"Hey you"
"Go away…I don't want to talk to anybody.."
"Amy, its me Karma."
"Fine. Come in."
"Hey….Amy…I brought you some donuts. There's glazed, chocolate, and your favorite, strawberry cream filled ones. I ate all the sugar covered ones coz I got hungry."
"I don't want any donuts."
"Yeah right, you? not want donuts?"
"No I don't want any."
"Fine I'll eat all of them even if makes me really fat. Then I'll explode all over your room and it will be your fault coz you made me eat them all!"
"Fine give me the strawberry ones."
"Amy, I'm really sorry about your dad."
"Its ok. I guess. Its not like we can do anything about it."
"He loves you though."
"But he left. He left me and he left my mom. You know they're suppose to be soulmates. At least that's what my dad said. You know how they met? They were only 8 years old when my mom kicked him in the shins and stole his bike. She felt bad afterwards and returned it. Even bought him an ice cream. He's been in love with her since then. Is that what love does to friends?"
"I don't know. I guess love makes people go crazy. What do we know about love, we're only 12 years old. But I know one thing for sure. I'll never hurt you like that and I for sure will never leave you."
"I know. And ill never do that to you too. You're my best friend Karma and I never ever want to lose you. So promise me something?"
"As long as it doesn't involve giving up my kidneys or chopping off my legs, I'll do anything for you?"
" Wait, so you wont give up a kidney to save my life?"
"You know how much I hate hospitals. Fine. Only if your life depended on it. What was it that you want me to promise?"
"Promise me that you'll never ever fall in love with me?"
"Oh….ok….. That should be easy enough. Its not like that' s possible. We're both girls in case you forgot."
"Hey you never know. I'm pretty hot."
"Hahahah. Way to praise yourself."
"Ok seriously though I just don't want us to end up like my parents. Friends, to lovers, to husband and wife. Now they're complete strangers. At least, that's one less thing we have to worry about separating us."
"Ok fine. I, Karma Ashcroft, promise to never fall in love with you Amy Raudenfeld"
"Wait we have to write this down so we won't forget. I need a paper. I've got a pen."
"Here's a napkin from your donuts."
"That'll do. And I Amy Raudenfeld, also promise to never fall in love with you Karma Ashcroft. So that we may never hurt each other and that so that we can be together forever and always."
"What if one of us does fall in love with one of us.?"
"Well then we also have to promise never to tell those feelings."
"Ok good….that's shouldn't be so hard.. Sign here."
"Now what?"
"We should frame it."
"We're going to be together forever Amy. No matter what comes between us. I love you. Like a sister ok?"
"I know. I love you too Karma. Forever."
Seven Years Later. Freshmen Year of College.
Karma POV
When you're in college, there's always a party somewhere on campus on a Friday night. Doesn't even matter if you're invited or not. You just go. And you go because you want to get laid. Who doesn't? So I'm sitting here on some dirty fraternity couch eating stale Cheetos and drinking cheap vodka with my friends, Liam and Shane. Oh and Lauren, who simply doesn't have any friends so she likes to tag along with us to parties she doesn't even enjoy.
"This party blows. Why did we come here again?"
And what are we doing? Being a freshmen here at University of Texas, we often go unnoticed. Being a freshmen basically stinks. You're not hot enough to get noticed. Most people think you're still in high school. And if you do get attention, some other hotter person easily steals it from you. College is suppose to be about freedom, sexual exploration, and more freedom.
"Well, Shane it's not like we have anywhere else to be. Its either we go with the Chess Club or the Wiccans' party. This frat party seems like the more normal option." Says my ex-boyfriend Liam.
Even Liam Booker, once declared the most desirable and sexiest boy to ever walk the planet (by planet, I mean Hester High School), constantly gets bypassed for older fraternity guys. So his ego is kinda bruised and broken at the moment. Shane, who's no stranger to dating older college guys has suddenly changed his ways since he almost got beaten up because he was hitting on the starting quarterback of the Longhorns. He's been scared to approach anyone lately. Lauren, whose hardly ever interested in anyone because she's too damn busy being in love with herself, is currently hung up on some mystery guy who got her home safely after accidentally ingesting ecstasy. She didn't even get his name. Not that he probably even cared.
What's my story? What's the reason why I'm bored out of my ass sitting here on a disgusting fraternity couch that I bet has more semen than bacteria on a Friday night? Well, she's standing over there with some hot girl while I watch until it kills me over and over again. I watch while she uses that super sexy green eyes to paralyze her next conquest. I watch while she uses her irresistible and charming smile to make her victim blush. I watch while she uses intelligent conversation mixed with light humor to seal the deal. And I watch while they, at any minute now, either leave hand in hand or head upstairs.
It's hard to get laid or get dates when you're a freshmen except when your Amy Raudenfeld. My once super dorky, shy but sarcastic best friend suddenly developed swag and sex appeal during the summer before freshmen year. Amy definitely develop something that me, Liam, Shane, and Lauren just don't have. Amy can have any girl she wants. Any guy too, not that she's interested. So what's wrong with this picture?
I am crazy, head over heels, madly in love with my best friend Amy Raudenfeld. And she doesn't have a fucking clue. Why can't I tell her? One, she thinks I'm straight. Two, she once made me promise to never fall in love with her. To this day, she still has that napkin with my signature on it on a frame stashed somewhere in her closet. Three, she'll never look at me that way. To her, I'm just her dorky, neurotic, and obnoxious best friend and roommate. How do I even begin to compete with girls like the one she's currently talking to? I can't.
"No freakin way. Na uh.. $5 bucks says she can't. Not Cindy Walters. I tried that last week. She's a senior, president of Kappa Beta Chi. Totally out of our league. No way in hell."
