Characters: Jenny and Ella. Setting: Sunday, at the mall food court. Content: SFW and adorable. Summary: Ella has decided to take her sister out and see what's up with her. Boy scouting is clearly the way to do this. Jenny not sure if want, and HEART TO HEART BONDING ENSUES. When Jenny had caught wind of this plan, she had done everything in her power to make it happen as painlessly as possible. She wasn't sure when or where Ella had caught onto her, but her sister knew something was up. Somewhere else along the line, Ella had decided that spending a whole day at the mall looking at boys was the way to solve whatever was up with her. Jenny had at least gotten fair warning, they had been talking about doing this for a few days now, Jenny's stomach knotting up worse and worse with each passing mention. She didn't want to turn her sister down, but she wasn't exactly thrilled about the prospect of wasting a whole afternoon scoping for dudes. She could be doing homework, or watching television, reading a book, something productive. Why couldn't Ella want to go to the library together, or sit down and watch a movie? Anything where she didn't have to try to keep it together and converse about who was fittest or sexiest or anything else. Jenny had woken up extra early, easy to do with Ella sleeping in, and snuck off to shower and get dressed before Ella could pick out an outfit for her. She had already been mentioning how hot they were going to look; Jenny wasn't sure she was feeling in the mood for being hot at the mall. Currently, she was just glad that they were finally taking a break, settling down in the food court on the upper floor. Jenny was currently standing in the Starbucks, waiting patiently for her drink, occasionally glancing back to where Ella was already seated. They had to talk, she had decided, but she didn't know how. It wasn't something easy to just face and blurt out, even to her sister, whom she shared everything with.. well, everything before this. She knew Ella wouldn't judge her, they'd still be sisters, but there was something just holding her back. She barely noticed when her drink was ready, eventually grabbing it and heading back to her table, sliding into the seat across from Ella. Her food from earlier was still in front of her, nuggets and ketchup, barely touched. She sipped at the frappucino, glancing back toward Starbucks. "He was cute," she said, biting her lip briefly. "The guy at Starbucks? He gave me a medium even though I ordered a small." Tags: !incomplete, ella parry, jennifer parry

Jenny smiled a little, watching her sister filtering through the phone. Even if it wasn't the ideal circumstance, she was glad to be here with her. It felt sometimes lately like they were growing apart, and that terrified Jenny. Regardless of anyone else in her life, she didn't know what she'd do without Ella. It was a scary thought.
"Huh? Oh, he had really pretty eyes," she agreed, leaning over a bit to look at the phone. "Text him and ask him what he's doing?"
She didn't really care, but if she just turned down every single dude, that would be rude. Ella was trying, after all.

Jenny had known this would be coming eventually, but she did her best to feign pure confusion. "What do you mean? Nothing's bothering me. I'm fine, just not that hungry," she explained, motioning down to the remaining nuggets in front of her. Maybe she could throw her off the trail, but she highly doubted it. This was Ella, after all, not just anybody. She could probably already tell she was lying.
"Really, I'm fine. I guess I'm just.. thinking about other stuff. Like, school and stuff, I mean. We still haven't done that project. I said I wasn't going to be your partner again if you don't help," she warned, hoping to change the subject if nothing else.

Jenny nearly choked on her drink, grinning around the straw at the other blonde. "Well, I don't know when he's not being an ass, but it's not him. I hung out with him a few days ago, and it was.. actually surprisingly chill. We went out to dinner sort of, but not even like that, before you suggest it!"
Leaning back into her chair, she looked at her sister closely. "It's not boy problems at all, if that's what you think.. like, far from boys."

"No!" Jenny replied quickly, putting her hands up defensively. "I'm really glad we went to Sam's, I had a really good time. I thought I wouldn't at first, but it was.. actually awesome. Before mom found out, I mean, but she seems like she might be over that now. She's acting more like herself now that we have miles between us," she mused, shaking her head a bit.
"Also, people seem like they've kind of forgot the dance, which I can live with, so it's not that either. I'm actually.. not even upset about anything. I'm really happy. But it's complicated. Does that make sense?"
She was glanced around them briefly, as if making sure no one was sitting too close. It was busy, but the closest people were two tables away, and the majority of people seemed too absorbed in themselves to notice the twins. Which was fine by Jenny.

"She does look a lot less haggard this month. She was like a wild woman over Christmas, I've never seen her so crazy.. was she like that when we were little? I don't remember her acting like that when I used to fit back then. I really don't think she was ever that nuts," Jenny mused, watching Ella chew at the spoon.
"I don't know how to explain it, that's why it's complicated. I'm happy, but I know that.. uhm, well. Some people wouldn't want me to be happy. It's hard to explain, see?"
It was, of course, only hard to explain because she was avoiding the actual issue. If she could just blurt it out, explaining would be no problem. But she wasn't sure she was ready for that. Maybe Ella would guess right eventually and put her out of her misery. "I met somebody at Sam's party. Sort of. You could say."

"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."

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."

"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."
