In my car, on my way home from school, after having messed up my last test completely. I didn’t mind, honestly. I was happy. Last night was perfect, I was almost graduating from this high school bullshit and I was going to my grandparents not long after.
After coming home, I checked my phone. Turned out I had a dozen of texts.
[Mom:] “have a nice flight later, honey. Ben and I are leaving for the airport soon. X”
I replied by wishing them a safe flight too, adding that I missed them a lot. I actually did start to miss them. As much as I enjoyed the time I had for myself, and the calmness of not having to answer questions about that boy I keep hanging out with, it could get kind of lonely. Especially in the evenings, when there was nothing left to watch. Not seeing her for another two weeks was kind of saddening in some way.
I continues scrolling through my notifications, saw some texts in the group convo from Zoey and Audrey, talking about (getting smashed at) a bunch of grad parties. I kind of ignored them, until Zoey asked if I was coming with them.
[Jenna @ Chicken Nuggets] “Yeah I totally would come but, remember how I’m hopping on a plane to Seattle?”
[Zoey @ Chicken Nuggets] “Oh yeah, I forgot lol”
[Jenna @ Chicken Nuggets] “I guess some things are easier to forget than others” I replied, aggravated at how they still managed to forget. I mean, I had mentioned my trip to Seattle at least 568 times… maybe they just plain didn’t care about me enough to remember…
[Audrey @ Chicken Nuggets] “Gosh Jenna are you still mad at us? That’s just complete bullshit. Don’t pretend like you always remember what we say, or like you always completely adore the decisions Zoe and I make. I’m happy for you get to go to Seattle, I’m happy you’re in love with this boy (idc that I don’t see how you can possibly like him, I’m just happy for you) and I’m happy you get to see your grandparents again and whatever, but I’m just fed up with you complaining about the things Zoey and I say.”
What the actual….
Slightly intimidated, but laughing at her random outburst I started typing my response. Usually, I would have probably broke down, but I was too happy to let this ruin my day.
[Jenna @ Chicken Nuggets] “I didn’t even say anything? Lol”
[Audrey @ Chicken Nuggets] “I quote: ‘some things are easier to forget than others’ like that doesn’t refer to what we said about tyler.”
[Jenna @ Chicken Nuggets] “Lol it honestly didn’t. But thank you for being happy for me. If you guys don’t mind, I’m going to get ready now. Have fun at the parties.”
It might have seemed a bit bitchier than intended, but I couldn’t care less right now.
[Tyler] “So, you had to be at the airport at nine right?”
[Jenna] “yas :)”
[Tyler] “okay sick. How was the exam? And at what time is your graduation?”
[Jenna] “I completely messed up haha, doesn’t matter though. I guess the teacher is now marking our tests but I made it anyways so yay for me.. It starts at 2:30 I think, and it’ll be over around 4:30”
[Tyler] “Shall I be your +1?”
[Jenna] “That’d be really lovely :)”
[Tyler] “I mean, only if there isn’t someone better than me”
[Jenna] “Believe me, there really isn’t :) I’ll pick you up around 2, okay?”
[Tyler] “yo. Will you be wearing one of those nice gowns? They’re beautiful ;)”
[Jenna] “ -______-‘ Shut up, Tyler”
[Tyler] “xoxo ;)”
After facepalming myself because of Tyler, I decided that maybe it was time to get ready. I didn’t really have to wear a cute dress or anything (thankfully) but I still wanted to look kind of good (for as far as that’d be possible)
Walking over to my closet, already deciding that skinny jeans were going to be the norm for today, I opened the doors and grabbed a pair of dark skinnies and a red tank top. I paired it with white converse, and took some extra time for my hair and make-up. As soon as it was no longer too early, I made my way to Tyler’s house, my graduation gown in my bag.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Graduating was amazing. It felt really great to finally close up a chapter that I’d been sick of basically ever since it had began. It even felt kind of good to avoid Audrey and Zoey, except for that 5 minutes filled with bitchy fake smiles on their faces. The thing I focused most on, was the smile on Tyler’s face. He seemed so happy. Maybe he was happy. He told me that he was proud of me, which made me happy too. I don’t even know what I’m thinking, my brain is such a mess. For once, I’m happy about it. The one thing I missed, or actually two, were my parents. It kind of hurt to see everyone their parents, except mine. But I’ll get over that.
Tyler and I had just returned from Taco Bell, our last meal together for a few weeks. He was downstairs, while I was upstairs, changing into something warmer for on the plane. As I changed my tank top for a T-shirt, I realized that I really was going to miss Tyler. ‘Jenna stop thinking about him. Now. You’ll end up getting hurt, and you know it.’ I thought. But the real questions were: Did I actually know I would end up getting hurt? And what if he was thinking of me too?
While pushing the last thought away, I noticed Tyler’s hoodie hanging over my chair. I called Tyler upstairs, and two seconds later I heard him running up the steps. “whaddup?” He asked, without looking at the piece of fabric in my hands. “I still have your hoodie.” I replied as I threw it in his face. He caught it before it actually hit his head. “well, weren’t you putting on something warm? I mean, if this is warm enough,” he said, throwing it back at me, “you can wear it.” While smiling, I put it on, but not after saying another awkward “thanks” (I’ve been saying those a lot lately)
“You ready to go?” he asked.
And I just nodded.
[a/n] sorry it's kind of short :( I'm kind of dealing with a lot right now (school, friends, and myself i guess) and even though i LOVE writing, i'm just a little less motivated to write now. I will continue, and I'm hoping to write another chapter tonight so i'll be able to update in a few days :) As always, thanks for reading, voting, commenting and all that <3 i really appreciate it and I hope the story is still fun to read :)
