Part 12: Confident but Nervous

Thursday – Two weeks later

After four weeks of intense soccer training, the school's first soccer game was tonight. Sam, Becky and of course the couple who finally hit off, Jessie and Katie, are absolutely nervous about their game tonight. However they also knew that their chances of winning, was higher than normally, so in a way they were rather confident. But nevertheless, you never know what would happen, and being their first game of the season, of course they would feel a tad bit nervous. I mean who can blame 'em!

As mentioned, Katie and Jessie had finally gotten the sparks flying for two weeks now… Well officially two weeks in just two more days. Though they haven't gone 'public' as in announcing it, they don't mind continuing to hang out with each other. They would do things all friends would do, such as hugging, holding hands, linking arms, sitting on each other's laps. Of course the huge make out sessions are still saved for private moments, and Jess' parents are still in the dark about their daughter's sexual preferences.

Becky is finally catching on – thank god! – I mean you must be blind to not think that, when the two are practically all over each other most of the time – Err… not the sexual way… But yes, Becky did notice, that Jessie and Katie were hanging around a lot, maybe way too much. Being in their close-nit friendship group, she would definitely have contact with them, therefore would feel the vibe of the room change around her, when Jessie and Katie stared straight into each other's eyes. Not to mention, the first words that come out of Jessie's mouth every morning, before she saw Katie that is, was "Have you seen Katie?" or "Is Katie in school yet?"

----------------------------

(Monday – Same week)

Being as bold as anyone can be, Becky asked Jessie during lunch break, when seeing her sitting on Katie's lap chatting away with everyone on the table.

"Jess?" Becky began

"Hmm?" Jessie turned her attention towards her friend.

Then finally she decided to pull Jessie off Katie's lap, trying to not cause much commotion, Katie continued mingling with Sam and Grace. Then Becky finally whispered into her friend's ear without a second of hesitation, "You dating Katie?"

Jessie's eyes shot wide open and turned to look at Becky, "How… How'd you… How'd you find out?"

"Just guessed… I'm not blind you know." Becky said matter-of-factly, not realizing she was actually last to know out of the group.

Jessie finally turned around, after the shock wore off, and said to the other three, "Becky found out…"

"Bout what?" Grace asked.

"Me and Katie," Jessie replied in a hush-hush tone of voice, making sure only the five of them heard.

"Oh," Katie and Sam said as they finally understood what Jessie meant by 'found out'.

"Good, now we don't have to hide as much, at least when hanging around each other," Katie said to Jessie. Jessie only nodded in agreement.

"So, all of you knew, except for me?" Becky asked with a little hurt in her voice.

"Well…" Jessie began, feeling a little guilty for not telling her friend.

"We only knew, 'cause it was us," Grace began pointing to her and Sam, "who hooked 'em up."

"Yeah, if it wasn't for us, Katie would probably still be thinking that Jess is straight, and Jessie would think that Katie didn't like her that way." Sam joined in.

"Oh." Was the simple answer Becky gave, and was smiling already…

'God, it's so easy to make Becky happy again,' the four thought in their heads

-----------------------------

Sarah, Katie's 'ex' is entering the category of 'jealous-ex', though she really was jealous of any girl who got close to Katie ever since their so called 'break up'. Which in fact wasn't much of a break up, because they were never really together in the first place. Sarah just thought that since Katie was always hanging around her all the time that she had a chance… but then Katie at one point couldn't stand her any more, so she slowly drifted apart from Sarah. Therefore causing Sarah to think that they were once together…

Moving along – Tad was the first of friends to find out, he on the other hand was not jealous but was happy for the two, leaving out the 'I think two girls kissing are hot… especially two wonderfully hot girls' bit for himself. Very much appreciated by many, Tad…

Grace still has the photo she took that morning in Jessie's room; she says it's for blackmailing. Of course she is continually supportive of Jess and Katie – I mean, she must… she did help pairing them up. Sam is just Sam, happy for Katie, studying her butt off, loving her sports, hating the sports talk, and of course nervous for their (soccer team) first game of the season.
