Jenn's and Wally's Date

Chapter 8: Jenn's and Wally's Date

The sun was shining down on Jump City. It was a beautiful weekend day. A certain pink haired teen walked down the crowded streets of Jump City. She had received a call from her best friend. Apparently Jade wanted to go do some girl stuff today and had asked Jenn to meet her at the pizza parlor. The goth sighed. Knowing how Jade was she had planned a day full of surprises. She finally made it to the pizza parlor, her eyes looking around the room. No Jade. It wasn't like her to be late. Jenn decided to take a seat and wait for her friend to arrive.

He walked down the street all the way to the pizza parlor. Roy had called and said to meet him there. At first Wally didn't really feel up to it, tried for his all-nighter of doing homework. Then Roy said the magic words. I'm buying. That sealed the deal. Wally would never turn down free food. He finally made it to the pizza parlor and walked in. His blue eyes scanned the room. No Roy, and no Alain. Strange. That's when he saw a certain crush of his. There was Jenn, sitting by herself sipping a soda. He made his way up to her.

"Hey."

Jenn looked up. "Oh. Hey, Wally."

"Mind if I join you?"

"Oh, no. Please, take a seat."

Wally sat opposite of her, making himself comfortable.

"So, what brings you here."

"Waiting for Jade. You?"

"Waiting for Roy and Alain."

They sat in silence until a teenager in the pizza parlor uniform walked up to them. "Hey, you guys are Wally and Jenn, right?"

Both Wally and Jenn nodded. The boy dug through his pocket. He pulled out a envelope and handed it to Jenn.

She raised a brow. "What's this?"

The boy shrugged. "I don't know. Some carrot-top kid told me to give this to you."

The boy walked away and went back to work, leaving a puzzled Wally and Jenn. They both had an idea on who this carrot-top kid was. Jenn ripped open the white envelope and pulled out a folded letter. She opened it and didn't notice when a plastic card fell out. She read the letter, her eyes going wide when she did. She mumbled something and stood up from her seat, leaving the letter and Wally behind. He watched her leave and wondered why. He grabbed the letter and read it.

To Wally and Jenn

Sorry we ditched you guys but it was necessary. We know you guys have some feelings for each other, but are to dumb to admit it, so we planned to get you guys together. You have to spend the whole day together, and we have sources so we'll know if you did or not. Have fun on your date.

-Roy, Jade and Alain

P.S.- We left Roy's credit card just in case. Have fun!

Wally read the letter twice just in case. He noticed the gold card that was on the table. With out a second thought he grabbed it and ran out to catch up with Jenn.

She was mad, no she was beyond mad. She was pissed. She told Jade to help her find the boy that was leaving her roses, not put her on a date with Wally. It's not that she didn't like Wally, it's just he was a little...dorky. But she had to admit he was nice and kind of cute. She shook those thoughts out of her mind when she heard someone calling for her.

There was Wally, running up to her. She stopped in her tracks and waited for him to catch up, which didn't take long. One thing about Wally was he was very fast. He caught up to her and looked straight into her eyes. She looked back, not sure of what to say.
