Fucking Perfect GxG (Jenlisa Adoption)

Chapter 7

Lisa stumbled her way through the school day, unable to get yesterday's encounter with Jennie out of her head. Of course, she'd seen the girl angry before, but Jennie had seemed overwhelmed by her emotions.

There really must be something going on, Lisa thought. She almost felt bad for being so harsh on the ice queen...but still, Lisa couldn't forget the fact that Jennie was a bully. Having a hard time in life didn't give her a free pass to act like a bitch and ruin other people's lives.

Lisa shook her head as if to scatter her thoughts about Jennie. She'd been thinking far too much about the other girl lately. Ever since they met it's like Jennie was occupying such a large portion of her school life.

Normally, she wouldn't give a typical mean girl like her a second thought - she'd just brush her off. But Jennie was different somehow..."Whoa, earth to Lisa."

A voice startled Lisa out of her thoughts, and she looked over to see Chaeyoung walking on her side down the hallway.

"You just wandering around aimlessly, or, are you trying to get to the fourth period?"

"Both, I guess?" Lisa admitted with a sigh.

"What's on your mind? Thinking about that Nancy girl?" Lisa was a bit caught off guard by that question.

"Nancy?"

"Yeah, I was wondering if you had a thing for her since you've been bringing her around with us," Chaeyoung said.

'No, I just wanted to help her out since she's always being harassed by Jennie." Lisa sighed.

"I feel like I'm the only one in this school who goes against the 'princess's' wishes."

"I don't know about that," Chaeyoung replied. "I don't think Jennie is the only reason people don't hang out with Nancy?" Lisa stopped in her tracks and turned to her friend.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Chaeyoung put her hand on her chin as if she was thinking hard.

"I'm not sure, actually. I feel like there was an incident freshman year involving someone named Nancy...but I can't completely remember."

"An incident?" Lisa echoed.

"Maybe it's just another one of Jennie's rumours."

"Maybe, " Chaeyoung conceded. The two continued walking.

"But you should still be careful."

"You're always telling me that."

"Because you look at things too face-value, Lisa," Chaeyoung remarked, giving Lisa a playful shove

"Makes me worried about you."

"Yeah, yeah. I appreciate it." I feel like Jennie said something similar about me.

"By the way, a senior friend is having a party this Friday." Chaeyoung said.

"You totally have to go with me and Jungkook."

"Ugh," Lisa grunted, complaining. High school parties were the worst. Back in her old school she nearly got arrested when a house party got busted by the cops for underage drinking.

"No complaining. You're coming whether you like it or not!" Lisa smiled.

"Well, I guess I can't argue with that." Maybe it'd take her mind off of the whole Jennie thing for a bit...Before Lisa knew it, the week was nearly over and Thursday's tutoring session rolled around. Lisa debated just ditching it - she wasn't super interested in harassing Jennie anymore.

But some vague sense of curiosity brought her feet to the library before she could really think about what she was doing. She entered the study room and, sure enough, the pretty brunette was sitting in her usual spot at the table. She was already working on whatever homework - it didn't even look like math.

"Hey," Lisa muttered, and Jennie hardly even acknowledged her with a nod. Lisa got her stuff ready and sat down. She was already feeling suffocated by this marked silence.

Is she that pissed at me? Lisa wondered.

But she still showed up today...Not knowing what to say, Lisa simply started working on her Calculus homework. She was still pretty lost in the class, but she'd managed to barely keep herself afloat by looking stuff up online.

Obviously, it would be easier if she could get some actual tutoring. The silence continued as the two girls focused on their schoolwork. The initial awkwardness slowly faded away into something somewhat peaceful. Lisa had never felt so relaxed in Jennie's presence...the girl had never been this quiet before.

Sometimes Lisa would sneak glances at the brunette in between her math problems. As much as a bitch as she was, Jennie was extremely pretty. And when she was so quiet and focused she had a sort of mature beauty to her. Sometimes her brows would knit together when she became particularly engrossed in thought, and Lisa couldn't help but find that....kinda cute?

No, no, what am I thinking? Lisa flushed a little bit as she desperately tried to shoo these invasive thoughts away.

The blonde tried desperately to throw herself into the Calculus problem she was working on, but she realized that she'd never seen this type of equation. She flipped through her book to find where it was explained, but honestly, it looked like an alien had written it.

Fuck, this is probably gonna be on tomorrow's quiz. Lisa glanced at Jennie for a split second. No way she's going to help me...But Lisa reminded herself that she wasn't scared of the ice queen, so what was the harm in asking her on the minuscule chance she'd be willing to help? She'll just say something bitchy and Lisa will look it up herself online later, "Hey, Jennie?"

The other girl seemed almost startled that Lisa was speaking to her. Her piercing cat-eyes looked up to meet Lisa's, and Lisa felt a very unprecedented shiver run down her spine.

"Um, I know you said you wouldn't help me and all..." Lisa scratched her cheek nervously. "But can you please just explain this one particular problem? I'm just not picking up how the book's explaining it."

Jennie stared at Lisa wordlessly for a few seconds .

Then she sighed. "Fine. Just one problem."

Lisa was pretty caught off guard by the girl's willingness to help her. "Really?"

"Yes, before I change my mind," Jennie snapped.

Lisa slid the worksheet over to Jennie and Jennie explained it after looking it over for a second. She explained it so fluidly and precisely that Lisa pretty much understood it immediately. It was almost as if they'd forgotten about their drama and were normal fellow students. And Lisa couldn't help herself when she stared at the brunette gesturing to the textbook page, all focused and eloquent.

For a few seconds, her heart started beating so loud that she was worried Jennie would even hear it.

"There you go," Jennie shoved the book and worksheet back at Lisa.

"Now be quiet again. You're a lot more bearable when you're not talking incessantly.'' There's the bitch I'm used to.

"Right back at you," Lisa replied, and she returned to her school work. Before she knew it, the tutoring session time was up and the two of them were packing their stuff to go.

This session had been rather...pleasant? A strange feeling to have when in Jennie's presence. Lisa knew this didn't put them on any sort of friendly terms whatsoever...but she couldn't stop herself from asking.

"Are you, uh, going to that party on Friday?" Jennie, once again, seemed startled that Lisa was talking to her, and she paused for a second while putting her books in her backpack. She resumed her packing up, her normal resting bitch face settling.

"Of course not. I don't do disgusting shit like that." And with that, Jennie slipped her backpack on and sauntered out of the room.

Lisa sighed.

Good to see she's still herself...
