One last try / Jenna Ortega

Chapter 48

Jenna's Pov:
(10:00 pm)

Our flight takes off in half an hour, and i'm sitting next to Alana and Ria who are practically cuddling on the seats, "where's Jess?" Claire uninvitedly spawned out of fucking nowhere, i was flipping through a magazine, looking at cars and watches, completely ignoring her existence, "she went down to the shop" Alana spat, obviously not in the mood, for a chat,

I kept flipping pages, actually forgetting she was there, "Jenna can i talk to you?" Claire pondered while fumbling with her fingers, my ears twitched, then my eyebrows furrowed, i slowly picked my head up, as my eyes burned through her, trailing from her knees all the way up to her face. Alana and Ria looked shocked both observing my next move,

"Yea sure" i nonchalantly agreed, shutting the magazine and crossing my arms, while sitting back on my chair and crossing my legs, Claire appeared to be confused looking left and right, "um.. Here?" she puzzled, i aggressively nodded, "mhm right here" i confirmed with an ironic smile, as she looked away in disappointment,

"ok.. Um" she started nervously, shifting her weight between her legs, i raised my eyebrows and slightly widened my eyes in annoyance waiting for her to speak.. "I'm sorry i acted out in class last week.. We shouldn't fight over a boy-" she ranted while shakily waving her hands, with a fucked up breathing pattern,

I frowned then interrupted her mid sentence, "Leo's not a boy." i corrected with a bitchy expression, she furrowed her eyebrows befuddled, she then crossed her ankles in front of her and took a sharp breath in, "oh i-" she muttered, "they're all genders you should know that by now" i grumbled while grimacing, then narrowing my eyes,

I started to tap my foot against the ground, bringing my tongue to the front of my mouth licking the inside of my bottom lip. She cracked her knuckles while avoiding eye contact, "ok well we shouldn't fight over this person" she stammered now rubbing her forehead, still looking anywhere but me, as i stared her down with the meanest look in my eyes,

I nodded tightly, and i could see Ria and Alana from the corner of my eye, both wide eyed, Ria had slapped her hand on her mouth while Alana was trying not to laugh. I clicked my tongue and looked off to the side, "you're right, i'll think about it though" i numbly put forth, whiping out my magazine to continue surfing through it,

There was silence for a few seconds, up until Claire accepted her fate, "ok.." she sighed then finally walked off, i exhaled through my nose, and shut my eyes, "girl i'm surprised she still standing.. I would've gone off on her for being a snake and going after your boo" Alana sassed while waving her hand around, with a pinched expression,

Ria's jaw slightly dropped as her facial muscles stretched back, "boo!?" she yelled, i threw my body forward on my seat to look at Ria, "no!" i argued staring her down then quickly turning to look at Alana. "no!" i pointed at Alana, telling them both that it's not what they think, i was leaning forward my stomach against my knees,

"omg please spill! I missed so much shit" Ria begged while looking at me desperately, i sighed shutting my eyes then leaned back on my chair, "there's nothing happening between us" i lied, i don't know why but for some reason i didn't want to tell them about me and Leo, not cause i don't trust them or anything..

I just didn't want something so good to be told so easily, and this feels like a type of situation you first need to make sure is solid and get to know your role a bit better, and then talk about it. I wanted this to be between me and Leo, at least from my side, if she wants to tell Chance i wouldn't mind, but for me.. I wanna keep it locked like treasure.

Cause that's what it feels like for me. Alana frowned in confusion and Ria sighed in disappointment, "damn.." Ria pouted, Alana kept looking at me with a 'bitch what the fuck' look, i eyed her for a split second then started flipping through the magazine again, i'll explain to her later on the plane..
