NADINE

Lexy : Ugh where are Jake and Cory?! Class is about to begin!

Devon : What if they're in trouble.

Lexy : I'm sure they're fine.

Nadine : I don't know, maybe we should go che-

Ruth : So Everyone! Sorry I'm late. Can everyone turn to psalm 27!

Denis : Fuck sake.

I hope everyone's okay.

I opened the book that I shared with Lexy.

Lexy seemed to notice my hands slight shaking.

Lexy : Hey, I'm sure they're fine.

She rubbed my back but that's not the type of touch I want from her sweet, silk hands.

I feel wrong for liking Lexy this way but she's so pretty and smart and... she has to be the funniest I have ever had the opportunity to lay eyes on.

I was blushing...

I shouldn't feel this way! Lexy is straight and I have to accept that. Am I a bad friend?

Lexy : Are you okay?

I was stolen from my train of thought and thrown into reality.

I smiled largely.

Nadine : Of course I am silly!

I giggled.

Lexy : Hey do you wanna go to the secret place after this? To hangout?

Nadine : Sure, sounds like fun!

~~~

Lexy : It's almost over and Jake and Cory are a no show!

Denis : I need to know what's happening.

Lexy : Like you'd care anyway.

Denis : What's that supposed to mean.

Lexy : J-

Nadine : Nothing, you just don't have an empathetic aura.

Denis : What are you? A fucking voodoo psychic?!

I laughed softly.

Nadine : No, silly!

He just rolled his eyes and turned away.

I leaned over to Lexy to whisper.

Nadine : Did I say something?

Lexy : No he's just a dick.

I snickered.

Devon looked... off?

Nadine : Devon? Are you okay?

Ruth : Nadine, no talking.

Nadine : Sorry mam.

She continued with her boring lecture.

Jake and Devon are so lucky! So are Cory and Denis! They're gay and poof, suddenly they have boyfriends. Why can't I have a girlfriend?!

Is it me? Am I ugly?

Nadine : Lexy? Am I ugly?

Lexy : No. You're Gorgeous.

That sounded like a command.

Lexy : Why? Did someone say something?! I'll beat the shit-

Nadine : No, no. I was just thinking.

Lexy : You're one of the prettiest people I've met, no doubt in my mind.

Nadine : Thanks Lexy. You're pretty too.

~~~

Ruth : You can all leave.

Lexy : Do you wanna go grab food at the canteen or should we just go straight up to our hangout spot?

Nadine : What about Jake and Cory?

Lexy : Their boyfriends will take care of them.

Nadine : I don't feel hungry yet.

Lexy grabbed my hand gently and skipped over to our secret place.

We opened the door that lead to the staircase.

Our secret place was a tower that gave you a view of the entire school.

(Yes, I'm talking about the one from episode 7 of the series... I'm sorry.)

Dim candle light illuminated the walls from the suns shadow but not enough for someone to look up and gain suspicion.

Drawings hung on the wall and my stuffed animals collection was scattered about with soft carpet to comfort bare feet.

It was cozy.

Lexy : So... are you okay?

Nadine : Of course!

Lexy : Then why did you look so... scared?

Nadine : Probably just nervous for Jake and Cory.

Definitely not because you were making me blush-

Lexy : Oh.. alright. Not gonna lie I'm a little bit bored..

Nadine : I like you!

Lexy : Huh? I like you too silly?

Nadine : No... I mean...

I gave her an apologetic look that should've finished my sentence.

Her reaction made my heart-race. She looked scared.

Nadine : I'm sor-

She ran down the stairs and left without another word.. what have I done?..

Sorry for the short chapter but I'm lazy so deal with it!
