Threesome

Three

Jexica looked down at her phone to see her threesome group chat was blaring off. Which, ironically, the group chat was called 'Threesome'. Without a full warning, up ahead was a girl carrying her stacks of books as well. At the same time as Jexica read and texted back to her girlfriends, she bumped into the stack of books, knocking the girls down along with Jex's phone and the books that flew out of the girl's grasp.

The books thud loudly against the wooden floors, Jexica's hands were empty from her phone. "Oh no," she began to panic. If anyone had their hands of her phone they could see all of the threesome text messages and nude pics.

"Looking for this?"

Jexica's glance at the girl in front of her. A girl with bleached hair that made her look more adorable. Her face was like a young girl about her age. Jexica's eyes scans for a second at the girl's thin but beautiful body. Taking the phone out of her hands. "Thank you. And are you okay? I'm so sorry." Suddenly Jexica felt a flash of guilt to the very beautiful girl.

"It's alright. Probably shouldn't be walking around with stacks of books in front of me." The girl giggles. Making Jexica go awe. "I'm Gemma."

"Jexica."

"Jexica..." the girl, Gemma, whispers to herself. "That's an usual name."

"My Dad's name Dex and and my Mom's Erica. Basically they tried to combine their names together to make... Jexica." Usually people wouldn't asked where her unusual name came from or they just think she made it up at the spot.

"Where did the J come from?" Intrigued Gemma.

"They were gonna name me Jessica." She laughs every time she thought about when she was younger and asked her parents why they didn't name her Jessica instead of Jexica. "It's a weird story I know."

"Sounds interesting if you ask me. I like people with foreign/unique names. It makes them special and has their own voice." At this, Jexica heat pounds loud in her ears. Hoping it would go away. Never had she felt like this before. She occasionally when she's around her two girlfriends. But this was something different.

Gemma bends down to gather her books. Jexica really wanted to make up for knocking her books down. So she got down on her knees and began to help her. "You read John Green?" Jexica picked up three books that belonged to her favorite author of her favorite book, Looking For Alaska. The picked up a series that she loved. Immortal Instruments. "And the whole series of the immortal instruments?" Handing back Gemma's books.

"Yeah," Gemma blushes. "It's kind of my hobby. But none of my friends understands them."

"Mine either." Close to almost correcting 'friends' to 'lovers'. "I love them," which was true, deeply, "but they just don't get that reading can be amazing."

"It is amazing," Gemma agrees. "Reading takes you somewhere far and away from," she waves her hands in the air, "all of this. The real world. Ever wanna just leave the world and enter a new one?"

Jexica always has. She has always felt like this. Whenever she was alone or with her lovers, she just always needs time to think and get away for a while from everything. Jexica nods. "Yeah. Always."

They were quiet for a moment. Gemma's icey blue eyes took in a moment to fully see Jexica. In her head, she thought that she was a cool girl. None of her sports friends understood the meaning of reading. Seems like she will make a new friend. "Hey," she got nervous, that was who she was, a shy person who loves to read, "you wanna go get Starbucks or something?"

Jexica eyes lit up. "Sure!" Excited for a moment like it was a date.

"Let me just pay for these books first," she swiftly get passed Jexica.

"Wait, you're getting all of them?"

"Yup. All thirteen." Then headed off to the checkout stand.

As Jexica got her tiny mirror out, to check on her face and fix her makeup, she gotten a text from one of her girlfriends, McKayla.

Sexybeast: where are you? Why haven't been replying?

Jex: sorry. Gotten into some trouble.

Sexybeast: what kind of trouble? R U ok, Flower?

Jex: yes, I am fine. I'll talk to you guys later!

"Ready to go?" Gemma came back with two bags of her thirteen books she just purchased herself. "My car is out front."

"Good," Jexica puts her phone away. "I mean, I got a ride here so..."

"No worries. I can drop you off at your place afterwards." Already Gemma was happy to kick off this friendship.

"Sweet!" However, deep in Jexica's mind, friendship wasn't what she wanted.
