The Inevitable Disaster || Jerrie

<Chapter 10>

<116 days before graduation>

She couldn't breathe.

Everything inside her is going to burst. Literally.

She settles down the greasy concoction back in it's box and inhale a sharp pinch of oxygen.

"Zayn, get one more." He was in the same state as his sister, chewing slower as if it will help him consume it easier. He shakes his head and doesn't speak.

"I'll do it then." Niall pushes pass the people surrounding him and grabs on a fifth slice of large pizza, the twins looking at him in disgust.

He masticates the folded piece and grins to himself. "I guess I win."

"Whatever." The blonde rolls her eyes. And Jade finds a bit of normalcy twirl in her stomach.

She absolutely misses Perrie. And them sitting apart from each other was making her head itch.

You see, they haven't spoken in days. But an announcement from their teacher helped reformed a tiny bond between the girls. They managed the highest grades for their home room wander and was rewarded with the free delivery card. Through the grumbles and groans from the losing teams, Perrie looks around to send a smile to the older girl who now sat somewhere else further away from her, only for her heart to flutter when she saw the brunette already looking at her with a banana grin.

As the blonde packed her books away after the bell, she felt a presence radiating behind her, making her look up. "Congratulations, Perrie. You got what you wanted." Jade's voice was unsure, not knowing if the blonde is going to acknowledge her or walk off like she did last time.

"Couldn't do it without you."

She offered a polite smile, almost too formal for the two girls, then she threw her bag behind her, an urge to turn back and tell her to screw their relationship with her brother burning into her thoughts.

Bad idea, Jadey. Bad idea.

"Actually Jade," She whipped around almost too fast, stumbling a bit.

"Yes?" Her voice was too excited to get called by the blonde and she internally face palmed.

Though, Perrie didn't notice, "We're using it the free delivery this Saturday. You want to go with us?"

Yes.

"With who?"

"Zayn and Niall."

Oh. Zayn... Nevermind.

It required all the molecules inside to convince her to shake her head. "No, thank you. I have somewhere to go on Saturday."

"With who?"

"My friends."

Perrie almost doubles back. Friends. Oh ya, I'm not the only one anymore.

"But it was a team effort. I can't celebrate by myself. Just come for at least an hour maybe?" Her voice sounded like devastation and it left no choice for the brunette.

She shook her own head, clicking her tongue at her whipped self. "I'll see what I can do."

She screams a shrill like noise, collapsing on the smaller girl for a tight embrace. Jade stiffened, inhaling down the lavender scent she's been longing for. Perrie felt like she was hugging disfunctional tree and let go in seconds.

She cleared her throat, "I'll see you then?"

Despite the closed door, a wail like scream came from the halls. And two loud bangs came after. "JADEYBOO! Hurry up, they might lock the door." The two girls twisting their necks to look at the window leading out to the hall, Perrie failing to see who was the source of sound.
