Faking It

It'd been a week since Amy had given her blessing for Karma and Liam to be together as well as their falling out and she'd been doing everything possible to keep busy and not think about Karma because Amy needs to move on. Amy had spent more time with Lauren and Shane who both seemed to share a common interest lately… bitching about Karma. Amy didn't approve of it, even though Karma was dating Liam now and they hadn't spoken in a couple of days but she was still Amy's best friend.

"Guys, if you're gonna bitch about Karma then I'd prefer you do it behind my back or something." Amy sighed one afternoon.

Shane pulled a face "I don't want to be left alone with her," he said.

"What makes you think I want to spend time alone with you anyway?" Lauren shot back at him.

"Guys stop it!" Amy said, seriously it didn't take that much for Lauren and Shane to start bitching about each other. It was funny at times but after a while it got to be irritating and childish.

"Personally I think you should be pissed, she literally implied that it was a hard decision between you and Liam. You... her best friend of how many years?" Lauren voiced with her arms crossed tightly over her chest and with her eyebrow raised. Amy hated it because technically Lauren was right.

"She finally says something I agree with," Shane said.

Karma scrolled through Instagram while Liam was downstairs grabbing them both a drink when she saw a picture on Amy's account which had been uploaded half an hour ago. It was of her and Shane… of course it would be, lately it seemed that Amy preferred his company over Karma's.

She scrolled past it to see the exact same picture uploaded to Shane's account with the caption 'Helping Amy get ready for AmyRaudenfeld's hot hot HOTTT date ;)' in which Amy had liked the picture and… Lauren?

Karma shook her head slightly, what was going on?

It had been a week since she'd properly spoken to Amy mostly because Karma had put her foot in it again. It seemed she'd been doing that a lot lately. She sighed as she saved a copy of the photo to her phone. Karma had been trying to talk to Amy to apologize but every phone call was declined, every text was ignored and Amy always seemed to be with Shane at school.

"What's up, you look upset." Liam said softly as he entered the room making Karma almost jump out of her skin.

"It's Amy; I somehow keep managing to say stuff that upsets her. Before all of this we barely ever fell out and now it just seems I find new ways of making her mad with me." Karma admitted to him, she felt a bit weird confiding in him about all of this but if this was to work then she needed to be open and honest with him.

Liam looked at her softly "I'm sure she'll come around," he said "I'm sorry… I've never really had to deal with this kind of thing before…" he added.

Karma smiled at him "It's okay," she said.

Amy walked into her bedroom to find Lauren sat on her bed reading a book. Amy let her bag fall to the floor. "You realise you're in the wrong bedroom right?" Amy said absently as she placed her coat over her bag before sitting on her bed.

Lauren didn't look up from her book so Amy decided to push her slightly.

"What the hell!?" Lauren exclaimed.

"I said you realise you're in the wrong bedroom and you carried on reading," Amy recalled as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Oh, I've been waiting for you to get back from your date. How was it?" Lauren asked looking awkward.

"What's going on here?" Amy asked suspiciously.

Lauren rolled her eyes "Look… you were the one who said that we're sisters now so… this is me trying to be sisterly?" she explained sounding unsure.

Amy sighed "Fine, it was good."

"Is that it? 'It was good', that's all I get?" Lauren asked.

Amy frowned "Why are you so invested already?" she asked "Look, it was very good. We had dinner and I didn't think about Karma once. She even asked about a second date before she dropped me back." She explained.

Lauren nodded her head as she got off of Amy's bed "She seemed nice… and was very pretty." She said before leaving Amy's bedroom. Amy frowned at her now closed bedroom door… did Lauren just approve of her date?

She didn't have much time to contemplate when her phone went off twice. She opened the text messages.

Karma – Hope your date went well, I was wondering if I could call you in a bit? Xx

Shane – CALL ME ASAP, TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT.

Amy felt bad as she text Karma back saying 'can't busy' before she called Shane who picked up immediately.

"So how was it? Don't leave anything out!" Shane said as soon as he answered.

Amy laughed "Someone sounds eager to hear all about my love life,"

"Amy this isn't funny!" Shane said.

Amy was just getting ready for bed when her phone beeped; Amy opened the new text message.

Karma – Hey Amy, I know you're upset with me and I'm really sorry!

Amy was about to reply because while she was still kind of annoyed with Karma, she hated not speaking to her best friend. She went to reply when another text came through from Reagan.

Reagan – Don't think I can wait until next Friday for date no.2 ):

The text made Amy smile, she'd had such a good time that Karma hadn't crossed her mind and it felt like the time just flew by. Amy replied quickly 'I know ):'.

Amy didn't want to seem too eager but then she didn't want to seem disinterested. She really wasn't made for dating. Amy sat and waited a couple minutes for a reply to come through and when one didn't she started to finish getting ready for bed. When her phone went off. She rushed back to her bed to see what Reagan had said.

Reagan – You got any plans for tomorrow, we could call it an unofficial date (;

Amy responded immediately 'No, definitely no plans!'… okay that might have sounded super eager.

The message came through almost immediately. Reagan – Good. You, me and that show I was telling you about.

Amy smiled, Karma's text completely slipping her mind as she replied 'Looking forward to it'.

Karma sighed as she checked her phone again. Amy hadn't replied to her text yet and while Karma understood this was how most of her texts had been received this past week but how else was she meant to apologize?

When her phone went off she grabbed it immediately only to feel a tinge of disappointment at seeing Liam's text instead of Amy's one.

Karma scrolled through her Facebook to see if she could see how Amy's date went… how else was she meant to know if her best friend was temporarily unhappy with her. Everything seemed fairly normal until she saw a status that almost made her phone slip through her hands.

Reagan Had such a good night with Amy Raudenfeld and what's even better is I don't have to wait until date number 2 to see her! See you tomorrow Amy for our TV show marathon (;

Not only was this Reagan girl gorgeous but it was the likes on the status. Shane (unsurprising really), Amy (to be polite of course), Farrah, Bruce and Lauren. Karma wondered what was going on with Farrah and Bruce.

A/N: Oh so I said in my B99 fic that this would be a one shot... but where's the fun in that? I'm really looking forward to Reagan/Amy!
