Chapter One

"If we're faking it, would I be able to do this."

Wait...what?!

Karma was about to ask but then Amy pulled her close and kissed her, squashing whatever she wanted to ask.

What the hell?!

Her eyes widen and she grabbed onto Amy's arms, the only thing keeping her grounded to reality. Because this can't be real, Amy, her best friend, is kissing her. And it was... it was surprisingly exhilarating.

She tried to keep her eyes open, tried to keep her eyes on Amy who had her eyes shut tight but the moment she felt Amy's tongue touch hers,crap, her eyes closed.

She revelled in the feeling of velvety tongue against tongue and couldn't help but wrap her arms around Amy's waist, pulling her closer, something she didn't think was possible. She felt Amy lightly bit her bottom lip and she just melted. How was Amy such a good kisser? And when did she become one without telling her?

It was too much. It felt like baked cookies and puppies all at once but with fireworks and it was becoming too much for her. Too much for what, Karma didn't know but it just was. And as if Amy could hear what she was thinking, she pulled back. Both were struggling to catch their breath.

Her eyes fluttered open and met Amy's, giving her the chance to find out why Amy kissed her. She would always know what Amy was thinking by looking into her eyes. Did Amy like it? Did she think it was gross? Did she-

"wow" Amy said breathily.

She took the words out of Karma's mouth. "I-I know"

What does this mean? Are they a couple now? Does this mean Amy likes her more than a friend? She was about to ask, what it all meant when Amy beat her to it.

"What'd you think?"

What'd she think? She thought it was fucking-

"Do you think they bought it?"

Fake?

She looked away from Amy and was surprised to see the entire student body of Hester High watching them and cheering their liberal hearts out, for them.

And everything came back to her like lightening, Shane's party, Liam, popularity, and being fake lesbians. How did she forget they were faking it?
She turned to Amy and smiled at the confetti that was stuck to her best friend's cheek. How did she not see that there before? And without being conscious of it, she lifted her hand and touched Amy's cheek, brushing off confetti.

How did she not notice touching Amy gave her tingles that travelled from her fingertips to her whole arm?

How did she not know the kiss was fake? That Amy kissed her to make their fake sexuality more believable.

Wow, she can be so stupid sometimes.

It wasn't like Amy was actually in love with her or anything. That sentence tugged oddly at her heart but she brushed it off.

"Totally" Karma finally said.

She put her hands in Amy's hand and like second nature, intertwined their fingers and raised them into the air, causing the school to cheer louder.

"Give it up for Hester's first lesbian Prom Queens" Principal Penelope said confidently, knowing there was no need for the school to vote for them to know who they wanted to elect. She watched the cute couple hold hands and looked into each other's eyes, smiling, and sighed.

Young love.

Karma and Amy sat on the edge of the stage, absently swinging their legs while still holding hands since their first kiss. Karma smiled as she stared at their linked hands. Since their first kiss. Saying it, even in her head, was oddly nice. Their first kiss.

"What are you thinking about?" Amy interrupted her thought.

She heard the gym door shut and the sound echoed throughout the room, signalling that the last few students that hung back had left.

They were the only ones left, in a room with scattered confetti and litter.

"Our kiss" She replied honestly.

She looked at Amy and tried to gauge her reaction but it was the first time that she didn't know what Amy was feeling.

"really?"

"Yeah" She smiled. Something she couldn't stop doing since their first kiss. Kiss. It made her smile even more.

"It was weird wasn't it?" Amy said while brushing dust off the stage with her free hand, keeping her eyes on the task. "I mean, it was like kissing your best friend or something."

Karma laughed. "I am your best friend."

"no I mean, you know, like kissing your sister-weird" Amy shrugged.

"Oh,"

Actually, Karma didn't know. She didn't have a sister so she wouldn't know if that was a bad thing but she tried imagining kissing her brother, Zen, and it gave her shivers. Gross.

Wait, is that how Amy thought of their kiss?

She thought it was nice. She tried comparing it to the kiss she shared with Liam and it was hard to describe. Both kisses were different. Liam's was sweet, maybe because they had a weird art connection before it but either way it was sweet. Amy's kiss was...was hard to describe.

Since their first kiss without even realising it, Karma's smile dropped.

"Well, I thought it was..." she stopped to think of a way to describe it, good? Bad? Fucking amazing?

Amy whipped her head and looked at her expectantly for her answer. Karma couldn't read her, which was frustrating and a first for her. She guessed today was a day for some firsts.

It would make things awkward, wouldn't it? If Karma said she liked it and Amy didn't, it would make things uncomfortable.

She shook her head before continuing. "It was amazing-" she panicked. "h-how everyone believed us. I still can't believe they really think we're lesbians now."

No, she wasn't going to say anything.

It would make things weird. More weird than it already was. Karma didn't notice she was squeezing hard on Amy's hand and didn't notice the odd look Amy gave her way.

She was lying in bed, trying to look past her ceiling. Her body felt like it was on fire and her chest was pounding fast.

She had a dream about Amy, they were making out on her bed and it got heated real fast. It was blurry and she could only remember bits and pieces of her dream but she knew for certain that she and Amy were the starring roles. And surprisingly, she didn't feel disappointed by that, despite that most of her dreams usually starred Ryan gosling.

She closed her eyes and visions from her dream came rushing back. She saw Amy hovering above her, Amy between her legs and Amy's eyes piercing into her own. She remembered tugging Amy close by her shirt and when there was little to no distance left between them, she skimmed her hands under the shirt and loved the way Amy tensed at her touch. A-a-and that's as far as she would let her mind remember her dream.

It was one thing to have a sexy dream about your best friend, because who could blame her, she couldn't stop it even if she wanted to but it's a whole other thing to day dream it because this time she was conscious about it.

Karma sat up and pulled the covers off of her, loving how the cool morning air felt against her warm skin.

Okay, she can admit that kissing Amy was nice but to be honest just kissing was nice to Karma. She liked when someone was kissing her because it meant that someone really likes her. And she really liked being liked. But that doesn't mean she has feelings for Amy, it just meant that kissing is nice and that she wasn't discriminatory between genders about it.

Although, it still doesn't explain why her lips felt tingly after their kiss and why her stomach did somersaults, all things that may have or may not have happened when Liam kissed her. But before she could think about the kiss that started this whole mess, her phone buzzed and Amy's ringtone filled her bedroom.

She quickly reached for her phone and smiled at the dorky photo of Amy that was displayed. She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before answering. "H-hey."

"Oh my god, Karma you won't believe what Lauren did this morning-" Karma smiled gently, talking to Amy made her feel normal. No weird feelings, no kiss, no faking to be lesbians to be popular, just them talking like nothing had changed.

But as Karma listened to Amy go on about Lauren blackmailing her, her heart was racing and without realising it, something had changed.
