At the end of the summer Jennie was unprepared to set foot in the high school. It was so much bigger than the middle school campus had been.
She hadn't gotten her growth spurt yet. She was going to get trampled by the crowds in the halls.
To her dismay, she didn't know anyone in her first three classes. Thankfully, Mino from robotics club was in her English class.
English teachers liked making people pair up to discuss the books and it was better to do it with someone you knew.
Jennie didn't have any classes with Lisa at all and wasn't sure why she was so intensely disappointed by that. However, they did have the same Spanish teacher. She had noticed Lisa leaving the classroom as she was about to go in during passing period.
As the school year went on Jennie lived for the moments she saw Lisa exiting Spanish class. Sometimes Jennie would see her sitting at the choir kids table in the cafeteria too, laughing and displaying that bright smile.
Whenever Lisa posted on InstaFace, Jennie would give the picture a like.
Jennie wasn't sure when exactly it happened but she started got interest on Lisa even more than computers.
Lisa hadn't talked to her since signing her yearbook in middle school so she didn't dare approach her.
When Jennie wasn't secretly watching Lisa she was working on bettering her coding skills. The high school didn't have a robotics club so she spent a lot of time in the library on the computer looking things up and reading books about computers during her breaks.
By the end of her first year of high school Jennie had become fairly proficient at hacking.
Over the summer Jennie discovered how to track the sites Lisa's email address was affiliated with and found her blog on Blogr, a popular blogging site. The strange thing was that her name wasn't linked to it, just a username:

Unlike the bright and happy personal photos on InstaFace, this blog's entries seemed more like a diary of random thoughts that could belong to anyone, mixed with reposting other people's thoughts and pictures.
