MY OTHER HALF

//2//

~Jenny~

Jumping onto my bed, with my long braids spread all over the pillow I started reflecting on my day. I realized it was a typical Monday after all and I still hate it. The only new thing was my conversation with Emil and Clara singing through our ride home about a date she had with Harry on Friday night. And let me see... and I guess the

''oh s**t the new guy'' I jumped up at once reaching for my phone

I totally forgot about him and I still needed to follow him back. I quickly followed him back.

''I guess now my day is complete'' I said yawning

beep beep

A message popped up

''hi''

It was from the new guy. Wait was he was waiting for me?

''no no no he has more important things to do. Chill girl just reply like normal people do'' talking to myself

''hi'' I replied

no reply

no reply

no reply

Thirty minutes later still no reply.

''is he ignoring me.?...Noooo'' shaking my head ''I guess he slept whilst waiting for my reply'' still talking to myself. I can be crazy sometimes I know but that's just me I guess.

~~~~~~

''Jenny....., Jenny....!!'' my mum called out

Her loud piercing voice woke me up. I sat up rubbing my eyes and feeling so tempted to fall back on the bed and continue where I left off. I laid back down. Ten more minutes wouldn't hurt.

''get your lazy ass down here or I'mma come drag you''

OMG that wasn't my mum's voice. s**t Clara. I got up at once, run straight to my wardrobe, pulled out the first thing I touched and rushed to the bathroom. Clara was way crazier than my mum. There was no way I was going to take a bus. Clara didn't like being late so I had to be really quick. I brushed my teeth, took a quick bath. Could I even call that bathing. I wore my clothes, tied my hair in a ponytail and came out. I grabbed my bag and my phone and headed for the door.

''woaaaah I guess I just saved myself from fixing a new door'' I exclaimed when I opened the door and found Clara's leg in the air ready to kick the door open.

''you sure did'' she said folding her arms and heading downstairs

''just count that as payback for ditching me yesterday''

''you should start reading your bible sweetheart maybe you will learn the definition of forgiveness''

I just ignored her and went to grab the orange juice and cookies mum had made for me

''good morning'' kissing her cheek

''good morning my love hope you slept well. I have a shift tonight so dinner is in the fridge''

I nodded and hugged her. I was used to my mum's late night shifts already. I turned to signal Clara that I was ready and that's where I noticed Harry. I gave him a nod and made my way to the door

''goodbye Maam'' I heard him say

''goodbye son it was nice meeting you''

Son? wow he has really gotten into my mum's good books. Harry had offered to drive us to school today. I didn't like the idea at first but it was pretty cool. It turned out he was also a fan of GOT so we discussed on our way to school. Harry is a cool dude but I wonder how he is friends with Emil.

''ermmm Clara I guess I will see you later'' he said to Clara after opening the doors for us.

''sure''

ok so he was a gentleman too.

''wow you guys really hit off after yesterday''

''oh yes dear my dreams always come true''

I just looked at her and smiled. She looked very happy. We made our way to our lockers. I had a class with Nick on Tuesday mornings. I don't get to see Clara until lunch. Getting closer to my locker I spotted Emil in front of my locker. Just when I thought today was going so well and nothing could ruin it. I was wrong after all.

''hey pretty face'' he smirked

''hi stalker''

''whoosh that went straight to my heart''

I just rolled my eyes and proceeded to my locker.

''I missed you so much. You were the first person I thought of when I woke up''

''oh jeez Emil you just don't know when to stop huh''

''My name sounds like music in your in your voice. Mention it one more time''

''nice one there Jenny. I never knew you dealt in leftovers'' Mackenzie appeared from nowhere

Wow I'm beginning to hate Tuesdays. I shot Mackenzie a glare and decided to ignore her. I just couldn't think of the perfect thing to say. I packed my books and left

''pretty face'' Emil called out ''OMG Mackenzie allow me shine for once''

French was pretty cool. Not one of my favorites but I didn't hate it either. Mr. Lewis was fond of coming to class late. I loved him for that. I opened my phone and checked

no reply

I searched in class for him. He was seated in the far left corner of the class busy scribbling something down. Was he ignoring me? Why do I even care. It was jut one text after all. I was still scrolling on other peoples' pictures when Nick asked

''so what's up with you and Emil''

''OMG say his name one more time and I will feed you to Clara''

''I prefer Mackenzie though''

''ouch poor you''

