Girls

Chapter 8

Mother Nature has got me feeling all fucked up to right now. It didn't really affect me over the weekend like it has today. I mean, I'm so incredibly happy, even the fact that Elizabeth is dating someone else and is happy with someone else doesn't depress the shit out of me at the moment. Like, fuck, it's a god damn nice ass Monday, and I had the greatest time Saturday at the carnival. That by itself is bound it make anyone happy!

A girl with long black hair glances my way. I smile at her because why the fuck not? She frigging smiles back at me, too. Sharing the mother freaking love, man.

"Tyllleerrr!!" I run up to my best friend, hug him as tight as I can, and lift him up.

"Woah!" he laughs, studying my face after I set him back down. "Someone is in a good mood!"

"Hell yeah I am!" I shout as I walk away. I see Sabrina and Elizabeth and a my smile broadens. "Hey!!"

"Hey Nicki," Elizabeth grins at my overly happy demeanor.

"Hi," Sabrina's eyes widen but she smiles nonetheless. Her lips look so friggin' amazing, too. Man I wish I could kiss heeeeeeerrrmit crabs. I was not about to say "her" if that's what you're thinking...heh..

"It's a good fucking day, man," I beam as I bounce my way into the locker room. My eyes stay up. Not looking down today, girls! Haha! Yeah! Here's a high five for you, and you, not you, haha kidding! I high five all of the girls I recognize from my class. They all return my grin, though looking quite confused. I can't remember the last time I've felt this freaking pleasant. I mean, really freaking pleasant.

"Shannon!!" I interrupt Shannon and that blond girl's conversation, swooping Shannon up into a huge up and spinning her around. The blond girl has an annoyed bored look on her face, but who gives crap?!

"AHH!" Shannon shrieks.

I drop her back onto her feet, the giddy feeling oozing out of my pores. I flash smiles at the girls near my locker before changing into my wonderfully comfortable p.e. uniform. This euphoric feeling is so overwhelmingly awesome. I love it.

"Wow, somebody's happy!" says JJ as he towers over me once I burst through the doors and out into the warm weather. I grin up at him like a little kid during Christmas.

"It's awesome!" Tyler cheers, his hand up for a high five.

"Right?" I slap my hand against his and begin bouncing up and now. What is this rush of happiness? Was it something I ate? Am I just really in a great mood or what!?

Arms wrap around me from behind, snaking around my waist. First thought? Oh hell yeah. Second thought? Who the hell is this??

I look over, my hyperness cooling down, and see Elizabeth's head is pressed up against my shoulder. She's literally hugging me from behind. I'm too stunned to do anything at first. I mean, what should I do?! My eyes trickle down to her soft tan fingers laced together as they lay over my stomach. Every atom inside of me explodes into a million happy particles. My heart beat is speeding up as she continues to hold me.

"Umm..." My face is on fire dude. Tyler and JJ are staring at her stunned. Hell, you can't blame them.

"What?" Elizabeth murmurs into my back. I can feel the warmth from her breath through the t-shirt. It makes my face all the more redder.

"W-what are you doing?" I swallow. I reach down to un-do her hands but, my fingers having a mind of their own, lace through hers. This sends a whole new kind nervousness throughout my body. Her hands feel so warm and soft in mine. It feels so right just standing like this, not giving a care who is watching.
