It was already time for lunch, and Kitty was getting impatient. Sure, she didn't actually eat lunch, but it was still time to sit down with her protein shake and enjoy a little bit of power and teasing before her next classes began.
Rolling her eyes and huffing, the Head Cheerio stomped her feet to the linoleum floor in indignation. Why was she even still in the Cheerio's changing room? She didn't like Brittany, she didn't even stand her, so why was she staying behind to help her find her lost lizard? It was disgusting and against her bitchy morals. But whatever.
"Have you found it yet?" inquired the Cheerio quite impatiently, moving her right hand to inspect her nails.
"I think it turned into a towel. Can a lizard turn into a towel?" she heard the dizzy blonde ask. Groaning in desperation and rolling her eyes so hard it might even have hurt a little, Kitty lost her patience.
"No it can't!" finally bellowed the shorter blonde, her arms tensing in fury. Was Brittany trying to mess with her?
"But I think it does" came the muffled sing song answer. Feeling her blood start to heat dangerously, the ruthless blonde turned towards the big metallic doors of the room before she did something she would later regret. Brittany was her co captain, after all.
"I'm out of here!" shouted the girl, her high pitched voice contrasting comically with the strength of her statement. Not even waiting for an answer, the girl stormed out of the room, finding a group of jocks surrounding a locker just in front of her. The girl sighed and let her mind recover from the stupid semi conversation with Brittany.
The beautiful blonde smirked lightly, feeling her good mood returning full force at the prospect of humiliating some loser.
Nearing the mass of chromosomally challenged teenagers, the petite blonde cleared her throat, making a couple of heads turn her way. The boys went instantly rigid, and nudged their other mates to alert them of the presence of the HBIC. Lifting her head, the girl's eyes came in contact with the black ones of the Basketball team's leader, who in response, kept his gaze trained on Kitty's. But, unfortunately for the jock, it had been a lost battle even before it began.
Parting his gaze nervously from Kitty's, the tall boy finally smiled boyishly at her; his eyes fixed on her forehead.
"Why don't we let the queen here have a little fun, guys?"
Everyone nodded, too afraid to even mumble a negative. Shrugging, the tall black guy moved out of the Cheerio's way, leaving her face to face with none other than Marley Rose. Her teasing expression turning into a stony one, the blonde girl saw how the brunette straightened herself so that she had a couple inches over the cheerleader.
Raising a perfect eyebrow – which seemed to be an obligatory skill to become Head Cheerio – , Kitty met the taller girl's gaze with her own. The blue eyes were staring back at her with such passion, that the shorter girl saw herself forced to avert her eyes for a millisecond, enough to feel a tiny bit of power slipping away from her. Frowning at the feeling, Kitty put her hands on her hips and balanced her weight in one leg, trying to look as intimidating as possible to the taller girl.
"Well, food bug, how are you today?" asked in a sickeningly sweet voice the short blonde, making Marley blink twice before she could answer.
"I didn't do anything." Her strong but gentle voice made Kitty's smile disappear for a moment, immersed on the feeling of the sound echoing in her skull.
"No one said you did, freak."
The short Cheerio turned her head to the right, fixating the chubby looking jock that had made the last comment with a death glare. The smirk instantly fading from his face, the cheerleader moved her satisfied gaze towards the beautiful brunette once again.
"You have to understand" continued Kitty in a overly sweet voice that made goosebumps erupt on the girl's back. "This is not personal. It's just that you happen to be the daughter of a food serving white whale."
Marley's eyes were filling with tears that she was determined to not let fall, her fists wrapped tightly around her bag's straps, her knuckles turning white.
"You have no right to talk like that about my mother" choked out the taller girl, her voice straining at the end of each word. "You don't know her, or what she's been through." Kitty's eyes softened for a second, not long enough for the brunette's blurry eyes to notice it; the next moment her shoulders were squared and her chin held high, the smirk out of her face.
Looking out the corner of her eye and barely turning her head to the left, Kitty waited for a moment until she knew that the leader of the jocks had his attention on her.
"Go." Was the only thing said by the blonde, not even bothering to crack a smile at the looks of confusion etched on the giant jocks' faces. The group moved quickly, as if suddenly realizing that they were going to miss their lunch – which they probably were. Moving her eyes to connect with Marley's once again, Kitty let her gaze dig into the tall girl's blue eyes, looking for any sign of… she didn't really know what she was looking for. Maybe, just maybe, she wasn't looking for anything.
No, that's stupid.
It wasn't like she was just staring into those gorgeous deep blue eyes for the pleasure of it. That would be weird. And unacceptable.
Marley didn't dare blink.
She was a girl who stood her ground. She was never aggressive or abrasive about things, but she wasn't one to easily intimidate. So it was a disorienting experience to be intimidated by someone who was shorter and smaller than her. And she wasn't even doing anything. She was just there, standing in front of her, her light eyes digging holes into hers, with no apparent reason.
It didn't seem like there was any reason at all.
And before she knew it, she was drowning in her tormentor's beautiful eyes. Her hold on her straps loosened, her eyes widened a bit and her jaw was begging to be hanging off its cringes.
Every rational thought of why's and why not's had evaporated from Kitty's mind, which seemed to be going into overload. She could see the emotion flicking across Marley's eyes, and for an instant she wondered if she could see hers, too. She hoped not.
In that moment, Marley knew, she just knew that Kitty had more to show than she was willing to tell. Blinking a couple times to wash the emotion that had overcame her, the brunette sighed and clenched her jaw; her eyes hardening while she shook her head a little, trying to clean her mind.
Mom.
"Goodbye Kitty." Spoke up Marley, startling the other girl, who wasn't used to hearing that tone of voice coming from the girl in front of her.
Straightening up and tensing her jaw, Kitty narrowed her eyes at the girl, trying to get back all the power and confidence she had lost on those five minutes. Nodding her head slightly, Kitty formed a fake smile and did a mock bow, her eyes only two slits by that moment.
Just when the Cheerio turned her frame to walk towards the cafeteria, a screech was heard, and two seconds later Brittany appeared through the Cheerios locker room's door with a stuffed lizard in her right hand.
"It didn't turn into a towel!"
So...please, review...if you liked it :/ You would make my day, truly :D
