"Think about what?". Jennie asked and they both froze.
___________________________________________
"Jennie, what are you doing here, you should be resting". Rafael said rushing to her.
"I'm fine now, so what were you guys talking about". She asked again going to sit next to Chelsea.
"Ummm.... We were talking about doing our assignments together". Chelsea quickly lied.
"Do I sense something fishy". She grinned and Chelsea nudged her.
"Stop thinking nonsense, let's get to class". Jennie instantly remembered that Leo was also in the clinic.
"I'll be right back". She hurriedly said and ran out.
She checked in the class, but she didn't find him.
'where has he gone now'. She wondered and continued searching. Then she spotted him on the basketball court, he was alone bouncing a ball, she walked up to him.
"Leo.....".
"You're up already?, you should be resting". He said still holding the ball but he had stopped bouncing it.
"Gosh, it only hit my stomach, you guys are acting like I fainted or something". She complained sitting down, he sat next to her.
"I was worried about you". He said and she smiled at him.
"Don't be, I'm fine".
Silence.
"You guys seem close". Leo started and Jennie raised a brow.
"Who?".
"The guy at the clinic". He said referring to Jace.
"Jace?, Of course he's one of my best friends". She grinned.
"One?".
"Yeah, I have CJ, she's like my sister, you've met her ".
"Yeah". He nodded urging her to continue.
"Raf, I mean rafael and Jace". She said unlocking her phone and showing him their pictures.
"Woah, you guys have been friends since childhood?". He asked looking at the pictures of them as kids. She nodded.
"I almost thought you guys were dating". He admitted and she laughed.
"Dating? me!?Jace? , Never put Jace and dating in the same sentence".
"So......how did you guys meet". He inquired.
"9 years ago.....". She began talking but was interrupted by the bell ringing loudly, for the next class.
Leo groaned and Jennie chuckled as he got up and helped her up as well.
"Let's go". He said still holding her hand, making her heart beat fast.
They walked into the class together with linked hands, the students noticed them and gasped.
? Is she dating the new boy already.
?Now he would never look at me
? I'm jealous
? I don't like her.
She ignored them and began walking to her friends when a junior student came in and told Leo that the head master was calling him.
They were all in jace's corner.
"Are you really dating that guy?". Rafael asked.
"Jennie, he's new. I told you". Chelsea agreed.
"Guess someone's learning from me". Jace said smugly and Jennie rolled her eyes, sitting next to Rafael.
"First things first, chels in a situation like this, you should be backing me up not them and we are not dating. We just held hands and it felt right.
"I don't like him". Jace and Rafael said at the same time.
"You two quit being dads already ". She scolded.
Olivia came in with her girls locking eyes with Jennie, she glared hard at her and Jennie mouthed 'b***h'.

Locker room later
Chelsea was putting her textbooks back into her locker when she noticed someone behind her, she immediately turned.
Seeing Olivia, she ignored her and continued what she was doing.
"Hey". Olivia started but Chelsea ignored her.
"I'm not here to fight". She said and Chelsea faced her.
"What do you want Olivia?".
"To be friends with you". Chelsea locked her locker.
"Have you gone crazy?, You hate my best friend and just a few hours ago, I slapped you and you insulted me now all of a sudden, you want us to be friends?. Yeah that's happening". Chelsea scoffed and turned to leave. She'd almost left but Olivia's next words shocked her.
"I know you like him. Both of them". Olivia smirked leaning against the locker as Chelsea turned back.
"What did you just say?". Chelsea asked.
