Cleo's POV
Cat, Jade and I were invited to a girl's night by Trina and Tori, I was pretty excited to go although, seeing Jade would ruin my night. I tried to tell myself that Jade shouldn't stop me from having fun and I was currently packing my bag and getting myself prepared to go to Tori and Trina's
After arriving I was sat on the couch chatting with Trina as Jade was tormenting Tori while we waited for Cat to arrive, "I get that some people may hate you but I don't see why, you're actually really pretty and you can sing, you're really nice to me and you're generous . There's no reason to hate on you unless they're jealous" I said to Trina, "oh my god, thank you so much Cleo, you don't know how much I've been insecure about myself, everyone's jokes and comments made my days really gloomy" , "not as gloomy as your face" Jade butted in, "shut up, Jade" I said to her, she got offended and got up from her seat to look me in the eyes, "What'd you say you little lesbian?" , my blood was boiling, I was clenching my fist in anger "Why can't you try and be a little nice once in a while, all this mean shit should stay in the bedroom and all your kinky shit with beck!"
"Hiiii!!" Cat said as she entered, we all turned to look at her, she could tell the room was heated and her expression died down "bye!!!" She walked back out. I walked outside to get cat to come back "wait! Cat, you can come in. I'm sorry you had to walk into that" I apologised to her and bowed down a little out of sympathy. Then, soon enough I was walking with Cat back into Tori's house, as I opened the door for her I noticed that Jade was now really close to the door.
After cat had entered I was soon face to face with Jade, "I'm sorry for calling you a lesbian. It wasn't right" she mumble and fidgeted with her rings "and?" Tori said, indicating that there was more. "And for being mean" Jade huffed and was now looking at tori with an angry face. I took a second to sigh and let all the anger leave my mind as I spoke "yeah, it wasn't right" I glared at her and she returned it. "But... it was kinda sweet to hear you say you were sorry, so I'm gonna let it pass" I struggled to not smile at my own words. Seeing as Jade was still mad but didn't want to get kicked from the slumber party. Once I've walked close enough to Jade she whispered in my ear "you're not as powerful as you may think."... "you can't be mad forever" I whispered back then made my way back onto the couch
"Thanks for standing up for me" Trina began. "No worries, that's what friends are for" I comforted her and rubbed her shoulder "I'm bored, let's play something" I said out loud, not really talking to someone, "let's play truth or dare!" Tori thought out loud as she looked around to find an empty bottle. "Yeah sure that sound fun" I accepted and soon enough we were all sat in a circle with the bottle in the middle. Tori spin the bottle and in landed on Cat . "Truth or dare" Tori asked Cat "Dare!" Replied the red haired girl. "I dare you.." Tori took a minute to think. "Watch the scariest scene from the scissoring" Tori grinned evilly as she stared at Cat
Cat's smile dropped and she quickly looked at Jade, who was surprisingly also smiling. Jade quickly took out her phone and was watching the scene with Cat, while Tori, Trina and I got a perfect view of her reaction. Cat squirmed and whimpered as she watched the scene, a creepy smirk making its way to Jades mouth as she stared intensely at the screen, soon enough cat was coving her eyes and the scene was over
"I hate you!!" Cat yelped out, not towards anyone but we know she was talking about Tori. Tori chuckled and soon enough Jade was spinning the bottle, the bottle spun for exactly 21 seconds before completely stopping directly in front of me. My heart sank, I knew jade had no mercy, and I didn't want her to make me do something I didn't want to. "Truth, or dare... Cleo?" Jade spoke, I would be lying if I didn't say I was terrified, "truth.." I mumbled , "not so confident anymore, now are we?" Jade spoke in a gentle and soft voice. "Deepest, darkest secret." She asked. Oh no, maybe if I don't make it obvious she won't know? "I.. have a crush on my bully." I said embarrassingly
Jade took a moment to laugh at me before speaking again, "how could you like someone who hurts you?" She said with a grin still on her face, seconds away from laughing again. "There's something deep inside me that lets me believe that 'he's' not really as mean as people might think 'he' is, I know 'he' has a soft spot and 'he's' actually really adorable" I rambled on and on about my crush. Tori then teasingly elbowed my arm "ooo, who's the lucky guy?" She said with a smirk then a wink. "U-uh.. his name's...J-...Justin!" I quickly made up a name for my crush before covering my face again, "can we just move on?!?"
