Blondes and Boarding School

Wishing Well

You would thing they would be satisfied with me streaking across a soccer field for them.

Nope.

They're taking me towards the center of campus, I think.

Catherine and Avery are leading the way, Alice and Adrian behind us, Maggie and I in the middle.

It's all very shady if you ask me.

"This is the fountain." Avery announced, very business-woman-like as we got to the center of campus. We were standing in a round, brick walkway, very open to many of the schools huge buildings. It was dark except the lights that illuminated the water of a huge concrete fountain.

It reminds me of in Finding Nemo when they take Nemo to Mnt. Wannahauckaloogi.

Any other nerds out there who love Nemo?

No?

Okay moving on then...

"It's a little muggy out tonight isn't it, Alice?" Adrian asked, wrapping her arms around her girlfriends waist from behind.

Oh fuck.

I already know where this is going.

"I am not swimming in that fountain!" I blurted out.

"Aww, she's so smart." Catherine cooed. "And yes you are."

"It's not that bad. I had to do it too." Maggie said gently, standing unnecessarily close to me.

Not that I mind.

What?

I'm being traumatized here, cut me a break.

"Do I get to keep my clothes on this time?" I sighed, defeated.

"Sure." Catherine shrugged.

"So whats the catch?" I glanced at Maggie.

'Cause come on you guys.

This is just too easy!

"You have to get all the pennies whatever dumb asses threw in there." Adrian said, busily groping Alices ass.

"What?" I laughed.

Seriously, these hoes need to man up.

I'm almost insulted.

"What kind of idiot doesn't know that you don't throw fucking coins in a fountain? Is that a wishing well? Does that shit look like a wishing well to you?" Catherine ranted, flinging her long arms around for emphasis.

"So they're gonna make you get every single coin out." Maggie rolled her eyes.

Dumb.

I rolled my eyes too, then stepped into the fountain. I was just up to my knees but holy fucking shit!

Or should I say sh- shi- sh- shitttt!

The water is so cold I swear my titties are gonna fall off into this water and sink like rocks.

Fucking rocks!

Titties should never be compared to rocks...unless you're Regina George's mom.

Moving on...

"It's cold." I stuttered out as a shining circle caught my eye.

"That's what makes it so great." Avery laughed.

"Guys her lips are turning blue already." Maggie said, giving me a sympathetic face.

I shrugged her off and reached down to get the quarter.

My muscles already ache.

And let me tell you...

My nipples literally hurt.

"You can come out once you'be gotten them all." Alice laughed at me and my chattering teeth.

That's right.

Chattering teeth.

They're banging together so hard I think I might knock a few out.

.........

Thirty Minutes.

It took me thirty minutes to get every single coin out of that mother fucking fountain.

I climbed out, completely numb and Maggie wrapped a towel around me.

Where the fuck did they get a towel?

Anyways...

Maggie rubbed my arms to get me warm as I shivered and the rest of them laughed.

"Mmhm, Maggie rubbing you should get you warm real quick." Adrian teased, winking at Maggie.

Maggie shot her a look that said 'I will torture Alice in front of you and make you finish her off, then burn down the dorm with you inside.'  then took a step back from me.

Aww

Boo.

What?

She was making me warm!

I mean stage two of hypothermia here people...

"So am I done now?" I asked, annoyed.

"Well we had more for you but..." Catherine hesitated and looked to Adrian for help.

"We don't want to be charged with murder when you freeze to death, so lets go." Adrian laughed and we headed back towards the dorm.

I smiled to myself as the girls walked ahead of me, playfully shoving each other and laughing.

I hadn't really had this at home, after it got out that Kelly and I were a couple, people hated us. Even though we convinced them it was a rumor, they had been exiling us for years.

Now I was scared for Kelly. She wouldn't have anyone to eat lunch with. No one would give her their notes if she was out sick a day. No one would kiss her forehead and tell her it would be okay when anything happened,

I felt a warm hand in mine, startling me from my thoughts.

"You're worried about her." Maggie had a soft, understanding expression.

"She's all alone." I whispered, really realizing it for the first time.

"You know, I had this girlfriend once. She went to Hollis with me. I don't know if you've heard of it?"

I shook my head no.

"Anyway, she moved to some school in West Virginia for her dads job. We broke up because it was just to far of a distance for us. The phone calls could'nt hold us together." Maggie shrugged as she explained.

"This is supposed to make me feel better?" I asked, tearing up.

"Well, I was totally depressed. I stopped talking and my mom said she forgot what my smile looked like. I even cut myself once or twice. So, my parents transferred me here. I got better." she continued to upset me without realizing it.

"You forgot her?" I asked, my breathing picking up a little.

"Yep. But here's the difference between me and what you have with Kelly. That girl, her name was Annie, she was just something familiar. She was comforting, and that's why I loved her, or thought I loved her. You love Kelly on so many different levels. What you feel for her is way deeper, and way stronger than anything I could ever have." she smiled genuinely. "So hang on for dear life." she shot me a freindly laugh, winked, kissed the back of my hand and skipped away.

That night in bed I though about what Maggie had said. I wouldn't let Kelly slip from my mind. I would never forget her. I also thought about what Maggie said, about she could never have that. I felt the need to show her she could, that she deserved it. So that's what I would do.
