Chapter 2
"How was the queen of mean?" Tracy asked Penny at lunch the next day. Penny didn't know what to say. She was too confused and embarrassed to tell Tracy about the kiss. "She was okay," Penny said softly. "Okay?" You're being too nice tell me the truth."
"There's nothing to tell," Penny said and shrugged. "So you're telling me Amber wasn't mean or anything?" Tracy asked in total disbelief. Amber usually took every oppurtunity to insult them. She used to just insult Tract but since Penny started dating Seaweed she started being cruel to her, too. "She's not that bad," Penny said thinking about how controlling Velma was.
"Not bad? What are you talking about? She's awful! Just the other day she called you a nasty word when she saw you making out with Seaweed. Don't tell me you forgot about that?" Tracy reminded her. How could she forget? She and Seaweed were in the hallway making out when she clearly heard Amber say "checkerboard slut" as she passed by. She knew Amber hadn't changed since then despite what happened last night. She just knew that there were many layers to Amber Von Tussle now. Surely having an awful mom didn't excuse her behavior. After all, she had a terrible mother and she wasn't mean to people but Penny guessed it affected people differently. "Tracy, there are things you don't understand about her." Penny said not offering anymore information. It didn't seem fair to Amber to tell Tracy about how Velma forced her to enter all those pageants. Tracy simply shook her head and said "Just be careful and don't let her stick you with all the work."
"Don't worry I'm not." Penny assured her. The bell ran and they got up to go to their separate classes. On her way to class Penny spotted Seaweed and went to speak to him. "Hi Seaweed!" She said throwing her arms around him and pulling him into a kiss. "Hey there baby. I can't believe this is the first time I've seen you today!" he said and kissed her back. It was always good to see him since she rarely got the chance to. "How did it go with Amber last night?"
"Um…Amber?" She had forgotten all about what happened with Amber for a second. She knew she didn't want him to know about the kiss. What if he got angry and blamed her for some reason? "Yeah what happened? Was she cruel to you?" he asked concerned.
"No, it wasn't so bad." She said "Well that's good." She was glad he wasn't pressuring her like Tracy tried to. If he did, she might have broke down and confessed. "Do you want to meet me at my mom's record show later on today? I'm sure you can think of something to tell your mom." He was right she was getting good at making up things to tell her mom when she went to see him. Just a couple of days ago, she told her mom she joined the student government association and she had a meeting. She couldn't do that today, though. She had to meet Amber at her house to start on their project. She was a little scared to go over Amber's house again but she was sure she could handle it.
"I can't I have to meet Amber again," she said sadly. HE looked disappointed but said "That's okay. Just call me later." She nodded but she knew she couldn't call him for her house. Her mom wouldn't allow it. She'll probably just call him from Amber's she was sure Amber wouldn't mind. Seaweed leaned over and kissed her again. When they pulled back they felt someone looking at them and turned to see Amber standing with Luanne and Shelly. Shelly and Luanne looked shocked but Amber looked hurt. "You never cease to amaze me, Penny" Shelly said
"Yeah, I mean honestly I'd think you would have the dignity to keep your little romance private," Luanne said and then looked at Amber for approval but Amber still looked sad. "Let's just go guys." She said abruptly and walked off. Shelly and Luanne followed her confused. Penny saw Amber looking back with sad eyes. Penny felt guilty even though she had no reason to. Amber kissed him and she didn't lead her to think something would come of it. "I'm surprised she didn't insult us again." Seaweed said but Penny wasn't surprised. She was afraid. It seemed like Amber was actually falling for her!
