"Alright, so you two are the cutest couple in school. I wanna know the insides of the relationship, for the whole school. This is gonna be recorded and put out for the school to hear, so don't say anything stupid." Lauren started off strong. Amy and I sat down, Lauren still standing put on a face of confusion but just mumbled, "What the hell?" and sat down with us. She turned on the recorder app on her phone and asked us, "As Hester's cutest couple, you guys get a lot of popularity. Now, what do you think about it? Having people look at you every time you walk by."
I answer, "I personally love the spotlight, and Amy ... doesn't mind it but doesn't adore it." Amy nods her head in approval of my answer.
Lauren moves to the next question, "People of Hester know when you were outed, but not when the relationship started. Could you please give us insight on this?" She puts her phone to my face waiting for me to answer.
"Well, we had always been best friends and sometime last year we realized that we were meant to be more than that." My mouth was open, but the words came from Amy's mouth.
Lauren cuts her phone off, "Alright, last question. What's the real reason you two got together?" Neither one of us knows how to answer. "Well ... spit it out. This one isn't being recorded."
Amy speaks up, "I've always loved Karma, and remember when you tried to out us as fakes in the gym. Yeah, well when we kissed I felt something in me just go off, like I realized what I had been missing out on."
"What about you Karma?"
"Me? ... uh ... I realized when I kissed Liam and I didn't feel the same. I kissed Amy, and I couldn't resist but do a cheesy smile. Do you remember that?" I turn and look at Amy.
"Oh yeah. That was creepy, and you wouldn't tell me why." She lightly smacks my arm.
"I talked with Shane and he told me what I was feeling wasn't just some misconception, I love you Amy." I grasp for Amy's hand. She takes mine and holds it.
Lauren is just sitting in the background, she's been assessing the whole thing, and from what I can tell, she didn't know that I was with Liam. I let it slip out and I felt stupid. It took a moment for her to speak, "Wow. I'm sorry, for being such an asshole. Your relationship is much more complicated than the one I had with Bobby. So wait ... are you a lesbian or bi?"
This is something I wasn't anticipating. Honestly I've never thought about it. Shane never said either one, I mean I was in a lust filled relationship with Liam but I never really loved him, more or less it was just lust. "I - erm" Amy looks at me with eyes that just ... confuse me to the max. She's looking at me hoping that I know my orientation. I can just see it in her eyes, but I really don't know. "I don't know I've never thought about it, but it doesn't matter right now. I love Amy."
Amy looks at Lauren, to see confused eyes, then to me, then back at her. "I love you too, Karma." I somehow can't believe that she really loves me. She can't even say it in front of other people without hesitating. She has to, right? I'm sure she does.
"Wow, are you two serious this time or is this just another fake relationship?"
I'm quick to say with a bit of worry in my voice, "No. This one isn't for everyone else. This is for us. Right, Amy?"
Amy looks at me, "Yeah, of course. I've wanted our relationship to be real since we started faking it." This somehow sets me at ease. I harden my grip on Amy's hand, and Lauren starts talking again.
"Okay, well I'm gonna let you two do ... whatever this is." Lauren waves her hand around at us. After she finished her sentence she gets up and walks away, probably to go find her slaves, Leila and Elizabeth. Sure enough, we hear her say "Leila! Lizbeth!" and they start to follow.
Amy looks at me and I instantly know I'm in trouble. "Okay. What the fuck was that?" Amy instantly asks me with a bit of a laugh in her question.
"What ever do you mean, darlin'?" I respond like her mother.
"You're having doubts about me Karma?"
"What? No, definitely not ... okay maybe, but it's complicated." I try to shake it off.
"Well," Amy leans back when she says this. "Tell me how complicated it is." I'm left with no other choice but to tell her. Besides, no secrets.
"Fine." I'm leaning back at this point, too. "You see, when we were fake, I was having the time of my life ... knowing that I had a lie to hide behind. I feel like when we started dating I lost that lie. Like now, I feel people can hurt me. I also feel like when I lost my lie I got a new one ..."
"And that being?"
"I feel like I love you, but my mind is just lying to me, like it's telling me I love you when I really don't. I mean ... ugh that came out wrong. What I mean is ... I love you but I don't know if it's just a trick in my mind, I don't wanna hurt you if you love me. But you ..."
"What did I do wrong this time?"
"Nothing. It's just ... I'm kinda scared that you don't love me."
"Karma, don't say something like that. You know I love you." Amy kinda bursts this out and we get weird looks. She gets this look in her eyes that scares me, it's like her sad eyes and angry ones combined. She gets up, and I'm still sitting on the ground. "I love you, Karma." She says with a stern tone, and storms off. The eyes of everyone nearby are still on me. I'm trying not to cry since everyone's looking, I call out "Amy ... wait." but she just keeps walking.
