Girl next door - Jenna Ortega x reader

5.

~ Y/N POV ~

"So I just have to read out Pugsley his lines?" I ask as I look down at the script. "Yeah. And if you can coach me a little with how to look to be the most emotionless and intimidating, that would be great. Since I don't see myself." Jenna explains with a grin as she had put her script aside. "Don't you need to put on the outfit?" "Should I?" "You want to really become Wednesday right? I think you should, for the sake of getting into character." I suggest as I look at her with a soft smile. I was so nervous to be around her and to be doing this with her, but I tried to act as cool as possible. To hopefully get used to it and relax a bit. "You want to see me as Wednesday so bad?" She asks with a wink. My cheeks burn up as she wasn't wrong. I did want to see her as Wednesday, but that was not why I suggested it in the first place. At least that wasn't the only reason. "I'm joking. Look at you all blushing. I'm just playing with you." Jenna chuckles as she took the outfit of the bed as laid it down over a chair beside her. She started to proceed to undress as I quickly turn around as I felt flustered. "I'm so used to getting dressed with a lot of people around me that I forgot that it might be uncomfortable for people. Sorry bout that. I should have warned you." Jenna apologizes as she continues to get dressed. "Oh no don't apologize. It's not a problem at all. I'm just socially awkward and where you have hundreds and thousands of people around you daily, I have my mom and your aunt. that's it. so I need to get used to it. That's all." I explain as I look at the ground. Jenna chuckles. "Well, maybe we could help eachother then. You'll help me with Wednesday and I'll help you to be less socially awkward- as you call it." She suggests with a chuckle. "Alright. I guess?" I reply with a nervous chuckle. "Common you want people to see and hear your music and art right? Let me help you with getting more comfortable around people so you can open up a little more." Jenna suggests. "How do you know about that?" I ask as I kept my eyes at the floor. "I listen when people tell me stuff you know. Your mom told me about your art and music interest and I can only imagine that you want to share it with people, but are too afraid too. Like you are too afraid to look at me right now." Jenna states as my cheeks burn up again. "That's different." "Is it? Then look at me." I gulp softly as I slowly look up at Jenna. Who stood there halfway dressed already in her Wednesdays skirt and blouse on. I let out a small breath as I was glad she wasn't showing more skin so to say.

"See not so bad huh?" Jenna grins. I shook my head with a soft smile in return. She was really comfortable with people looking at her. She probably has people helping her with her wardrobe daily for movies and series. And I'm sure she had to be comfortable with showing skin in movies too. Jenna continued to get dressed she stopped at her tie. "Well we'll skip the tie since I don't know how to put that on." She states as she throws it onto the bed. "I know how to." I hear myself say before I can even think it through. "Can you help me out? That would be great." She smiles. I nod as my hand start to get sweaty of the nerves. I grab the tie from the bed as I walk up to her. I've never stood so close to her before as we were inches away from eachother. The few inches height difference was more noticeable now that I stood right in front of her, slowly wrapping the tie around her neck. I gulp softly as I try to focus on my hands and the tie. And not Jenna her face, inches away from mine, looking up at me.

"There." I say softly as I gulp and fix the tie for her. "Thank you. I should probably have two braids too huh?" She asks with a chuckle. I nod as I eye her hair. "It would make it completely Wednesday. But I can't help you with that. I'm not great with hair." I admit as she chuckles in response. I can braid actually. Not great, but I could. I just couldn't touch her hair and be so close to her again. It made me feel nervous and all flustered. "No problem I can make some braids. Let me just grab some hair ties and give me like 5 minutes." Jenna states. I nod in response as I was too nervous to even look at her with that Wednesdays school outfit on. She looked so good. I love my creepy stuff so her in combination with Wednesdays was making me the most nervous I've ever felt. Or was it star struck? Or a crush? Either way- whatever it was. It made me nervous. "I'll be in the bathroom for just a moment, I'll be back soon." She says as she twirls around one of the hair ties around her finger. "Alright, I'll be here." I reply as I see her grin and walk out the bedroom door. I'll be here? Seriously y/n? I'm really making a fool of myself. Just go over the script to distract yourself.