Moving on...
After we played truth or dare we played other games like twister and monopoly, we had pillow fights and we made drinks for each other. Soon enough it was time for bed. Trina, Tori and Cat were sleeping in Trina's room, and I was stuck with Jade in Tori's room. I figured that if I just ignore she even existed, it would be easier to just get over with.
I entered the room after leaving to get my bag from the living room, jade was stood up next to the queen sized bed tying up her hair, her black tank top hugging her curves perfectly making it hard for me not to stare. But soon enough I was able to pull my gaze away. "I'll sleep on the floor" I said, my voice sounding softer and weaker than intended. "There's no need" jade said making me look up at her in confusion "are you going to sleep on the floor?" . "No, there's room for the both of us" she patted down the side of the bed that was opposite of hers, I quietly made my way towards the bed and sat down, soon enough Jade was also sat down. "I know Justin isn't your actual crush"
I was confused at first but when it hit me, my heart dropped. "What are you talking about?" I questioned, "you know exactly what I'm talking about." Jade turned to look at me and we were inches apart, "there isn't a guy at our school named Justin." She spoke while looking at me, "how did you know?" I mumbled, "I do my research, not that I wanna know who you like" she was also mumbling now. "Now, tell me why you lied." She lifted my chin to look up at her. "W-well. I technically didn't lie... most of it was true. I only lied about her name.." my eyes widen. Why did I say that!! "Her?" Jade smirked "so you ARE a lesbian?"
"Not really.. I'm not labeling myself." I explained. Jade suddenly pulled her hand away from my chin as she realized something, she looked back down at me and kissed me. I was surprised and wasn't fast enough to kiss back. I stood there, shocked. "Why so shocked? You didn't think I'd find out?" She smirked "I-...how did you-?" She cut me off "I'm the only person in school who 'bullies' you, you're liked by everybody. Also, I noticed that you were about to say my name when you were making up a name for your 'crush'" Jade explained. I felt so embarrassed to know that she knew all along.
She leaned in and kissed me again, "you feel the same?" I asked as we pulled away from the kiss, "believe it or not, yes. Even tho all I did was tease and make fun of you for liking girls. Oh how the tables have turned" she chuckled and sat back on the bed. I laid next to her on the bed "I- u-hm wow... I never expected to see this side of you." I spoke. "No one gets to.. I've been waiting for you to see this side of me" she said as she fiddled with her fingers. "Should I close the lights?" I asked as I remembered how tiring the day was. "Yeah whatever" she replied and turned her back against me. I didn't take it too personally tho, because as soon as I closed the lights I cuddled up against her, by wrapping my arms around her waist and nuzzles my face into her neck. Good thing she didn't protest and just intertwined our fingers. "I don't want people to see me as a soft person.." Jade spoke again "which is why I always try to push people away.. before I get too attached" I rubbed my thumb on her hand as a way to show that I understand "you don't always have to lie to others to seem like the perfect person, people always have their perfectly imperfect moments. We lie, hate, cry, worry, stress, and many others. But that's also what makes us human.. doesn't it?" "Yeah, but.. I feel like I always have to put this image into peoples head whenever they think of me." Her voice softer and smoother. " I completely understand what you mean, but I also want people to see me. How they see me? You feel me? Like.. I want people to see me how I personally look or feel like to them" I continue to explain "like cat, I want cat to see me like an older sister, which is why I always protect her and whatnot, I want Trina to see me as a safe person, which is why I comfort her and help her gloomy moods, I want you to understand that" I tried my best to explain how I felt and what I wanted others to feel
"I think I understand." Jade said and flipped to now be looking at me. A soft smile now on her lips
