Sorry I haven't updated in forever, I've been really busy. I will definelty do a chapter a day until it's done (also cause I'm going on vacation. Thanks to all for their kind reviews and please continue to do so!
As I watched Jimmy and Ellie get to know each other better I felt a little sad, I mean, I've had a pretty tough year. I beat up Joey, drove Ash to England, and now I'm on ten pills a day and everyone walks on eggshells around me. I'm just looking for a little companionship is all. I decided to walk around the school for a while, seeing as I'm sure Jimmy wouldn't appreciate it if I kind of whistled in the back round while he stuck his tongue down Ellie's throat.
I decided to visit Jay and Emma. As much as I missed having a girl in my life, Alex and Paige were like the postal children for Midol; with Paige bitching about how the temperature in the room wasn't just right and Alex yelling at anyone who breathed too loud. I entered Jay and Emma's room, "Guess who's hooking up in room –" and then gasped. Emma was sitting in Jay's lap, his hand on her back and holy shit! The school's resident do-gooder and drug dealer/computer stealer/no respect for anyone guy were making out! I stood gaping, God is there something in the water! when Jay detached his mouth from Emma's and said,
"Do you mind? We're kind of busy, in case you didn't notice."
"Sorry man, I didn't mean – "
"It's okay," Emma smiled, "Why did you come barging in here anyway?"
"Well I was a little bored and couldn't really go back into the room because Jimmy and Ellie were..um..getting to know each other a little better."
"Holy shit," Jay said, finally looking like he didn't want to kill me. "Sporto and goth? What a combination."
"I guess today is full of interesting pairings," I said, still shocked at what my not-so-virgin eyes had just seen. "Listen, I guess I should leave you two to uhh doing whatever you - "
"No," Emma said, getting up. "Let's go get the other delinquents. There's something I want you all to see." Jay got up, smirking and followed her, and I did as well, though trying to figure out if there was some hallucination side effect of my meds.
Meanwhile, in the girls' bathroom. Paige and I were kissing, sweet soft, gentle kisses. Jay's kisses were rough and smothering and although I enjoyed them at the time, they were nothing like this. Suddenly, Paige pulled back, looking panicked.
"Is everything okay?" I asked, looking at her deep brown eyes, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Not you, hun" she answered, "But I did. I mean, I'm Paige, the head cheerleader, I love nonfat chai lattes and paying two hundred dollars for a pair of jeans and you – " She paused for a second and I realized that I had been holding my breath. And then Ms. Kwan entered.
"Paige, Alex, It looks like whatever you two were dealing with is over. Due to the others' inability to follow directions, Mr. Raditch decided to separate all of you. You two will be in this classroom," she lead us to a small, quiet room that looked like it hadn't been used in ages, with only four desks. "I trust you two will be quiet and take this opportunity to reflect on what you have done." She left, shutting the door oh-so-quietly behind her, like the WASP she is.
"What's this room for," I wondered aloud, plopping onto a desk, "Raditch's torture sessions?" I motioned for her to come sit next to me, but she didn't.
"Like, I was saying Alex, this was fun and all. But, I'm not a, you know, a lesbian. Spinner, Mr. O. I wasn't just trying out a phase with them."
"So what was I, Paige?" I got up and walked to the window. "A pity kiss? A kiss so that you could attract guys by telling them you've kissed a girl? Did you use me? And I'm not a lesbian either. Jay, hello? I dated him for three years, and he wasn't a cover-up. I really liked him and I really like you." I turned to look at her
"I know," she looked pained, "It's just that…what exactly are we doing here? We had one kiss, and while it was a great kiss, a really great kiss, what do you expect? For us to be dating now? Can you imagine me, with Amy and Towerz, as you guys go and steal a car, and can you imagine yourself with Hazel and I, drinking four dollar lattes at Starbucks? I'm not bisexual, I'm not going to have a relationship with you."
"Oh I get it now," I said bitterly and I turned away so she wouldn't see a tear fall down my cheek. "You're embarrassed, you're afraid of what people will think of you when they hear you like girls, and when they see you with me. You care more about what others think of you, than how you feel about me. And you know what that makes you Paige? The bitch that everyone says you are and a big, fat coward." I waited for some rebuttal, some of her world famous attitude. There was so much tension in the room I wanted to get some air, to jump out of that window and go home into bed and never get out. Suddenly, Craig opened the door, followed by Jay and Emma (who were holding hands. Wait, what the hell! That's one helluva rebound)
"Come on guys?" he said, smiling, oblivious to our faces "Let's go on a little adventure
