You bounce your leg restlessly as you watch everyone around you. You don't even know why you showed up to the party in the first place. Your only friends there were the Yellowjackets, and you were always way too shy to initiate in any conversation with half of them anyways. Jackie and Nat were the only ones who try to talk to you at least — Jackie especially. She always finds you in between classes to ask how you're doing or rant about some drama she heard on the team. She knows you're considered the schools 'loner', but she genuinely likes you. She'd much rather hang out with you then have to deal with her teammates, which is why she ditched them to go find you.

"All by your lonesome?" you hear a voice slur from beside you.

You turn around and see Jackie and smile softly, your heartbeat increasing slightly as she stands shoulder to shoulder by you on the tree. "Always." you chuckle, admiring the tinge of pink on her cheeks. You watch as she pulls out a cigarette pack from her jacket pocket, lighting one up and leaning her head against the tree.

"I'm glad you came." she sighs, blowing smoke out of her mouth. "I'd be going crazy without someone to talk to."
