A/N: Thank you all so much for the positive feedback on chapter 1! This chapter is a little longer so I hope you enjoy! x
Later that night, Shane decided to go over to Amy's house to show her a list of potential new girlfriends who he had already spoken to and of course did background checks to confirm that yes, they were definitely gay and not straight. Shane only wanted the best for Amy, and if that was a new girlfriend to stop Amy from thinking about Karma for a while then so be it.
''Girl number one, Emily Richards.'' Shane began, iPad in hand as he stood leaning against Amy's doorframe as Amy sat on her bed, regretting ever agreeing to this. ''She's brunette, she's five seven and get this, she plays softball.'' Shane winked as Amy screwed up her face at his stereotypical comment.
''Let me see.'' Amy stood up, walking over to where Shane was standing as she was shown a picture of girl number one. Not too bad, Amy had never seen her around school before though. ''Does she even go to our school?''
''She goes to Bellville.'' Shane replied, ''her brother is also gay.'' Typical, that's most likely how Shane knows her.
''Who else do you have?'' Amy was curious to who else Shane had lined up, and she didn't want to just settle for the first person she was shown. After forty-five minutes of jumping back and forth between several different girls' Facebook profiles, Amy finally decided on someone. Mia Sawyer, she was in Shane's English class and he had known her since middle school. Amy was still nervous about going out on a date with another girl, the first time that Shane had set her loose in the coffee shop had been a complete and utter disaster, Amy never wanted to relive anything like that ever again. Amy was more relaxed now, and had finally accepted that she might actually be fully gay but she was still working on it.
''I'll text her right now.'' Shane seemed excited as he whipped his phone out from his pocket and shot Mia a quick text. It was only moments later when he got a reply.
''How's 2pm tomorrow at The Grind?'' Shane asked, his eyes only leaving his phone for a second to make brief eye contact with Amy.
''2pm is fine.'' Amy replied, slightly hesitant. The Grind was a newly opened coffee shop in town that everyone had started going to, hopefully there would be no awkward run ins with anyone tomorrow whilst Amy had her date. She shuddered at the word 'date' because it was real, and she was going to be going on a date with a girl who wasn't Karma.
One p.m. rolled around the next day and once again, Shane had made an appearance in Amy's room to help her find something cute to wear, considering the last time she had looked too much like a lesbian, and not even an experienced one, just a little baby dyke. Amy's goal for today was to look hot, but not like she had gone out of her way to look hot.
''Wear your plaid shirt, you know you look good in plaid.'' Shane commented, lying sideways on Amy's bed with his left arm propping his head up.
''Can't you just go on this date for me?'' Amy sighed, rummaging through her closet to find one of her plaid shirts.
''Me? A date? With a girl? Good joke, Amy.'' Shane let out a sarcastic laugh. Amy was not appreciating Shane's sarcasm right now when her stomach was doing three hundred flips per minute and she thought she was going to throw up due to nerves.
''Is it too late to cancel?''
''Yes, it is.'' Shane stood up, walking over to Amy and placing his hands on her shoulders. ''You need to go and meet this hot girl, and get over Karma once and for all.''
Amy knew that he was right, although she wouldn't give him the satisfaction so she nodded and changed into her plaid shirt with jeans because you could never go wrong with a pair of jeans.
''I'll be waiting right here for you when you get back.'' Shane told Amy, pulling out a pile of trashy magazines from Amy's desk drawer before giving her a supportive hug. ''Now go, and have fun and be yourself.''
Amy arrived fifteen minutes early, she didn't know where she was supposed to be meeting Mia so she just headed inside and ordered herself a hot chocolate because she wasn't much of a coffee drinker but she still looked sophisticated having a coffee like beverage in her hand. As the clock got closer and closer to two, she felt herself getting more and more nervous. It didn't help that she jumped every time she saw the door open either. She was thankful that The Grind wasn't too busy, after all it was a Saturday and people would rather be at the mall or outside than spending their day in a coffee shop. Amy's heart raced faster and jumped one more time when the door opened three minutes after two and Amy instantly recognized Mia.
''Shit, what should I do? Should I stand up and shake her hand, hug her?'' Amy's mind was racing a thousand miles an hour as she waved Mia over, an awkward smile on her face as Mia smiled back.
''Hey!'' Mia greeted her as Amy stood up, thinking that it would be rude not to.
''Hi!'' Amy replied, extending her hand as Mia shook it and the pair sat down. Amy suddenly felt underdressed, Mia had come in wearing a nice playsuit and a denim jacket, which reminded Amy of Karma instantly but she shook her best friend from her head.
''Shane has told me so much about you, I mean I know who you are obviously but Shane told me a lot too.'' Mia began; realizing that she had already began to ramble. ''Sorry, I ramble when I'm nervous.''
Amy laughed, thankful that she wasn't the only nervous one here. ''It's okay, so do I.''
''Are you ordering food? Because I'm starving.'' Mia relaxed a little, letting out a small laugh.
''Yeah, what're you ordering?''
Mia decided on a chicken wrap with a mocha – so she was actually sophisticated, whilst Amy decided on a bacon and lettuce sandwich and ordered another hot chocolate considering she had quickly drank her first one.
''Not much of a coffee lover, eh?'' Mia questioned after they had ordered.
''Can't stand the taste.'' Amy screwed up her face slightly, Karma drank it all of the time and Amy didn't know how she could drink it so much.
''I could not live with coffee.'' Mia emphasized on the not part, and her eyes lit up when her mocha was brought to her.
''I'll pass on the whole coffee obsession.''
''I hate to ask.'' Mia began, sipping her coffee and Amy knew exactly who she was going to bring up. ''But what's the deal with you and Karma?''
Letting out a sigh, Amy tried to keep the story short because she had only been asked the question a billion times.
''We just decided to be friends, it wasn't really working out.'' She shrugged.
''And now she's with Liam Booker, a guy?'' Mia raised an eyebrow.
Amy didn't know how to reply to that question and she hated being put on the spot.
''I don't mean to pry, I'm sorry.'' Mia was far too forward at sometimes, something she was working on.
''It's okay, I'm okay with it.''
''Are you really?''
Amy nodded, although it was obvious she was lying and suddenly she had a lump in her throat and wanted to quickly change the subject because she didn't want to think about Karma, or Liam Booker, whilst she was on this date.
''So how come I never see you around school?''
Mia went on to explain how she was actually a Junior and took some classes at the community college nearby and how she was always busy with extracurricular activities outside of school, she was way more interesting than Amy ever would be, which made Amy wonder why Mia had actually agreed to going out with her. After talking for over two hours and eating their sandwiches and having extra coffees (hot chocolate for Amy) the pair of them decided to head their separate ways.
''I had fun.'' Mia told Amy as they walked out of the coffee shop.
''Me too.'' Amy got a little nervous again, the last time she had been out on a date with a girl she had messed it all up so she wouldn't ruin it this time.
''I'll call you, or text?'' Mia offered, she was standing only a short distance from Amy.
Amy nodded, ''that'd be nice.'' And with that, Mia leaned in and gave Amy a quick peck on a cheek and said goodbye as she walked off down the other end of the street. Amy suddenly got butterflies and felt herself smiling like an idiot, she definitely had to get back home and tell Shane. Once she turned her phone back on, she saw that she had a text from him and then she noticed one from Karma, making the butterflies go away and made her feel weak at the knees for Karma once again.
