The Distance

~ Chapter II : part 4 ~

Cybil's POV

I really look at Iris differently now that she told me her story, I knew that somewhere deep inside that rich suit that she's wearing had some feelings or emotions of some kind instead of being a robot throughout the school day. As soon as she got up and had been hovering over me, my cheeks glow a soft pink since Iris was close to me and yet it has been the third time that she has been for her first day of school which really kept me questioning what she was into, gender wise. "And that's the sad story about the popular girl, Iris Walker." She says before almost walking away but I didn't let her do it, I quickly grabbed her wrist and look at her with a sad look in my eyes, thinking to myself, 'Damn I really am over my head to suddenly stop her from walking away from me.. but I can't let her go off like this didn't happen.' She slowly looks back at me and I knew she was gonna be angry but this time she actually didn't have a pissed off look, it was a melancholy look on her face but she yanks her wrist away from my grasp but I grabbed her wrist again. "Stop! I know how it feels to lose someone you were close to!... I lost my best friend due to cancer! And I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye!" I shout to her even though my voice starts to crack, tears start to form, I couldn't bare to hold back my emotions any longer because I know she was struggling with her rich life. She gets angry and grabs me by the throat again, slamming me back down hard onto the bed, as I yelp in pain from how rough she was being with me, "I don't want your sob story and I don't want to be your friend... I am perfectly fine without anyone's help and this is how I have to deal with my life." She says sternly at me but groans in pain, holding her side where the bandages are as she pulls away, tears roll down her cheeks and I caught a glimpse of it for sure.

The silence kicks in as we were both in tears but Iris took a seat down right next to me and let out a sigh, wiping her tears away, "Just seeing you have a friend and smiling made me angry, envious, even upset because I use to be happy when I was younger until things have changed.." she says and look down onto the floor and fumbles with her skirt. I sit up as I look at Iris and slowly try to move my hand so I could hold her hand but she pulled her hand away, feeling uncomfortable then ask me, "Uh why you want to hold my hand after me almost killing you and hurting you?.." she ask me in a soft voice this time instead of yelling at me like earlier. I coward away really which and cover my chest up with the covers as I look away, "I-I'm sorry.. I just thought... maybe you'd actually want to hold my hand or have a hug because I usually hug people whenever they're upset or going through things." I fumble with my hands and glance back at her hands again, wanting to hold them as a sense of comfort. She scoffs, "Well I'm not sure if you want a rich popular girl as a friend but also who won the match since now you're the loser.." she chuckles and looks back at me with a small grin on her face but her comment did make me upset again as I clench the sheets, making a fist. "You still don't even care at all of me.. just the thought of being popular and winning is what you want... I can't even believe I try to comfort you, hell you made up that damn story to set it up!" I glare at her and tears start to form in my eyes, feeling my heart sting from hearing her horrible comment about the match earlier.

"What the literal fuck Rose?! I didn't make that shit up alright! That is the absolute truth and maybe I shouldn't have told you because I knew you wouldn't believe me since I'm some perfect girl to you and everyone in this academy!" She starts to yell at me and the tears form again as she grabs me by the shirt, pinning me down on the bed once again while she showers my face with her hot-boiling tears from how angry she is now. She starts slamming my upper half repeatedly and straddle my hips, "You're nothing but a horrible, low level bitch who shouldn't even be here and I will destroy you right here and right now." She growls as she raises her fist up, about to punch me in the face again but I stopped her by ramming my lips onto hers and that made her eyes widen from that sudden surprise that she pulls away. My heart was practically racing and I felt like I really regretted what I just did now, I didn't have any other choice because she pinned me down good so I was vulnerable under her like a fox trapping a bunny under it and kissing her was my only option. "Why the hell you kissed me you slut?!" She says and gets off of me but I didn't stop, I start kissing her once again as she tries to pull away and I took the opportunity to pin her down on the bed instead since I really didn't want her to leave when I wanted to spend time with Iris after hearing her sob story. She tries to get out from under me but I gripped onto her wrists with all my strength and made sure her legs were also pinned down as well as I continue to kiss her but it was gentle this time just to show that I care about her even though I should show it by a hug instead of a kiss.

