So I fixed my mistakes and grammar errors last chapter, or at least tried to. I am deliberately making it slow because I want to be able to write along with season 2 but add my own twists to fit my plot.
Amy's POV
After the little incident in the hallway, Soleil and I walk in silence to the cafe that is near my house, that is about three blocks away. When we get there, we order our coffee for the hangovers, and I get two donuts while Soleil gets a scone and bagel. Once we get our order, we go and sit at a table that is in the back corner away from the windows and sun.
"So... what are we going to do?" Soleil asks, breaking the silence. "I... I don't know." I confess, "How about we try to see how a friendship works?" "You actually want to try to be friends? I'm not saying I don't want to be friends with you, I do, it's just that I'm surprised you would want to with everything going on right now to you. This would add a lot more weight on your shoulders." She replies. I think about what she said, and while it makes sense, I feel it wouldn't really add more stress on me, but help me ease some of it since, considering what happened, I feel I can tell her everything. Yesterday she found out Karma and I were faking being lesbians, instead of confronting me with it or threatening to tell everyone, she sympathized with me. I know she won't tell anyone anything she heard. "I'm sure. You had the opportunity to get back at Karma for stealing Liam, but instead sympathized with me. Not everyone would do that." I say trying to ignore the clenching of my heart when I stated that Karma stole Liam. "Of course I'm not going to tell anyone. It's not my secret, so I have no right to tell anyone. Plus it wouldn't just affect Karma, it would affect you, Shane, and Liam. I also want to see where this friendship will go also, so yes how about we start with that and go with the flow" she says. I nod feeling a smile spread on my face. "Great!" I say, "but what do we do tomorrow at school I'm only excused for today. Wait... are you even going to school tomorrow?" I ask since I know she does independent study. She gives me a sheepish smile and says "About that... I'm going to start going to regular classes tomorrow. Today was my last independent study day. My parents want me to keep at least A's and B's but I got three C's last quarter, so they're making me go back to regular classes." My eyebrows shoot up in surprise since I'm pretty sure she's really smart, but then remember how her parents are from the few times I've seen them and ask "What classes did you get C's in?" "I got a C in science - which is my worst subject - and a C in history since most of the assignments and tests were on memorizing dates and I got a lot mixed up." she explains. "Well what's your schedule? Maybe we have some classes together." I say. "For 1st period I have history with Mr. Greene, 2nd I have Creative Writing with Mrs, Smith, 3rd I have English Honors with Mr. Carlson, 4th I have Gym, Lunch, 5th I have Pre-Calc with Mr. Bishop, 6th I am a tutor-aide for Pearson, and 7th I have Chemistry with Mr. Mendez." She says, and this makes my eyes widen since I realize, "We have every class together." I explain in an astonished voice. "Really?!" She asks and I nod in response. "And how many of those are with Karma?" She asks making me smile sheepishly as she had earlier. "Five and lunch." I say, and she rolls her eyes in irritation. "... Let's go back to your house." she says trying to change the subject before saying with relief "At least tomorrow is Friday." making me nod in agreement.
As I turn to push my chair in, I hear Soleil gasp from behind me. Just as I'm about to turn around, one of Soleil's hands stops me by grabbing my shoulder and the other gently touches my back making me hiss out in pain. I turn my head to face her with a confused look on my face. "What happened to my back?" I ask. She seems to hesitate and starts blushing, making me even more confused, before finally answering "I kinda scratched you a little too deep last night and it's bleeding. I soaked through your shirt." My eyes widen and I feel a blush come up from my neck and spread onto my cheeks, "Oh, I didn't even notice that" I say in a slightly higher tone because of the embarrassment. "Let's go" I say trying to hurry up so that I can get home and change my shirt.
"I have to go, my parents want me home." Soleil says at around 4. All we did, when we got back to my house, was watch some movies. After I changed, of course. Well Soleil did, all I could do was think about Karma, and that I have to see her tomorrow at school. Lauren was no where to be seen and my mom and Bruce left late last night to go on their honeymoon. "Okay, let me walk you out" I say as I stand up and follow her to the door. When we get to the door, I see her car is parked in front of my next-door neighbors. "Do you want me to come pick you up tomorrow, we don't live that far from each other. I know you ride the bus with Karma and I'm pretty sure you don't really feel like talking yet." She offers. "Yeah sure that'd be great. I was going to ask Lauren for a ride but after the incident this morning I don't think she wants to spend a lot of time with me right now, not that she ever did." I say rolling my eyes as I say the last part. This causes her to giggle and she then says good-bye and heads to her car.
I head inside, lay down, set an alarm for tomorrow, and go to sleep dreading tomorrow.
Karma's POV
After crying myself to sleep last night, I wake feeling just as bad. How could I not see Amy's feelings for me? It was all glaringly obvious: the lingering stares, the nervousness, and the hiding things. Amy was never really good at hiding her feelings, at least not to me. This realization makes me want to slap myself because I really should have noticed it before. She can't hide her feelings, not from me, and I actually let myself think she was just acting and being a good friend. Faking it for me, to do me a favor. Was I really that blind?
Not really wanting to think about this I turn on my Netflix and try to find something that will distract me. It didn't really go as planned. I ended up watching documentaries and shows that I never really liked, but that Amy did so that I could feel closer to her. I tried to watch show that I like, but that Amy didn't, and that didn't work because there wasn't a warm body leaning into me, bored out of their minds but not saying anything about it, and eventually falling asleep on my shoulder. Everything reminds me of her. I know I should also be sad about Liam too, and I am, but it's so little compared to how sad I feel about Amy. I can't believe I was so selfish and told Amy I slept with Liam like that. I still see heartbreak pass through her every time I close my eyes. I still see her storm past me, feel the breeze as she passed me, and feel like a complete idiot for not going after her. No, I just stood there crying and then went to go look for Liam. How did he even find out anyway?
I look over at the clock and see that it's 10 p.m. so I decide to try to go to sleep. As I feel the exhaustion start to make me fall asleep, my last conscious thought is that I'm not going to lose Amy. I can't I wouldn't be me without her. I need her
I am going to try to update in about 2 or 3 days. So leave me your reviews about what you think of it so far.
