Tracy couldn't stand to even look at her anymore. She has done everything in her power to actually be friends with the girl and all she did was make her life a living nightmare. Well no more. Tracy was not going to let Amber Von Tussle be the sadness in her life.
"You know what Amber. I actually really feel sorry for you. I think you are so upset about how unhappy you are in your life that you want to make other peoples lives miserable. You want to blame everyone else for all the bad things that happened to you. And you do everything you can to make people believe that they are beneath you and that you are so much better than them. So I guess I am sorry that I have to tell you that is not going to work anymore. There is nothing you can do to make me unhappy right now. Everything is perfect in my life. And it is only going to get better. I really do hope that you find something or someone in your life to make you finally happy." She smiled as her and Link walked arm and arm down the hall to their next class.
"She really didn't just say that to me." Amber screamed loudly through frustration and anger down the empty hallway. Everyone was already in class . "There is no way that I am going to let that great white whale get anything. Link is my boyfriend and he belongs with me. You hear that Tracy. We belong together. Just you wait Tracy Turnblad, you are going to know what real pain is." She mustered out finally making her way to class.
This day could not have gone any slower. Soon it would be lunch time and she would be back with Link for the rest of the day. She sat in chemistry class tapping her feet on the floor and thinking about what she was going to do after school. She knew that she had the first taping of the Corny Collins show after the integration. Inez was going to be the lead dancer and she was so looking forward to seeing how much everyone was going to enjoy Inez's dancing. But after that she had no idea. Maybe she would spend some time with Link or maybe she would just go home. It was crazy for her to imagine that she was really with Link Larkin. " Ahhh definitely time with Link. "Liiiiiiiiiiink." She giggled to herself as the bell rang.
Amber spent the entire afternoon thinking of the best plan of attack against Tracy. There was no way she was going to let that nobody talk like that and there was surely no way she was going to let Tracy Turnblad steal Link from her. Didn' she realize that she was Amber Von Tussle and she always got her way. She smiled as she saw Link walking out of the classroom to his locker. "Link baby. Do you think that we can talk?" She walked up to him.
"Amber look, you said everything that you needed to and so did I. After everything that happened. After everything you guys have done. After how much you hurt Trace. How could you be so cruel." He sighed a bit as he tried to avoid talking to her but it wouldn't work. It never did with Amber. "I am sorry things didn't go on the way you wanted them to but I am with Tracy and i love her. " He nodded.
Those simple words made her sick to her stomach and she wanted nothing more to roll her eyes and throw up whatever it was she had for lunch that day but stopped herself. He never once used the word love with her even though they had been together for quite some time. The fact that another girl could take over his heart that quickly made Amber sick.
"If you love her so much then how come you haven't told her yet." She spoke softly not sure if he heard her comments. Hearing him say the he loved her affirmed her reason fir why she was doing this. If she couldn't have him then she was going to make sure that Tracy did not have him either. "Link I am so sorry for everything that happened to us. You mean so much to me and watching you go out there last night. And kiss her. Her. ." She stopped herself as she lead him over to the corner. There corner. It was the stop that they wold stop and steal a quick kiss before classes. "Of all people Link. Her. I am come on she is so... below us. I just don't get it baby. " she pressed her hands against his chest.
Link was oblivious to where they had ended up at and he was furious for the words coming out of her mouth. If Amber was trying to plead her case she was certaily doing a horrible job. "Stop calling me baby " He snapped before slidding her hands from his chest. "And what don't get what Amber? That I want to be with her. That I actually enjoy spending time with her. That she actually makes me smile and makes me happy. And for that last time I love her." He sighed shaking his head. "I don't even know why I talk to you. After everything you and your mom did last night. I knew there was something about you I just didn't fully realize it until now." he slowly shook his head and started walking away.
Amber looked at him and grabbed his arm. "Link wait. " the opportunity was there. The timing was right. The bell would be ringing shortly and Tracy would be coming out the door. Right in of them. "Please listen to me. Please " clinging onto his arm.
"No Amber. Enough. I told you I am done. " he managed to spit out as the bell rang.
This was her chance and she was going to take it. Catching him off guard , as he tried to walk away, she grabbed him and pulled him in a deep kiss.
Walking out the classroom door she was on cloud nine. That was until she seen the public display of affection right in front of her eyes. Tracy was in shock. He was there right in front of her kissing his ex-girlfriend Amber. Her hands locked in his hair, his class ring laced tightly around her finger. The soft murmur coming from her lip. How could he do this to her? Tracy was so hurt her eyes start to well up with tears.
Amber saw the look on Tracy face as she rubbed the lip stick from Links lips. "Holy Moly baby. That was better than I could have ever imagined. Guess you were right when you said you missed me." Amber spoke up before he said anything.
Link went to speak but he heard the loud gasp and the books falling down to the floor. Looking in horror he turned to see her standing there tears streaming down her beautiful face. The entire school now looking at the scene "Trace god no.. this isn't... I swear." He looked at her running over.
Stepping back for him Tracy watched him as more tears coming from her eyes. As she was watching the scene taking place in front of her there was nothing she could say. For the first time since this entire thing started and hit her like a ton of bricks. He said those words once before to her those feelings came rushing back. Shaking her head sadly she turned away from him, without a word and headed out of the school door.
