroom, she wished they were partnered together. Jennie would have done anything to help him pass.

But seeing how Joy was trying hard to not be too pissed off at Jungkook, it made Jennie feel comfortable. She watched the two interact more in that classroom, than they did in the whole time period they knew each other. Making up with Jungkook helped Jennie overcome what she had seen yesterday after P.E class. Lisa's goddess-like body wouldn't leave her mind. As hard as she tried, she would still think about Lisa's perfect figure. Jennie would rather believe that her constant thought of Lisa naked, was jealousy and nothing else.

Jungkook kept looking towards Jennie's seat, winking and blowing kisses at her. Jennie looked down embarrassed. "Gosh, you two make me puke." Lisa commented, her back slouching on the chair, and her pen tapping the cover of her Biology book. Jennie rolled her eyes and looked at Lisa with a sassy smile.

"Instead of you focusing on my love life, maybe we should focus on our presentation." Jennie suggested, wanting to avoid any problem with Lisa. The sooner they are done with this project, the better Jennie will feel not having to partner up with Lisa for a while.

"I already know what we are going to do. X-linkage diseases inheritance of genetic disorders. We are a female partnership and it's a topic that many women don't know. Maybe this will interest the class and also Ms Tiffany. Trust me." Lisa said writing down her idea. She knew this subject would get them the best grade, since most of her classmates would choose the predictable cloning topic.

"Shouldn't we have discussed this? Since we are a team?" Jennie questioned her, feeling left out. Sure she had no idea what Lisa was talking about, but she felt the need to participate in the presentation topic choice. Lisa telling her what they were going to talk about, felt as if she was belittling Jennie's capabilities to participate.

"We could, but I just guessed you would opt to talk about cloning, and I don't feel like failing this class, so..." Lisa responded, still writing down what she knew about their subject. Jennie was surprised by the fact that Lisa indirectly called her predictable and easy to read.

"Excuse me, but maybe I had other ideas than just cloning. You should have discussed this with me. I demand that you change the subject, as we are doing a presentation of my choice." Jennie told her and Lisa threw her pen onto the table. Jennie's attitude with her was nasty and Lisa didn't even know what she had done to deserve this. Probably something that even Jennie doesn't know...

"Fine, smarty pants. What are your ideas?" Lisa asked her, crossing her arms and leaning back against her chair, paying close attention to what Jennie had to say. This whole situation would have turned on Lisa full time, but since she actually likes Biology and doesn't want to fail, she is keeping her excitement inside her pants.

"Maybe we could....uhm....you know....that.." Jennie kept trailing off, trying to think of other topics to discuss during the presentation. If she was going to argue against Lisa's idea, than she should have thought of one in the first place. Lisa was looking at her, perplexed by Jennie's bonehead.
