My Rainbow of Confusion

Chappie 8

Chapter 8: Bisexual

"Crate!"
Naturally the first person I must see everyday is Crate.
Not because she's is my best friend.
And not because I think my chest my explode.
But because um, you know.
Oh forget it. You all know exactly what I'm about to do.
"Crate. I have news. This is so good I think if I don't catch my breath right now I'll fall over and die."
She grabbed my shoulder, "breathe Amber breathe. Now what happened? How was your date by the way?" She asked.
"Well, it certainly was fun-"
"Hold on, why aren't you denying the fact that it was a date?" She cut me off.
"If you let me tell the story, you will find out." I laughed.
"Oh right. Go on." She said.
"We went bowling, ate pizza, then we played at the arcade. At the end oh and he is such a kid its so funny and super cute-"
"Don't side tracked!" Crate laughed.
"Oh yes okay so when we were going to his car he leaned really close and told me he likes me." I looked at Crate who's jaw was on the floor.
"Did he.." She made a smooching face.
I laughed, "no I thought he was going too but he stopped."
"Pretty sure he was then. Guys don't just lean as close as they can and then suddenly stop without having a plan in mind. Your face probably showed some type of uncertainty making him stop." She said.
I nodded.
She had to right, I mean if you saw it you would compare it to something out of 13 Reasons Why. When Justin was about to kiss Hannah at the park. When he leaned in real close real slow. That is exactly what Abe did. But I didn't want him to kiss me and my face probably showed.
"You know I felt like the crappiest person all night that night." I said to Crate.
"How come?" She asked opening her locker.
"I don't know. I felt guilty for going out with him knowing that Sam can't stand him." I said.
"Well we don't know its him for certain." She said.
"Oh no, we do."
"We do?"
"I asked her that same night, if Adam was actually Abraham and she said oh yeah that's his name and if I see him now I don't know what I would do no if I saw him you I think I would go ballistic and murder everyone in sight." I looked at Crate who was laughing.
"For some reason, I don't think that was what she said, but I get the point." She said.
"I had nightmares about them." I told her.
"As expected."
"Every time, I would choose one of them, the other one was hurt. You know I don't want to hurt anyone." I said.
"I know dear but I still don't get why you feel bad. Its not like Sam likes you." She shrugged.
I bit my lip, "welllll."
Her eyes widened, "Amber."
"I'm sorry mom." I pretended to cry.
"Amber. What happened?" Crate laughed.
"Well mom, she came over for breakfast, well actually I don't know why she came I never asked, but she ended up staying for breakfast. And well she had a moment and she left the dining room and when I went after her, she pulled me into the bathroom and told me she really likes me."
Crate's jaw was once again on the floor.
I know girl, its a lot to take in.
Crate squealed and hugged me.
"Amber this is great!" She said.
"It is?"
"Yes! You're actually stuck in a love triangle." She said.
"And how is that good?" I asked still in her arms.
She closed her locker, "it'll make this book a trillion times better, just wait until chapter 10." She walked off leaving me standing there confused as hell.
"What?" I went up to her.
"You'll have to pick one." She said.
"I know, that is the part I dread the most." I replied.
"You known this makes you bisexual." She looked at me.
"It does?"
"Yes. You are attracted to both sexes making you bi, meaning two, sexual." She informed me.
This is all too much. I can't breathe again!
We were walking to the student lounge when we were stopped in our tracks by an angry Cassidy Sinoma.
I rolled my eyes, "Yes Cassidy?"
"What did you and new boy do last night?" She was steaming.
I snorted, "Why do you need to know, and how do you even know we went out?" I asked her. She really is taking up precious student lounge time.
By the time this conversation is done, I will only have about 12 minutes to relax before 1st period.
"I saw you two talking." She said.
"Oh, and you assume we went out." I said. "Okay Cassidy, because I have nothing to hide from you, Abraham and I went bowling. That's it."
"Who the hell is Abraham?"
Crate laughed, I slapped my forehead with my hand.
"Goodbye Cassidy." Crate said.
"Wait just a minute, didn't I say that you couldn't have him?" Cassidy stepped in front of us again.
"He asked me Cassidy. And last time I checked, I can talk to whoever I want." I pushed past her and Crate followed.
Cassidy grabbed my shoulder, her nails digging into my skin, scratching me, drawing blood.
"Ow!"
"Don't touch her!"
And I never saw it coming.
Cassidy's hand went back and before I knew it, it struck me across the face.
"Amber!"
I laughed a sinister laugh and turned my head back to face her. I put my hair up in a ponytail and attacked her.
I took Cassidy to the ground and slapped her back. 1, 2, 3, times.
She then pushed me and I hit my back on the tile floor.
I heard people yelling and cheering and I heard the distance sound of high heels clopping against the ground.
I looked up and met my maker.
Cassidy's fist collided with my nose bending it in making it bleed like there was no tomorrow.
"Fuck!" I screamed and tears came pouring out if my eyes.
"Now you're really gonna get it bitch." I heard a voice say.
My face burned. I was in shock. Cassidy actually hit me! The bitch broke my nose!
But who is that hitting her now?
The world got fuzzy my head started spinning.
Fuck, a concussion.
Don't sleep.
I feel myself being lifted up.
I see blue on red.
