Chapter 5
Something Unexpected
Timantha walked in the school, and headed towards class. Before she went in she noticed Trixie heading to the bathroom. She stopped and looked at Timantha for a few seconds before she continued walking.
"Trixie, wait!" Timantha shouted.
Trixie didn't stop. She continued until she was inside the girl's restroom. Timantha followed. She walked towards the bathroom in hope of explaining what happened on the bus.
"Trixie, are you in there? Timantha asked.
She leaned closer to the door so she could hear if anyone was in there. A few minutes of silence passed until she decided to return to class. As she started walking away an arm grabbed her and pulled her in.
"Who's there and what do you want from me?" She said as her voice trembled.
"I'm surprised that someone who said that they love me can sound so….cute even when their scared." A voice said from behind Timantha.
She turned around to see Trixie walking towards her. She grabbed Timantha and looked her in the eyes.
"W…what are you doing?"
Trixie leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Timantha could feel Trixie's lips pressing against hers. She felt like she was dreaming. She wrapped her arms around Trixie's neck and Trixie put her arms around Timantha's waist.
After 5 minutes, Trixie let her go than gazed in Timantha's eyes once again, and then smiled.
"Why? Why did you do that?"
"I wanted to let you know that I love you too. What you said to me that day in my room made me really happy.
"I'm glad that you love me Trixie. It really means a lot to me." Timantha said as she held Trixie close to her.
"When you told me to decide wither to have you stay by me or never speak to me again…I just couldn't. Then you were walking out my room. I wanted to stop you, I wanted you to stay with me for the rest of the day, but I couldn't bring myself to say anything."
"I'm sorry I made you feel that way. All I wanted was for you to love me for being me. Not something or someone else. That's all."
"I know, and you have given me so much more than a real friend, you have given me someone special." Trixie said blushing.
Timantha said nothing. She turned away and tried to clear her mind of what was going on.
"If you do'n't want me to love you than I won't." Trixie said letter her go.
'It's not that I don't want you to, it's just …. I always wanted you to love me as Timmy and not as Timantha."
"Don't get me wrong, I love both sides of you. If it's any consolation….i love this look much better."
Timantha just smiled then look to the floor in deep thought. Trixie walked closer to see what was wrong.
"I hope you're not mad"
"I'm not mad, I just want to know why you preffer me as a girl and not as a boy? Is it because of your popularity?" Timantha said confused. Trixie said nothing, but bagged away from her.
"I knew it! You really don't want to be seen with me as a boy huh? Is that what you meant by those words?" Timantha said angrily.
"….No it's not. I just like you better like…."
Before Trixie could continue, Timantha cut her off.
"I guess I was wrong about you huh? I guess being popular really wasn't the reason you were being mean. You really are mean at heart. Here I thought I was trying to do the right thing by coming here, but it's just not fair!" She said crying as she ran out the bathroom.
"Timantha wait, I'm sorry!" Trixie shouted as she chased after her.
When Trixie came out the bathroom, Timantha was nowhere in sight. She wondered where she went, but had no clue.
She sighed then leaned on the wall. She was just trying to show Timantha how much she meant.
"Seems like she misunderstood me, but I had too. It was the only way I could express how much she means to me." She thought. As she began the hunt for Timantha she ran into Cheater.
"Hey, you're the boy who was fighting on the bus."
"My name is Chester! Besides … why do you care?" He said as he walked passed her.
"I care because I saw you fighting over Timantha." She said in a smart voice.
Chester froze at the words she said. He turned around and starred at Trixie's face. "I'll tell you the same thing I told A.J….don't you or anyone else hurt Timantha or her feelings because if you do, I will show no mercy!"
Trixie fell to the floor as she continued to look Chester in the eyes. She could see that he was mad and serious. She waited for him to begin to walk away before getting up.
"Tell me something, what does she mean to you?"
"She reminds me of my best friend. The first time I met her, she was cool, kind, and fun to hang with. She wasn't scared to do boy things or touch dead frogs. I know she was a girlit was weird, but even so…she still hung out with us. I thought she was going to treat us mean and cruel like all the other popular kids did, but instead, she treated us special. Because of her, I felt like I was popular. I felt like there was someone watching over me."
"is that why you fought for her." Trixie said in a low voice.
"Yes it is. See unlike you and the rich kids, she doesn't look down on us, she doesn't say cruel thing to us, for those reasons, I will take down anyone who says something bad about her or does something bad to her." He said as he started walking away.
"Wait! Two more thing, please! She yelled.
"What is it?" He replied.
"Who was the friend you said Timantha reminded you of? And where does she live?"
"She reminds me of my best friend Timmy, although their different people, they treat others the same. I just hope nothing changes Timantha. I hope she stays the same just like Timmy, also…I don't know where she lives but I saw her coming out Timmy's house last time. Try looking for her there." He said with a smile.
Chester continued walking to his class while Trixie began to walk outside the school. She was still shaking as thoughts of what he said continued to float around in her head.
"I have to fix this. No matter what the cost. Timantha went to so much trouble for me….so I can't let things go on like this. Don't worry Timantha, I'm coming." Trixie said as she rushed off to where Timantha was.
