Hey everyone. I finally got chapter 5 done earlier today. I just wanted to let everyone know that the people at Nifty are really, really nice and surprisingly caring. Anyway, if it's illegal to read this story because of your age or because of the laws where you do, just click on back. For those of you who are allowed to read the story, I hope you enjoy. From here on out, it'll just be me, Stephanie writing it, so I really hope the rest goes well. This'll be my first attempt at solo writing. So have fun!
Chapter 5
After leaving The Pizza Den, Nicole and Amanda went to Nicole's house. Nicole gave Amanda a quick tour of the house and finally they both settled in on the living room couch to listen to some music and just get to know each other better.
"So, did you mean what you said back there?" asked Amanda.
"About how I feel about you? Yeah... I meant it."
"Oh..."
"You... don't feel the same way, do you?"
There was a silence that fell between them and Nicole started to get very nervous.
"Well," whispered Amanda, "yeah... I do like you. I'm just not sure how to act."
"I'm not totally sure how to act either. I've never really felt this way before about anyone, so it makes me nervous."
"And how is it that you feel about me?"
"I really like you. You make me feel a way that no one else ever had before. It scares the hell outta me, but I want to get to know you better."
"I want to get to know you better, also," said Amanda smiling.
"Wow," thought Nicole, "She's really beautiful when she smiles. I like the way she crinkles her nose a little bit when she's all shy and ends up smiling. I want to kiss her so bad right now."
Leaning in closer to Amanda, Nicole slowly crept up to Amanda's face. Gently caressing Amanda's face, their lips were only millimeters apart.
"God," thought Nicole, "please, please don't let this stop!"
Closing the distance between their lips, Nicole softly pressed her lips to Amanda's. Tiny electrical sparks seemed to fly between them. It was honestly the most amazing kiss of Nicole's life. One that she would never forget. Even though she wanted the kiss to go on forever, Nicole pulled back after a few blissful moments.
Taking a much needed breath, Nicole said, "Wow... that was... wow..."
"I- that was- I liked it."
"YESSS!!! SHE FUCKING LIKED IT!! OH HELL YEAH! YESSSSSS!!" thought Nicole excitedly. On the surface, though, she was much more calm.
"Well, in that case," she whispered romantically, "let's try it again."
Just as she was leaning in and their lips were about to touch one more wonderful time, there was a pounding on the front door.
"Damn," said Nicole pulling away. "Who would have such God awful timing?"
She got up and opened the door, which presented a very pissed off Jamie.
"Jamie? Hi... what're you doing here?" asked Nicole somewhat irritated.
"Well, I just wanted to drop by and see if maybe you'd like to come with me to the mall. I didn't want you to think that I was mad at you or anything, y'know."
"I can't really right now," replied Nicole, pulling the door fully open and showing Amanda sitting on the couch.
"She's here?!" screamed Jamie. "What the hell is she doing here? God, why can't you just get rid of her? I wanted to spend some time with you today, but nooo, that slut has to be here. I wanted to maybe actually go somewhere, but once again, nooo, that BITCH has to be right up your ass like some lost little dog who's been kicked one too many times!"
"Jamie," Nicole started, trying very hard not to knock the living shit out of Jamie, "The only thing that's keeping me from telling you exactly what is going through my head right now is the fact that we've been friends for so long. For the time being, suffice it to say that you need to leave. You REALLY need to leave.... NOW!!" Pushing Jamie out of the doorway, Nicole finished by saying, "And don't ever talk to her like that again... or else!"
Standing up and squeezing her way through the two angry girls, Amanda stepped out onto the porch.
"Nicole, listen," started Amanda, "I really didn't want to come between you guys, but I really like you." Turning to Jamie, she warned, "Don't ever talk to her like that again." Amanda then starts to walk off, but casts an angry glare in Jamie's direction first.
"You'd better watch your fucking back bitch!" threatened Jamie.
"Jamie!" screamed Nicole, "get the FUCK out of my yard! If you lay a single fucking hand on her, your ass is mine. And you know from experience that I'm not kidding when I give out threats."
"You're kidding! You and I have been friends for six years! And now you're picking her over me?!"
"Yes. You and I may have been friends for six years, but your soul mate only comes along once in someone's lifetime."
With that, the last two girls parted ways and all three were left to stew in their anger until they all fell asleep later that night.
