Chapter 12 - Jack of Hearts

Everyone looked at him as he said it so casually.

Jenna got up and walked to him gently pulling the card from his hand.

She looked at it then turned it round multiple type to make sure that it was only a trick.

"How? It's very rare if not impossible to get the Jack on your first pick." Mary said taking the card and placing it on the table.

"Well it happened." He said. "But not on the first try though." He added in such a way that no one heard him.

Just then, Dorothy got up from her seat and walked to where Jenna was. She pushed her out of the way and stood in front of Jensen and slapped him.

Everyone was quiet. "Nice one babe." Marcus said.

Jensen remained quite and dropped his head on his table.

Ever eye was on him. Jenna's, was a bot different. She didn't want him to react.

He looked up from his desk and packed up Andrea's cards.

"You can keep that." Andrea said.

"Thank you." He replied. "Mary, I hope we meet later." He added turning to her.

He put the cards in his bag and then picked it up and Jenna's.

"I heard you loud and clear. I won't do anything." Jensen said taking her hand in his.

She sighed knowing that he caught her eyes before

"For now." He said smiling sheepishly.

He looked at Dorothy with a plain look on his face. "Move you ugly pig." He said put his hand on her face and pushing her back.

The action caused her to stumble back and fall on her butt.

Marcus slammed his hands on his table getting up. "You—."

"Oi!" Jensen shouted startling everyone including Jenna. "You stupid perro. Don't even start your connerie."

"You called him a dog didn't you?" Jenna asked as they walked out.

"No I didn't." He said sarcastically.

"What was the other one?" She asked

"That's French for bullshit." He pointed out like a professor.

In the hallway everyone looked at them— more precisely, Jensen.

Two huge boys walked up them. Jensen pulled Jenna behind him gently.

"You should be more focused on yourself than the girl." One of them said.

"Oh I'm not to be worried about." Jensen said smiling.

He looked at Jenna and she gave him the same look as earlier.

"Ugh. Fine." Jensen said.

He walked to the first boy and gave him a quick jab on his neck making him drop to the ground gasping for air as he held his neck.

The second came at Jensen. Jensen casually placed his hand on this chest.

When he looked down, Jensen quickly swiped up his hand hitting his nose with enough force to send him to the ground.

"Jensen!" Jenna said.

"What? It's not like it was actually fight." He said walking off with her.

Jenna sat on the floor inside the indoor pool. Jensen law his head on her laps as she dipped her legs in the pool.

"You brought me here so that I won't get caught up with anyone." Jensen said.

"Yup. As much as I love you I don't want you to get involved with anyone that might get into an actual fight." Jenna said as she sprinkled some water on him.

"And who might that be?" He asked.

"People like Ben and Andrea if he were to be a player and also Daniel Marsh and Kobi Yu of class 3." She said.

Just then, they heard the dismissing bell. They both looked at each other and smiled.

"Well you survived." She said.

"Haha. Very funny." He said as he got up.

He dipped his hand in the pool and splashed water on her.

"You little devil." She said as she chased him out.

She followed him out of the pool room and down the crowded hallway then outside the school.

Then out of the blue Jensen stopped short and Jenna rammed into him.

"Ouch!" Jenna said holding her nose. "What happened? Why did yo—."

She stopped suddenly as her gaze landed on Ben, Marcus and another boy.

Jensen had his gaze on them. The warm look Jenna had saw as they left the pool room was gone. Replaced with an ice gaze that even she rarely saw.

"Jensen le—."

"Kid!" Ben yelled as Jenna began talking. "I heard you're the Jack of Hearts."

She instinctively went behind him holding his shirt while the others around looked in shock.

"Don't call me 'kid', you bloated buffalo." Jensen said coldly.

"You!" Ben yelled grabbing him by his shirt and pulling him closer to him.

Jenna was forced to let go. Jensen on the other hand could see the scared look on her face.

"I honestly don't have you time. Sorry I can't beat you right now. I'm bound by restrictions." Jensen said mockingly.

"I'll break both your arms." Ben said.

"Maybe start by breaking your streaks with the meat factory, Bruck Lobster." Jensen said.

"You little—."

The loud reving of an engine cut him off. Everyone's head turned to the sound.

Mizuki had just pulled up on the driveway. She removed her helmet and placed it on the bike.

"Baby bro, finish up quickly so that I can have you to myself." She said smiling at Jensen who returned it.

He grabbed Ben's wrist and squeezed tightly twisting his arm and causing him to let go.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I've got something doing at home." Jensen said.

He took Jenna's hand in his gently. "Bye boys." He added as he gently pulled Jenna away.

