Jenna's POV
"Fuck. Would you please stop showing public affection to a fucking school property?!" Erick shouted, making us caught off guard.
What the fuck is his problem?
Everyone silence because of his reaction. My hands leave Joel's.
"I-I'm so sorry. I'm just stressed out and have a lot in mind" he then caged his palms in his face. Frustration. I can see it.
"You can tell us what is bothering you" I said before my mind can process what is it. Nice work of my mouth. "I mean if you want to"
I can see the sadness in his green eyes. I know he is dying to tell what it is but at the same time it is hard for him to do something like that.
He doesn't replied to my question, he just looked at my eyes for awhile.
"We should really unwind" Joel suggested, slowly lessening the thick air surrounding all of us.
"Camping sounds great" Zabdiel said.
It have been a long time since I got into a camping. I still have the nervousness in me when I am doing such like these. Because she also loves camping. And I don't want to take that away from her. I took a lot from her now, camping is the only one left.
"I'm afraid" I whispered.
"Afraid of what? Taking a trip?" Joel asked me, his head leaning on my shoulder.
"Sort of" this is obviously embarrassing.
"I will be there for you so you don't have to worry"
Maybe trying won't hurt right? I mean, it will be the last time I will gonna experience this stuffs because soon after I'll be just inside a house with a husband who I don't even know.
"Okay"
"Tracy is still in good condition so we can use it" Chris said. Who is Tracy? Maybe Christopher's girlfriend.
"I didn't know you have a girlfriend"
Everyone laughs because of what I said except Erick obviously. Am I wrong? I mean Tracy is a name of a girl so the possibility is there.
"Tracy is the name of his car. Though he named it after his ex girlfriend Tricia" Richard confess, earning a smack at his head from Chris.
They are really funny.
"I'm sorry tho" I can't imagine a girl would leave someone like him. He is practically funny and sweet.
I thought I can never bare the grief of the news from yesterday, but with them, it felt like nothing happened. It didn't even crashed my thoughts. And I am very thankful for that.

"Would you like to spill the story?" Joel softly ask me, walking me to my service before we finally separate ways.
"It doesn't really matter now. We should focus on what we have now and the happiness we got" I smiled back at him.
He wraps his arms around mind before saying the usual "stay safe" thing. I know it became a cliché for the both of us to say those words every time but it never failed to give me butterflies in my stomach. I love the way those butterflies play around inside of me. I am treasuring every piece of him now, before someone can hold my hand finally.
I felt all the tiredness of my muscles when I got inside the car. Tiredness physically and mentally.
Celia💚: hey gurl! No school for tomorrow. Up to something?
Me: I'm sorry bestie but Joel and the crew decided to go on a camping. Wanna join?
Celia💚: I want to spend my time with you Jenna but I think it would be awkward and inappropriate if I will be there😅
Me: we would love to hang out with you also! Wait. I'll ask them if you can join the trip.
I quickly type Joel's name on FaceRim. Nice. He is online.
Me: Hi Joel😊 remember the best friend I am talking with you before? I would like to ask if she can join us for tomorrow?
Joel: of course! The more the merrier😄
Me: nice. Thank you so much Jol💚 see you tomorrow.
Joel: Cool nickname😂 no prob💕
Joel Pimentel changed your nickname to Jen💕
My eyes popped wide so much like it will leave its place next. Is this real? Like for REAL?! The heat creeped up to my cheeks, surely making it red. I want to shout and jump up and down with happiness because of this but God I'm on a fucking car so it will be so weird if I do so. All I can do is to bite my lower lip so hard and cover my mouth from the giggles I am trying to stop.
I changed Joel Pimentel's nickname to Jol🤪💚.
I can't believe what I just did! I changed his fucking nickname. I know you might wonder and think that I am some kind of crazy but I can't really help to stop feeling loved like a normal teenager will feel.
My giggling has been interrupted when I saw Celia's name popped on my screen. Just nice Cecilia.
"Hello?" I started the call. Trying so hard not to blurt out things that happened just awhile ago.
"You sound flushed" God am I that obvious?
"N-no am not. I'm fine"
"If you say so Jenna Irish" she teased and I can practically imagine her rolling her eyes because of my answer.
"By the way Celia. I asked Joel if you can join us. Guess what?" Even saying Joel is enough to make my cheeks blush and my mind race around.
"They don't entertain strangers?" Very funny Cecilia.
"No of course not! He said you are very much welcome to go with us. Just don't vomit inside Tracy" I laugh.
"God Jenna you are.... College really made you so pervert! Why would I vomit inside Tracy?!" She said, disgust is on.
I want to laugh so fucking hard now because of her misunderstanding to Tracy, like what I also reacted when I first heard about that car.
"Loca! Tracy is Christopher's car!"