Amanda had a pretty normal day at school after the argument at Nicole's house... up until lunch. Amanda walked into the cafeteria and within seconds, Jamie was right behind her. All of a sudden, Amanda felt a hard shove from behind and fell forward. Laying on the ground for a moment, Amanda wondered what had just happened.
Looking up, she felt anger building up inside, "what the hell was that for?"
"Because," snorted Jamie, " you're with my girlfriend all the time. You're trying to steal her away from me!"
"You mean Nicole?"
"Yeah. Nicole. The girl you've been all hung up over lately."
Fuck you Jamie! If Nicole was dating you, then why would she be so all over me?"
"She IS mine. She doesn't like you. She's just playing with you. Trying to make me jealous!!"
Amanda, as the last bit of patience snapped away, shoved Jamie backwards as hard as she could manage. As she fell, the kids in the cafeteria jumped up and crowded around to watch. Quickly picking herself up from the ground, Jamie reels back and takes a hard swing at Amanda. Ducking away quickly, Amanda manages to get out of the way of her blow. After regaining her balance, Jamie pulled her arm back and makes hard contact across Amanda's face. Pulling her other arm back and swinging again, Jamie almost missed Amanda, but her fist slid across Amanda's face and knocked against her nose. Blood immediately began to slip out and down Amanda's face. Feeling the blood running down her face, Amanda's temper shoots through the roof. Rushing forward and using her entire body weight to throw Jamie to the ground, Amanda took Jamie by the shoulders and slammed her head back onto the hard tile floor. Almost panting in her anger, Amanda continuously punches Jamie's face, arms, and shoulders. All the hurt she'd felt when Jamie said that she and Nicole were dating, when she thought that Nicole was just playing games... everything just came out in a fury which Amanda then released on Jamie's body. Though Jamie tried to throw punches and scratched at Amanda's face, she wasn't able to get away. Finally, a few of the other students reached down and pulled Amanda off Nicole. Breaking free for a few seconds, Amanda kicked Jamie as hard as she could in her stomach. The students finally managed to pull Amanda back and hold her away long enough for Jamie to stand up and begin to compose herself. Coming through the doors after hearing the noise in the cafeteria, Nicole realized what had been going on immediately. Pushing her way through the crowd, she saw Jamie standing a little hunched over and bleeding profusely. Just then, she saw Amanda push a few people out of the way and take off running down the hall.
"Amanda!" Nicole yelled, "Wait!! Just wait a second!"
Nicole ran after her trying hard to close the substantial lead that Amanda had. Finally though, Nicole caught Amanda.
"Amanda... what... what was the fight about? What happened?"
"You lied to me! How could you? I had really started to like you a lot, and this whole time, you were lying! How could you do that?"
"Amanda, how did I lie to you? I do like you. I never lied about that part."
"Maybe not, but you let me fucking believe that you were single! I mean, God, Nicole, I had really started to fall for you, and now I find out that this whole time you and Jamie were together!
"Me and Jamie? We aren't together and we never have been!"
Looking down and acting suddenly very shy, Amanda quietly said, "I'm sorry."
"Sorry? For what? You got mad and you let it out. I'm not mad at you at all Sweetie... What happened to your face?"
"Oh... that. Jamie scratched me a little bit."
"A little bit? You've got scratches all over your face and your nose is bleeding."
Gently reaching up and running her fingers lightly over the scratches, Nicole tried to soothe the pain she was sure Amanda was in. Taking her chin in her hand, Nicole leaned in and placed her lips gently on Amanda's. Amanda slowly began to kiss back and could feel the love radiating from Nicole. Amanda opened her lips to the kiss just a tiny bit. Running her tongue across Amanda's lips, she too opened her mouth. Welcoming the kiss, they both could feel the intensity and love pass between them. Nicole reached her arm around Amanda's waist and pulled her closer. Just as she was about to lean in to make the kiss even more passionate, Nicole was pushed hard to her side and ended up sprawled across the hallway of the school. Looking up, she saw Jamie standing above her.
"Fuck you Nicole! She'll never have you! The next time I see her with you, I'll kick her ass!"
With that, Jamie jumped on top of Nicole and swung her fist hard into Nicole's face.
Hope you all enjoyed the chapter. The sixth chapter only has a few lines in it, so it'll be a probably a week or so before it's posted. Wish me luck : )
