"The park, that's where you want to go?"-Lisa asks disbelievably.

Jennie shrugs, offering no real explanation before sitting down on one of the swings and gently beginning to push herself back and forth. After a brief moment of deliberation Lisa sits down next to her.

Out of the corner of her eye, Lisa watches as Jennie gently swings higher and higher, laughing like a small child. Lisa tries desperately to focus on something else but the way that Jennie's eyes close slightly when she smiles or the fact that with each swing Jennie's laugh seems to get louder and louder.

Lisa shakes her head; the last thing she wants is to ruin this newfound friendship, especially when she knows that it can develop into nothing more.

"Come on Lisa."-Jennie shouts as she swings past.

Lisa begins to move the swing too and after some persuasion from Jennie, is swinging high up in the air, somehow Jennie and she have managed to synchronise their swings so that they are moving next to each other.

"I miss being a little kid."-Jennie says wistfully as they begin another descent.

"What when there were no bitches to worry about?"

"I'm not sure, Kim Dahyun poured sand in my underwear when we were nursery, I kept on finding grains for weeks in all sorts of places."

"So what did you miss then?"

"I miss being able to wear whatever I wanted without people questioning it."-Jennie sighs. "Now apparently have to wear pink on Wednesdays."

Somehow, the two of them managed to high five in mid-air.

"Are you trying to tell me that you don't like the shirt you're wearing?"-Lisa asks.

"Are you kidding me? This shirt is like the best thing ever."

"Has strong attachments to her clothes, I'll have to add that to the list of things I've learned about you today."

"And what else have you learnt?"-Jennie asks.

"You like Fall Out Boy."-Lisa begins. "You like One Direction, which does make me question your music taste. You're not gay, you don't mind gay people, you've watched Mean Girls at least once and you don't like coffee."

"How did you know I don't like coffee?"

"Jennie, we went to a coffee shop and you drank tea."

"That's because tea is the best drink ever."

"That's like going to Pizza Hut and eating pasta."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Oh my god Jennie, I'm never going to Pizza Hut with you."

"Not even on a date?"

"Jennie!"

Jennie lets out a giggle before slowly stopping her swing. Lisa copies her actions and looks at Jennie questioningly.

"Come on."-Jennie urges. "I want to go down the slide."

The two of them scramble up the steps and Jennie positions herself at the top of the slide.

"Wish me luck."-she tells Lisa.

"Good luck, have a safe journey."

"I'll miss you!"-Jennie shouts as she pushes herself off.

Lisa waits a few moments, leaving enough time for Jennie to dismount at the other end, before starting to make her way down the slide herself.

"Wait, don't come down just yet, I'm coming up."-she hears just as she lets go of the top of the slide.
