Crossed paths - Jenlisa adaptation

XXI - Out The Closet We Both Go

I woke up to be snuggled up under Jennies arm and breath tickling the nape of my neck. She was already awake which wasn't surprising because she wakes up early. I turned around and was greeted with her morning breath. "Your breath stinks," I muttered.

"So does yours," she frowned and I breathed into her face so she could smell it more, "ew!" She giggled.

"Shit!" I suddenly realised and Jennie looked at me horrified.

"What?"

"It's Thursday! We're late for school."

"No we're not," she sighed in relief, "your alarm rang ten minutes ago but you didn't wake up."

"Oh," I sighed in relief, "what about your mom?"

"I texted her: I left early to do some homework in the library."

"Clever," I smirked and kissed her. it started turning into a make out session but | pulled away and told her we needed to get ready for school. Since we were both still naked from last night's events, I yanked my duvet away from her and she lay naked and shocked on my bed before she jumped back up and attacked me, retrieving the duvet--mainly because I let her. I out on adidas sweatpants and my iconic beige hoodie whilst Jennie put on the clothes she came in last night. She climbed out of my window, telling me she'd meet me outside. So I went downstairs where mom had prepared breakfast for me.

"What was all that noise up there?" Mom looked at me inquIsitively.

I don't know man, probably Ray and Kaira, I don't know." I mumbled, stuffing my face with food. "You sure?" Mom raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah," I ushered and rolled my eyes. I quickly continued with my routine, packed my bag with my books and a notepad for Jennie to use today since she didn't have her books and left my house, meeting Jennie who was playing with rocks on my porch. "C'mon cutie bean," I grabbed her hood and she stood up.

"So are we basically girlfriends now?" I questioned as we walked down my street.

"Well I sure hope so, I didn't kiss a girl for no reason."

"I'm so glad," I grinned, "I wish I could kiss you all the time," I was so embarrassed by how excited I was that I kept staring at my feet.

"You ready to come out to the whole school?" We looked at each other and my first instinct was to check Sana's twitter. She kept her promise. I smiled, "hell yeah."

So we walked into school proudly and went to my locker so I could put some of my books away. When I shut the locker door Jennie kept smiling, "why are you smiling?" I started smiling too.

"I don't know," she shrugged and so I leaned in to kiss her with a bit of passion, to keep it school friendly. I was a bit intimidated by a the stares we received, butt tried to ignore them. We pulled away after a couple of seconds and there was a freshman staring at Us, gobsmacked, "what? You never seen a couple kiss before?" | smirked and she practically ran off.

By lunchtime, there was a lot of talk about the new lesbian couple'. Within a few hours, me and Jennie regained the popularity we once had. I was surprised that we got such a good response because i honestly believed our school was more homophobic. But i'm glad they're not. Let me clarify, when I say 'whole school' I'm referring to seniors and juniors. I guess everyone's in the mindset that they're about to graduate so they don't care. I do, though, because I'm gonna have someone to cuddle all through the year up until Graduation.

I sat with Sana and Jennie. We obviously got many weird stares but eventually Bella came and sat with us and looked at Sana, "why did you leave me?" She giggled,

"hey Lisa, hey Jennie," she acknowledged our existence and we nodded in reply. Soon after Rosé joined our table and gave me a heartfelt apology and we hugged, making up. One by one, the cheerleaders and the soccer girls began joining our table and apologising. I was so glad. We were together, a team. United. Until I saw Tzuyu sitting on her own. I sighed in pity and went over to her.

I sat opposite her, "come and sit with us," I said.

"No," she spat harshly, "I am not sitting anywhere near that vulture. She humiliated me in front of my whole year."

"Tzuyu, no one cares about whether you're gay or not. If anything, they're probably jealous that you got to kiss me."

"You're not funny."

"But you still have a crush on me though," I smirked but she stood up and threw a tomato at me.

"'You're a textbook narcissist, don't ever fucking talk to me aga-" I cut her sentence short, throwing her Leftover salad at her face. The cafeteria went dead quiet as all attention was on us. Tzuyu looked at me disgusted before throwing her unfinished burger at any face. Soon, a food fight around the entire cafeteria broke out with useless protests from the teachers.

The Graduation Ceremony had just ended and everyone was getting their pictures taken with family and friends. "Lisa, Jennie, let me get a picture" My mom hissed with a huge grin on her face, waving her camera in front of our faces. I pulled Jennie close to me by her waist and we posed for the picture. When we thought it was done, Jennie's mom came over begging for pictures. we both just sighed lovingly though the ordeal. We hoped that we would be together forever and visit London before college, but that was difficult to uphold.

I held the last house party of the class of 2017 a few weeks after when my parents went to visit my grandparents and Ray went to his friends house. I tried to be a good host and make everyone feel included.

But when I realised that Jennie was nowhere to be seen, I was concerned. I went upstairs and checked my room.

She was sitting by my desk, looking at my rotten lettuce. She turned around and smiled, "I guess I'm in trouble."

"Nah, it's rotting 'cause it's old." I smiled.

"Maybe were both in trouble, like, our relationship."

"Shut up cutie bean." I sighed and sat on my bed pulling her to sit next to me. She leaned her head on my shoulder and I put my arm around her. "I never wanna leave you," Jennie practically whispered. She kissed me, " hope you're gonna come to London to meet me after I go next week. Or at least Skype me. Ill miss you a lot."

"Ill miss you more." i cuddled her closer to me and kissed her forehead.
