Just a short chapter update before a more exciting chapter to come!
Chapter 3: Jodie
"Hello my skanky best friend, where have you been?"
"Ha. Ha. Very funny Jodie. As far as I know you're the skanky best friend. What's this I hear about you and a girl named becca? And in Marissa's parents' room?" Alex retorted.
"Becca's hot," Jodie said matter-of-factly, "the same, however, cannot be said for your choice of partner-in-skank. Michelle?" Jodie said, stifling a laugh.
"I did not know what I was doing and as my best friend, aren't you supposed to save me instead of holing up in a room making out?"
"Trust me, we were doing more than just making out," Jodie said with a smirk and to a look of horror on Alex's face. "But I thought the birthday girl went to your rescue."
"Yeah I just don't know how to face Michelle now. She's going to think I like her or something," Alex moaned as she collapsed onto their couch.
"Maybe you should just get a girlfriend so people like Michelle and Christine would just give up," Jodie commented.
"In case you haven't realized, the girls who like me are all kind of…intense, like Michelle and Christine, so I guess there's no hope of that happening in the near future," Alex said.
"You. Need. A . Girlfriend." Jodie said. "I would gladly volunteer myself for the sacrifice, on account of you being my best friend," Jodie teased.
"No thanks," Alex yawned as she made her way into her room. "I'm pretty sure I would mind if my 'girlfriend' sleeps with a different girl other than me every couple of weeks."
Jodie sighed as she leaned against the bathroom sink, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She wondered how much more of it she could take before she crumbled. The meaningless flings brought but temporary relief and distraction from the blond and each time she sees Alex with another girl it hurts her deeply.
Alex and Jodie have been friends for the longest time and over the years Jodie has started to fall for her best friend. Alex, on the other hand has never had romantic feelings for Jodie and Jodie knew that Alex saw her as a flirt and would never take her seriously. Like Alex with Marissa, Jodie cared too much for their friendship to confess to Alex. She was elated when Alex decided to move in with her and she was afraid that anything she said would ruin everything and make things worse. Right now, she was just glad that she gets to see Alex everyday and hope that one day Alex would like her more than just as a friend.
