Denial

I'm idly scrolling through my phone as I wait when the screen changes and a picture of my brother sleeping with his stuffed hippo graces the screen. I smile at the photo and slide my finger across the little green symbol answering his phone call. Already expecting it I pull the phone a couple of inches away from my ear,

"You better be lying dead in a ditch fucker! I did not drag myself out of bed and get here as soon as the fucking school doors opened just so you can get here fucking late!" He yells

"Yeah Mikes, Hell has great reception."

"Stop. Just don't. Your jokes fucking suck."

"To answer your previous statement I'm obviously not dead and I'm still waiting outside Cindy's house, that's why we're late."

"What the fuck, what the hell is she doing in there?! Tell her to hurry the fuck up! I mean it because Bob and Frank are getting pretty fucking handsy with each other," I hear movement on the other end of the phone and hear Mikey shout out, "Bob, Frank stop! You guys are grossing out the freshman!"

I faintly hear something like a "Fuck off Way!"

Mikey scoffs as he makes sure I'm still on the line, "I'm gonna have to start charging passerbyers if these two get any more into it."

"Charging…?" I ask him a bit confused.

"Come on Gerard this is America! You don't get to watch live gay sex for free. Especially one that takes place in a high school, that's like prime wanking material for all the perverts!"

I roll my eyes despite the fact that he can't see me. Looking torwards the front door I see it open and Cindy step out and then step back in obviously forgetting her backpack.

"Mikey, it looks as if she's finally ready to go. So I'll see you in a few, bye."

I hang up before he says goodbye and start the engine as Cindy comes running down the steps practically throwing herself into the passenger seat.

"Sorry I'm late! My alarm wasn't working and my hair was being a stuck up bitch and this is just not my fucking morning." She rushes out as she tries to catch her breath.

"Don't worry the only one bitching about it is Mikey, because I made him get up early to wait for Frank and Bob so we could know exactly where they're going to be at."

"Okay well you should start driving so we can get there at least before the first bell rings right?" She says brushing her bangs out of her eyes.

"Yes ma'am." I drawl in a ill atempt of a southern accent. Pressing down on the gas I take off in the direction of the school.

*itty bitty time lapse*

"Can you guys look anymore awkward? I can practically see the sweat dripping from your hands." Mikey says as we meet up with him at the schools entrance. Looking down at mine and Cindy's hands clasped togerher I pull my hand from hers and wipe off the sweat that had gathered on my palm.

"I told you the holding hands thing looked weird!", she says irritated. Without warning she molds herself into my right side and puts her left hand into my back pocket while guiding my right hand into hers. Before I feel a full blush appear on my cheeks she turns to me ,

"Don't you start blushing now, this has to look as natural as possible and you're gonna ruin it if they see you as red as a fucking tomato,"

I nod and calm myself down by imagining that my hand was on her back and not her butt which was pretty difficult to do since it was placed exactly on the curve of her ass. Mikey takes a step back, with arms crossed as he studies us with squinted eyes.

"It's a little weird for me to see but I think you guys actually look kind of cute together. A little bit of an odd couple but still 'cute'." He says slowly, "Anyway lets get this freakshow on the road you two!"

Cindy looks at me with a quirked eyebrow as we watch my brother skip down the hallway to where Frank and Bob were standing too busy talking to each other to have noticed us. I see Bob lean in to kiss Fank and that's when I feel my feet start to move without my consent, my blood boiling with jealousy I all but drag Cindy beside me as I go down the hall.

I feel her stop beside me and bring me out of my jealous haze as she stops me in my footsteps, about fifteen steps away from Frank and Bob.

"What are you doing?" She hisses at me, "Are you planning on just marching up to them!?"

"No, I just, uh, I..."

"Look I know seeing them together gets under your skin but you need to get yourself together. Okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I know."

"So like I said we can't just stroll up to them so obviously. Hmm....", scrunching up her forehead she hums while she thinks. Her top teeth sinking into a corner of her pink bottom lip. The way she does it makes me think of Frank and the way he bites his lip when he's trying to figure something out or hold back some kind of emotion. It makes me think about how everytime he does that it makes me want to kiss him even more.

From the corner of my eye I see Frank turn to look at us and then turn back to Bob. Gesturing his head in our direction, like in a "lets go over there" manner. Panicing and without thinking about it, but loud enough for them to hear, I let the most generic words fall from my mouth as I pull her close to me.

"Cin? "

"Uh, yeah?" She says as she wiggles against my embrace.

"You look so pretty when you bite your lip like that."

I feel her go rigid as my lips move against hers, her softness contrasting with my cracked ones. I concentrate on keeping my tongue inside my own mouth as she starts to kiss back. Little samples of her peach chapstick making its way into my mouth giving our awkward kiss a sweet taste.

"Cool it on the PDA you guys, gay or straight, it still grosses me the fuck out." Detaching myself from her I look to my right where Mikeys voice had come from to see him hanging off a bewildered looking Frank and a red faced Bob.

Letting her go from my arms I turn to them, trying to act like a bashful fool in the early stages of love, scratching at my head with a slight grin on my face I let out a quiet "Sorry."

Cindy giggles and raises her hand over her mouth as a slight blush spreads across her cheeks. She reaches for my hand and intertwines our fingers as she leans her head against my shoulder, a slight embarassed smile gracing her lips.

Fuck, this girl deserves the Oscar, no way am I that convincing.

"Why are you dating her?" Bob grits out between clenched teeth, a tone of jealousy weaving it's way into his voice.

"Bob!" Frank hissed, looking at Bob in suprised confusion, as he wrestled his hand from his tightening fist.

I was ecstatic at his reaction but I couldn't let it show. Instead I try to pull on an offended face as I defend the fake relationship between me and my quasi-girlfriend.

"What's it to you?"

"I just want to fucking know, why her?"

Cindy turns her face into my shoulder trying to make it seem like she's trying to hide out of nerves but I can feel her smile agaist my skin. I let anger take over my features,

"Look Bob, I didn't get to comment on who you dated", I say through clenched teeth, " and you sure as hell don't get to comment on my relationship with Cindy. So get off you fucking high horse and mind your own fucking business!"

He's no longer red in the face but you can totally tell from his eyes that he wants to rip out my heart. I look from his face to Frank's who looks even more confused at Bob's reaction to Cindy. I decide walking away is the best solution here and do just that.

When we're a few feet away Cindy kisses me on the cheek and she whispers in my ear, "You were great! This is going to be so easy." She says smiling.

I can only hope she's right.
