Confusion

Ch. 1

First meet

"Wait, what do you mean detention???" Amber exclaims in frustration.

"I'm sorry Amber, but you've been late to this exact class for how many days now?" Ms. Kim raises her eyebrow at the flustered red head. "I'll give you two hours." She then goes closer to her with her arms folded. "That's not so bad, right?" Then smirks at her. Amber feels warmth creeping in slowly into her freckled cheeks.

"Uh, no problem, Ms. Kim. I'll take care of it" Amber runs out of the classroom trying to hide her crimson colored cheeks straight to the bathroom with her hands. She's been extremely stressed out with school and the soccer team. She's also growing some unwanted feelings about herself.

"I don't want to hurt anyone again." She buries herself into her hands and sobs quietly in the bathroom stall. She then shoots her head straight up from her hands after she hears a sound. Foot steps come closer to her stall and the owner of the footsteps is also sobbing quietly. The owner stops as she notices Amber in the bathroom. They start to breath heavily and rush into one of the back stalls. Amber hears,

"Shit, Shit, SHIT!" And hears a slight bang against the door of the stall. She gets curious and goes on top of the toilet and tries to climb into the other stall without startling the person.

"Ah, FUCK!" Crashes next to the toilet in the new stall. The mysterious person follows the voice and opens the stall to see a redhead in the toilet. She blushes slightly and starts to panic.

"Oh, God. Uh, um, let me h-help you" Amber grows quiet as she sees this girl in a fair sized black skirt and black stockings. She looks up at her face and bites her lip from the embarrassment. She sees this innocent girl with milk chocolate-brown hair wearing a green shirt that says "It's Dangerous To Go Alone, Take This." Hazel eyes and black rimmed glasses with little freckles surrounding where the bridge of her glasses meet her nose. The girl holds out her small hand.

"Woah, Zelda? Nice..." Amber whispers to herself. She gets up by herself and stares at the girl. "Uh, I like your shirt!" She rubs the back of her head in slight embarrassment from this situation and looks to her left. "I kinda want to get out so I can get some spare clothes." After a few seconds of silence, the girl slightly laughs and moves for Amber to get out. Trying to keep a straight face, Amber washes her hands without gaining eye contact with this mysterious girl. "Haha, my name is Amber by the way." She laughs and looks down at her hands still washing them.

"Oh, uh" the girl freezes and looks down. "Uh, I'm Rosè..." It was too quiet for Amber to hear so she turns around to meet eyes with her.

"I'm sorry?"

"I, ha, I'm Rosè! Sorry, I'm not so good at introducing myself." She looks down again and grins at her attempt at actually talking to this girl. Especially this girl. She feels something drop in her chest and shrugs it off thinking it's just her anxiety. "Uh, yeah, Rosè" she flashes an innocent smile showing her white teeth. Amber feels a grin forming slightly on her face and catches herself from staring.

"Hehe. Nice to meet you, Rose!" Amber just slightly waves and grins. "You did a good job introducing yourself as well" she gives her a quick wink and giggles. Judging on Rosè's expression, Amber quickly loses her smile. "Haha. I see. You're one of those shy types right?" Rosè slightly nods and stares at Amber a bit before running out of the bathroom. "Shit, Amber, not again! God, get yourself together, you idiot." Amber slowly walks out the bathroom and straight to her locker.

"Ah shit, I don't have any extra clothes" She slams her door quite loudly causing people to stare at her. "Huh? What's wrong, dip shits? So what if I'm wet???" She stomps her feet to her next class which happens to be her art class. At least she can calm herself with the thing she loves.

Amber's Pov.

Ah shit, I don't think they stared at me just because I'm wet, right? What the hell was I thinking??? Calling strangers like that out of no where? I swear something is wrong with me. I'll figure it out sooner or later. Ayyy let's listen to some toons. I get my phone out and turn on Pandora while I put my headphones in my ears. Yes, Rush is one of my favorite bands and it's already playing. God, I love you, Pandora.

'Be cool or be cast out. Subdivision. In basement bars. In the backs of cars. Be cool or be cast out' dooo do dooo da da do da do do dooooooo

"Hey! Amber?"

Huh? I suddenly hear footsteps come closer to me. After a few seconds the steps quickened and I felt a sudden force against my right shoulder.

"Oh shit, Suzi, you scared me." I softly punched her shoulder "dude, what's wrong with you? I was listening to mah jaaaams"

"Amber, you got no jams. Don't even start"

God, this kid. Wait a second? I just heard someone giggle. I'm gonna go closer to the giggles and check it out. I hate when random plebs laugh at me for no reason. Oh fuuuuuuuck. It's herrrrrrr! I didn't know she was in my class! Ahhhh not now god damn hormones. Oh shit oh shit. If you can't see her, she can't see you.

"GOD!" Oh oops. I should be a little more quiet when I RUN INTO A GOD DAMN POLE.  God, I'm clumsy as hell. Awww she's giggling again. AHHHHHHH SHE'S GIGGLING AGAIN. OH FUCK, RUN.

"Amber, what the hell? Stop being so weird. Come on and sit with me before class starts. Also why are you soaking wet?"

"Uh, that doesn't really matter" I quickly walk over to get supplies for class. Since I only take the painting class so far, I just grab a few paint brushes for now. Hopefully it's not a god damn lecture about color schemes and shit. 'Everybody knows what the color red is, you old hag.' I just sit there with my head on the table, playing with the brushes. I hope this girl doesn't notice me. Especially when I'm like this. All wet and stressed. Also I'm always ugly so why the heck does she keep smiling at me? All I did was just fall in a toilet. Not save her God damn life so why is she acting like we're friends? I mean I want to be her friend but I don't want to weigh her down. Most people will think it the other way around. The nerd weighing down the somewhat popular girl but I'm so messed up, it won't last. Ahhhhhh why am I even thinking this will work? Is she even as gay as me? I bet she's already dating someone. Lucky ass. Whatever. I'll try to forget about it.

"Amber? Amber! Get out of your damn world and talk to me. It's like we don't even talk anymore"

I heard a few mumbles from my friend but chose to ignore it. I can't take shit from her anymore. Since middle school, she's always been so... what's the word? Bitchy. Always complains about something in her life, whether it's someone else's fault or my fault. It's never her fault for the start of her own problems???? God, whatever. I don't want to deal with her anymore, but she's all I got. I'll probably be found in a ditch dead if it wasn't for Suzi. We've been friends since we were only a few months old. Ha, we almost share the same birthday. Anyway, we've been through everything together. I don't want to get into details about our whole life together because it's pretty boring. Also, I'd rather not think about my past.

"AMBER AMBER AMBER!" At this moment Suzi was shaking my shoulders still trying to get my attention. I just stare at her with a blank expression.

"I'M GONNA SLAP YOU IF YOU KEEP CHOOSING TO IGNORE ME!"

"Suzi, we aren't in high school anymore. At least act a little mature?"

"Did you get enough sleep last night, Amber? You're grumpy today."

"Boi, you know I never get enough sleep. Also, I'm always grumpy. Shit, Grump was my nickname even when we were kids. Thought you would remember that"

"Haha. Sassy Amber at it again." I rolled my eyes at her while setting my head on the table again. My eyes started focusing on this figure. Ahhh why does she have to be so cute. Stop shaking up my heeeeaaarrt.

Yay the first chapter! Hope you like it so far.
