It's not until two days later that Lisa sees Jennie again.

"You weren't in yesterday. Are you okay?" Is the first thing Lisa asks when she lays eyes on Jennie.

Jennie rolls her eyes in response but Lisa is persistent and refuses to move until Jennie answers the question.

"Fine," Jennie replies, "My mum wanted me to stay at home yesterday so she could keep an eye on me. I mean I still had to beg her to let me come in today."

"Why did you want to come to school?" Lisa says, turning her nose up in disgust.

"To see your gorgeous face of course."

Jennie winks at Lisa and Lisa can feel her cheeks flush. Because Lisa still hasn't stopped thinking about the texts that Jennie sent last night, hasn't stopped trying to find some underlying meaning that means that Jennie isn't flirting with her. Perhaps Lisa is overreacting; perhaps all friends send each other texts alluding to wanting to try out sexual acts with each other. But somehow Lisa thinks maybe not.

"Are you coming or what?"

It is only then that Lisa realises she still hasn't moved and that Jennie is talking to her from halfway down the corridor with an impatient expression on her face as if Lisa exasperates her more than anything else.

"Yeah."

Lisa's mind seems to be all over the place this morning as her attention flits to the numerous couples making out in the middle of the corridor to the brightly coloured posters that are seemingly blue tacked to every single surface.

"So do you want to come round to mine tomorrow?" Jennie's voice brings Lisa out of his reverie.

"Do you want me to?"

"Of course."

"Why?"

"Cause I like spending time with you dumbass," Jennie sighs, and Lisa gets the feeling that she might be starting to get on Jennie's nerves.

"I meant is there a specific reason?"

"Well there's a girl's football match on we could watch together."

"Hell no, I'm not watching football, I actually have no idea what happens during those matches, all they do is kick the ball around."

"There'll be eye candy," Jennie pouts.

Lisa snorts at that. As if she could be bribed by something as petty as cute girls, does Jennie know nothing about her?

"Please Lili." Jennie says shuffling closer to her, "I really want to watch the match with you."

"Will there be food?"

"Of course."

"What kind of food."

"Is food all you think about?" Jennie asks. "Because how the hell do you maintain your figure if it is?"

"Are you asking me for dieting tips?"

"I'm just saying that you seem to eat a lot and I have no idea where you put it."

The two descend into a comfortable silence as they think about the possibility before Lisa realises that her question still hasn't been answered.

"So what food will there be?" She asks.

"Chocolate, marshmallows, even pizza if you're lucky," Jennie tells her.

"That sounds like the unhealthiest meal ever - I'm in."

Jennie lets out a laugh at that and Lisa looks over at her. Lisa hadn't realised that their shoulders were brushing against each other but now it's all that she can think about. It's the lightest touch but it feels like Jennie's shoulder is exerting some great pressure. Does Jennie realise? Does she even care? Lisa isn't even sure why she does.