Iris POV

'Why the hell is she doing this to me?! I'm not into girls and or guys, or any other gender that there is!.. I most definitely be ruining her life after this... but.. why do I feel this way? Her lips are soft and I feel like I'm being pulled in an electric storm.' Was what I've been thinking of while Rose continue to kiss me and I was trying my best not to kiss back because I don't even want to admit how good this felt. I close my eyes and just lay under her as I just melt into it, slowly kissing her back since there was no other possible way to escape other than just kissing her back but at the same time it felt really good having a set of soft lips against mine and yet... I'm a virgin for both lips, upper and bottom. I lift my head up more and tug her close as I let out a soft sound from my lips from how good the kiss is, "Cybil.. don't stop.." I say softly and pull away from the kiss so I could catch my breath, blushing softly since I really had no idea what I'm doing in this situation. She pulls away and bites her lip, "Um.. I have a confession to make... I'm a virgin.." she says and still straddles my hips as her eyes made contact with mine but her hands still grip onto my wrists, it wasn't a strong grip like earlier, it was more of a loosened grip. I sit up and cover my mouth then starts chuckling "Wow... guess we both aren't different at all.." I fix up my shirt and peck her lips softly as I sit on her lap, cupping her cheek with a gentle smile on my lip and gazes into her eyes deeply.

"I-Iris.. I'm really sorry.. I shouldn't have kissed you.. I just don't want you to leave like this didn't happened and I believe your story.." she says softly and cups my cheeks as well, her thumb brushes against the scar on my right eye. I let out a soft sigh and hug her gently since I know she is still recovering from her injuries, "Look um.. Cybil... I don't know how to feel but I wouldn't say that kiss felt gross.. I actually liked it.." a soft blush creeps onto my face as I try to pull away again, knowing I might get in trouble for being this close to a girl. She shakes her head and pulls me back, "Hey it's okay I actually really liked it as well and don't be ashamed for wanting to be with me.. who cares what anyone would think, I'll fight them off for you." She says proudly and that made me laugh from how corny it sounds coming out of her, but also honestly how would I say no since I feel like maybe having her around wouldn't be as bad. "I'm making an exception for you and your friend alright.. but only because I dont want the other students to think I'm anti-social and pretty much a cold hearted rich student... I rather actually be loved because it's been too long since I've ya know.." I say softly and fumbles with my finger as I look down, blushing softly since I honestly think Cybil is pretty cute even though I wasn't so sure about her at first. She nods and cups my cheek, kissing me passionately this time which surprised me at first but I start to kiss back, putting my hand on her shoulder as I melt into the kiss and grips onto her a tiny bit from how amazing it feels to be doing this.

'I really wonder how she knows how to kiss and do the things but be a virgin.. unless she reads those erotic books..' I think to myself before I felt my phone buzz and that made me pull away real quick, "Fuck.. it's my dad.. I have to go home... I um.. I'll see you tomorrow Cybil, bye!" I say before fixing myself up again then running out of the infirmary to get to the entrance of the school fast, feeling like I'm in real big trouble for not going home straight away. Cybil felt upset and puts on her top then decides to leave the infirmary as well but not as quickly as Iris, she didn't want to show up and get her in trouble with her father if she was outside in the limo or fancy car, but it would be nice to just catch a ride in those one day but I know that would never happen to me. When I got out of the academy, I saw the limo driving away and I felt my stomach twist since I knew that something might happen to her because we fought and I hurt her plus I kept her from leaving early, it's gonna be all my fault that she might get abused or yelled at but I don't know if her father does that to her. Eventually I start to walk myself home, thinking about the first kiss we shared as I brush my fingers against my lips.. if only I didn't do it, I think she might still hate me even though she said the kiss wasn't gross which made me relieved a tiny bit but the real question is. Are we friends or lovers?
