One Problem

Chapter 6

Malia - can we talk? Please? 🥺

Kylie - about?

Malia - u know what about. Please?

Kylie sighs. "I'm gonna fucking regret this, aren't i?"

Kylie - where did u wanna meet?

Malia - the soccer field?

They agreed to meet an hour later. Kylie gets there first. She sits on the stands, overlooking the field as she plays with her nails. Does this mean Malia knows? Is she disgusted by her? Is she about to come here and slap her across the face and tell her to never speak to her again? "Hey!" Kylie quickly stands. "Hey! Uh, you wanted to talk?" Malia nods and sits down. "Yeah. Look, I'm sorry about earlier at school today. I don't know what came over me. I should have never kissed you without your consent. I just....i think i really like you and if you'll let me, I'd like another chance?" Kylie sighs. "I like you too. Clearly." They laugh. "Um, yeah. Ok." She nods. "So how did you....?" Kylie stares at her. Malia smiles and holds her hand. "Kylie Cantrall, would you go out with me?" Kylie smiles and rubs the back of her hand with her thumb. "Yes, i would love to. When?" "Tomorrow? After the game?" Kylie nods. "It's a date."

Tomorrow could not come soon enough for either of them. Kylie walks into school with Ruby and Mel, in their uniform. Ruby has her cheer uniform on with some sweatpants underneath. "Ok, i got home kinda late last night so i forgot to text you guys but, Malia asked me out on a date yesterday." They both stare at her. "You're kidding me." Ruby smiles. "Nope. We talked and she asked me out. We're going right after the game later today." Kylie nods. "Well, I'm happy for you, Ky." Mel smiles as she grabs Ruby's books. "Hopefully now, you won't be the third wheel all the time." She smirks. Kylie rolls her eyes. "Oh fuck you!" "Where and when?" Mel smirks. "No, no, no. No!" Ruby points to both of them. "Stop fucking around." "I mean, if you let us...we cou-" "Ah! I don't want to hear it! The only one you're fucking, is me." Ruby presses her finger against Mel's chest. "Ow." She laughs. "Yes ma'am." She smirks. "Gross." Kylie cringes as she walks to her class.

She spots Malia and makes her way over. "Hey!" "Hey!" They carry on with class, stealing glances at each other while smiling. When it came time to take notes, they both held hands, since Malia was right handed and Kylie was left. The only time they would let go was when they had to hold down the paper to erase something. The bell rings soon after and they part ways. "I'll see you later?" "See you later." Malia kisses her cheek. She headed to cheer when some guy she's never seen before suddenly walks up to her. "You know, i can treat you way better than Cantrall can." He smirks. "I highly doubt that." Malia tries to ignore him as she turns the corner. She spots Mel walking away as she drops Ruby off at her class. "Oh come on, only a real man has what it takes to worship this body of yours." He tries to grab her ass when Ruby kicks him in the balls. "Oh fuck...." He groans. "She's not interested, ass-wipe! Now i suggest you go while you still have on testicle left." He drags himself away as Malia turns towards Ruby. "Thank you so much." "It's no problem, i get guys like that all the time. It's fucking disgusting. I'm so glad i have Mel."

They walk to cheer practice together. "You know, you two are so cute together." Malia smiles at her. Ruby blushes. "I know, i, we get that a lot." "How long have you been together?" "A few years. But we've known each other for longer." Malia nods. "Hey, can i ask you something?" "What's up?" "Does Kylie ever....i don't know, randomly take off out of nowhere?" Ruby hesitates. "Uh, why do you ask?" Malia shrugs. "We've been hanging out, and the last time, I don't know what came over me, but i kissed her and things got a bit....heated. And she just took off." Ruby slowly nods. "Um....heated how?" "Well, i was gonna....slip my hand in her pants....does she-" "Kylie's a virgin. Just letting you know. So if you were going to do something. I suggest talking to her and not me. Nor Mel. And just take things slow. I mean, you guys are going on your first date right?" Malia nods. "Yeah, later today." "Well then, just go with the flow. Don't rush. And I'm sure you'll get there....when you get there." Ruby smiles awkwardly. Ok, not the answer she was looking for, but ok. Was she hiding something too?

Malia nods. "You're right. Thanks Ruby." Ruby nods. "Of course, now practice." "Right." They continue the routines and chants, Ruby can tell Malia's mind was elsewhere and she has a feeling she knows where. "Alright ladies! That was great, remember big game tonight! I want you all here and in uniform by 3!" Ruby tells everyone. They all dispersed as they grabbed their bags. The bell rings and she hurries to class, saying bye to Ruby in passing. She goes to her locker and switches her books before heading to class. She walks in and takes her seat next to Kylie. "Hey!" "Hey girly!" Kylie jokes as she notices her cheer uniform. "You ready to kick some ass?" Malia playfully nudges her. "Oh, always." Kylie smirks. "You ready to shake that booty of yours?" Malia blushes. "Of course." Class ends and they both hold hands as they walk to the field together. Kylie grabs Malia's bag and throws it over her shoulder with her bag. "Thanks." Malia smiles. "You're welcome." Kylie smiles back at her. She sets both their bags down as Malia takes off her sweatpants and puts it inside her bag. Kylie looks away as her shorts start to feel tight. Malia notices her looking away and glances down. "Um, Kylie?" "Huh?" Kylie follows her gaze and looks down. She quickly turns away. "Um, you know what? I left my cleats in the locker room! I'll be right back." Kylie hurries and heads inside the locker room. Not like she actually did, they were in her bag but Malia didn't need to know that.

She walks in and sees Ruby practically dry humping Mel as she sits on the bench. "For fucks sake!" She groans. Ruby quickly climbs off her and wipes her mouth. "Ky! How long have you been standing there?" "Too long. Look, would you two please come outside? Alright? Don't leave me alone with Malia?" She begs. "Why not? I thought you liked her?" Ruby asks. "I do, that's the problem." She groans. "Ohh." Mel frowns. "Yeah, that would be a problem." Kylie nods. "Yes, now please?" She motions for them to leave. "Ok fine, but if she's gonna be your new friend or girlfriend or whatever the hell, she will find out eventually. You can't hide that forever." Ruby points down. Kylie sighs. "Yeah, i know. But I can't tell her. We haven't even gone out yet, she definitely won't want to be with me after she finds that out." Ruby shrugs as she grabs her pom poms out of the locker. "You never know, some girls are actually into that. Just look at me and Mel." "Tis true." Mel nods. "And we've been together for....fuck, five and half years?" She guesses. Ruby nods. "Somewhere around there, yeah." "Well not all of us can be that lucky, ok? And i highly doubt I'm lucky." Kylie opens the door and heads to the field.
