[Molly's Pov ]
"FUCK YOU SLUT" Bre screamed angrily as the blonde laughed with her friends.
"Maybe I want her to," I said defiantly, turning my head around as Bre seemed determined to fix my hair even after that rather nasty comment towards her. "And I don't think it's any of your damn business anyway bitch."
"EWWWWW carpet munching sluts" She snarled as she disappeared into the shower room.
"You're just jealous cause you want some," I said loud enough for her to hear, and turned back around to find Bre smiling brightly and said quietly, "Thank you for that and not freaking out. It was so funny seeing Courtney get put in her place once. You're quite the spitfire."
"Why would I freak out?" I asked, "It's your business if you like girls or whatever. Truth be told, I do, too."
"Whoa really?" She asked, finishing with my hair as she twisted a couple of strands together and let them hang casually down the side of my face. "By the way, you look great."
"Thank you," I said confidently as I looked at my new do. "You got magic fingers, and yes, I do like girls."
"Well, I don't actually like girls," She said as I realized I may have let the cat out of the bag for no reason. "Stupid bitch found out about me kissing a girl last year, one time, and ever since she's like 'I'm a lez' every chance she gets."
"OHHHHH," I said as the thoughts of a potential romance went flying out the window.
"But I don't mind if you are, though," She said pleadingly. "I mean, if you wanna be friends, I hope."
"Of course I do, don't be silly," I said, admiring my hair in the mirror and smiling at her handiwork. "Besides, maybe I can convince you to try that kissing thing again?"
"Oh god," She said, laughing and covering her mouth as she pushed me away. She checked her watch and realized she was late for practice and said, "Oh no, I'm late, well almost, coach is gonna kill me."
"Then go, can't have you getting in trouble over me already," I said as she flashed me a million-dollar smile, scribbled a note on a piece of paper, and tossed it to me before she ran out the door.
"THANKS FOR THE NEW DOO."
"NO PROB!" She screamed back as she ran down the hall, her voice echoing.
Courtney and her gang of tag-alongs came out and snarled one more time, but surprisingly, they didn't say anything as they exited the bathroom. Soon after that, a steady stream of girls came in and out as I finished.
I didn't have any classes that day or for the rest of the week, for that matter, so I went outside for some fresh air and went for an early morning walk. Hoping in a way, I'd run into someone I knew. But before I knew it, I was following this trail that led to the west side of the campus into a wooded area.
I stopped by a wooden bench under this huge oak tree to tie my shoe again when I saw a familiar face coming down the trail towards me, Cally. I stood and was about to walk in her direction when I felt someone grabbing my butt under my skirt.
I jumped and turned as she went by, looking at her as she smiled and dared me to do it back. She was really pretty, and for some reason (an obvious one), I didn't feel like pounding her.
"Hey, I'm Shelby, and you are hot, damn girl," She said as I blushed and watched Cally walk up behind this girl, who, for the record, was a light-skinned black girl with a smoking hot body and the most gorgeous set of... eyes, yeah, that's it.
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. This was the girl from the auditorium, Cally's friend. Holy shit, talk about daylight changing things for a person. "You see that Cally? I grabbed her ass and she didn't even jump. I so wanna tap that ass."
"You gonna let her grab my ass that way and get away with it?" I asked Cally, and thinking about Shelby's 'wanna tap that ass' comment as she grinned and reached for my butt again, as I moved to Cally's side, took her arm, and trying to look like a damsel in distress, said, "You said I was your girl."
"Come here bitch" Cally said running after Shelby as I laughed and ran after them. Shelby had something to get to as we reached the center of the campus (coincidentally in front of my dorm) a few minutes later. She made some excuses and took off running.
I secretly thought that Cally gave her the signal to get lost, and she took the sign. Strangely, I also got the feeling that Cally was really attracted to me, not that I minded, she was so hot, but for some reason, she was so tense and uncomfortable around me. I also remember thinking how she obviously wanted to ask me something...
"You break them up yet?" Cally asked with a rather monotone sound in her voice.
"Chloe and Maxie? No, and I'm not going to," I said, sitting down on the bench as Cally sat down beside me and looked down at the ground. I could swear she was nervous, but why, I asked myself.
"No problem," She said, flashing me a smile and making me think that that's what she wanted to know all along. Cause now she was noticeably less nervous. "I kinda prefer if you did, I mean, you didn't. God, I'm so stupid."
"No, you're not, but you are cute," I said, nudging her playfully as she looked at me and flashed a genuine smile and half rolled her eyes at my playful flirting. "I mean, you did say I was your girl..."
"Yeh, just a figure of speech," She said, taking the air out of my sails.
"Oh," I said, figuring it was something she said and didn't really mean.
"No, Molly.....ugh....I didn't mean it that way," She said as she turned to look at me. "I just mean....we're not to....you know....we're not together...so you.... you're not... that's what....I don't know. I just didn't mean to hurt your feelings, that's all."
"Say what you mean," I said gently as I crossed my legs, trying to be ladylike and move a stray hair from her eyes (a Megan move if there ever was one).
"I can't," She said, looking at me with a worried look on her face.
"Why not?" I asked, trying to figure out what was so hard for her to say.
"I suck at this, I always have," She said, turning away and biting her lower lip. "One of the reasons I stopped chasing guys is that I can't talk to them. But that sure hasn't changed."
