To Capture A Heart

7.

//

So much had changed in the span of Jennie's life, especially over the past month. As the season moved through Spring into Summer, her days blended with the same mundane activities as they always had. However, the only bright spot were the days Jennie saw Lisa. 

Her mind often wandered to not so safe territory when she saw her. She'd frequently catch herself watching her with longing. Lisa didn't come everyday, but when she did, Jennie found that her workout was much more energetic. Looking at her, and thinking about her gave her the energy to want to exercise. In her mind, since Lisa wouldn't speak to her, she thought she could show her that she wasn't the same person she'd been in school. 

Jennie hadn't shared with Jisoo or Rosé yet that she'd bumped into Lisa, choosing to keep it to herself as to avoid her friends from interfering. It had been a running thing for years that the three of them had tried to find Lisa. They wanted to apologize to her as a collective for their compliance in Irene's plan. She didn't want them butting in to anything she was trying to build with Lisa on her own. She'd told no one about it. Not even her mother during their end of the month calls. Those were tense enough.

Jennie's relationship with her parents could only be described as strained at best. It had been for years. Her parents once held her in a high regard, that might of been why Jennie thought of herself above others. It wasn't that her parents were snooty like Irene's, they were regular upper middle class citizens. Jennie was given anything she wanted and back then all she'd wanted was to be Cheer captain. She was such a girly girl. Her hair had to be perfect, her make up and clothes had to be designer. She wore lots of skirts and heels and was considered only second prettiest in their group to Irene. Jennie didn't mind being second. She'd had such a crush on Irene she just liked being acknowledged.

Back then, all Irene had to do was snap her fingers and Jennie jumped. She literally worshipped her, and that came with having to sometimes do things she didn't want to do. 

Jennie and Irene had been friends first before inviting Rosie and Jisoo into their group. She developed a crush on her when they were in Jr. High. The two were beginning to come into their looks, and Irene was obsessed with looking perfect. It rubbed off on Jennie. This was also around the time when Jennie had started to look at girls differently. She was insanely attracted to her best friend and it scared her, so she'd pretend that she wasn't watching when Irene was changing clothes or putting on make up. Her hair was so pretty, and she always smelled so good...

But Irene grew manipulative. She'd developed this lust for popularity. As they entered high school she was determined to solidify herself as someone who was destined to be known and regarded by everyone for her beauty, the way she dressed, and her brains. Jennie had to give it to her, Irene was very smart. She always got straight A's and barely had to try. But she hid most of her good attributes behind being a bitch.

Then, she started flirting with Jennie. Their sophomore year of high school seemed to put everyone's hormones into overdrive. Jennie had just started dating her first boyfriend James. He was sweet, but he was a jock who cared little for doing school work and focused more on working out and football. He took her virginity in the back of his car. She didn't even know if he'd done anything until he collapsed on top of her. But the next time they did it was a little better. Then the next time, and the next time...it got to a point that all Jennie seemed to be doing back then was fucking her boyfriend any chance she got. Irene, though she encouraged her friends appetit, didn't like that she was no longer the center of Jennie's attention. 

She started wanting to hang out everyday which didn't leave Jennie and her boyfriend any time to see much of each other. They still found time to hook up at school, but they were tempting fate since there weren't many places they wouldn't get caught. When Irene found out about that, she started to make Jennie feel bad for wanting to be with her boyfriend. So, she only made time for him when she could. Meanwhile, Irene had begun being more touch-feely with her. Running her fingers through Jennie's hair, holding her hand, kissing her on the neck just randomly. It did funny things to Jennie's heart but she didn't think much of it...that is until Irene kissed her. Then, Irene put her hand up Jennie's skirt and touched her through her panties until she orgasmed.
