9. Chapter: Old friends and new friends
The part in brackets belongs to Chapter eight!
(Flashback: 2 hours ago at the Baitshop (8pm) (Alex)
I was already for hours in the Bait Shop. I told Ryan that I had to prepare a lot for today and that I had to make the Sound check with the Walkmen. Yeah, how you can imagine that's not true. I'm a fucking liar but I feel bad and I don't really know why, maybe I'm just disappointed because my great friend Marissa kept a secret. What is she thinking? That I don't like her anymore when she decides to be gay? I'm really not that superficial and I'm really hurt that she didn't tell me! …I have to say there is something more. I thought she is in love with me …and not with another girl…but no …that wasn't the reason of my anger! I'm not in love with her either! She is just my old, annoying, secrets having friend! I'm really angry. I mean why didn't she tell me that? As well the girl wasn't as beautiful as me! Why is she in love with her and not with me? That's confusing!
What am I thinking? Maybe I should join in at a bughouse! Slowly it seems for me as if I am manic - depressive because I contradict myself! Kyle looked at me and shook his head: "Alex what's wrong with you?" Only now I realised that I douse myself with vodka. "Oh fuck!" I moaned and put the bottle back to the board. Kyle came to me and looked worried: "Hey Alex I know you don't like to talk about your problems but you know that you always can tell me, don't you?" he smiled at me gently and he was so cute. Hey don't understand it wrong! Kyle is my best male friend. I am working with him since years. I looked at him and smiled: "Yeah, I know Hun' but I don't really know what's wrong with me! If I'll know I'll tell you! … I have to change my top!" I walked to my office and took a shirt of my board, where I always have some tops and shirts. I have to be prepared if something happen! That's a Club! Everything could happen!
Flashback: 1 hour ago at the Baitshop (9pm)
I was again deep in thoughts when somebody came to the bar and sat in front of me: "Hey sexy! Can you give me an Orgasm?" I had Coke in my hand and the bottle almost fall down. "What?" I stuttered looking a little bit shocked at the girl. The girl looked at me and began to laugh. "Hey what's wrong with you?" Jody was laughing her ass off: "You…you should saw your face girl!" she said amused. I got angry: "What do you want to drink?!" Jody looked at me with a huge smile:" I want an Orgasm! You're really hot girl!" she again started to laugh. I got angry: "What a crazy girl!" I mumbled. "Sorry, I'm not interested!" I said and gave her a serious look. Jody smiled at me:"Come on give me a chance! … No don't worry I'm just joking! …don't you know the drink? It's really easy to make! Can I come to you?" I blushed a little bit because I didn't know the drink and she was a little bit intimidating. I just nodded and let her come to me. She said a few fixings and made a drink which looked nice. I took a drink and it was really delicious. "Hmm that's really delicious!" I said with a grin on my face and licked the cream which left on my lips. Jody looked at me and smiled:"Yeah, you're right but a real orgasm is way much better!" I was speechless that girl was really tough! She smiled and looked at me: "You should take the formula on your menu!" I smiled and gave her a pan and paper:"Do you want to give me it?!" Jody smiled cheeky: "Hmm if I get a kiss from you!" I looked at her questioningly: "You mean a kiss on the lips?!" I asked confused. I hoped that this wasn't a crazy joke again. Because then I would embarrass myself again! Jody grinned and came closer to me:"Yeah, a kiss, you know what that is, don't you?!" she said cheeky. I nodded: "Yeah I know …are ..are you guy?!" Jody smiled:"Not really I'm bi sexual!" I was a little bit shocked: "Oh! …me not!" Jody: "It doesn't matter I just want one kiss not more!" she laughed again. I went closer to her and gave her a little kiss. "So are you satisfied? Ehm I don't mean satisfied like …! You know what I mean!" I blushed again. Jody grinned: "You're so cute! Don't worry I know what you mean!" She looked deeply in my eyes and a shiver ran down my spine. Her eyes were really beautiful and her smile too. I recognized a piece of something coming out of her trousers pockets. "Hey what's that?" I asked and took the piece out of her trouser pocket. It was a photo. There was a girl on it with blue eyes and brown hair. It reminded me to someone but I didn't know who it was. Jody took the photo from me and put it again back to its place. "That's Georgina my girlfriend … oh well ...my ex girlfriend!" she said sadly. I looked at her and touched her shoulder: "Do you want me to tell what happened?!" Jody looked to the bottom and shook her head: "No! It's not important anymore… I have to go now, bye!" She went to the exit and disappeared. I looked at the empty paper: "Oh fuck you forgot the formula!" I mumbled to myself. )
