Jenny woke up early in the morning; she was actually looking forward to going to school as she glanced out the window of her bedroom, seeing the sun rise in the sky. Over the past couple of weeks she had enjoyed herself while being in Cologne, especially at school, as it was the only time she was able to steal glances at the gorgeous, adorable blonde haired girl whose name she always forgot.
The brunette sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes, removing the sleep which had built up there before deciding to get up and go shower. Once she was dressed she made her way downstairs and into the kitchen, noticing Ben sitting at the dining room table.
“You seem happy,” he stated, raising an eyebrow as she skipped into the room.
“Oh, I… um… I just had a really good night sleep, is that a crime?”
“Haha, no, not at all, I wish I was able to sleep as well as you do.”
“Yeah, no wonder you look shit most of the time.”
“OI!” Ben protested, throwing some toast crust in Jenny’s direction.
“Hey! No wasting food,” she said, with a look of fake annoyance on her face.
“Oh, whatever, let’s go.” Ben said, standing up.
They made their way to Ben’s car, got in and buckled up. On the way to school they talked about their usual topics of how they found school, which teacher’s annoyed them and plans for the weekend which was ages away. They finally arrived at school and Jenny’s face immediately lit up in a huge smile as she looked towards the large stack of books, noticing the adorable blonde sitting upon them. Her face then immediately changed when she saw the blonde’s girlfriend come over and wrap her arms around her. Jenny’s heart sank even lower when the brunette girl pulled the blonde in for a kiss. ‘What the hell Jenny, that’s her girlfriend, of course she would kiss her, stop being so stupid.’
“Hey Jenny? Are you going to get out of the car or just sit there all day?” Ben asked from outside the passenger door.
“Oh sorry, lost in thought.”
“What about? Ben asked, confused.
“I just remembered I had Gotting today, he is such an ass.”
“Yes, I told you so,” he grinned.
“Hey Ben, shut up will you,” she said, getting out of the car and slapping his arm.
“HEY! Why are you such a bully,” he mocked.
“Because you annoy me,” she smirked.
“So not fair.”
“Ah, deal with it Ben, you’re a big boy now.”
“Haha, shut up,” he said, before turning around and heading for the school entrance.
Jenny’s attention turned back to the blonde as she saw her and her girlfriend heading towards the entrance as well. She felt her face start to burn up as the adorable girl looked in her direction and smiled. ‘What the hell was that? Oh she was being friendly; I am practically in all her classes, so she has got to know me somehow.’
“Jenny, seriously; am I going to have to drag you inside? I know Gotting is a prick, but you have to go to his class if you want to pass,” Ben spoke, turning back around to look at her.
“Yeah, I know, shut up, let’s go,” she said, walking past him and heading towards the classroom.
------
“Morning class, today I will be assigning you with a group project. You will be working in pairs and before you ask, I have assigned you already with your partners,” Gotting said, walking into the classroom.
All the kids moaned and groaned at the fact that they had a school project to fulfil. Some kids asked if he was joking, others mocked and some were even excited about it.
“Alright, be quiet everyone! When I call your name out I want you to go sit next to your partner,” Gotting said, sternly. “Ok, Anne and Monika, Simone and Thomas, Felix and Karin, Emma and Jenny…”
As soon as Gotting had said Jenny’s name her heart pounded so fast in her chest she as though she couldn’t breathe, Emma got up and began to move next to Jenny as there was a free space next to her.
“But I want to be with Emma,” Carlie protested.
“I’m sorry Carlie, but I had no say in this, I put all of your names in a computer and let it pair you up,” Gotting said, in the direction of the lighter brunette haired girl.
“It’s okay babe, you won’t die,” Emma said, trying to calm her down, kissing her on the forehead before continuing to move towards Jenny.
“I’ll miss you,” Carlie called out to her.
“I’ll miss you too,” Emma said, as a slight blush formed on her face. She sat down next to Jenny and smiled.
“Hello,” was the only thing Jenny could say.
“Hey,” Emma responded, causing a shiver to run through Jenny’s body. ‘Oh… My… GOD!’
“Alright enough; Carlie and Nicole…” Gotting continued, calling out names until everyone was paired. “Alright now I will be assigning you a topic where you have to write a report and make a speech also including a PowerPoint presentation on it.”
He started to assign the pairs with their topics which included; World War One, World War Two, the Cold War, impact of propaganda posters during the war and impact of the Great Depression. He finally reached Jenny and Emma and gave them their topic.
“Alright Jenny and Emma, your topic is, ‘The impact on Germany after Adolf Hitler and the Nazi’s took over.’” He finished assigning topics and walked back to the front of the class to begin his lesson.
“Oh, ew this topic is totally stupid,” Emma whispered in Jenny’s direction.
“Uh... Yeah I… Um agree,” Jenny managed to say, even though her brain was like jelly.
