"She scared me more this time than ever before. I felt like Rapunzel, like trapped in a tower for the whole break," Jenny replied, pouting. She understood somewhat where their mother was coming from, but it didn't make it any easier to deal with.

She tensed up slightly as her sister leaned forward, glancing away for a moment. "I didn't know if you'd be cool with it," Jenny offered lamely, not a hundred percent meaning it. "He's.. really smart. Like, really smart.. maybe too smart. He doesn't know when to not act smart in front of people, but it's kind of cute. And he's really nice, despite that. To me, anyway. He's, uhm, got a sister and a brother.. he's in Sonnier," she explained, trailing off. "You know him."

She paused again. "Sort of."

"At least Dad gave you free run of Netflix" Ella consoled.

At that description Ella was stumped. "Everyone is Sonnier is too smart" she moaned, it was impossible to choose. "I know everyong" she whined dramatically.

"Just tell me!"

Jenny knew she couldn't avoid it for much longer. She had been hoping that the details would appease her sister into dropping the subject, but that hadn't been the case. She had, of course, left out the most important detail of all anyway.

"I'll tell you, but you can't tell mom or dad," she finally relented, lowering her voice. "I'll tell them later."

"Cross my heart" she said, doing the action. It was a solemn vow. They could take an unbreakable vow but that might be a bit dramatic.

Jenny glanced to her left, and then to her right. No one had moved closer, there was still no one paying attention to them. She had no reason to not just say it, especially after the things she had said on New Years. Hadn't she told Sera that she was sick of hiding, sick of worrying about what everyone else thought of her? And she was sick of it, she was sick of all of that shit.

But didn't make it any easier to just say this, even if saying it would lift a weight off of her chest.

"The one thing I sort of left out," the blonde began, fiddling with her straw for a moment, before looking up at Ella with a sheepish little smile. "Is that he is actually kind of a she."

Ella wrinkled her nose and thought for a moment. A girl? Why would you want to have a girlfriend, they probably cried more than boys and took up all the room in bed. But..

"That's the big secret? You've had me worried for weeks over that?" She was almost offended. "Why would I care if it's a girl!"

"I didn't think you'd care! It wasn't about that, I knew you'd be.. you know, you're you. You've always loved me no matter what, it was just.."

Jenny trailed off again, glancing over her shoulder, before returning her attention to Ella. "It's kind of weird, don't you think? I didn't know how to say it. How do you just tell someone that you think you might be-- you know? I never even knew gay people until we came to school. Does that make sense? Sort of?"

She sighed a little, rubbing her hands briefly over her face and sighing. "I'm really sorry, El.. seriously, I didn't know how to say it, that's all. If it makes you feel any better, I didn't tell anybody before I told you? I told I told her nobody could know until you knew. I hated not telling you the truth.. it's just still weirding me out. It's nothing something that you can just.. read a book about and be good at."
