One last try / Jenna Ortega

Chapter 20

Jennas Pov:
(7:55)
Leo and i had just arrived at school, we had grabbed coffee, made some jokes, and i threw my straw at them at some point, we were laughing when walking down the huge beautiful path, where the hangout bench for me and my girls is located, i had totally forgotten that existed, and walked past it, all the girls were there, staring at me walk by holding Leo's forearm for balance while laughing, but he wasn't laughing anymore,

"are you ok?" i sniffled after gathering myself, "yea Jen, i'll see you in class?" they turned and stood infront of me while grabbing my shoulder, i smiled and nodded, she then took off while i had some explaining to do, "Jenna Marie Ortega" Alana fumed at me, "yea what was that girl" Jess chipped in with a confused look, "since when do you hang out with sleepy guy" Claire sassed with a bitchy face, "omg it's nothing we just got a little closer due to the project" i reasoned, says the girl that literally orgasmed for him yesterday, omg i forgot about that.. And i was just with them, ew,

the girls were trying to pry the details out of me for the next 5 minutes, there was no way i was gonna tell them that i saw them shirtless and got horny, neither the way he grabbed my arm, and looked at me like he was about to rearrange my insides, or the fact i got ready to kiss them, twice! I shook my head in any assumption the girls made, until i was saved by the bell,

we all walked to Alchemy class, i was once again happy to see them, as soon as i walked in i saw them sitting at our desk, so i sped walked over, "friends huh?" Ria teased me, i death stared her, and she acknowledged that it wasn't funny, i took a seat next to them with a smile, "hey Jen" he greeted, i like it when he calls me that, which is disgusting, "hi Leonard" i sort of giggled, he was expressionless this time, not smiling or laughing,

"hey is everything alright?" i asked again, i wanted to make sure i wasn't throwing them off or anything, plus i wanted her to be comfortable with me, "Jenna.." they started to say when the door slammed close, causing my head to turn, and Leo to look up, the crazy bitch teacher looked like she hasn't slept since she hit puberty, "tell me" i turned my head back to him so fast, and laid my hand on top of theirs, "i'm just not as open in public" they admitted to me, "you're not as open in private either dude" i lifted my hand from his with a chuckle,

the teacher started to begin todays lesson, i lowered my voice, "i mean, when it's just us you might laugh or smile, rarely make a funny face, but it's not gonna be too intense" i added while scooting my seat further into the desk, i didn't really care that they didn't know how to express themselves, and even if they did only have two expressions around me i am still glad to be the one to see them, it makes me feel special,

Leo's Pov:
"i'm sorry" i apologized, i know how annoying it can be, not showing emotion, you confuse the other person, and here i was thinking i might have a shot in love and relationships, whatever keep dreaming Leo, "why the fuck are you apologizing??" Jenna frowned looking pissed, "it's tiring to have a person next to you that looks dead" i explained, "no it's not, shut up Leo" she kicked my leg underneath the desk, i think she got a little mad at that, "you express yourself just fine when we're alone" she looked at me dead in the eyes, she wasn't happy with the way i talked about myself,

Nobodies Pov:
the lesson was slowly coming to an end, "i ain't giving y'all homework cause you're gonna use it as toilet paper and i know it" the teacher blurted, as Jenna was annoyed with the amount of degrading Leo has done to himself, the teacher sat down and took a deep breath, "y'all are going on a camping trip next week" the teacher announced while looking straight down, "what!? Where!?" some kid in the back shouted, "Omg finally!!" some girls in the front were hyped, "watch me not come lol" some other student commented,

Jenna and Leo stared at each other both of their eyes widened, Jenna's more than Leo's of course, "the fuck" Jenna mumbled to Leo, he shook his head, "it's on a damn mountain and 2 Japanese men run the schedules, only seniors are going, have fun" the teacher clapped the book closed, sat up and practically ran out of class, some people were cheering and others cringing,

Jenna's Pov:
"are you going?" i asked her, not that i cared much, "yea" they answered, i got butterflies then, maybe i did care, "ok" i said turning around to pick up my stuff, i felt a familiar hand grab my arm, i turned to look at him, he sat next to the window which means the light was hitting behind him, and he looked.. Beautiful, with the scar and all, i was a little enthralled, "are you?" they asked back, "uh yea why not?" i responded, brushing it off, he got up grabbing his bag, "see you around Jen" they nodded giving me a small comforting smile, i smiled back, it made me happy to see Leo like that, especially cause of me

After he disappeared, the girls rushed over to my desk with dumb looks on their faces except for Claire who stayed behind, the fuck is wrong with her? "Jen guess what!" Jess exclaimed, "omg what" i was already fed up, Jess tapped on her screen with her nails clacking against it, after a little while my phone blinged, i took it out and saw that Jess had sent me a photo, "you're welcome" she winked, Alana giggled, i opened the picture, and it was a photo taken from the crowd at the rowing competition, it was zoomed in and it was me and Leo,

the part where my hand rested against his chest, and i was looking up into their eyes and they were looking down into mine, their scar showed and everything, i saw that i was completely leaning on them too.. And she was holding me, how do i not notice these things in the moment, i looked at Jess in shock, "you took a picture of us!?" i shouted, "yes the fuck she did and y'all look cute" Alana snapped, i gave in sighing, "ew" Claire commented from the back of the class where she sat, filling her nails, this bitch..
