JENNIE'S POV
"Jennie, can you please stop reading ahead. I can tell what you're doing from over here" Mrs. Jeon comments, my chemistry teacher
"Nerd alert," one guy in the front says
"You wish you were as smart as her," Jisoo said, my best friend
"Bitch" the guy responds, making my teacher sigh
"Next word I heard from you, you are going outside young man," My teacher said before looking over at me
"Jennie I know that you probably already know what we learn, but please don't go ahead"
"Okay, sorry" I replied flipping twenty pages back in the book to where the class is
I turn over to thank Jisoo for defending me and she gives me a thumbs up
At the end of class, the guy sticks his middle finger up in the air at us as he leaves class
"Wow, what a stupid. I thought more people were decent, I guess not. No worries, I will always defend you" Jisoo said giving me a tight hug
After the hug, I bend down to get my backpack and turn around to face Jisoo.
However, instead of her, I am inches away from Lisa's face
"O-Oh, I-I'm so sorry" I blurt out as I make way for this beautiful woman
Lisa chuckled and seductively whispered "By the way, nerds are hot"
I'm stunned and unable to say a word as Lisa walks past me
"Dude that hurt me to watch, you looked like a deer seeing headlights," Jisoo told me as she laughed uncontrollably
"It's not my fault that Lisa is stunning. I mean have you looked at that girl's face. Her face is amazing!" I try to explain to her
Jisoo stops laughing for a second and looks almost offended
"What about my face?"
"Oh, I mean you're face is pretty too, but like you're my friend so...." I say fumbling around for words
"I'm just teasing you" Jisoo laughs
"Jisoos, you're such an asshole sometimes," I say rolling my eyes and heading out of class
"Hey! If you want to someday make a move to Lisa, you better get more confident in talking" Jisoo advises
"Who said anything about making a move to Lisa? I just want to admire her from afar" I explain
"Oh my gosh, you're useless!" Jisoo whined
"I need you to clear up some things for me. Why is it that you are crushing on Lisa again?" Jisoo asked
"I'm not crushing on Lisa; I'm simply admiring her beauty. What's not to like about how she looks, plus she's gay and that makes her double hot. Not to mention she is a good person, she's kind and always speaks her mind" I explain
"I think you are thinking about a different Lisa. Lisa is like a mysterious badass...wait, if she's gay, then why don't you ask her out? You're gay too. Two gays are happy, right?" Jisoo comments happily
"Can't believe you called me hopeless" I tease her "Lisa is just too much for me. I've only dated one. A girl and that didn't work out. Besides, Lisa like a pro. Why the hell would she ever really notice me?"
"I mean she just noticed you a couple of minutes ago" Jisoo added
"Yeah, but that was more like teasing than noticing"
"Isn't teasing better than just noticing you. Teasing means she likes you, right?" Jisoo replied
"But she teased everyone so I don't know anyone. Girls are confusing" I whined
"Hey! We are girls too, stupid" Jisoo said lightly snacking my arm
"No shit" I mumbled out
"Stop this self-deprecating talk, my friend. We will boost your confidence!" Jisoo yelled making everyone stare at us
I try to quiet her down before asking "How the hell are you going to do that?"
"Practice, my friend" she merely replied
Just before we are going to head into the cafeteria, I heard my name being called
I turn around and notice Mrs. Jeon calling out my name
"Jennie wait! I need to ask you for a favor"
"What kind of favor is she talking about?" Jisoo whispered to me
"How the fuck should I know," I say shrugging
Mrs. Jeon catches up to me out of breath
"I need to start going to the gym again"
"Same" Jisoo comments
"Anyway, I was wondering if you could tutor one of your classmates. They aren't doing well and I would hate for them to have to be held back in their senior year for a class, so what do you say?" Mrs. Jeon asked
I hesitate for a moment, weighing the pros and cons
I hate interacting with people and I suck at trying to reach something to someone. It's best if she chooses someone else to tutor this student
Just as I'm about to decline, Jisoo blurts out
"She will do it"
"Oh, thank you so much, Jennie!" Mrs. Jeon said before turning around and walking away
I turn to Jisoo in disbelief "What the heck did you do?!"
"I'm doing you a favor" she replied
"What?! No, you're not. I hate talking to other people. I suck at it"
Jisoo puts her arms on my shoulder
"That's why I said yes for you. This is your chance to break out of your shell. This is a wonderful opportunity" Jisoo explained
I sigh in frustration "I guess you're right, but I hate this"
"I know you do, but maybe this can raise your confidence level. After this, you might be able to easily talk to people without getting nervous. Then you can ask out any girls" Jisoo said trying to reassure me
"Okay. Okay. This is a good chance" I said
"Good, now let's go eat, I'm starving," She said leading us into the cafeteria