The time seemed to have gone by so fast as the bell for the end of first period rang and everyone began getting up.
“So, when do you want to meet up and work on this assignment?” Emma asked, turning to her.
“I… Um… I don’t know? When are you free?”
“Well I am kind of busy with work and the STAG and this one right here,” Emma said, pulling Carlie in for a hug before tickling her.
“Haha, Em stop… please,” Carlie said, between fits of giggles. “Hi, I’m Carlie,” she said, holding a hand out to Jenny after Emma had stopped.
“I’m Jenny,” she said, taking a hold of the girl’s hand and shaking it.
“Emma, Carlie, are you girls coming? We have to go practice,” a voice came from the doorway.
“Yes Hotte, we are on our way, we will meet you there,” Emma called out to the nerdy boy standing there. “How about you give me your number and I will text you when I’m available and we will try and make time?” Emma suggested, handing the brunette her mobile.
“Sounds good to me,” Jenny said, taking Emma’s phone and punching in her number, handing it back to her.
“Alright, bye Jenny… oh, one more thing, you should come by and check out our music group in the auditorium,” Emma smiled.
“I just might take you up on that,” Jenny smiled back.
Emma grabbed Carlie’s hand and pulled her out of the classroom. Jenny followed shortly behind.
“Hey Jenny, why are you all smiley?”
“Ben, why are you so nosey?”
“Because it’s who I am!”
“Haha, well it’s none of your business.”
“Oh, alright, whatever.”
“So what’s the STAG like?”
“Uh…” Ben raised an eyebrow.
“I mean are they good?”
“I suppose, why?”
“Oh, Emma asked me to check them out, wanted to know if it’s worth it or not?”
“Well yeah, they are good, I would take you but I have class at the moment.”
“It’s cool I will find my own way there.”
“Alright, bye Jenny,” Ben said, before passing her and heading towards his class.
Jenny walked down the hallways looking for the Auditorium, being new to the school she only knew where her classes, the bathroom and the cafeteria were. She continued to walk until she bumped into someone.
“Hey! Watch it,” a blonde haired girl said as she turned around.
“Oh, sorry.”
“Hey, are you that new girl from London?”
“Uh... yeah, why?”
“Hi, I’m Caro, captain of the Volleyball team. We’re looking for a new player and you seem like you would fit that perfectly.”
“You know this how?” Jenny asked, confused.
“I was speaking with Ben and he said something about you playing Volleyball back in London.”
“For fun, yes.”
“Well, how about you come try out and we’ll be the judge of that.”
“Yeah, maybe, but for now, I am looking for the auditorium.”
“I can show you?”
“That would be good.”
Jenny followed Caro to the auditorium; they had finally reached it and she saw the STAG performing. Jenny’s smile returned when she heard Emma sing.
“Wow, they’re amazing.”
“Yeah, I suppose they are, but they are a bunch of nobodies.”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because, they are a bunch of nerds; they don’t know anything at all, stick with me and you will be a somebody; stick with them and you will be a nobody.”
“Oh, you are charming Caro.”
“Just telling you how it is.”
“Well, I think they are fantastic,” Jenny said, turning her attention back to the singing group.
“Suit yourself, but if you change your mind, look for me,” Caro said, walking away.
Jenny stayed and watched them preform for a few minutes longer, she then left and made her way to her next class. This was the only class she didn’t have with Emma. The brunette sat in the corner not paying attention to anything as her mind was only focused on the singing blonde. ‘Her voice is amazingly beautiful, makes her even more gorgeous, oh man, Jenny stop, she has a girlfriend, stop thinking about her, nothing is going to happen, please stop, stop, stop!’ Before she knew it class was over and everyone was getting up to leave.

The rest of her classes went by quickly and soon enough the end of the day finally arrived. Jenny walked outside and found Ben sitting on the stack of books.
“Ahh, finally the end of the day is here,” Jenny sighed.
“I know right, it dragged on and on,” Ben grinned.
“So, I hear you’ve been speaking about me.”
“Haha, what do you mean?”
“I ran into a girl named Caro, she said something about you telling her about my Volleyball past.”
“Ahh, crap, well they are looking for new people and I kind of just blurted it out, sorry,” Ben said, feeling guilty.
“No it’s fine; I might give it a go actually.”
“Well that sounds fantastic, ready to leave?”
“Yeah, I am, I will speak to Caro about it tomorrow,” Jenny said, following Ben to the car.
They arrived home and Jenny let out a massive sigh before making her way up stairs and flopping down on her bed. ‘Hopefully trying out for volleyball will stop me thinking about Emm… shit! Hold on, I have a project to do with her, ugh this isn’t going to work,’ Jenny thought, placing a hand on her face. ‘It’s cool Jenny, you can do this!’
