Red and Blue, What a Combination (Heathers GlowMate AU)

Chapter 2: Talk To Me

CHAPTER TWO

Talk To Me

   The next few days weren't as interesting, it was hard to ignore the emotional push of what happened. It wasn't that she didn't think Heather was attractive, no not at all, it's just that she didn't expect her Soulmate to be well... Female?

   Heather had been ignoring her gaze, not wanting to talk about anything.

   All her life Veronica thought she was straight, just as most people were. But, as everyone knows, the Glow is never wrong. People who go against it generally live unhappy lives. She wasn't about to go up to Heather and kiss her right there, confirming the purple glow that was mixed from the colors that came from their chest.

   Red and Blue, huh, what a combination.

   Veronica didn't want to back away from this though, she was determined to at least try and talk to Heather about it. Maybe Heather wasn't as much of a bitch as she made herself out to be.

   Later At Lunch.

   Her heart thumped fast in her chest as she approached her supposed Soulmate.

   "uh.. hey, Heather."

   "I do not wish to talk to you," Chandler muttered to the food on her lunch tray. The others were just watching, waiting for things to unfold.

   Veronica dared to step closer. "Heather, we have to talk about this at some point. How about... how about you meet me in the bathrooms before 6th period. If you don't show up, I'll let it go and live a miserable life like those who don't follow their Soulmate do. And so will you." then she walked away, not looking back, but she could feel the eyes of the two other Heathers on her back as she stepped out of the cafeteria.

   The next period went by slowly, she couldn't stop thinking about the sweet burning in her chest from yesterday. The mild touch of Heathers hand on her chin as she made her look her in the face, the colors that mixed so well together, it felt way better than she imagined from all those stories she had been told as a kid.

   Finally, after a painstakingly long 45 minutes, 5th period ended. Veronica made her way to the bathroom, expecting to be the first one there, and most likely the only one to even show up. But there she was, the Demon Queen herself, sitting down with her back against the wall, knees tucked up under her chin.

   "Hey, didn't think you'd acctually show up."

   "Better to get things over with. Besides, if I ignore this then I'll only lead a boring and painful life, right?" Heather mumbled into her knees.

   Veronica offered a hand, Heather looking up at it before taking it. A small glow (not as bright as the first but noticeable), appeared in their chest, an unusual thing to happen, but it must have been to prove that it wasn't just a trick of the eye.

   Blushing red, Heather pulled up. "And suppose I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about it all day and yesterday... and that day before that..."

   Veronica let out a small laugh at this, "Same here, um, wanna start out with just hanging out? Pop some jiffy pop, get some slushies?"

   "Only if corn nuts are included in that package." Heather smiled, a real, genuine smile that Veronica never thought she'd see on her.

   "Of course." She smiled back, a smile Veronica never thought she'd give Heather Chandler, the Demon Queen of the school.
