jess

Jess was studying for midterms. Well, she was trying to study, but Luke kept texting her. She wasn't just going to ignore him, though, so she texted Luke back.

hey luke

hmm?

are you ready for midterms

what

midterms

what about midterm

the tests?

Jess waited for the grey little bubble to pop up, signaling that Luke was typing, but it never came. She sighed and tossed her phone onto her bed, refocusing on her notes, but was lost. What the fuck was an intermolecular force, anyway?

its fine

ive gotta go byeee

Jess was worried for Luke's grades. Polyatomic ions were pretty important, at least in her class. Maybe he just didn't learn them yet? That could be a possibility, as Jess' biology class fell behind last school year and her teacher had to remake the midterm exam. Luke seemed rather uncomfortable when Jess mentioned midterms, so she decided she wouldn't bring it up around him again.

Jess was actually able to get some studying done, which made her feel better about her chances of getting an 'A' on her tests. If she didn't get a good grade, she'd probably be ridiculed by Danny, since she already knew he would get very high scores. Jess decided to text Danny just to see how it was going.

Hey, how's it going?

How's what going?

How's studying for midterms going?

Oh, it's going well. How about you?

I'm a little bit distracted, but it's okay.

What are you distracted by?

Just my parents.

Okay, that was a lie. Her parents were in the downstairs family room not bothering her at all. It didn't matter though, she couldn't just tell Danny that some other guy was occupying her thoughts, even if it was innocent friendship. He'd be upset, and Jess couldn't deal with an argument at that moment.

What are they doing?

They just keep trying to see how I'm doing, which is fine, but it disrupts me and then I have to settle in all over again.

They're just concerned for you.

I know, but I'm trying to study for these really important tests. You know how it is.

Yes, but I also know that you're overreacting.

I'm not overreacting...

You're complaining that they're distracting you by checking in on you, when you're distracting yourself even more by texting me.

You're also distracting me.

Okay.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Lynn sighed. That was a pretty  boring conversation. Jess felt that Danny was upset with her. She did understand that she was disturbing him, but he was being downright rude. It was probably going to be alright in the end, though. It always was. That was how she stayed with Danny for so long. She'd annoy him and he'd get upset, but he'd calm down and everything would be back to normal the next day.

Sometimes Jess wished things didn't go back to normal. Even if they'd fight, he was never passionate enough about the topic to make a big deal about it. It sometimes annoyed Jess, because she felt like he just didn't care enough to argue about something. Jess felt dumb for feeling this way, but she couldn't help it. She almost felt that she was more into Danny than he was into her because of this. She felt she was more invested in their relationship. Would Jess bring it up to Danny though? No way. She never liked bringing negative things up to Danny, especially because she knew he'd be more concerned about not studying to listen to her than the actual problem she was talking about.

Jess just needed a wake up call, and boy was she about to get one.

...

oh boy a wake up call?