Next Morning
At the Harbour School (Marissa) (8am)
Oh hell no! Today is another day in hell! The weekend is over and I have to go to school. The only thing that makes me happy is just that I see Alex again. Yesterday I haven't seen her the whole day. Alex and I decided to take similar courses that we could sit all the time next to each other. I went to the school and parked my car in front of the school at my favourite parking place. I saw Alex car a little bit away from her usual place. Why didn't she park on her place? Whatever! I went to my classroom and opened the door. The boys made noise and the girls gossiped like usual. I walked to my place and sat down. As I saw Alex sitting somewhere else I was shocked. What was that? We never sat apart. Not even when we had argued! Was she angry? That couldn't be true! I didn't make anything! I stood up to walk to her but I felt someone tipping on my shoulder. I turned around and someone hugged me. "Coop I really missed you! How are you? T.J was a lot of fun but it wasn't like it would be with you and Alex!" I grinned at my other best friend: "Suuum you're finally back! I missed you too sweetie! I'm fine thanks and did you danced with sexy Mexicans like you said?" Summer smiled at me and looked exited: "I'll tell you everything…that Mexican boy Juan was amazing! He …" Our annoying English teacher came in and finished our conversation. "Miss Roberts could you please sit down?!" he said with his terrible voice. That voice was really horrible. He had a really high voice for a man. Every Monday we had to hear this voice two hours! Every time if he came into the classroom all pupils which were still asleep startled up. Summer sad down next to me and looked at me: „What happened between you and Alex? You never sit apart!" I looked at her and shrugged my shoulders: "I really don't know then I came into the classroom she sat there! She hasn't even say hello to me! … You know Alex she's angry because of something unimportant and after a while she say what is on her mind!" Summer shook her hand: "No she doesn't show her feelings! Have you forgotten that?!" I looked over to Alex and shook my head:" She always tells me! If not I'll ask her!" "Do you have to do something today?" she asked me hopefully. I gave her an excusing smile and shook my head:"I'm very sorry but I'll meet an old friend! She is pretty shy! I'll introduce you both another time!" Summer smiled and just nodded.
At the Spanish lesson (9.45)
After 2 horrible English lessons I stood up and bid goodbye to Summer because she had another course. I looked out for Alex but I couldn't find her. She hadn't waited for me. I got angry. I didn't know what I did. That was really annoying. I went to the Spanish class and sat down at our place. She again sat at another seat. I stood up and wanted to go to her but the teacher came in. "Miss Cooper, sit down please! We'll start the lesson now!" I got angrier and went to my seat. After a few minutes somebody knocked on the door. Everybody looked at the door and as I saw who it was I freeze. That was that drunken girl that I saw at Georgina's place. Her ex-girlfriend. This couldn't be real! She was dressed a little bit provocative. She was wearing jeans and a belly top. Everyone could see her belly button piercing. She had brown beautiful locks and pretty full lips. Boys and Girls starred at her. Our Spanish Teacher Miss Rodriguez told us that she moved hear since a few days. "Come on Senorita Sanchez tell us something about you!" Jody put her hands in her pockets and looked bored. "My name is Jody Sanchez, I'm from L.A and I like making parties! Who not?" she said and as her eyes found Alex' she began to smile. "My favourite place is the beach and the Bait Shop!" I saw Alex smiling at her and blushing. I got angry she looked all the time sad and now she looks really happy just of course of this girl. Oh my got …what am I thinking! I'm not interested in Alex anymore … I never was! I looked at them both and Alex told Chris to sit somewhere else because she wanted Jody next to her. That was really impolite of her. I looked at Jody and Alex and didn't keep my eyes glued to them. They talked the whole lesson and it looked like they are flirting. I tried to focus on the lesson but it didn't work. I think I was too jealous to do that. She isn't gay and if she is she have to be my girl! … naah I'm in love with Georgina not Alex! I tried to image Georgina's beautiful eyes and her sweet character but every time seeing her I heard laughter from them. "Could you please stop?" I shouted at them and the whole class looked at me. Senorita Rodriguez turned around and looked at me: "Miss Cooper what happened?" I stood up: "It's nothing … I've got headache! Can I go home please?" She nodded: "Miss Kelly could you accompany her!" Alex looked at me and just nodded.
