jenna

i woke up to my phone buzzing. my eyes cracked open as i looked at my phone sitting on the nightstand next to me.

i picked it up, blinking until the words on the screen came into focus.

jacob's name and the contact picture i had chosen for him were now displayed onto my screen. i sighed as i answered the phone.

"hello?" i croaked.

"good morning, jenna!" he said, in a tone i knew.

he wasn't calling to say good morning. he was calling to talk about one thing and one thing only.

"good morning, jay." i said, flatly.

"oh, i'm sorry, did i wake you up?" he said, sarcastically.

"ok. what do you want?" i asked.

"so, what else happened with you and matt? i know you're leaving something out. did you not wanna tell me or vinnie. or was it kaya you didn't wanna tell?"

i rolled my eyes.

"everything i said was true. the only thing i didn't mention was how he took me out to breakfast before we got my car."

"that's it?" he asked, sounding a mix of disappointed and relieved.

"yeah, that's it. can i go back to sleep now?"

"do you like him?"

"wha- i don't know. oh my god, i met him two days ago."

"yeah, well... i just had to ask."

"yeah, i know. he's taking me to the movies today, by the way." i told him.

"oh, yeah? how do you feel?"

"fine. i'm excited. haven't gone on a date for a while so..."

"yeah, i don't even remember the last guy." he laughed.

"that's cause he wasn't shit. i didn't try to talk about him." i laughed.

"you be sure to tell matt you got an older brother who can box."

i laughed loudly.

"i'm serious, jen!" he chuckled, trying to sound as serious as he could.

"yeah, you 'boxed' for about a year. you still suck!"

"no! me and vinnie still practice sometimes."

"yeah, right! he's not that bad, i promise."

"have you watched him preform. his jokes?" he asked, sounding slightly skeptical.

"yeah, of course i've seen him. i watch him all the time on youtube. and so what? he's a comedian. that's what they do, make jokes."

"yeah, but he makes everything sexual..."

"jacob... you make thirst traps on tiktok. i don't wanna hear a damn thing!" i laughed.

"i might make thirst traps but he makes sex jokes. there's a difference."

"yeah, he makes jokes. you make girls go feral from seeing you in black." i stated.

he chuckled. "alright, whatever. i'm just saying... be careful."

"i know. i am. thank you."

"well, bye. have fun on your date." he smiled.

"thank you very much. bye, jacob."

"bye, jenna." i hung up the phone.

i checked my phone to see a text from matt himself.
