A Jar Of Stars

Jennifer was one of those girls who was friends with everyone, but only talked to a select few of them. The ones she mainly talked to were, of course Brayden for one, Sadie Dover, a perky red head that could have a few laughs, but also had a serious side, Maddy Rogers, a sweet, quiet, shy little blonde that was a bit over sensitive at times, but she was a big comfort to those who needed it, and Kailey Rhodes, the one with crazy, purple hair who liked to tease Jennifer about Brayden. Even if Jenne didn't realize her crush, her friends sure did. Sadie stared at Jennifer's tray, her own being empty except for the section of green beans. Jennifer was on her phone, trying to find out where Kailey was and why she wasn't at lunch when she realized the girl staring. Jenne raised an eyebrow. "Can I help you?" She asked playfully. "Are you gonna eat that?" Sadie asked, pointing at the half eaten cookie on the brunette's plate, snatching it without waiting for an answer. Jennifer put her phone down and rolled her eyes at her friend, waiting anxiously for Brayden. She didn't know why she felt like this, maybe it was his new haircut? Sadie noticed the look of anticipation and chuckled softly. "Waiting for your boyfriend?" She asked teasingly. Jennifer's face turned magenta involuntarily. "H-He's not my boyfriend!" She stuttered, stuffing the hamburger they were having into the ginger's mouth. She nibbled it happily. Jennifer rolled her eyes and looked away grumpily. She didn't like him like that. They had been friends since before puberty, and she did not like him like that! Right?.. She sighed, hating her confusing feelings. She glanced at the door and sat up straight, her cute, thin-lipped smile spreading across her face, her dark chocolate eyes lighting up. There was a smile on his face too. Him. She couldn't get him out of her mind. His name kept running through her head. Brayden..
