I have more stories coming up, some really crazy ones maybe, I don't know yet. I'm still on vacation..like all summer except two weeks before school, but when my bestie goes home I will be writing my butt off, I'll miss her. Anyway enjoy, this is one of many unfinished stories.
"Alex what are you doing?" I hear Derrick, my brother Justin's best friend ask. I didn't have time to answer him since I was busy tossing all my dirty clothes under my bed as I picked up school books and magazines. "Well its just fun to be ignored," I hear him say before I stop to turn to him. He's a blonde boy with hair that usually falls over his eyes. He's wearing dark jeans and a black shirt with some shoes he decided to color blue and green for some reason. I think Derrick was the only boy my mom actually allowed in my room with the door shut, I mean sometimes without thinking I would change in front of him, but then he'll complain and run out…boys. I was standing in a above the knee blue-jeaned skirt, yellow top and some fish-net stockings with my black converse. My style was always unique and no one was going to forget it, my hair laid across my shoulders. I was tossing things under my bed for what seemed liked forever until I heard Justin's voice from outside my door. It was a whisper at first that grew, followed by Mitchie's laughter. I knew her voice or her laugh from anywhere, it was sweet and gentle and didn't overpower everyone's voice who was speaking. I stood up straight and ran to my mirror pressing my hair down as Derrick walked over to me.
"You know Alex one day you're going to have to stop oogling your best friend and tell her how you feel," Derrick said before I stared at him and my door opened. Mitchie walked in with her hair straight, jeans and a dark blue top and some converses, she got that from me. I stared, her face was all I really paid any attention to, the sounds my brother and his friend was making was drowned out by Mitchie's.
"Alex, Alex are you okay?" she asked me as I began blinking a few times before nodding.
"Something was trying to get in my eye"
"So why didn't you close them?"
"That would have been a good idea," I said laughing before she wrapped her arm around my neck. We always did this when we saw each other, and I think she purposefully hugged me too many times in a day, my skin would heat up and my cheeks would burn a bit, and I knew she felt that change in my body. I never hugged back, my arms would stay to the side and she'd pull back smiling as big as ever. Justin and Derrick would always smile at the two of us before saying something stupid like..oh just get married already.
"Um we don't want to stick around for the honeymoon," Derrick laughed as Mitchie eyed them. We didn't think anything of their words, or at least I didn't until recently. I mean everything Mitchie does just makes me smile. The way her hair moves, the way she smiles, just everything.
"So what are we doing today guys?" Mitchie asked as the boys shrugged. As long as I stayed with her, who cares what we did. "Alex?"
"Huh?" Crap, lost in my thoughts again.
"What do you want to do?"
"Whatever you want.." wow that's just giving her an invitation to do whatever she wants, wait duh, I said that.
"Well it doesn't matter, what do you want to do?" she faced me. We ignored the boys after that, or at least I did. I sort of forgot they were in the room as I stared at Mitchie.
"I mean, whatever, we like the same things anyway, so what are we gonna' do?" I asked before Justin grabbed Mitchie's arms.
"How about we choose since you two will go back and forth all day," he turned to Derrick. Mitchie was still starring at them and I was looking at the side of her face. She had a blank expression, her lips pushed together and her hands folded between each other. The boys spoke for at least a minute and I was glad they did because I just stared at the girl that was pulling on my heart. Just as I was about to look away Mitchie stared at me from the corner of her eye, her head turned and she smiled. I guess I was smiling dumbly at her and it would be rude not to smile back…crap I was caught.
"So your birthday is tomorrow, how about we just hang out, the two of us," I heard Mitchie ask. I really didn't have anything planned for the day I was turning seventeen.
"Um yeah," I said as Justin spoke.
"We'll head to the movies, come on girls," he said as Mitchie laughed and pulled my arm towards her. I willingly fell over into her before her arm linked with mine. I was glad she didn't grab my hand because I'm pretty sure it was sweating, gross I know but yeah it was.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
"So what movie do you girls want to see?" Derrick asked as Mitchie let my arm go. I wanted to still be close to her, but I guess I was lucky she didn't move. Everything tingled inside of me and I felt actually, I don't know a giddy kind of happiness around her.
"Oh we could see Dead Bunnies or Killer Psycho or…," Mitchie stopped and turned to me. I knew it was coming, she would ask me what I wanted to see and I would say whatever she wanted and she'd say the same thing. I sighed loudly before her eyes met mine. I don't know why I felt a surge of energy shoot through me when her eyes met mine but it did.
"We could see Killer Psycho unless you want to see that bunny one," Damn it, why can't I just say one movie and not give her a choice.
"Killer Psycho it is, four please," Justin quickly said before anyone could protest. Mitchie just laughed and followed Justin as I stared at Derrick.
"I can't believe that you guys are so blind"
"To what?"
"Um hello, no one goes back and forth like that unless they like the other person, and I guess friends do like choose stuff but you two are kinda…"
"I don't know, It feels so good to feel like this when I'm with Mitchie. I just love being around her, everything feels so perfect, but I know she'll never feel the same way."
"And you know this because?"
"Well she's had a boyfriend"
"And so have you"
"Yeah but I never did anything with my boyfriend," wait was I suppose to tell him that?
