• Jessie's POV •

The first day of school was over. I decided to walk home. When I got home I got a call from Leyla.

Phone convo:

L: "Hey girl, I must've missed you cause I didn't see you anymore after school?"

J: "Yes, sorry I decided to walk home. Clear my head."

L: "What happened?"

J: "Well, did you see that new boy Nate?"

L: "Umh who didn't." She said laughing.

J: "Ahaha, well he sat next to me in most of my classes and we talked and I showed him where he should be and stuff. But Justin acted really weird. Like I waved at him and he just looked down and stuff."

L: "Someone's jealous."

J: "Don't act silly. But the worst part is that I got paired up with him for this English project."

L: "Okay, listen to me. Don't make such a big deal about it okay. He is probably having his manly period or something."

J: "Yea, you're right. I'll text him later.

L: "That's my girl. Okay I really have to go, my mom is whining that I have to help her with the groceries. We'll talk later okay?"

J: "Yes, talk to you later. Bye babe."

L: "Byebye, love you." She says hanging up.

I grabbed a pack of cookies and sat down on the couch. I decided to text Justin.

"Hey Justin, wanna come over for that project? I have cookies and I'm in a good mood so I might share them. – Cookie monster Jesse" I press send and wait for an answer.

• Justin's POV •

I just messing on my phone when I got a text.

"Hey Justin, wanna come over for that project? I have cookies and I'm in a good mood so I might share them. – Cookie monster Jesse"

I smiled to my phone when my mom walked in.

"Why are you smiling like that?" My mom asks.

"Oh nothing, It's Jesse. She asked me to come over" I said while putting on my shoes.

"Jesse? Nice, nice girl. I can see what you see in her." My mom says with a smirk.

"Mom, come on I don't like her. And besides its for a school project." I tell her crossing my arms.

"Okay okay whatever you say, have fun sweetie." My mom says giving me a kiss on my cheek.

"Bye mom." I call walking out the door.

I walked over to Jesse's house and rang the doorbell. Moments later Jesse came and opened the door with chocolate on her face.

"Hey" Jesse said with a smile on her face.

I didn't said anything because all I did was laugh like crazy.

"What's wrong with you Justin?" She asks starting to laugh too.

"You really are a cookie monster" I said in-between laughs while pointing at her face.

She looks at a mirror and started laughing. She cleaned her face.

"Can't help it, I just love cookies. Now come in you idiot." Jesse says walking inside.

"Sit down sit down, do you want something to drink?" Jesse's asks me.

"Umh sure" I say while sitting on the couch.

Jesse got me a glass of Coca-Cola and sat next to me.

"So how was school?" Jesse asks me.

"Okay I guess." I say laughing.

"Why did you acted so weird today?" She asks me unsure.

"What do you mean?" I asks knowing exactly what she means.

"You know, you just kind of ignored me all day." She says.

"Oh, no I didn't ignore you. I just didn't really had my day." I say.

"Okay, so umh. The project." She said but then got a call.

"Sorry." She says smiling and picking up her phone.

"Hey Nate.... Yes, really good listen, I'm working on my project with Justin can I call you back later? ..... Yes sure, just text me.... Okay bye" I hear her saying and then hanging up.

"Sorry about that" She says smiling.

"Don't worry" I say with a fake smile.

Then she got a text, she looked at it and she blushed and smiled.

There it was again, that feeling of jealousy.
