Hassan Sentamu, now 18, denies the murder of Elianne Andam in Croydon last September.
The Old Bailey heard Elianne had gone with her friend, who can not be named for legal reasons, to meet Sentamu. The friend and Sentamu had been in a relationship, which had ended.
At the meeting they were supposed to swap personal possessions, the court heard, but when the friend handed a bag to her former boyfriend, who was wearing gloves and a mask and concealing a knife, he failed to hand over her items, including a teddy bear she wanted back.
The jury heard Elianne stood up for her friend and was then stabbed in the neck by Sentamu.
