It was awkward between the two girls. Deena didn't talk to her the next day, the day after that, or the day after that day. Soon weeks passed turning into a month. Sam didn't know what to make of it.
Sam stopped hanging out with the group, she didn't talk to them in the hallways or look in their direction during classes. The only time she made contact with them was when she was on the field.
Sam noticed the figure that would always sit on the bench during cheer practices. She knew it was Deena. The girl would wait for Kate in order to take her home after practices.
Today though, today was a different day. During practice Sam had noticed Kate's mood, she was pissed. The way she yelled instructions to the team during practice gave it away.
Sam was the last one in the locker room at the end of practice. She never like to get changed in front of anyone, she would wait for everyone to leave and then get changed. It worked for her.
Sam was walking out of the locker room when she saw Kate walking to Deena. "Deena Johnson!" The blonde didn't mean to eavesdrop but she was curious.
"Kate you did great at practice, give me a big one." The brunette held her arms open for a hug. She didn't expect Kate's knuckles to collide with her face.
The girl let out an a noise as she clutched her nose. Sam winced from the side. 'Shit that's got to hurt.'
"Fuck! What was that for?" Deena questioned, wiping away the blood that dripped from her nose.
"It's been a month, a month." Kate started.
Deena raised her brow, "A month of what?"
"A month since your dumbass decided to be a dumbass." She responded rolling her eyes.
Deena rolled her eyes a smile playing on her face, "You just called me a dumbass, how can I be one if I'm already one?"
Kate slapped her arm, "Stop being a smartass-"
Deena interrupted her before she could finish, "How can I be a smartass if I'm a dumbass?" She taunted. Kate's knuckles collided with her face again. "Ow, fuck! That hurt!"
"Of course it's going to hurt dumbass." Kate rose a hand before Deena could reply with a witty remark, "Shut the hell up before I punch you again." Deena sighed in defeat, nodding her head.
"Great, now go talk to the other dumbass and apologize."
Deena stared at her in confusion, "You?"
Kate gasped and slapped her yet again, "No, not me you dumbass!"
Deena scoffed, "If you would stop saying dumbass, dumbass, then maybe I would know who you were talking about."
Kate hit her again, "I meant Sam, why am I even friends with you?" Kate asked no one in particular.
Deena whined rubbing her arm, "Stop hitting me you bitch. I don't need to apologize to Sam, I didn't do anything."
Kate slapped her forehead hard, "I am so fucking done with you. Just go talk to Sam before we all lose our brain cells."
"What brain cells?" The brunette retorted just barely dodging Kate's hand.
"Sam's in the locker room where you guys kissed. Go talk to her. Watching you mope around cause your dumbass decided to ignore her is getting annoying." Kate laughed adding on, "Plus it's been a month and I miss her more than I would miss you if you died."
Deena scoffed crossing her arms, "One we didn't kiss, two I'm not ignoring her I'm just having a silent conversation with her, three that's cruel." Kate shrugged in response and left the field.
"I'll see you at your car!" She shouted. Deena sighed and headed to the locker room. Sam squeaked when she saw Deena heading her way. She didn't hear much of the conversation between the two but she could only assume it wasn't good.
Deena's feet dragged as she scowled. Her shoulders were slumped and a bag was swung over one of them. The blonde girl didn't stick around long enough to fully observe her.
She walked quickly to get away from the brunette. Unfortunately Sam didn't make it out of Deena's view in time. "Sam!"
The blonde froze in her spot, turning around slowly. "H-hey." She chuckled nervously.
"About the uh, the other d-" The brunette started.
"I think you mean month." Sam corrected.
"I guess." Deena shrugged not knowing what to say.
Sam rolled her eyes, "How hard did Kate punch you?"
Deena rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly, "You saw that?"
Sam nodded, "Yeah, she punched you twice and then slapped you as well."
Deena laughed, "Actually she punched me three times. Ironically in the exact same spot." She pointed to her nose which was still bleeding, the area was red and starting to bruise.
"Are you okay?" Sam didn't mean to ask but she genuinely wanted to know.
"Yeah it's just a little sore." Deena gazed to the side of the blonde as she spoke her next words, "Kate wanted me to apologize to you."
"Of course, after all you can't apologize without someone having to tell you to." Sam accused a frown forming on her face.
"What's that suppose to mean." The brunette snarked.
"It means exactly as the words say they do!" Sam yelled. Her hands shaking in anger. "You won't apologize unless someone tells you to. It's pathetic."
"No, you know what's pathetic, the fact that you've been avoiding us for an entire month." Deena was enraged, everything has been out of order since the blonde moved here.
"I tried to to talk to you but you walked away like you always do when you fuck something up." Sam seethed walking away, she didn't want to deal with this right now.
Deena grabbed Sam's wrist harshly, "Don't you dare walk away!"
"Let go of me." Sam whispered but Deena didn't listen. "I said let go!" Sam pulled her hand out of Deena's grasp. Her wrist was still swollen from when Peter grabbed her. The blonde had been surprised when it still hadn't healed.
"You don't just get to accuse me of something and leave." Deena argued throwing her hands up in the air.
Sam scoffed, tears pricking her eyes. "You're just like Peter."
The brunette softened looking at Sam in confusion, "Who's Peter?"
"No one." Sam grumbled.
"Sam." Deena warned, "Who's Peter?"
Sam rolled her eyes and turned back around. Deena grabbed her again but this time it was softer. "Sam, who's Peter?" It was the same question but there was something about it this time. Something that compelled Sam to answer.
