Jen's POV

Yesterday was crazy. I saw everything happen. The whole confession. See, I had been onto Nikko since the day he arrived. I saw the way Mac looked at him. I've known he was bi-sexual since 3rd grade. He was completely open about it. I just... When I saw the passion they had for each other, I felt..jealous? 

Why? I don't know. Maybe its the fact that they love each other so much that they won't be separated until death.. I have this talent where I can tell how someone is feeling no matter the situation. I can tell they love each other to the end of the world.

Right after I congratulated Nikko and Mac, I walked home, alone. I usually walk home with the boys but I felt like I needed time away from them. I felt like breaking down yet I don't know why. I should be happy for them. Maybe its the fact that they all have someone they love deeply. I can tell Jac loves someone.

Who though?

I feel like I should avoid them for a while. I mean- I can have 'uncle' Jeffrey give me a ride. I already texted the girls and Jenna said she would be more than happy to reunite the group. So today, Jeffrey is driving me to school early, where I am to meet up with Jenna, Brooke, and Christine. I didn't tell the boys which I kinda regret but I don't feel like talking to them right now. I need time with my old friends.

~10 Minutes Later~ 

I decided to switch up my attire for today; something less....modern me. I used to wear this style all the time but I stopped after the group separated. We all decided to wear what we used to; a hoodie, light jeans, and some casual shoes. I was wearing a light teal/green hoodie, light blue jeans, and my old Converse. Personally, I prefer this style than my normal 'formal' one. 

"AUNTIE CAN YOU TELL UNCLE JEFFREY THAT IM READY?", I yelled from upstairs. "Sure, hun!". She's a wonderful aunt other than the fact that she thinks I need therapy because of the plane incident.

*DING DONG*

"Hun, can you get the door?", Auntie yelled from downstairs. "Sure, Auntie!". I open the door and Jeffrey is standing there. "Hey, Jeffrey! Thanks for driving me to school today!" "Hey, munchkin! No worries, I actually need to talk to one of your teachers so it works out perfectly!".  I say goodbye to Auntie and then get into Jeffrey's car. He brought his less noticeable one which is good. I don't want to make a show of myself. I text the girls.

JenniDaGirl: Hey girls! I'm heading to school right now. Where should we meet up?

BrookeTheBookWorm: Hmmm..... Maybe at the big tree?

JennaRoRo: Yeah, the Frientree!

Christie: Sounds good to me!

The big tree. Different than the tree I met Jac under. Jenna likes to call the big tree the 'Frientree' because well, I really don't know. It's sorta our iconic spot, or was. Whenever someone needed to find us, that's where we would be. I was getting out of the car when my phone buzzed. It was the boys' group chat. I decided that I wouldn't respond, but rather only read the conversation.

MrMacMac: Hey, anyone want something from 7-Eleven?

TheJacJac: I'll take some chips

NikkoDaGayBoi: I'll take a cherry slushie

MrMacMac: Mkay, see you in 5

They comepletely forgot I was in the group chat..... They are getting slushies and chips without me...

*JenniDaGirl has left the conversation*

I slowly put my phone away. Its a Monday so I'm free after 2:10 PM. I usually spend it with Jac and Mac and now with Nikko but I feel like spending it with the girls. I walk towards the Frientree, feeling alone and forgotten.
