Jennie puts on the least flattering outfit ever and watches as Jisoo, Rose, and Lily cringe. She rolls her eyes. She's wearing simple boyfriend jeans and a t-shirt. She's not dressing up for a date she didn't want in the first place.
"Don't start pouting, i'm not dressing up." Jennie tells them. Jisoo then starts laughing as something just popped into her mind.
"God, this is going to be so awkward. He's probably going to be in a nice suit and jacket with a tie and you're gonna show up like you just played tag for two hours with Lia." Jisoo tells her in-between laughter. Jennie can't help but chuckle a little.
She knows the conversation she needs to have with Wells. She doesn't see him like that. She frankly doesn't see anyone like that and knows for certain she never will. She hopes it doesn't change things between them. She enjoys being able to have someone she can confide in and understand. Soon Lia opens her bedroom door and hops onto the bed with the other girls.
"Hey monkey." Lily greets the little girl. She beams at her and starts crawling over a sprawled out Rose, hitting her in the stomach which makes her yelp.
"Sorry Aunt Rose!" She calls out as she sits on Lily's lap.
Then Aden is poking his head in, Mia standing behind him shyly. He ended up taking her out on that date and talked it out with Jennie. Jennie found out she's going to be a junior this next school year. She's very smart, has the highest GPA in the school. He then told her that he really likes her. He then explained the whole story. She's the one that has been helping tutor him in Math pretty much the whole year. They didn't like each other at first. She despised him thinking he was just a dumb football player, he didn't like her because he thought she was stuck up. Soon they spent more time together and learned more about each other. He said the turning point was her catching him at the cemetery crying in front of Lisa's grave about a month ago. He said he was bringing girls over because he thought if he made her jealous, he'd know she liked him. Then the day Jennie caught them on the couch was actually the day they confessed their feelings to one another. Jennie may have felt a little guilty about thinking she was going to be another girl he brings around and discards. She's terrified of Jennie though. Embarrassed still that she had caught them.
"Wow, you look terrible." Aden deadpans. Everyone on the bed starts laughing hard. She even sees Mia laugh quietly. Jennie rolls her eyes at everyone.
"Why are you all here anyways? It's not a real date, like at all." Jennie tells them all. The laughter dies down and Aden and Mia step fully into the bedroom.
"I'm here to tell you to not listen to Aunt Jisoo and make it clear to him before you start ordering that you don't see it as a date." Jisoo glares at Aden, and he smirks at her. "But, I think your outfit might just be the sign to give him." Aden says. It makes everyone start laughing again.
"Lia, cover your eyes." Jennie tells her. She does as told and Jennie flips everyone in the room off. "Okay, you're good baby." Lia uncovers her eyes and looks confused. Lily leans down to her ear.
"Your mommy made a bad hand gesture." Lily tells the little girl. Jennie faux glares at Lily.
"The point of covering her eyes was so she didn't know I made a bad hand gesture!" Jennie tells her. Lily starts laughing and Lia just joins along with her. Jennie then looks to the clock and realizes she's five minutes late to meeting Wells downtown. "Shit!" Jennie yells out.
"Swear jar!" Everyone in the room yells out in unison. Jennie rolls her eyes and grabs her jacket.
"Okay, be good. Aden, Mia can't stay over late and please for the love of god, keep your door open. If I hear it was closed at any point, you're grounded. Lia, be good to your aunts. You can stay up an hour later but that's it. I mean it. Seriously guys, don't let her swindle you by batting her eyelashes. Alright, see you later!" Jennie says quickly. Everyone calls out goodbye and Jennie makes her way downstairs and out the door. Not before depositing a dollar into the swear jar though.
