Chapter Text
“Finally.. We’re out this fucking school!” Nicole says, walking with Jecka next to her in their gowns.
“Yeah, after the whole talk with Jeffery about whatever he was saying, we’re not going to be seeing him for a long time.” Jecka says to Nicole as they walk.
“Yeah, fuck that nerd. I hope he dies in the ditch somewhere.”
“Yeah.. But now that we’re fully out, what do you plan on doing?”
“Most likely to not go to college, but might go whatever crosses my mind.” Nicole says.
“Well, I was planning on something when it was both of us together after school.”
“And what that might be?”
“A day out after school.”
“Oh sure.”
Jecka only said that because of knowing that Jecka had feelings for the brunette when she first met her at school, in which she became her friend, then her best friend, to her right hand, and now wants to be her lover as her girlfriend, knowing that Nicole doesn’t know that from her perspective because she thought the blonde was her best friend to the very end of their friendship.
But as they stay together throughout their time after, it would click for Nicole to get the right message, but don’t have ideal thoughts on it as much when seeing something coming up to her loses her thoughts on it.
“Nice, what do you think of going?”
“Mall?” Nicole says.
“Yeah. Makes sense.” Jecka agrees to the brunette’s idea of going simply to the mall.
As Nicole and Jecka were going to the mall after a while of not going for a year and a half, until Emily even so decided to interrupt their conversation to either join them or talk up on something to let her minds wander to rot their minds off for what Emily has to say to the girls as they kept walking towards Jecka’s car.
“Hey, y’all! Where are you guys going?” Emily says to them.
“Hey, Emily. And to the mall. What about you?” Jecka says.
“Nothing, just either gonna drink the day off or anything while at the moment.”
“Well, I'm glad for you. Now will let us go and we’ll see you later or something..?”
“Oh sure! Want me to come?”
“You sure? Cause it’s mostly just going to be us two looking around and just doing nothing like we usually do to let the time pass by.”
“Hey, I don’t look like the type who usually drinks as much-”
“Ah- You’re lying on yourself there.”
“No, I’m not! Just let me in the car!” Emily says, opening the door to her car.
“Besides, you look more like the type who has a crack and percocet every time we see you as much.” Jecka says to Emily in the backseat.
“Ok, enough about it, Let’s just go to the mall, Jecka?”
“Yeah, Sorry.”
“Besides, you’ll pay for that later, Jecka.”
“Whatever. Let’s go.” Jecka says.
As they agree to take the idea of going to the mall when Emily decided to come with them with not having anything else to do, Jecka was starting to think of Nicole as she was right next to her while trying to concentrate on the road, but in her thoughts is all going all over about her where she is trying to tell her that she likes her as more than friends, let alone as lovers like Nicole said years ago.
“Alright, so what are we doing here?”
“Whatever the fuck we want, Nicole! What else?!”
“But we just left the school not that long ago, and you want to cause havoc right now?”
“I mean, maybe but let’s not worry about that right now!”
“H-hey!”
Emily-! -sighs- “She’s gonna be gone years later..” Nicole says.
After catching up with Emily and Jecka, they decided to go to the food court in their mall to talk about what they're planning to do after this day is done throughout the times they’ve brought what they wanted here and to the ride home.
“So what’s you guys plans for tomorrow and the rest of today??” Jecka says.
“I have a lot of messages from one of my MS-13 boyfriends that I need to get, so hold that thought when I get back.” Emily says, picking up the phone.
“Ok… then..?”
“Let’s just do it without her, so what’s your plan?”
“Nothing really, aside from being with Emily all the time as she’s my stepmother now. I’ve been wanting to say something to you since after the first day of school.”
While saying on the outside is easy for Jecka to say when it’s only Nicole there, but on the inside is where she’s getting anxious and full of butterflies in her stomach that’s paining her to say it while not knowing how it will affect her in a way that could lead to their end of their friendship or if she’s lucky while trying not overthinking it on the inside of her mind.
“Oh, what that might be from you?”
“Um.. Uh..”
“Come on, spit it out before she comes back.”
“I.. I like–”
Right as she was about to say her feelings, it broke it off when Emily got off the phone and started coming back and continued the conversation when she saw them talking without her.
“Like having you be here with us to bring you along the ride, which I really enjoy.”
“Oh.. I thought it was something else from you.”
“Well, it’s something that I’ve thought of from you.”
“What are we talking about?” Emily asks.
“Just talking about something else that is only for me and Nicole...” Jecka says, grits her teeth.
“Uh... yeah. Just for us.” Nic
“Come on, you can tell me I won’t say anything about it.”
“I don’t think we can trust you with anything that we say about. Remember the last time?”
No, let’s change the subject.”
“Alright then... But you’re going to tell me when we get home.”
“Whatever, Emily... Anyways, let’s talk.”
It’s getting late in the afternoon after talking the life out of their voices for the entirety of the food court to Emily’s annoyance towards them, they drove out till nightfall as fallen upon them when seeing how it has affected them three when going back to their houses to sleep for something that Jecka has told Nicole about for tomorrow.
“Finally, after Emily stopped talking, we got out of the mall...” Jecka says in the driver’s seat.
“Yeah, most of it WAS from Emily.”
“Hey, I’m the one who said the most aside from you guys saying everything else.”
“Yeah, just let me go inside before I have to do something that will have her dead.”
“Ok, but let me talk to you about something that I want us to do.” Jecka said.
“Alright, alright.” Nicole said, getting out of the car.
“So, what is it that you want to talk to me about, cause my mom is gonna fucking tell me to come inside.”
“Well, I was thinking of us going on a picnic tomorrow.” Jecka said, asking her out in a nice way.
“A picnic? What are we fucking 5 years old?” Nicole says.
“Yeah, I know it’s fucking weird and shit, but it’s something that I had in mind when I wanted to talk to you more after in the park.”
-sighs- “If Emily is not there with us then yeah, sure. We can do that.”
“Thanks, Nicole–”
“But don’t expect me to wear anything funny as hell or a sundress of what rich people wear.”
“Don’t worry about that, you’ll be fine–”
“Nicole! Get inside this house now!” Nicole’s mom says inside the house.
“There she goes.. Alright, 9:00am?” Nicole asks.
“Sounds good to me. Night Nicole.” Jecka said.
“Good night Jecka, and fuck you Emily!”
“Fuck you right back!” Emily says.
“Get your head back inside and let’s get back to the house!”
“What did you guys tell each other?”
“None of you goddamn business, bitch! Now sit down!”
“I’m your mother–” Emily says, cut off.
“Stepmother! Now shut up!” Jecka said, driving back home.
