Chapter Seven

Jac's POV

Jen told me what she did right after Nikko took Mac to the nurse. She said that she had convinced Adam not to kill him. She is such a great friend. She would be a great gf... GAH DON'T THINK LIKE THAT. S-She probably likes a really smart kid! Anyways, Jen told me to stay behind after everyone filed out of the quad. I did, and so did she.  When I looked around, I saw that the quad was completely empty. We were alone. Just her and I. All alone.

I was happy but also nervous at the same time. "W-What did you want to talk about?", I stuttered. "Well I uhhh. I wanted to tell you this for a while but uhh I-". She was interrupted when Adam butted in. "Hey, uhh, Jennifer? Can I talk to you? Alone?". He sounded ...nervous? Jen seemed a bit nervous when I was talking to her, but now she sounded like herself again, confident. "Sure thing! How about we go sit under that tree?". All Adam did was nod. "I'll wait for you near room 12B. I left my music book and I really need it for tomorrow. Text me if you need me," I said. I felt kind of sad. She was taking him under our tree. The tree that Mac introduced us under. Our tree. Im not going to lie, I felt a pang of jealousy. I know shes not my gf and that shes only my best friend but I couldnt help feeling jealous. Maybe I'll ask her to the dance. Thats coming up pretty soon.

Jen's POV

I knew how the conversation was going to go down so I stopped him before he said anything. "Before you say anything, I'm not going to tell your friends. I would've but you put Mac in his place. And hes alive. Thats all that matters. He just lets his heart get in the way at times.". He looked relieved. "Thank you so much, Jenny". Jenny. He called me Jenny. He hadn't used that nickname since he was my big buddy.

There was a good minute of silence before my phone went off. It was Jac. "Uhh, Adam? I gotta go. They just let Mac out and I want to talk to Jac about something.". He looked a bit sad when he said, "Oh...okay. I uhh. Just don't tell anyone about Choir and we are cool". I walked towards room 12B. This day had been one of the most stressful days. All I wanted to do is talk to Jac.

Jac's POV

I was waiting patiently outside of room 12B when I saw her waving towards my direction. She spoke first, "Sorry that took so long! And look at you! Actually taking off your hoodie for once!". Uh oh. I comepletely forgot I had removed my hoodie when I was looking for my band book. The one day I don't wear long sleeve is the day I take off my hoodie. I just hope she doesn't notice my-. Jen's eyes widened and she looked scared for once. She had noticed. "J-Jac, are those....bruises all along both your arms?". Shit.
