Chapter 5: Jessica Louise Pennington

Jessica Pennington is the head cheerleader. Jessica's mom is Karlie who's a model, and her dad is David who owns a car company called Schmaguar. Jessica has one step-brother named Ashton. They don't have the same mother. Ashton was born long before their dad met Jessica's mom. In short, Ashton was the only child in David's first relationship. Ashton is a year older than Jessica's eldest brother, Michael. After Ashton's mother died, David eventually met Karlie and got married after a year of being together. Karlie never had a problem with Ashton as she treated him like he was her own son. David and Karlie then decided to have kids of their own. They had six kids, making Jessica the only daughter.

Jessica's older brothers are: Michael Louis Pennington (24 years old), Mike Gaston Pennington (22 years old), Matthew Edward Pennington (21 years old), Mark Alexander Pennington (20 years old), and Mitch Thomas Pennington (19 years old).

All 5 of them, including Ashton, work for their dad in the car business. Jessica and her five older brothers are half-Australian because of their mom. Jessica's hobby is shopping and has a massive shoe collection. She also has her OWN butterfly garden located at the resort of Rachelle's family.

Jessica was currently sitting on a chair whilst tweeting and snapchatting everything that's currently happening. Today is the grand opening of the Schmaguar Florida Branch. This is a joyous occasion for Jessica's family, but for Jessica it's just another event wherein she had to dress formally. She hated it, but she had no choice but to pretend that she liked everything that's happening around her. After all, without Schmaguar, her family wouldn't be rich.

She tweeted:

@JessPenn: Here at the new Schmaguar Florida branch! So happy to be here! #SchmaguarFlorida #SchmaguarGoesToFlorida (65k RTs. 23k likes.)

@JessPenn: If you wanna meet me come to the Schmaguar Florida branch grand opening! Love you guys! (92k RTs. 78k likes.)

She didn't really want to meet her so called "fans", because she's tired. But she had to. After all, her reputation was relying on it. If she did anything mean to them or if she ignored them, it'll be bad for not only her reputation, but also her family's reputation.

After the most dreadful 2 hours of staying at the grand opening; listening to her dad answer questions thrown at him, and another 2 hours meeting her followers/fans in real life, she was knackered. To her, that was the longest day of her life.

The next day, Jessica and her family were going back to LA. They went in their private jet and got comfortable for a long flight. "Jess?" Ashton called.

"Yeah?" Jessica looked up from her phone to look at her older brother. Despite Ashton being her half brother, they were really close.

"Nothing. I'm bored. Whatcha doin'?" Ashton said doing his best impression of Isabela from Phineas and Ferb.

"Oh my days. Ash, please don't do that ever again. Also, I'm editing our pictures and I'm on Snapchat and Twitter. Why?" Jessica asked.

"Hey! Let's do a Q & A!" Ashton squealed with happiness.

"Uh...why?" Jessica asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, it'd be fun! You have "fans" anyway." Ashton shrugged.

"Well, yeah I do. We don't have a YouTube channel, though." Jessica pointed out and gave him a look.

"Then let's make one! You have lots of followers on Twitter and Instagram. Plus, you have your boyfriend too! And don't forget those people on Snapchat! They'll all subscribe!" Ashton said excitedly.

"You have a point..." Jessica trailed off. She thought about it for a second and sighed, "Okay, fine. I'll do it. Will it just be you and me? Or are we gonna include the five blokes over there arguing over FIFA?" Jessica pointed at her brothers.

"Nope, and don't you mean four blokes? Mitch is pretty calm reading Vogue magazine." Ashton said as he looked at Mitch. Mitch is straight. Turns out that was the only magazine available. He had no choice but to read it. Besides, it feels nice to read about things from a woman's perspective.

"Oh. Yeah. Let's just include Mitch then." Jessica concluded.

With that, they made their YouTube channel and it's already up and running. So far, a lot of Jessica's followers subscribed to her channel already. Jessica tweeted:

@JessPenn: Making my first YT vid with @MitchPenn and @AshyyPenn ! It's a Q&A vid so send in your questions!

As soon as she tweeted that, loads of tweets came piling in.

"Hello everyone!" Jessica greeted with a smile on her face. "This is my first video ever and I'll be joined by my brothers, Mitch and Ashton!"

"Hey!" Mitch waved and smiled at the camera.

"Hello!" Ashton smiled.

"So I told you guys to send us some questions and you guys sent a lot. Let's start!" Jessica laughed.

"Mitch, this one's for you. PennJess_fan says Hi Mitch! What's your favorite season?" Jessica read.

"Well, my favorite season is winter, because I love hot chocolate." Mitch simply replied.

"Fair enough. Okay, Ash this one's for you." Jessica said. "Are you ready?"

"I'm quite nervous, but I'm ready as fuck." Ashton said as he rubbed his hands together; a habit he does when he's nervous.

"Okay. Calm down!" Jessica giggled. "ILove_ASShyyPenn asks-"

"Haha! I love how she added another 's' on Ashton's name! Now, it's ASShyyPenn! She emphasized the word 'ASS'. I'm sorry, please continue." Mitch laughed as he read the user's name on her phone and covered his mouth afterwards.

"ILove_ASShyyPenn asks who your favorite singer is." Jessica continued.

"Okay. First of all, I respect the Twitter name. Second, my favorite singer is Michael Jackson! Such a legend." Ashton replied.

After answering a few more questions, they decided it was time to end it. "Okay everyone! That's it for today's video. If you like this video, please give it a like." Jessica said and did a thumbs up hand gesture.

"And if you want to see Jess, Ash, and I for more videos, click the subscribe button!" Mitch said happily.

"And of course we'll see you in Jessica's next video. Goodbye!" Ashton said with a small wave.

The Pennington family finally arrived home from Florida. Jessica went straight to her room. "Mark!" Jessica called. In a few seconds, Mark came running in Jessica's room. "What happened?!" Mark asks in panic mode.

"Nothing. I was just going to ask you favor." Jessica smiled sweetly.

"What is it?" Mark eyed her curiously.

"Well Ash, Mitch, and I, filmed a Q & A video earlier. Can you please edit it?" Jessica asked and batted her fake eyelashes.

"Sure. I'm bored anyway." Mark shrugged and immediately got to work. He was into editing videos and he does that on the side to get some extra money. After an hour so of editing, Mark finally finished it and uploaded it on Jessica's channel.

"Thanks so much, Mark!" Jessica squealed.

"No problem!" Mark replied as he went to his room to rest. Jessica quickly tweeted about her video:

@JessPenn: First YT vid! You may now watch it! (100k RTs. 24k likes.)

The next day, Jessica woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. She didn't want to wake up, but she had no choice. She had to go to school, so that she can graduate and go to college.

"Time for hellhole." Jessica groaned. She clearly wasn't excited for school.
