Jo and I decided to go to the mall today because we both needed new stuff; me more than her I might add.

"You know it's gonna be Halloween soon," she said as she was going through the racks of clothes at Aeropostles. "And we need to make a big splash this year," she said, finally turning to me and smirking.

"I thought you told me to stop doing that, remember," I quickly retorted, leaning against the wall as I watched her shop, "remember the shoes."

"Yeah," she said, taking her clothes she was getting up to the counter, "but that was because you weren't making the best first impression. People in this town strive on stereotypes, and you were acting like a living one."

"That's because I am one," I said giggling as she faux-glared at me, "I'm about four steps away from hand waves and full blown accent."

"Nope," she said quickly, "You already wave your hands in the air like a train conductor," she whistles at me, forcing me to blush when the attention was back on us. "You gotta stop turning so bright red, Bambi," she continued, "or people might end up thinking were in loooooovvve!"

I blew her a kiss and she slapped it away, "Yeah, the Gay and the Lesbian are just hooking up all the time aren't they," I said sarcastically. "You know it," she said just the same, "I bet they just claim to be that way for attention." We were having a great time laughing and joking as we made our way through the small mall. By the end of our time there, either of us could barely walk from all the stuff we had bought, but we decided to go to the food court anyway. After getting all set up and causing a big scene, I told Jo I would go get her an ice-cream while she went and bought drinks.

"And don't you dear run off with some whore, love," she shouted in a faked Texan accent, "because you know I would miss you so."

"Neither do you, my dear," I responded, the crowd still staring at us with disbelieving eyes. I finally got to the ice-cream stand when I recognized the person in line in front of me.

"Logan," he said as he spun and saw me. The jig was up, I couldn't avoid him any longer and I wasn't ready to talk.

"What do you want," I responded coldly, "You've already forced me to cry in front of everyone. Want to punch me in the face for good measure."

He gave me a shamed look as he turned away and then came back to me, "We really need to talk Logan," it was weird to be called Logan again because I was getting used to Bambi, "I have to explain to you why I did it." That's when Camille came up behind him and kissed him deep on the lips.

"Hey baby," she said, "why are you talking to Bambi here." "I introduced you to him, as my 'closeted best friend,' remember," I stated loudly, " who the hell are you acting for." "We're not acting," Camille said, holding James's arm tight, "he was just confused, curious really, but I helped him come back to normality.

"What's gotten into you Cammy," I said, "I thought we had come to terms with all this crap and we were closer now." "Yeah, we did, before you started to hang out with Lezzy over there," she said cruelly, referring to Jo who was slowly sipping at her Diet Coke, "People around town are talking about You. And Her. And I won't have anyone thinking that I'm gay by association; I've decided to save James from that humiliation," Camille smiled into the last statement, turning to James and kissing him on the nose.

I looked stunned and hurt, "You've been ignoring me since I started school because I hang out with a Lesbian," she nodded and I went on, "cause you think people in this town will think you're a lesbian by knowing her." It was so confusing what was happening; one second besties, next enemies, then besties again and back to square 2, enemies. She continued to nod and I stared in disbelief while James gave the person at the counter their order. "Do you know how ridiculous you sound by saying that," I said, and then she and James walked away, no response what so ever besides the fact that she didn't acknowledge me at all by the end. Like I was some kind of strange animal. And the worst part was, I really thought we were over this already. She seemed so cool after her first outburst. I ordered, flustered, and was a little to rude to the ice-cream guy, but I was pissed. I had come so far with the both of them to only be put back farther. I took the two cones and sat back down with Jo, huffing and puffing in the process.

"So I guess she told you," Joe said, taking a slow lick of the cone, "why everyone has made a huge deal to avoid us." "Yeah," I replied angrily, taking the who length of the top down my mouth and then pulling it out before licking the sides thoroughly. She looked at me and started laughing. "Do you always get so sexual when you're angry Bambi, because it's an interest side of you to see. All innocent and then giving a blow-job to the ice-cream." I rolled my eyes at what she said and slowly licked the top, flicking the tip on my tongue before realizing what I was doing. "I really do that," I said, a mortified expression showed through my face. She laughed harder this time, "When ever you get frustrated in class, you do the same thing. *giggle* With. *giggle* Your.*louder giggle* Pencils!" She said before bursting out laughing again. She tried to talk again, but couldn't and knocked her ice-cream over as she laughed. I acted like I wasn't amused, but I began to laugh with her. "I guess that's why I always feel people's stared on me when I get something wrong," I said, "I thought it was because they just thought I was that smart." She finally composed herself enough to speak again. "I wish you could watch Kendall," she said, starting to giggle again, "He almost creamshispants!" she said in one fast laugh talk before she started to almost fall over again chuckling. I faked laughed with her, but what she said made me think. Kendall had beat the crap out of me my first day, but she was right, I could always feel his stare on my back when I did anything. I always thought it was because he hated me, I never thought about it, that he may have a crush on me. But then something I had blocked out of my mind came back to me. The first day of school, he and Jo saved from those bullies. Why save someone you don't care about. My mind was running in furious circules.

"You okay Bambi," she said hesitantly, "you're just starin …. YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON KENDALL!" she exclaimed into my face as I finally turned and stared at her with huge eyes.

"No, No, that's ridiculous. I told you what he did to me day one. I can't believe you would even think that," I said, doing my best not to bat my eyes, but it was to late. Jo knew me well enough to read me like a book.

"You do, You wanna do Kendall Knight," she said smirking with self satisfaction.

"I want him to do me," I let slip out before my eyes got wider and I threw my hand over my mouth.

"Well I bet you have a chance," she said staring at the side of my face smiling as I stared in another direction, blushing harder than I had in a while, "he's been protecting you like your guardian angel since day 1. He just didn't announce it all the other times."

"Really I said," finally turning back to her, but still not able to directly look her in the eyes, "I might have a shot."

"but I really think we should talk about Halloween now, Bambi," she said as we picked our trash up, threw it away, and got in the car and went home.