Liam is freakin out about the girl Amy is flirting with. It was the same girl he so confidently tried to hit on and all he got was "You're not in my league" stare. She didn't even have to talk to reject him.
"Well what was it that you said about Margaret Abbott, part-time model for Abercrombie? That she was totally straight and would never go for Amy? But who's bed did she end up on? Yours or Amy's? 5 bucks says Cindy will end up on Amy's bed tonight."
I dared Liam to argue with me. I am a total dumb ass, I know. I secretly pine after my best friend yet I proudly defend her dating skills to anyone who doubts her. Its all part of my cover so no one will notice the ache in my heart each time Amy takes home another girl that is not me.
"Fine, 5 bucks says she only gets a number tonight."
"Sorry bro, I'm with Karma on this one. 5 bucks she goes home with Amy."
"How dare you Shane. You're my best friend! Lauren's with me on this. Right?"
"Oh hell no Booker. I will not participate in anything that is derogatory towards women. And frankly, yours and Amy's constant need to sleep with a different girl each week is quite disgusting already. Even worse is your constant need to prove to Amy that your dick is bigger than hers, even though she doesn't have one!"
This elicits a good laugh from me and Shane. Liam just chokes on his drink.
"Geez, Cooper. Just trying to include you on the conversation since you've been pouting all night. Next time, ill make sure there's no stick up you butt before I talk to you."
"Oh Liam, don't mind her. She's been waiting for mystery dude to show up but looks like he's only interested in damsels in distress. Maybe we should tie you up and hang you from the balcony. Maybe he'll turn up to rescue you."
Shane and Liam's favorite hobby these days was to pick on Lauren until she gets really mad. It's always up to me to diffuse the situation with these three.
"Ughhhh Why do I hang out with you people."
"Lauren, chill. They're just messing with you."
"I'll see you guys back at the apartment!"
"How the hell are we going to get home then Cooper. You drove us here."
"Walk Booker. Its 10 minutes away.!" Lauren angrily gets up from the couch. Its always fun to mess with herbut there's usually a consequence like having to walk home.
"Oh look. She's giving her number to Amy!" I am slightly relieved that all she got was a phone number which means that Amy is going home with me, at least for tonight. Yay! A win for team Karmy.
"Ha! I win. Pay up. That's $5 from you and $5 from you!" Liam is proud to prove his point. I am gladly paying that $5 because going home with Amy is the biggest prize ever.
"Quickly Liam. Hide that shit before Amy's catches us betting on her again."
My best friend struts her sexy self towards us and I can't help but sigh loudly at the sight of this goddess. I feel Shane's eyes on me so I quickly get up to give Amy a high five.
"And that is how you get an extremely hot girl's phone number. Liam, you should learn from the best." I say this out loud while I put my arm around Amy's shoulder. Out of instinct, she puts her hand behind the small of my back, causing me to slightly arch my torso. I fight the urge to make it any more obvious. Since I am wearing a cut-off tee, there's skin on skin contact between my back and her palm. My skin is suddenly burning.
"Karma, are you guys betting on my behalf again? I saw that."
"Well…it's always fun to see if you're going to get the girl."
"What's the bet about anyways?"
"Karma and I said that you'll go home with the girl. But Liam here can't accept the fact that you can get any girl you want. He said that there was no way in hell that Cindy Walters was going home with you."
"Hey I actually changed my bet. I said that Amy will get a phone number. Isn't that why I won."
"Well umm actually, Liam. You lost. Cindy just needs to drive a friend home then I am meeting her at her sorority house next door in 15 minutes."
Ouch….that hurt more than I expected. Oh look, my heart is suddenly on the floor. I look down just to hide the disappointment on my face.
"Ha ha! Booker, give me back my $5 and I'm going to need an extra $5 from your wallet!" Shane demands his money from Liam but I'm too busy trying not to die.
"And guess what, she's got a jacuzzi in her room!"
Ouch again. Seriously, someone kill me now.
"No fucking way. You are my fucking idol Amy Raudenfeld. Teach me your ways!"
Out of instinct, Amy suddenly traces circles behind my back. She's done this a million times before and she probably doesn't even notice she's doing it.
"You ok pretty girl?"
"Yeah I'm just suddenly feeling this Vodka we've been drinking. I think we should head home."
"Awe sweetie, I'm sorry that Vodka's all they had."
She removes her hand from my back brings me in for a hug. For a moment, I am at peace in her arms.
"Yeah. Will you be ok?"
"Of course. Meet me for breakfast?"
"Yeah sure." She lets me go and I suddenly feel very cold.
"Let's go guys we have quite a walk. Lauren lied. Its more like 20 minutes."
"Well that's what you guys get for pissing her off. Next time you want to make her mad, make sure she's not the one driving."
Liam, Shane and I work our way towards the exist when I someone calling out for me.
"Karma wait." It's Amy.
"I forgot something." I tilt my head and blink a few times to show my confusion.
"Huh?"
"I forgot this." She kisses me on the cheek while giving me another tight hug.
"I love you Karma Ashcroft. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Love you too."
She turns around and runs off the other direction. I stand there staring at the empty space in front of me. My hand is currently touching the spot on my cheek where she just kissed me. I didn't notice Liam and Shane watching what just happened.
"Close your eyes, it might help poof her back." I know he notices but Shane will never say anything. He'll wait until I am ready to talk to him.
"You know, I have never noticed how hot you and Amy would be if you got together! That would be so fucking awesome."
Of course, Liam is a different story. He'll open his mouth and say whatever he thinks might be funny.
"Shut up Booker."
What do you guys think? Reviews please.
