I Hate U | Jenlisa

Chapter 32

On Tuesday, Jennie felt terrible.
Horrible.

She couldn't remember how she could have been so happy yesterday. It was as if her heart had fallen off a cliff. 
Falling was liberating for a second, beautiful... until she hit the ground.

Jennie had even found out the name of the girl who had been in Lisa's arms.
Seo Soojin.
She had gone to their school last year, but had dropped out after a few months and changed schools. The reasons were unknown.
And no, it wasn't crazy at all (or creepy) of Jennie to find out about a strange girl so quickly! She was just... curious.

Obviously she had gotten to know Lisa in her short time at the school.
And still knew her.
Well enough to hug her like that.

"You look like a zombie.",

said an amused voice directly behind her, startling Jennie enough to jump up.
After recovering from her shock, she glared angrily at Jisoo.

"How about a heads up?"

Jisoo just shrugged, unconcernedly.

"That would have scared you just as much, don't you think?"

"Then don't sneak up on me like that!"

Jennie whined.
Jisoo just laughed at her before looking at Jennie thoughtfully.

"You're in a bad mood."

"Thanks for the information, but I know that myself. So?",

Jennie hissed back.
She knew how she felt, she didn't need anyone to rub it in her face again.
Jisoo smiled.
Not her amused grin that said she was sheming again. No.
She smiled gently, as if she was afraid of hurting Jennie's feelings.

"Is it about Lisa?"

Jennie rolled her eyes.

"Not you too. It's enough that Irene's delusional.",

she grumbled.

"Hm? I'm not saying you have a thing for Lisa. I'm asking if your bad mood has anything to do with Lisa."

"Why would it?"

"You didn't bring her any food for the first time in two weeks."

Jisoo said with a neutral expression.
Her serious look didn't even give Jennie the chance to disagree. Instead, Jennie just sighed.

"It's nothing... I'm being silly."

"You're not. What's she done?"

Jennie smiled sadly.

"Nothing. She didn't do anything, that's the problem."

Jisoo blinked and scrutinized Jennie's face more closely before shaking her head slowly.

"No... it can't be..."

she mumbled to herself.
Jennie tilted her head questioningly.

"What can't be?"

"I toyed for a second with the idea that Irene was right. But that's about as likely as me getting struck by lightning tomorrow."

Jisoo said, shrugging her shoulders.
Jennie avoided her gaze.

"... You're not right, by the way. I brought food for her."

she said to change the subject.

"Really? Then why didn't you give it to her?"

Jisoo asked in surprise, following Jennie down the corridor.

"And where are we going right now
anyway?"
