Once There Were Three

Ch. 5

Soon, the monster found out that the two girls had gym class together. His mind went wild. Oh, the things that must go on in a girl's locker room. Once again, he reached out to the pink girl, "So, I heard you two have gym together." Already, the pink girl could tell where this was headed. "Yes, that's right." She was curious about what the green girl had told him. "Do you stare at her while she's changing?" She didn't want to lie, but she didn't want him to know either. "Well, we're all around each other and our lockers are right across from one another, so yeah, I guess." A passive-aggressive answer was the way to go. "Do you like what you see when you look at her?" The pink girl recalled the first time she saw the green girl changing: her body looked like it was made out of pure white marble. "She's very pretty." The monster knew what that meant. "Did you want to touch her?" Her skin did look very soft and smooth. "I don't know." The monster was frustrated, "Answer the question." She started to feel sick again. "Yes." That only fueled the never ending fire. The monster would go on to ask questions, one each more naughty than the last. They ended up making a story. Once again, the pink girl enjoyed it. She felt bad talking about the green girl this way, the situation was innocent, like admiring art in a museum. The monster had twisted it and made it dirty. "She feels the same way, you know." The pink girl didn't know what to think. He was probably with her right now, telling her everything. The pink girl felt so embarrassed. The next day in gym class, everyone was sitting down for a free day. The pink girl didn't have any friends, so she sat alone and listened to music. The green girl was sitting a few feet away with her friends. What would she say to her? How do strike up a conversation with someone after what happened last night? The pink girl started to feel sick again. She got on her phone to try and calm down. While scrolling, she found a picture of a baby octopus. She could overhear the green girl's friends talking to her about animals. This could be the perfect moment to talk to her. Suddenly, the bell rang for the end of class. Everyone got up to leave. While she was waiting outside, the pink girl saw the green girl and her friends. "Maybe I could show the picture to her now.", she thought. She made her way over to them. Just as she was a foot away, the monster appeared to walk the green girl to her next class. "Or maybe not."
