chapter three | mamma mia was less dramatic

"Let's go in. The movies about to start," Jenny said hastily before she pushed past them and headed for the theatre.

After the movie was over, Jesse and Santana headed off to The Cliff for their 'date after the date' as Jesse dubbed it.

The place held memories for them as it was where Jesse had first kissed Santana. Even if it was just on the cheek.

Jenny decided to go straight home because for one, she didn't want to third wheel them, two, Jesse kept on looking at her weird and she didn't want to spend anymore time around him and his suspicions, and three, she was exhausted from the events of the day.

As Jenny walked in through the door of their home to silence, she knew her mom was already asleep. Mrs Archer had been getting exhausted easily lately, especially with all the running around she's had to do for Jesse's graduation. She had to plan parties and tried to get something as mundane as the dress code ready.

Mr Archer was back in New York, attending to some business meetings at the headquarters. Without him there, the house felt considerably empty, especially since Jesse was with Santana most of the time and Jenny was running around with her duties for the student council and some clubs she'd join to build up her CV.

Just as Jenny started upstairs to get some well-deserved rest, she heard rustling from the kitchen. She rolled her eyes as she knew what exactly was making those sounds.

"Really?" she whispered as she took in the sight of her youngest brother going through the nutella jar as if he had been starved for centuries. "Jake!"

Jake looked up from where he sat by the fridge, a spoonful of nutella in his mouth and the opened jar in one hand. His face was painted with nutella and he looked blissfully happy.

He looked up at Jenny and smiled as he pulled the spoon out of his mouth, his teeth was nutella coated and Jenny wondered again how he had managed to retain those pearly whites with all the sugar he inhaled. "Hey Jen," Jake managed out. "How'd the third-wheeling go?"

Of course Jake knew about the whole plan to get Santana to the date with Jesse. Jenny had asked him for his input when she had gotten home from school earlier.

Jenny shrugged, knowing that she couldn't very well tell her younger brother that Daemon had popped up and had made everything awkward before he up and left without a word. Even though she shared a lot of things with Jake, she decided that telling even him about that night was a no-no. "Didn't mom tell you to stop eating that stuff?"

Jake returned her shrug with a shrug of his own. "Maybe," he managed out as he scooped another spoonful of nutella.

Jenny was thankful that she had grown out of her love for nutella as she watched her baby brother contaminate the spread with his saliva. "You better dump that before tomorrow, Jake or I promise you mom will take away your phone for a whole month."

Without staying back to see if he followed her words or not, Jenny said goodnight and headed to her room where she knew relief waited for her.

"Truth or Dare, Spin the Bottle, Treasure Hunt," Glenn read over the list of activities they had come up with to discuss with the other members of the council for the getaway. "There's also the pepero game that you mentioned. Where did you get that idea from again?"

"Oh that one," Jenny smiled hesitantly, as she wondered if she should mention it or not. "It's a Korean game some of my friends from New York told me about. We usually played it at some sleepovers. I think I've watched some Korean game shows that showed how it was played."
