Jess sat as Aaliyah was explaining her reasoning about the couples, and she apparently wanted Jess' help with it. "What do you want me to do?" Jess asked.

"Talk to them about each other!" Aaliyah explained. "See what they think of each other first."

Jess paused for a moment, maybe she should do this, the quieter group did help her with Ollie. "Sure." She nodded, walking over to Ivy. "Hey Ivy!" She greeted.

"Hey Jess! You've cheered up." Ivy smiled back.

"What do you think of Max?" Jess randomly asked.

Ivy looked confused. "What?"

"Just asking." Jess shrugged.

"Well he seems like a sweet guy-" Ivy started.

"Ok, bye!" Jess rushed away from her, she didn't need too much details from any of them, just enough to say they had some sort of attraction. "Clark! Hello!"

Clark looked up from his book. "Hi there."

"Curious to know, what do you think of Emily?" Jess quickly asked him.

"Fine when she isn't complaining about not getting a necklace." Clark sighed as he continued to read.

"But you agree she's pretty?" Jess added on.

Clark paused. "Sure-" He started.

"Great!" She smiled. "Rachel, hey."

"Yes Jess?" Rachel raised a brow.

"So Nova?" Jess started.

Rachel scoffed. "I hate him."

"But do you?" Jess smiled.

"I-" Rachel paused, getting annoyed, she picked her stuff up walking away. "I'm busy right now!"

"Bryan!" Jess greeted.

"Jess!" Bryan smiled.

"Quick question, what do you think about Marcy?" Jess asked him.

"Well, she swears a lot, but she tolerates my talking, which is very rare! People get bored after a while." Bryan explained to Jess. Bryan didn't seem startled or confused about the conversation at all, but he didn't seem to be startled by a question like that. Although he would be scared around them, Jess would have to watch out for that.

"So, hello Max." Jess quietly spoke to him, she didn't want to scares him into not talking.

"Yeah?" Max looked at her.

"Do you think Ivy is pretty cool?" Jess asked him.

"I-I guess." Max stuttered out, oh no maybe she was too out there with the question. "She's helped me talk more." He added on.
