As always, I parked my car in the parking spot right next to the entrance. I was lucky to be part of the cheerleading squad, as that spot was reserved for the captain of the cheerleaders. She lived literally across the street though, so there was no need for her to come by car. Thankfully, I was such a scary and violent person, so the other girls decided that it would be better to leave that spot to me.
As if.
I was merely on good terms with everyone, and no one objected when I asked if I could park there, so that's that. Although I was friendly with everyone, I didn't have many close friends. I liked having my space, so I didn't need the other students to be more than exactly that, fellow students.
I had my two best friends whom I always hung out with at school; I knew both since my early childhood. Then there were also the other girls from the cheer squad, although I wasn't too close to them. Dealing with those five girls was enough for my taste.
Right at that moment, those two best friends in question entered my line of sight; they waited for me at the entrance as usual. We always met in the morning and, most of the time, as we all had the same classes, we were together until the end of the school day.
The chestnut-haired Ida and dirty-blonde-haired Quinn made their way towards me, looking as good as ever. As always, Ida had a cheeky grin that showed her white teeth between the rather full lips of hers, two small dimples forming below her defined cheekbones. I could see her small and pointy jaw move as she seemingly chewed on a piece of gum.
Although I was checking them out, I knew that I would never try to get together with any of them. I knew them since I was four years old, they were even with me when I was sick as a child and couldn't enter school. It was a wonder how the two of them could be a year younger than me, as they were like older sisters to me.
The voice of a smirking Ida pulled me out of my thoughts, "Checking us out as usual, Brea?"
"In your dreams, Ida," I answered smiling, "but as this is the last day of school, I didn't really put much effort into my appearance, I was just making sure that you two don't look better than me."
"Yeah right. You know as well as me that this..." Ida pointed at me, "can never compare to this, nor that."
I watched as her piercing green eyes first looked at her own, then at Quinn's body. And as much as I wanted to disagree, she was right. Body wise I only had one advantage to Ida and Quinn, and that was my chest. But they worked out more than me, so although I did have an excellent body, I was a cheerleader after all, I definitely couldn't compare my legs, abs, and ass to them.
"Ida, don't think so high and mighty of yourself; Brea still is the most popular among us and has an angelic face that you could only dream of," Quinn finally added to the conversation, while poking my face with her index finger. The natural stern look of her light grey eyes combined with the calm tone of Quinn's voice gave off a mature vibe, her rather wide jaw with the round chin and the type of makeup she used on her thin lips and flat cheeks further enhanced that.
"Whatever..." said Ida while starting towards our first class. Quinn cleared up the discussion with only one sentence, which happened quite often. She was the only person who Ida for some reason didn't dare to talk back to. Following that victory, we made our way to class. We took our usual seats and waited for the bell to ring.
As this was our last day before summer break, the teachers went easy on us and only talked about light topics, letting time pass as quickly as possible.
All of our exams were finished a week ago, so the whole last week was pure relaxation most of the time. And to make things even better, school ended after fourth lesson on Friday.
Right when the last teacher started packing his things, most people form class started storming out into the hallway which was full of students. We three also packed our bags and got ready to leave class.
We only made a few steps out of the room when three guys suddenly blocked our way. Then one of them started talking, "Hey babes, we are invited to that exclusive party at the mansion today. You know how hard it is to get in there, right? If you three behave and give us a nice compensation afterward, you may come with us as our dates."
All of us were stunned by what he said, but after a moment started laughing. The way he "invited" us, and the indecent gestures he did while speaking the word "compensation" were both ridiculous, and I was wondering if there were actually girls out there that would say yes to this.
We started walking again and while passing them, Ida stopped and said, "Just... ew." before continuing to walk alongside us.
As the summer holidays came closer, the number of guys that hit on us increased drastically. I always wondered if they just wanted to show off their muscular bodies to us, or if they wanted to show up with good looking girls by their side, but either way, I wasn't interested.
Strangely, Quinn and Ida also didn't seem to be interested. I hadn't thought about that before, but once I started thinking about it, my head didn't want to let go of it. They never mentioned any relationships, only Ida told us a few stories about her sex life now and then.
As we were walking, I was wondering how the plans for summer would look like. We were about to discuss that in the last cheer meeting, which would be held in about fifteen minutes. I was guessing we would have practice two or three times a week, that's how it had been every year.
While walking down the hall, some students greeted us or wished us a nice summer break, while some of the younger ones just stood there, almost staring at us like they had never seen a girl before.
