Girls

Chapter 15

"NICKI RENEE YOO!!"

Who the fuck just called me-- Oof!

A pair of boobs collide right into my face, my nose smooshing into cleavage. The things are pressed too hard against my glasses, I can't see a damn thing! Wait, did I accidentally bite the cup of her bra?!?!?

With a lot of struggle, I manage to pry the chick off of my face. Shannon is jumping up and down like a little kid excited to open some presents. She's too freaked out to notice the small wet spot smack in the middle of her boobs, the one I unintentionally left. Thank God she's my best friend or I would already have died from mortification.

"OKAY! CAN WE JUST BE CLEAR ABOUT ONE THING?!?" I shout at her, rubbing both hands over my face. "YOUR BOOBS DO NOT BELONG ON MY FACE, OKAY!?!"

"HE TALKED TO ME AGAIN!!!!" Shannon is screaming. In my face. Right in my ear. "HE JUST RANDOMLY CAME UP AND STARTED TALKING TO ME AND I WAS LIKE 'DA FAQ!!?" AND HE JUST STARTS TALKING TO ME ABOUT...ABOUT...FUCK I DON'T REMEMBER. I WAS TOO MESMERIZED BY HIS HAIR. DID YOU KNOW IT'S FUCKING BLUE NOW!?"

I blink at her. In all the time I have known her, I cannot remember a single time she has been this bat-shit crazy over a real, human guy. One time she fangirled over a dude but he was a videogame character so he doesn't technically count. This is the first real and mortal dude I've seen her go straight up crazy over.

I'm not sure if I should be creeped out or really happy about this now that I'm thinking about it...

"SHANNONNN!! NICCCKIII!" Some dick prick whistles at us. Joseph skates over to us, an electronic guitar strapped to his back. He flashes his chipped tooth and hops off of his skateboard. I'm pretty sure skating on campus is strictly forbidden whatever, Joseph does as Joseph pleases.

"What's up guyyys?" He brushes his thick mane he calls hair out of his face. The dude looks like a wannabe stoner band member.

"Shannon is fangirling," I tell him, "So I apologize in advance fer her screaming."

"HIS HAIR THOUGH!!" She hides her face in her hands like she does every time she talks about him.

"Joseph...Evans?" Joseph raises his caterpillar eyebrows at her. She shrugs, she doesn't even know his last name oh my god.

"Does he have blue hair? It was purple but now it's blue?" Shannon mumbles through her fingers.

Joseph gasps a little and looks around, "Aww man it's blue?? I gotta see this! Where'd he go?"

Suddenly, emerging from bathrooms, hands being wiped onto jeans, hair the color of a blue raspberry Jolly Rancher, is the all mighty Jacob Evans. He's looking around like he's not sure which way to walk.

"Hey!" Joseph says happily, "There he is!"

Shannon's eyes jump out of their sockets. She lunges for Joseph, crying, "No Joseph don't--"

"JACOB EVANS!!" Joseph fucking screams at the top of his lungs, side stepping out of the way from Shannon's pounce. "YOUR PRESENCE IS REQUESTED!!!!!"

The blue haired boy nearly jolts out of his shoes. He sees Joseph waving his arms around like a psycho version of the nae nae. You honestly can't look past his maniac moves, he's that chaotic with it.

"Hey," Jacob grins at us (more brightly at Shannon, I might add).

"I'm Nicki," I hesitate, cause I don't really know if I wanna shake his hand or just give him a nod. I end up giving him a weird half nod arm twitch thing. I make good first impressions, I know.

"Hi, I'm Jacob." His eyes glance over to Shannon, who just so freaking happens to be shaking all over. She's lucky he's not close enough to notice that her fingers have slyly caught onto the tail of my shirt.

While the boys catch up about Jacob's hair color, I size the kid up. He's kinda tall, maybe 5'8-ish, and he appears to be somewhat toned underneath his sweatshirt. His eyes are nice and almond shaped with a light (maybe green or blue?) coloring, and his lips are full. He's pale as fuck, but I can see Shannon and Jacob's babies now. Little fucking adorable shitheads. Yes.

Next to me Shannon sneezes. At first, I don't think much about it but when I look at her, she's frozen in place. She's staring at the ground, mortified. And then I realize what she's done and fuck, I'm mortified for her!! Because not only did the bitch sneeze...she farted too...at the same fucking time.

Her eyes fart--- I mean dart---to mine, widened into two perfectly round circles. I stifle a laugh and so does she, our eyeballs nervously jumping over to the guys. Instantly, our laughter dissipates.

Fuck.

They're staring at us.

They know.

Jacob knows that she darted-- no farted--- Jacob knows that she farted.

Fricking fuck.

And then a loud "HAH" sounds escapes my throat. It literally bursts out of nowhere, it's that random. The three pairs of eyes bore onto me.

"Excuse me..." I force out some laughter. It takes a minute before the guys start to laugh along with me. Shannon keeps quiet, though, but I can almost feel the thankfulness radiating off of her.

"You did not," Joseph giggles.

I shrug, feigning the embarrassment that Shannon would actually be experiencing if not for my amazingness. Is that a word? No I don't think so... let's say it again anyways: Amazingness.

Jacob rests his light colored almond eyes on Shannon, opens his mouth to speak, but then Joseph rambles over him, talking about how "spiffy" his guitar is. I can see it, though. Jacob wants to talk to Shannon, not Joseph. That's probably why he came over here too.

I smirk when I see Jacob try to politely get out of the conversation with Joseph.

"Joseph," I say to grab his attention. "Tell me about your skateboard."

And like that, Joseph is now rambling about how fabulous his board is and where he got it blah blah blah. I pretend to listen but I'm actually listening to Jacob and Shannon's conversation.

"So how are you doing, Shannon?" Jacob's voice reminds me of creamy peanut butter; it's all smooth and silky, but not deep enough to have to chug down some milk. I'd compare him to a pb sandwich, but he doesn't have weird uneven skin to compare to white bread so...

"G-great!" Shannon's voice cracks hella obviously and I see her shift the weight on her feet in the corner of my eye. She clears her throat, "I'm a...I'm good." She stutters.

This is so god damn adorable. I'm listening love blossom before my ears. Dear fucking god where is Sabrina? I have to tell her about this beautiful moment so we can fangirl together.

Satisfied with her answer,  Jacob smiles--I think that's a smile? I can't tell. Why can't Joseph just stop talking so I can actually look at these kids? Damn.

The bell yells that it's time for first period. Now for the awkward part. I hug Joseph goodbye, cringing as my ribs crack under his death grip, I hug Shannon goodbye, her body still slightly trembling, and then I look at Jacob. I got for something simple: the fist bump. He smiles at me and knocks his knuckles on them, and then does the same to Joseph.

With Shannon, of course it's different. But then he goes in for a hug AND IT'S WAY DIFFERENT. Her medium brown skin fades into a near white color and her body is stiffer than stone. Jacob's arms wrap around her shoulders and he squeezes lightly. Shannon is pure blank. Her face is so wide and contorted from shock that it's like she's not even registering what's going on right now.

Jacob laughs and pulls away. It's almost like he did that to get a reaction out of her. What a douche. I love this kid.
