*Jennie's POV*

I couldn't take it anymore! One more day without a flirty comment from Lisa and I was literally going to explode. I wasn't going to go up to her and directly tell her that I missed hearing compliments, arguing, and having someone to roll my eyes at. I didn't need her arrogance to grow higher, although I highly doubted that it was possible.

"Lisa, I need to talk to you." I sat in the desk in front of hers waiting for her to acknowledge me but she didn't. She just scribbled a picture on her notebook. "Lisa, please."

She let out a huff and leaned back in her seat to give me an annoyed look. "What do you want?"

"I wanted to say that... I forgive you."

"You forgive me? You forgive me?" Lisa let out a noise of disbelief, looking at me as if I were unreal. "You're the one who went on some rant calling me annoying and saying how we were never going to happen. I'm the one who should be forgiving you!"

"In my defense, you had it coming. Not everyone wants to be greeted with "Hey baby. How about we ditch this place and go somewhere a little more private. Unless a public place is your thing." " I imitated her infamous wink. "But it's okay now because I forgive you."

"Will you stop saying that when you're the one who's in the wrong? And what are you smiling about?"

I didn't realize it but I did in fact have a smile on my face. Sitting there going back and forth with Lisa was exactly what I hated most in life, yet at the same time it was exactly what I craved the most too. It was a relief to hear her voice again even if she wasn't shamelessly trying to pick me up. I just wanted to hear her. I wasn't going to tell her that though.

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing. If it'll make you feel better, then Lisa, I'm s-" The word became lodged in my throat. "I'm so--"

Lisa cocked an eyebrow and smiled at my misery. "You're what?"

"I'm trying to say I'm sor...I'm sor..." Curse my ability to not be able to apologize. It's just I'm rarely--I'm taking super duper extra rare-- that I'm wrong. "I'm sorry."

"I accept your awful attempt an apology," Lisa smiled at me.

"Cherish it because I promise it'll be the only time this happens."

I went back to my seat trying not to show that I was doing back flips of happiness on the inside at the fact that things would finally go back to the way they were. My life could gain it's balance back. I looked over at Lisa who smirked at me and then turned her attention back to her drawing.

Thank goodness.

I happily ran over to Rose and Jisoo at lunch with the biggest smile on my face. "Guess what? Lisa and I are officially talking again!" I jumped up and down, squealing in delight.

"For someone who hates Lisa, you sure do like her," Jisoo said.

"That's only because she's the key to what makes my life normal. I mean I won't be completely thrilled about her lame attempts to sleep with me but whatever."

"I don't think that's going to be happening anymore." Rose had a grin on her face that didn't seem slightly genuine to me.

"Whoa," Jisoo exclaimed. "What's with the sudden hostility?"

"I'm not being hostile!" Rose took at deep breath when she realized her tone was in fact hostile. "I'm just saying that I don't think Lisa is going to go back to liking her."

"I do," I said.

"I don't."

"Well I think she will," I snapped, growing frustrated with her.

"Well I don't think. I know she won't," she fired back.

"You're right about one of those things," I muttered loud enough for her to hear me.

"Will you two please stop arguing," Jisoo asked.

"We aren't arguing," I insisted. "We're just having a discussion."

"A pretty intense one "

"I'm just curious, Rose." I said her name as if it were some infectious disease. "Why do you seem so certain that she won't want to be with me?"

"She won't want to be with you because she's with me."

All of sudden it felt like the entire world had stopped. I waited for her to smile and tell me the real reason why, the way that Rose normally would, but she didn't.

"Lisa?" My stunned state was quickly replaced by anger and betrayal. "You're dating my Lisa?"

"Your Lisa?" Rose suddenly shot up from her chair looking at me with murderous eyes. If it weren't for Jisoo, who held a tight grip on her wrist, I'm certain Rose would've attacked me. "The same Lisa that you spent years rejecting because you think she'll be like all of your crappy exes? That Lisa?"

I leaned in closer to look her dead in the eye. "She liked me first! You're nothing but a second choice!"

"Yeah but look who gets to date her first," she sneered. I could my face turning redder and redder!

"You didn't even like her!"

"Neither did you," she shot back. "You only like her because she doesn't like you anymore, Jennie! Even if she decided that she did, you'd be with her after me. Now who's second choice?"

"Guys." We both looked at Jisoo who alerted us of the audience we had gathered from being louder than intended.

"Fuck you," I hissed.

"Why? Cause Lisa doesn't want to anymore?"

Not only did Rose stab me in the back but she actually had the decency to rip the knife out and shove it in my heart instead. I stormed out of the cafeteria feeling as if the world was closing in all around me.

It literally didn't make any sense. I might have felt slightly attracted to Lisa every now and then, however it was never anything that made me feel the way I currently did. It did explained the crushed feeling at had and why it bothered me way too much that I didn't have her attention anymore. Oh my god.

I love Lisa Manoban.