The thought of Ida and Quinn not being interested in any of the guys still didn't want to leave my head, and my curiosity showed on my face.
"What are you thinking about?" Quinn broke the silence that was accompanying us the whole way.
"Why aren't you interested in any of the guys?" I asked them after thinking for a while, "Do you have boyfriends or something?"
"Well..." Quinn hesitated for a moment, then continued a bit unsure, "Yeah, I have a boyfriend."
"You have what!?" Ida yelled while both of us stopped in surprise. Now even the students that weren't staring at us turned to look in our direction.
"Sorry..." Ida mumbled while looking around the hallway. We quickly continued to the meeting, then Quinn explained a bit further.
"Yes, I have a boyfriend, but it was pretty on and off between us, and now he's in university overseas in Japan till winter. I don't really know how things are between us," she confessed, "Officially, we are still together, and we talk on the phone pretty often, but it feels so... distant..."
"Well duh, of course it feels distant, he is in Japan, Silly," responded Ida in a mocking voice, then continued sounding a bit sad, "but why didn't you tell us?"
"Enough about me, what about you, Ida? Why don't you go out with any of these guys?" Quinn answered, sounding like she really didn't want to talk about her boyfriend.
"That... is... a secret," Ida said quietly while shifting her face away from us.
"Oh, come on, we are best friends you know, you can tell us," said a slightly annoyed Quinn.
Ida looked around if anyone else could hear, and when the hallway around us got empty, she started explaining, "Ok... the thing is, I don't do relationships. I like having fun with people... if you know what I mean."
Then she continued with an embarrassed smirk on her face, "But that's it, I don't want to be bound to anyone. There is only one person that I'd want to be together with, but that's not possible, so I deal with things this way. And of course, I don't want the other students to know that I sleep around with people I barely know, so I don't go out with anyone from school."
"Why are you two hiding these things from me? I feel left out!" I replied. Ida's revelation was unexpected, but it made sense somehow. At least I had a feeling that it did. I didn't really know; I wouldn't sleep with someone I didn't love. But I wasn't one to talk, I had never even kissed anyone.
I kinda wanted to know who Ida's "one person" was, but I was in no position to ask stuff like that.
I glanced over at Quinn and was surprised to see that she didn't look shocked at all. Then she stated, "Well it's not like I knew about this. I did expect something like this though. I mean, you told us different stories about your sex life, but never mentioned any relationships."
Although I thought of that thing shortly before, I didn't make that conclusion myself. Quinn continued, "But I wonder... 'people?' Why not say guys? Could it be that-"
Ida interrupted her, "Yes, I have slept with girls, okay? Like I said, I can't be together with that one single person I do have feelings for, and now you know why."
I didn't know if I had ever been that shocked in my whole life. I couldn't hide my astonishment anymore, speaking, "Never in my life would I have expected for you to be gay."
"I'm not gay, I'm actually bi," corrected Ida with a small voice, seemingly embarrassed and a bit scared. She was probably afraid of being rejected by us. We never talked about our opinion on this kind of things, so it was understandable that she was nervous. But for me, it was an excellent opportunity to see what it would be like coming out to these two. Not that I was planning on doing that anytime soon.
"I assume it's not a simple thing to admit something like that to people you are close to, but be sure, I love you just as much as before, Sis," Quinn reassured her. The two of them called each other "Sis" or "Sister" now and then, they started doing that somewhere in elementary school.
"Yes, this won't change a thing between us," I spoke.
"But why would that keep you from being together with your crush? Maybe she's into girls," continued Quinn.
"I don't think so... I recently found out that she has a boyfriend now, so things aren't looking good..." responded Ida, her voice sounding soft and strained. For a moment, uncomfortable silence accompanied us, no one knowing how to get away from this topic. Then suddenly the grin returned to the ever-smirking girl's face and she continued, "Anyway, there is something else we need to discuss. We told you why we don't show any interest in these guys, but what about you Brea? You are the most popular one of us, after all."
That question made me nervous, and I felt my heart beat faster. I wasn't prepared for that. I wasn't ready to come out to anyone, not even to those two. Luckily, I had an excuse which I used in cases like that. So, I replied, while showing them my bracelet, "As I told you before, I can't get my childhood love out of my head... It's not possible for me to go out with someone else."
"Still clinging to that cute little story about your crush, huh? After all that we admitted to you just now?" Quinn emphasized and made me feel bad by saying that, "But I don't care, you'll admit the truth whenever you feel ready... eventually."
With that, Quinn turned around and went in the direction of the cheer meeting.
