Death of the Perfect Girl

52- The Pretenders pt2

"Jenna?" Poppy furrowed her brows barely recognizing her old friend. "Hi."

Jenna titled her head at Poppy and gave her a smile. "I see you two are dating now."

Poppy and Fisher looked at each other, then they looked at her.

"I made that happen for you, remember?"

Poppy tried not to look irritated. "What are you-"

"I was invited," Jenna looked at Sadie.

Sadie smiled at her thinking that Jenna was only there to get back at Poppy. She didn't know that Jenna was out for revenge on her.

Jenna looked at Pearce. "Ooo, and Brody's here too."

Pearce shook his head. "It's Mr. Pearce."

"Not anymore. You're not my teacher." Jenna walked into the house. She looked at the people standing around in little groups. "Hmmm," Jenna looked back at Sadie. "You invited an audience. Of course you did."

Sadie snorted.

"Do you have beer at this party? Brody's won't rat on us. Right, Brody?"

Pearce looked at Sadie. "You don't have beer...right?"

Sadie glared at Jenna and screwed up her lip. "They're in the fridge."

Pearce sighed. "Sadie."

"Good girl," Jenna winked at her then she walked into the kitchen.

"Sadie," Pearce looked down at her," I'm a teacher. Your teacher."

Sadie rolled her eyes.

"You said this was a small get together for your birthday. I can't be here if there are illegal things going on. I'll have to report this to the police."

"No," Sadie quickly looked at him with a fake look of worry. "Brody, please. I only bought the beer because I knew that people would come if I had it here. We won't drink."

"They're already drinking," Fisher pointed out, watching a kid walk into the living room with a bottle between his lips.

Pearce shook his head. "I'm sorry. I have to go-"

Sadie grabbed his arm. "Brody, wait." She looked into his eyes. "Don't you want to use this as an opportunity to tell them about God?"

Pearce stared at her, then he sighed. "Okay. But you need to take the beers away from them. I don't want them drinking near me."

"Great," Sadie smiled.

He turned to walk into the living room and her smiled disappeared. She started heading towards the kitchen.

Fisher looked at Poppy. "What did we just witness?"

Poppy turned to him just us confused. "I don't know but all I can hear in my mind now is Brody's- I mean, Mr. Pearce's first name."

Jenna stood in the kitchen with a beer in her hand.

Sadie walked over to her with smile. "Could you go drink that somewhere other than the kitchen please?"

Jenna smirked at her. She burped, then she took another sip of her beer. "No."

Sadie stepped closer to her. "Get out of the kitchen."

Jenna raised her brows then she walked over to the fridge and grabbed another beer. She walked away.

Sadie quickly opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of orange juice. She poured out a glass then she poured some vodka into it.
