Quite the ladies man i see

"You got a date?"  Marty was...  relieved was what she wanted to feel.  After all, if Leo was dating someone else she didn't have to worry that he might like her.  Only... what she was feeling didn't seem much like relief.  "Cool."  That last word might not have rang all that sincerely.

She kicked off and rolled through the portal before he could answer, though she didn't move far from it once she crossed.

Jennifer giggled slightly over Marty's apparent confusion. She wasn't entirely sure that the football players were her type, preferring more of the mysterious good boy types like Edmund in her Dawn Knight books, but given this was the closest she had ever gotten to real life romance, she couldn't help but try and play match-maker a little.

"He's just being assertive, silly," she said as she sidled up to Marty. "Guys do it all the time." not mentioning that her sample size was made almost entirely up of romance novel characters. "The best part is when you go into it assuming he's a jerk, but then once you spend enough time with him you realize he just has a sensitive heart that you can bring out and turn him into a perfect boyfriend."
