Jenny had done as little thinking about Sera as she could since returning to school. She wasn't mad at her friend, per se, so much as unable to handle dealing with her. Which was no fault of Sera's, and only made Jenny feel worse about the whole situation. It was Jenny who was being weird, making things complicated, and causing drama. She was being avoidant, distant, and she wasn't sure what else to even try. Avoiding Sera wasn't working, that much was sure. They had hung out since the summer, but it hadn't seemed the same since then. How was she supposed to sit next to her supposed best friend and just watch television, knowing all of the while that the other girl wanted to kiss her?

And that, frankly, maybe she wanted to kiss her back.

Jenny had always tried to be drama-free, to be that one mature high school girl, the responsible one, but since the summer passed them by.. well, that felt like an impossibility.

With her unresolved issues with Charlie, her time.. spent with Quinn, adding Sera into that mix only made things worse. Mostly, of course, because she didn't want to see the younger girl get hurt. Most people might not have viewed Jenny as the type to get hurt with, but things weren't quite as appearances may have seemed. Jenny didn't intentionally hurt people, but she couldn't deny doing it. And she didn't want Sera to ever end up on the casualty end.

That was how the avoiding had begun, because there was no other option. She wasn't even sure what she felt, and she took little to no time to consider it, just trying to spare Sera's feelings all of the while instead. Her own feelings were not even her problem, until she really thought on it, which she tried not to do.

Today was another day of not thinking about it, of trying to avoid her problems, and just enjoy class. She was decked out in her own house colors, her ipod in the pocket of her jeans, and her earphones in each ear, leaving her mostly dead to the world. Her backpack hung over one shoulder as she walked.

When Sera grabbed her, the blonde flinched a little, whipping around to see who it was, and feeling her stomach sinking a bit. "Oh hey," she managed, hoping she didn't sound as awkward as she felt, as she removed one earbud so she could hear the brunette better. "What's up?"

"Not much!." Sera replied quickly with a smile, without really thinking about her response. She was just glad Jenny was talking to her, even if she wasn't exactly sure what she even wanted to say.

"So how have things been?" Sera asked just trying to fill in the conversation. They hadn't talked since the last time they got together to watch Glee and even then they didn't do much talking, so catching up a little couldn't hurt.

"Oh, uhm.. good, y'know? Just classes and stuff, cheerleading captain try-out stuff with Ella, the usual," Jenny replied, smiling a little at her friend. She continued walking, motioning Sera to follow her as she did. "What about you?"

"The same mostly, classes, studying, debate club." Sera grinned looking over at Jenny, as they walked down the hall together. She had been keeping herself pretty busy that was all she could really do to keep herself from going crazy since the summer.

"So where you off to now?" Sera asked. "You must be pretty busy today, with pep rally, choir, and the big game?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty swamped," Jenny replied, smiling wanly at the other girl. "I've been trying not to think too much about it all. I don't know I'm gunna fit it all in.. I'm actually going to go and put on my uniform for the pep rally. We're going to try to see if we can encourage more people to try out with us this year. Even if we only get one person, it's somebody, right?"

"Oh really?" Sera smiled. "I'm sure you guys will find a taker or two." She offered kindly. She had even considered joining her own house squad once or twice but despite how much fun it looked she was always able to convince herself that there were much more productive things she could be doing with her time. Not that she'd ever say that to Jenny, she knew how important cheerleading was to the blond.

"You heading back to your room now? I could walk with you if you want I heading the same." She was hoping for at least a few minutes to talk to Jenny. She had something completely out there to ask her, whatever the answer it was something she felt she had to do.
