Unintentional

Amy POV

I still can't think of anything else other than Alyssa. Well, maybe just my dad and Maria, but I really don't like thinking about them.

I keep thinking of how her body feels against mine. I keep wishing I wasn't in school. Our situation is so wrong, but I want her. I'm not ever sure this is a self-bet anymore. There is definitely more than just lust involved here. I don't know what it is, but I know there is more to what I'm feeling. It's obvious I can charm her. Why not stop now?
When my lips touched hers yesterday, everything else melted away. Nothing else mattered in that moment. I am drawn from my thoughts as Avery is walking in the opposite direction from me. She is all smiles.

"I'll come see you practice today, cutie," she whispers in my ear.

I smile and nod. This smile has a different meaning now. At first, each smile was with the intent to sink my claws deeper into her, to make her fall. Now, I smile as a friend. I really don't want anything with Avery. This is all new to me. I have never turned down a beautiful girl, and Avery is all that and more. We do not stop to chat. We are both on our way to our next class. English for me. There is no stopping and talking when it's time to see Alyssa.

As I enter the classroom, I see Alyssa at her desk. I smile at her, and she hangs her head. I always love how nervous she seems around me. It's weird considering our age. I would think I would be the nervous one.

All throughout class, I stare at her, and she avoids the contact. I write one word on the upper right corner of my paper when it is time to hand it in. "Sexy." Just that.

I leave with Chuck, and we make plans for the weekend. I hang out with Chuck in all my free time. He has somehow grown on me. We fist bump, and we part ways. He's off to practice, so am I.

As soon as I reach my locker to change my jeans to basketball shorts, someone hugs me from behind. I spin her around. Avery. How I wish it were Alyssa. I have her against my locker, and she drapes her arms around my neck.

"Do I get any time over the weekend?"

I already made plans with Chuck, but I can at least spare one evening.

"Of course. What about a movie Saturday night?"

"Sounds awesome. I should let you change now. I will be courtside cheering."

I giggle but catch something in my peripheral. Alyssa. Before she can escape, we lock eyes, and there is something in her eyes. Hurt. I know what this looks like, but I have no feelings like that for Avery. To top it off, Alyssa and I can't be. Why would she be hurt? To not have Avery notice, I kiss her cheek.

"I'll be holding you to that. For now, let me get change."

Avery leaves, and I change feeling confused. I get on the court and try my hardest to forget what just happened.