At the car
We went to my car and Alex took my keys. She climbed in and started the car. She didn't say any word to me and I began to worry. I took the keys out of the car. Alex looked at me annoyed and wanted to take the keys back. I didn't give them to her. "What the hell is going on? What have made you so angry? Why do you get out of my way all the time?! Alex, tell me, please!" Alex crossed her arms and looked at me: "Why should I still talk to you?" she talked to me cold. A cold shiver ran down my back and I was scared to lose her. Maybe I had done something that hurt her. I took her hand in mine and looked in her eyes:"Alex, come on what happened?" Alex removed her hand from me: "I saw you!" I looked at her questioningly: "You saw what?" Alex: "I found out you're dirty little secret! Yesterday, at the beach!" she shouted at me. I was shocked, did she mean …oh my god! I wanted to say something but Alex continued shouting at me: "I was so shocked and hurt! Do you think that I'm that superficial… come on tell me! I thought we were best friends! You didn't trust me! You thought that I couldn't keep it private. Do you think that I'm that wrong? ... Didn't I tell you all the time that you can talk to me and that I stick with you? Why didn't you trust me? " tears appeared on her face and her voice changed. Tears appeared on my face. She thought all the happenings were because of my relationship with Georgina. I don't even know if it is a relationship. Yeah, I'm stuck on her but … It's better if she think that I couldn't tell it to her. Alex shouted: "Say something! …how long do you have secrets …and how long are you together?!" "Aalex … it isn't like I wanted a secret! I was afraid … I know you told me to stick with me no matter what happens … but this is something different! You don't know how it feels! Sometimes you feel really great because you have somebody you love next to you … but then you think about those stupid problems which you have with other people. They stare at you … they say bad things! …" Alex looked at me and tears ran down her cheek: "Pscht don't tell me that! I know I'm sorry" she hugged me. I hugged her back and we stood for a while like that. Suddenly someone knocked on Alex side. Alex opened the window and there was this annoying brunette again. She was always there when I didn't want her near. I saw how she smiled at Alex and I didn't like that. "Hey Al I thought you are not gay?" she said cheekily. Alex grinned at her:"We just hugged are you crazy?" Jody laughed: "Sweet … you think that I'm that gullible! Are you at the Bait Shop this evening?" Alex nodded: "Of course I am!" Jody took her hand in hers and grinned sexy to her: "Then I will be there two! See you sexy!" I didn't like this girl she was so strange and I didn't like how she was flirting with Alex. Jody gave her a kiss on her MOUTH! I was pretty shocked. Jody grinned at me:" Hey what's wrong? That was just a little kiss!" Alex was confused and didn't say anything. Jody: "Ok see you, sexy!" she left. I crossed my arms and looked at Alex: "Hey best friend do you have something to tell me? What's going on between you and this strange girl?" Alex blushed and began to stutter: "Wwhat? Nothing! I'm dating your brother! Did you forget that? I'm not became gay because you kissed me!" I looked at her shocked: "What? YOU kissed ME and not the other way around! I never was ….in…love with you!" I had to swallow. Yeah, that wasn't right but I couldn't tell her that I love her and by the way I think that Georgina is the right one for me.
