THERE HAD BEEN ENOUGH TIME FOR LARA JEAN TO WIPE OFF- the tears off her face before heading into the gym for the annual school year assembly.
Normally, she and Chris would have sat with EJ and their other friends, but seeing as to how Lara Jean wasn't emotionally ready to accept the fact that she was going to be anything but EJ's girlfriend, the two friends chose to sit in the bleachers by themselves.
Chris looked over to see the rest of their friends chatting amongst themselves, paying close attention to EJ who looked happier than ever. His gaze focused back on Lara Jean, who was sitting beside him, her hands resting on her chin with a dull expression on her face.
A part of him felt sorry for Lara Jean, he had known that she had been crushing on EJ from the very beginning, and he was also the person who had told her to shoot her shot with him. Automatically feeling like he was too was responsible for having her heartbroken.
But before he could give any words of comfort to his best friend, someone plopped down right beside her. A tall girl with long locks of blonde hair that fell past her shoulders, bright blue eyes, she wore a red hoodie with some tattered black pants and a black beanie over her head.
That girl is his cousin. Genevive Cyrus. It wasn't that he didn't like Gen, okay he totally hated her. He and Gen had never been on the same terms, no matter how much a bond could have been forced upon the two. Mainly because there was one word that could best describe his cousin (although he had many to pick from) it would have to be―
"―ugh, Gen, did you bathe yourself in your perfume?" Lara Jean hissed as Chris' cousin sat down beside her.
The blonde-haired girl only smiled and laughed as she flipped her locks of hair behind her shoulder. "Maybe," she replied as she grinned at them both as if it was all for laughs when really she reeked of whatever perfume she chose to spray all over herself.
"You ripped a toke before coming into school, didn't you?" Lara Jean added on with an annoyed tone in her voice, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Pothead. That was the word Chris would describe his cousin as. That was the main reason why he didn't like her. Just being in the same presence as Gen ruined his rep. She had bad grades and not to mention the worst of friends. Being in the same room as her, let alone beside her made people assume that he too was a pothead.
