Tied

Chapter 2 : The Beginning

Nichole POV

        I walked into school this morning still a lil pissed , but I wasn't really tripping that much anymore . I went to go sit by Shannon . "Wassup nigga ." 

"Wassup ugly ass ."

"Never ugly & you know that ." , I said sussing the fuck outta her . 

"You ugly as fuck to me " , she said laughing .

"Fuck you ."

We were laughing & starting off our morning , but that was soon cut short when Lina approached us . As soon as she sat down & I noticed she wasn't about to speak I got up & went to the basketball courts to shoot around . She walked up to me & said , "So you not gone speak ?"

"Um , you saw me first you shoulda spoke ." 

"I thought you was mad at me , I was scared to ."

"Nah , I'm not mad it's whatever . You my bestfriend just don't do no sneaky shit okay?" , I said in a smile .

She said , "Alright , I won't" & we pulled each other into a hug . I can't stay mad at her especially not over no nigga , it was what it was . Crazy thing is we dated each other's ex's a couple of times . I dated Keenon first , then she dated him way back when me & her didn't get along . One day at the beach I was chilling with her & him & she wasn't that bad . We got along ever since . I used to date this one nigga named T-rex cause this dude looked like a real life dinosaur . His real name was Markey , but because of me T-rex stuck with him . At the time she was dating another dude i nicknamed called BBJ , cause his booty was too big .  His real name was Tommy . I sorta started liking Tommy & she started to like Markey so we switched , who does that right ? Our friendship was crazy . 

But anyway the teachers & administrators called us to get on the bus . Lina & Shannon sat next to me of course . We talked & laughed all the way there , knowing we were about to act a fool in this museum . Something was off about Lina tho . Something just didn't seem right . Me not paying it any mind she grabbed my hand so my instinct was to grab Shannon's hand . We had the best bond , nothing could break us up at the time . We ran all down the aisles , down the stairs & laughed while the videos played . By the time it was time to go something seemed really off . I thought it was Lina at first , but i started to notice it was me too .

My eyes to start to trail & under my breath i said , "Damn..." I don't know what was starting to happen , but then at that moment I realized ...damn I'm attracted to Lina . Why am i attracted to a girl ? But something told me to roll with it so I decided , why not ? On the way back me & Lina were hugged up & i was feeling like i wanted us to be more than friends .

*The Next Day - Saturday*

I woke up this morning with Lina on my mind . I had a million thoughts racing through my head . Should I tell her ? What if I get rejected ? How am I suppose to approach a female with this kinda of information ? How should I tell her ? I then decided I was gonna tell her . I never had a problem telling anybody I liked them before because I never got rejected , so I figured why not ? What's the worst that can happen ? I texted her a usual goodmorning text .

Me - Goodmorning Bestfriend :*

Lina - Goodmorning , how you sleep ?

Me - Good , hbu

Lina - Good & that's good

Me - Aye , um I gotta tell you something , but I'm scared to . 

Lina - Is it bad ?

Me - Nah , I mean depending on how you take it ..

Lina - Juss tell me

Me - I'm really scared , I don't know how ..

Lina - Juss say it , it can't be that bad

Me - Alright , promise it won't come between our friendship ?

Lina - I promise .

Me - I like you .... like a lot . Ever since yesterday you've been on my mind like crazy

.....

Me - See I knew it was a mistake to say anything , juss forget I ever told you .

Lina - No it's not bad because ... I like you too . I've been liking you for the longest 

Me - Really ? Why you ain't never said nothing ?

Lina - I was scared too 

Me - Damn , this is crazy . But alright how about this . We keep this lowkey & we don't go out or nothing cause if we break up I already know it's gone ruin our friendship . Deal ?

Lina - Deal lol

I was at loss for words . I still couldn't believe she liked me . I was hella excited , but I still couldn't figure out why . I never dated a girl or had any specific relations with a girl , so why do i feel this way ? I guess I was juss about to play along with it & see how things play out .
