Chapter 8: Something New

"Karma I don't exactly consider this something special to do." Amy said as Karma dropped a pile of clothes into Amy's arms.

"I know but we have to get something nice to wear for Shane's party in two weeks. Now that we are officially not a couple it's time to get you hooked up with someone." Karma walked over to the dressing area and as Amy was going into a separate stall Karma grabbed her arm and pushed her into the same stall.

Amy began to get nervous because watching her best friend getting undressed isn't exactly going to help her get over her.

"How do you feel Amy? Isn't it awesome being known as the school's most eligible lesbian?" Karma said as she began taking off her blouse.

"Umm… Not really, the pity looks are beginning to get old." Amy said as she began to unbutton her shirt.

"Come on. You have to admit you came out looking better than both Liam and me. According to Hester, Liam is this douche bag who breaks up soulmates and I look like a cold-hearted manipulative bitch."

They are not exactly lying. Amy thought to herself.

As Karma began to take off her ripped jeans, Amy began to stare at her best friend. She noticed Karma's curves and couldn't take her eyes off of her floral underwear. Amy yearned for the time when she could actually kiss Karma even if it was a publicity stunt.

Amy was staring for too long and she quickly looked away but not before Karma caught her.

"You see Amy. I told you, you'd like this. If you don't like shopping at least you're enjoying the view." Karma said as she winked at Amy.

"Oh my gosh. I'm leaving." Amy said as she put on her blouse.

Amy did not want to go shopping in the first place but now with Karma mocking Amy's unrequited love just made it worse. It hurt even more now that Amy gave Karma her heart and all Karma was doing was making a comedy act out of it.

"Come on Amy. I was just teasing." Karma paused as she looked into her best friends eyes. She noticed there was something wrong, Amy didn't look the same.

"Amy is everything okay? You look different."

"Yeah, I just don't want to be here right now." Amy said as she left Karma behind in the dressing room stall.

…..

Reagan stepped out of the truck with Lisa in a hurry. They were five minutes late to their catering gig and they still haven't picked up coffee and donuts for the crew. It was their turn to pick up snacks this week and Reagan was grateful to have Lisa there because she never felt comfortable wearing her catering uniform alone in public. Reagan wobbled inside the Dunkin Donuts, never feeling comfortable wearing heels at any time.

The coffee shop was busy but that isn't something new. She and Lisa stepped into line.

"Do you know what to order?"

"Yeah, same crap they get every week." Lisa replied.

"Good cause I really need to use the bathroom." Reagan said. As she bounced up and down.

"Go ahead… Leave me here in coffee hell."

Reagan liked how cynical Lisa was. Her hilarious remarks made the job way more bearable.

Reagan made sure to take each step as carefully as possible. Trying to avoid falling and looking like an idiot in public. But as she went inside the restroom she noticed the floor changed texture and as she looked down at her feet. She saw her heel stabbing into a pale foot.

"OWWWWW! What the …. Hey!"

Reagan wasn't sure if her jaw dropped from almost decapitating this girl's foot or if she was just surprised that she'd ever actually see her again.

…

Amy POV

Amy tried to play off the excruciating pain coming from her left foot. The one day she decided to wear sandals and her foot is almost taken off by a high heel.

"I am so sorry. I really didn't mean to do that." The hot DJ said with a surprised look on her face.

"Oh it's nothing. Don't worry about it." Amy said fake laughing.

Amy noticed the DJ smirk.

"You know. I really should stop using public restrooms because every time I do, I usually get injured…. Usually by you." Amy hated how awkward she sounded talking to this girl but kept a smile on her face anyway.

"Sorry about that bump I gave you last time but it doesn't show on your head anymore and I am kind of clumsy but at least I'm not the only one. I think you got some shirt on your coffee." The DJ said pointing to the enormous coffee stain Amy had on her shirt.

"Huh?" Amy looked down and completely forgot about the stain Karma had put there three minutes ago.

"Oh yeah. My friend was reaching for some napkins and spilled my coffee all over me."

"Looks like it was ice coffee too." The DJ said smirking at the girl.

Amy looked down once again and this time noticed her nipples protruding through her shirt like spikes. She quickly covered her chest and began to blush.

"It was an ice latte actually. Anyway I never got your name."

"It's Reagan, what about you nips?"

"Oh my gosh, please don't start calling me that. My name is Amy by the way."

"Not until I come up with a better alternative nickname and nice to officially meet you Amy or I prefer Nips." Reagan said with a wink.

"Whatever ReaGAY!" Amy replied, proud that she could come up with that nickname.

"Clever. Can I get your number? It kind of got smeared the first time you gave it to me." Reagan handed Amy her phone.

"Oh yeah. Definitely." Amy put her number in Reagan's phone making sure to name the contact Amy instead of Nips.

"I have to go, my friend is still waiting for me out there." Amy began to limp her way out of the restroom.

"Are you sure you are okay? Do you need crutches? Maybe we could get a good deal down at the hospital, come in with a broken foot and get your head examined for free." Reagan called out to her.

"Shut up! Those were all your fault anyway. I need to stay away from you, you're the reason my health insurance is going up" Amy replied jokingly, her mood a thousand times better today even with a bruised foot.

She limped back to the table her and Karma were sitting at. Karma was on her phone and didn't notice Amy till she sat down.

"Amy I'm really sorry about everything that happened today. I bought you donuts, I hope you can forgive me."

"Yeah it's okay." Amy responded as she saw Reagan leave with a woman caring cups of coffee and a box of donuts.

She waved to Reagan and Reagan waved back dropping a coffee in the process.

Reagan squatted down quickly with the face of 'Thank God this didn't spill", picked up the coffee, and gave Amy one more wink before stepping inside the truck and taking off.