"If not for that weird bitch I would have beat the hell out of him." Ben said.

Jensen stopped mid stride. He let go of her hand.

As he turned round to throw a punch Jenna stood in front of him and held his hand down before he could lift it up.

"Please, not now." She said.

Jensen smiled turning round as she said that with a look that said 'she just wanted to go home in peace with him'.

Mizuki swiftly walked past Jensen. Before him and he or Jenna could process it she was behind Ben.

Mizuki tapped him on his shoulder. "You should know not to make fun of my little brother or I."

"Ugh. Lay of me you ugly hag."

"Ugly? Hag?" Mizuki said as a vein popped out on her neck as she closed her eyes tilting her head to one side.

Jensen hearing it turned to look at her closely. "Nuna geumanhae Seo-rin." Min-jun said.

Before he could get to her, she had grabbed Ben's head and punched him in the gut with her free hand. Then she placed her leg on his midsection and pushed him to the ground.

"You're lucky I've got to go home if not you'd need chiropractor just in case your neck breaks." Mizuki said. "And just so you know, i'm 21."

Mizuki walked up to where Jensen and Jenna was. She bent down to look at Jenna closely.

"So you're the girl that keeps twisting my baby brother's head." She said to herself.

Jenna stood there frozen inn place. "I like you. You're the third person to make my brother stop from fighting someone. Plus, you're pretty and I like your aura."

Jenna stared at Mizuki in awe. She was actually breath taking.

"Your just like him." Jenna said in a whisper. "I like you too."

Mizuki laughed as she straightened herself. "Welcome to the family."

Jenna looked at Jensen with bright eyes. "Don't get to happy or you'll get an attack." He said.

"If you don't mind, I'll like to take him home and change his diapers." Mizuki said with a smug look.

"Yes I think that that is necessary." Jenna said.

"I knew it was a bad idea for the both of you to meet." Jensen said walking to Mizuki's bike and leaning on it.

Just then, Jenna heard the loud honk of a car horn. She turned to see her mum waving at her from her car.

She walked up to Jensen and hugged him. "Mum's here. I gotta go." She said.

Jensen lowered his head and gave her a kiss on her cheek. "Alright see you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow's the weekend." She said.

"Then the park at noon?" He asked.

"Sure thing baby." She said as she pecked him and walked to her mum.

"I'll take that as words of your love and not as mockery." He said.

She laughed and waved him good night as she got into her Mum's car.

Jensen looked at Mizuki as she approached him.

"Well you certainly caused a scene." Jensen said.

"Did I embarrass you?" She asked.

"Not in the slightest." He said. "In fact you actually made everyone know that I have a sexy killer sister."

"You just earned yourself some ice cream." She said getting unto the bike.

"Nah. I don't want ice cream." He said.

"You ain't fooling me." She said as she put on her helmet. "Get on."

Jensen got on and put on his own helmet then wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Well you got that but can I drive?" He asked.

"When you turn eighteen and get your biker's and driver's license." She said.

"That's like two weeks from now." He said.

"That's still June and it's May." She said. "You've still got away to go."

She smiled through her helmet as she reved the engine and drove off.

Jenna looked through the window as she drove home.

"You're lost in your boyfriend's thoughts?" Maria asked.

"Yes." Jenna said as she fumble with her phone.

She showed her mum a picture of her and Jensen in the pool room. "Isn't he cute." She squealed.

"100%." Maria said actually approving. "But isn't it too early. Like he just came a day or two ago."

"I know mum. But I was an actual love at first sight. For both of us. But we were both to shy to say anything." Jenna said. "Mum, I trust him and like him. I hope you can accept him."

"Well for the fact that he stood up for you during that incident—."

"How did you know that?" Jenna asked cutting her off.

"Well Andrea told me when I asked him about the boy before I came to see you." Maria said with a shrug.

"Mum, I thought you don't spy on me." Jenna said.

"I just wanted to know a bit more about the kid and Andrea was the closest." Maria said. "I hope you're not angry."

"I'm not." She said. "But for now don't do any mum stuff while you're in school."

"Mum stuff?" Maria asked flabbergasted.

"I kidding. I love you just as you are. Erotic or not you're my lovely mother." Jenna said hugging her mum as she was driving.

"Let go unless you want to end up in the side of the road." Maria said laughing.

Jenna laughed as she adjusted herself to sit properly.

"At least now you have someone to grab you breasts for you." Maria said. "But no sex till you're eighteen."

"Mum, come on!" Jenna yelled.

"That's for calling me erotic." Maria said laughing at Jenna.