"Alex, I will only tell you this once..Mitchie did not sleep with Zac"
"Um huh, and you know this because?"
"It doesn't matter, maybe she told you that because you were all over your boyfriend that she didn't want to feel like.."
"You know too much about this. Did Mitchie say anything to you?"
"What? No…No, I'm just.."
"Don't lie to me"
"I'm not, look Alex…its best to just getting your feeling all out in the open, because once you get lost, there's no coming back," I heard him and it was so confusing.
"Thanks a lot Dr. Phil," I said before Mitchie ran back to me and slid her fingers between mine. I looked her in the eyes but she looked away before pulling me into the double doors. We walked into the dark theater room, the boys were at the concession stand since they knew what we liked, we went to the movies every week, good thing I always got out of paying Justin back. I would never make Mitchie pay him and tell him I got the money at home, he'd fall for it every time.
"Where do you want to sit?" Mitchie asked. I think it was best to just look at her until she decided herself. My eyes moved from hers and onto her lips. I wanted to look away but the blue light that bounced off her face from the screen transfixed me to her skin. "We can sit up here," Mitchie said looking away before tugging me. I couldn't believe that I was actually starring at her lips. She slid past two guys who were smiling at us before she continued to tug me further into the people. We stopped where there were only two seats. I gulped, it was super crowded and I was never use to sitting next to Mitchie at the show.
"What about the boys?" I asked as she pointed below us, there were two seats directly in front of us so I nodded and sat down as she followed.
"I've never been to the show when it was this crowded," Mitchie whispered as I turned to her. Now her eyes were shining a bit blue as I nodded. She was starring at me before I heard my brother and his friend pushing through people in our row.
"There is no room, go down there," I said pointing to the seats in front of us. Derrick smiled but Justin pouted before tossing candy into my lap. The boys hopped over the seat as Derrick smiled at me. His eyes shifted from me to Mitchie a few times. My heart was racing because I was scared she would take notice and say something. But she never did, he just stopped and hit my knee before facing the front. I didn't turn to look back at Mitchie after that. Not only was I scared, but my stomach was hurting now, stupid Derrick.
……………………………………………………………………………………
Somewhere in the middle of the movie Mitchie had placed her hand on the armrest in the middle of us. I didn't know and dropped my hand there as well. My fingers burned from her touch, not in a bad way but it caused butterflies to do flips in my stomach. I was about to pull my hand away when Mitchie gripped my fingers between her hand and placed our palms close together. I turned to her and she faced me smiling before I turned back to the screen. Maybe she was scared or something but whatever the case this is exactly why I refused to sit next to her. I mean its great that I'm getting exactly what I want, but what if I'm taking all of this the wrong way? Then what?
A few minutes later some guy on screen hopped out and stabbed some girl who was in a wheelchair. There was so many things wrong with that, most people in the theater screamed but I couldn't focus on the screen. Mitchie was no longer in her chair completely, she was pushed towards my chair and her head laying against my shoulder. I could feel myself sweat from how fast my body was pumping the blood. I swallowed and it sounded loud, Mitchie had to take notice and if she didn't whatever she was smoking I needed some of it.
………………………………………………………………………………….
After the show everyone began filing out. We stayed in our seats and Derrick turned to me with a huge grin on his face meeting me and Mitchie's imparted fingers before looking back up.
"So, girls, how was the movie," I began shaking a bit as Mitchie released my hand and dropped hers on my knee. Everything tensed up, Derrick saw it and Justin barley noticed.
"I was a bit scared, good thing I sat with Alex," Mitchie brushed a few loose strands of hair behind her ear before turning to me. I regained feeling in my leg and pushed myself out of my seat, stared at each of them before making my way from among the seats. I don't know what they did after that but my stomach was bubbling like crazy, I wanted to throw up, I could feel it slide up my throat and sit in the middle getting ready to come out. I fled into the bathroom and rushed into a stall, no one was in there so within seconds I let out all the popcorn and candy I stuffed myself with since I was extremely nervous. Washed my face with a towel and stared at myself in the mirror until Mitchie walked in looking lost.
"Alex are you okay?"
"Yea, I think the popcorn got to me," I lied, because the feeling was coming back with her near me.
"Oh, um, so how about we just do something… just the two of us" she smiled. Why did that sound so wrong to me? I mean not wrong but super kinky and….
"Yeah, a sleepover sounds fun," I stood up straight away from the sink and took a deep breath before walking back out towards my brother and his friend.
………………………………………………………………………
"So Alex, what happened back there?" Derrick asked. Mitchie and Justin were laughing in front of us, maybe a few feet ahead.
"I don't know what you mean"
"You ran to the bathroom, Alex the more you let her touch you the worse those feelings you're having will get"
"I don't know what to do, I can't just tell her, besides I don't even know if I…. I mean, she never seen me as a…girl's girl"
"Yeah, but if you continue to lie to her, what friendship will either of you really have?"
"A unbroken friendship," I spotted our house as Mitchie looked over her shoulder. Her hair flew over her shoulder and pressed against her cheek as she faced me, smiled and laughed before placing her head on Justin's shoulder.
Continuing when I don't feel dizzy and have my bestie stealing my laptop…
