Chapter 5-Emotions
Amy was eating lunch with her friends in the cafeteria just talking.
"Amy.you're quieter than usual," Raye pointed out, "What happened?"
She was hesitating to tell them. It wasn't that she didn't trust them, but it may not be a big deal to them even thought it was for her.
"Well.you guys know who Zoisite is?" she asked meekly.
"Yeah go on," replied Mina with interest.
"I was waiting for Serena at her locker and Zoisite was a locker away. He dropped one of his books, but I caught it for him. When I thought he was going to get the book back from me, instead he held my hand," she explained.
The four of them giggled.
"I'm sorry this is stupid. I'm making such a big deal, but this was my first time actually having physical contact with a guy. His touch was so." then she stopped when she saw Zoisite going over to sit with his friends which was only a table away.
Zoisite looked up and met her gaze. She blushed and quickly looked down. Zoisite smiled.
"Hello? Earth to Amy!" Raye snapped her fingers in Amy's face.
"Oh sorry," she replied.
"So Amy you like Zoisite now?" Serena teased.
"Aww.Amy's first crush!" Raye, Lita, and Mina joined in.
"I do not like him!" she protested, "Keep it down they're just a table away and they could hear you!"
"Well if you didn't like him.why did you look at him just a few minutes ago and blush?" Lita pointed out.
The four of them giggled again.
"Ok Ok so I did. That doesn't mean I like him," she informed.
"Sure you don't," Mina said with a wink.
When he was just a table away, Amy didn't realize Zoisite was thinking about her, and watching her.
"Zoisite, I don't understand why you're single right now. You can get almost any girl," Jadeite noted.
Kunzite chuckled and pointed at Zan who was staring at Amy.
"It seems he's interested in someone already."
Nephrite punched Zoisite playfully on the arm.
"Oww! What was that for?" Zoisite asked.
"So you would stop staring at Amy," he replied.
"I was not staring at her!" Zoisite exploded.
"Sure you weren't.I think I should let her know that you were," Jadeite said smiling mischievously.
Before Zoisite could stop him Jadeite yelled to the girls at the next table, "Amy! Zoisite Loooovvves you and he wants to-"
Zoisite covered his mouth with his hand, and blurted, "Raye! Jadeite wants you sooo bad and has a lot of nasty dreams about you!"
Jadeite stared at Zoisite with his eyes in shock and glanced to Raye who had a shocked expression on her face as well. They were obviously causing a scene. Serena, Lita, Mina, Darien, Nephrite, and Kunzite were laughing so hard.
"Wouldn't they make adorable couples?" Mina suggested.
"Yup!" Darien, Nephrite, and Kunzite agreed.
Amy, Zoisite, Raye, and Jadeite were very uncomfortable of the situation and remained silent.
"You know Amy was just talking about you Zoisite," Lita said with a teasing smile.
"And Jadeite, we could have sworn that Raye-"
Raye slammed her drink on the table
"Let's go Amy!" Raye said angrily.
Amy and Raye both stormed off out of the cafeteria.
"Look what you did!" Zoisite shouted to Jadeite.
"Well you guys were the ones who teasing us. So it's your fault they left!" he said defensively.
"Sorry" they all apologized.
Meanwhile Amy and Raye were just sitting on the bleachers outside.
"I can't believe what just happened!" Raye said frustrated running her finger through her long hair.
"Same here," Amy muttered, "Be honest with me Raye, you like Jadeite don't you?"
"Yes," she responded flatly, "You feel the same for Zoisite I presume?" She nodded.
" I didn't say I did like him in front of you guys because I know that Mina and Lita would try to get us together."
Raye was confused at Amy's explanation.
"Wouldn't you like that to happen?"
"I don't want to get hurt," she started, "You see.what happened to my Mom when Dad abandoned her, she felt like she could never love again. I don't want that to happen to me either. Plus I barely know Zoisite."
"I know what you mean," Raye replied, "I had my heart broken before when a guy I thought I could have trusted deceived me. He kept leading me on even though he already had a girlfriend. Ever since, I made a vow to myself to never trust men again."
Amy was a bit surprised at Raye's confession. Raye never really opened up that much, or talked about her past. Raye smirked.
"I bet you all thought I just hated men. Honestly I really don't, I just hate that one man who made me feel scared of falling in love again. I'm like you Amy, just afraid."
Raye's violet eyes were filled with sadness.
"Let's make a promise," Amy suggested, "Let's put our fears behind and give men a chance."
Raye raised her eyebrow.
"Give exactly who a chance?"
"Who do you think? You should give Jadeite a chance, you never know what you could be missing," Amy answered.
Raye smiled.
"I suppose I can, but you have to do the same with Zoisite
"Uh.No I don't think so," she replied gently.
"And why not?" Raye questioned.
"Because you actually have a chance with Jadeite and I don't with Zoisite," she stated
"I can't believe you! Amy you're beautiful, smart, and sweet. You totally have a chance with him. You know deep your heart you want to be with him."
The bell rang which meant they had to go to fifth period now. Raye groaned.
"We'll finish this later. You going to the arcade today after school?"
"Nah, I'm going to go swim at the pool," Amy replied.
"Hey let's keep the little emotion conversation about guys between us ok?" Raye suggested.
They said their goodbyes and went to their fifth period classes.