~~~~~

For what seemed like a year, it was finally lunch time. I was starving really bad. I rose up and turned to Nick

''ain't you ready yet''

''ugghh'' scratching his head ''I will meet you guys at the table''

''and may I ask why''

''errrm Mackenzie asked me to do her homework so I'm going to hand it out to her''

''so like you are now her little b***h boy or something''

''anything for her''

''anyways good luck. Will see you at the table''

When I got to the table. Harry and Clara were already there and somehow someway Nick managed to get there before me. I threw myself on the chair and began eating Nick's rice

''ok b***h boy spill it'' nudging Nick's sides with my elbow

''There's nothing to spill just that I couldn't find her that's all''

''you sure'' giving him a serious look''

''I guess you have more spilling than I do'' he said raising his eyes to the direction behind me.

Before I could turn, a body slid beside me

''I missed you Summs''

Jeez not again

''ok so what do you want....or is someone paying you to stalk me''

'' first of all I'm paying myself and secondly I want all of you''

''hey man give the girl a break will you'' Harry said chuckling

Clara just gave a light laugh and continued eating. Wow she was behaving all ladylike now

''Ermmm so are you guys a thing now'' Nick asked turning to Harry

''oh jeez Nick you couldn't just allow the good moment to last any longer'' Clara shot up throwing a pea at Nick but Nick managed to catch it with his mouth. It's something they did all the time. It was no surprise actually to me I guess.

''so pretty girl what do you think...are you ready to give me all of you''

''do I like look like John Legend''

After my statement everyone started laughing except for Emil and I of course. Nick turned to me for a high and I was so glad to return it

''wow... old but gold'' Harry said still laughing you really put him in his place girl''

I guess Harry and I were clicking more than I expected

''Thanks for the compliment Harry''

''ok so now you are making a coup against me with my best friend. That's so sexy'' Emil said winking at me

''I guess giving up isn't in your dictionary huh''

''oh yeah in the dictionary I have for pretty girls like you''

''OMG allow me to eat in peace''

''anything for you baby''

I ignored him and concentrated on my food. Just then his phone rang and he left. I pulled out my phone to check if he had texted back. If I say HE I mean the new the guy. What was his name again..

''Jeff'' Nick blurted out banging his fist on the table

''sorry who's name did you just mention'' I asked. Trying very hard not to ask him if he read my thoughts

''the new guy....I guess he is the reason Mackenzie isn't paying any attention to me''

''chill boy...the last time I checked she wasn't paying any attention to you at all'' Clara jumped in

At least he wasn't reading my thoughts. Just a perfect coincidence. ok so Jeff was his name. Cool name though.

~~~~

The rest of the day went really well I even fell in love with math for two whole minutes. Isn't that miraculous. Our drive back home was perfect. Jokes here and there. 

Harry was the humorous kind of guy so we laughed all our way home. When we got to my house I didn't want to leave them but I had to. I went straight to the fridge, poured a myself a glass of fruit juice, took a bag of chips and headed for my room. I was so tired that only sleep could save me. 

I threw my bag on my bed and took a sip of the juice placed it on the table and joined my bag on the bed. I checked my phone if Jeff had replied. Why did it even matter that much. I started thinking of reasons why his reply mattered to me but before I knew it sleep had taken over.

I woke up when my phone beeped. I reached for it and checked. There was a message

''sorry for the late reply.....errrm can we be friends?''
