Chapter 2
Introduction to the real Jill's world
*
I did as Kelly had suggested. Not a bad idea at all. A smile and a 'hi Dad' and up the stairs to a nice hot bath in my very own jacuzzi tub. She was right, it felt awesome.
It was nice to relax. It was still early really. It was only around 10:00. A nice hour here and a quick check of my phone and I could sleep very soundly. Maybe even with a smile on my face. I fought the urge, and it was an overpowering one, to just go to sleep in the tub and went downstairs in a towel to kiss my dad goodnight.
And I gave Kelly a big hug and a thank you for taking me shopping and went up to bed.
My phone was charged to full. I turned it on and cringed at what I saw. It was as bad as Julie had told me. If I thought Saturday was bad, apparently Sunday Farin really went off on me, then apologized, then begged, then cursed me. I understood the emotional roller coaster, I'd been on one for too long and was happy to ... maybe, be getting off it for a while.
I guess tomorrow would tell.
Intermingled in the one hundred and fifty-seven messages from Farin, were a few others.
JILL: 11:00: IF YOUR PHONE IS STILL ON, TEXT ME RIGHT AWAY
JULIE: 9:17: HEY CARRIE, I'M GOING TO BED, GOODNIGHT SEE YOU TOMORROW
And one from Sue referring to how hot my daddy's girlfriend is, but ugh. I should have known it would get back to them. I decided to go ahead and reply.
To Julie just
GOODNIGHT JULES CALL ME IN THE AM IF YOU WANT A RIDE
And to Jill,
I JUST TURNED MY PHONE ON MISTRESS
And then, because it's who I am,
HOW MAY I BE OF SERVICE?
And I knew I was being a smart ass. It wasn't mean spirited in any way. But, I knew she would know I was being a smart ass.
JILL: SHOULDN'T YOU BE IN BED? I WILL TALK TO YOU TOMORROW
JILL: LET ME KNOW IF FARIN GIVES YOU TOO MUCH TROUBLE IN SCHOOL
CARRIE: GOODNIGHT MISTRESS I WILL MISTRESS
And sleep came very fast and easy. And it was a sound sleep.
The next morning, I didn't bother to shower. I had taken a long enough bath last night to be clean, so I just had to fuss with my hair for a while and decide what to wear. I really needed to unpack some more boxes. Maybe I would have some time tonight.
So, I grabbed ... yep, a pair of SHORTS and ... oh no, didn't put them on until I reached in my bag that Kelly had left by the bed, and put on a pair of white bikini panties. And oh my god!
My vagina was singing praises to me. It said, thank you Carrie for covering me up. But it said it in song.
(Just in case you are too literal, my vagina did not actually sing)
And then, before I pulled on my Inigo Montoyo T shirt "You keep using that word.... I do not think it means what you think it means" I put on a bra. And my tits were all pumped up and thrilled about it. I knew it was coming off at school, but for the moment... yeah, my shit was wrapped up in underwear!
And I was in underwear heaven!
It was even just simple, plain, sensible underwear. Nothing even sexy about it. But ... well, go without for a week and see how much you miss it. I went two weeks.
And with a pair of socks and my Converse tenners, I was bouncing downstairs, without a care in the world.
Dad was already gone to beat traffic. Kelly was sipping coffee and wearing pjs and a robe. I joined her with a glass of OJ and a slice of unbuttered toast. Yeah, I skipped the butter even though I wasn't on the squad and wouldn't have to hear Rebecca bitching about my flabby belly anymore. Which, believe me, wasn't like I was sporting a muffin top, I just didn't work out like they did, so I wasn't all toned.
She asked how I slept. We didn't mention my accident at the mall. And I gave her a kiss on the cheek on my way out the door, with my bookbag over my shoulder.
And then, as the front door closed behind me, I shook my head. I kissed her. Weird. Never would have seen that coming. I'd try to make sure it didn't happen again.
I checked my phone. Farin, Farin, Farin, Farin, Farin...
Ahh Julie!
JULIE: CHAD'S PICKING ME UP SEE YOU THERE
CARRIE: K
Chad.
And there it was.
The ... what do older people say? The green monster?
I blew it off, but the pang of jealousy was there. That was my Julie to take to school, not his. But, she wasn't.
Radio... on.... Loud...
And I was singing along with every song I knew and absolutely LOVING my car. I felt like a new person. Maybe it was the orgasm. Maybe it was that DARLA wasn't written in the crack of my ass. Maybe it was that I hadn't masturbated shy of an orgasm five times, or given myself an enema, or even checked my pubic hair in days. Yes, more than one day had passed since I'd done all that!
But, I was in an awesome mood. I pulled into school, kind of early because traffic hadn't been terribly hateful and I had left in time to pick up Julie. And I cranked up the volume as high as it would go and damn if my old posse didn't show up!
Sarah, Gina, Cat and Jen all came over to see me. I felt instantly guilty because I had been blowing them off so much with my other commitments. And I apologized and hugged them all and swore that now that I got kicked off the cheerleading team, things would be better.
We had chatted a little, it's not like there was animosity. It was just me distancing myself from people I liked so I didn't have to explain all the things that were happening to me. They all jumped in, Cat in front, and I made the car chirp and jump and then burned a little rubber in the parking lot. And that was when Mr. Brine, the principal, started walking over to my car with a frown. And I shut it off.
"Sorry Mr. Brine, it won't happen again." I called out through the window.
He shook his head and went back to the school. We rocked out in the car for another song and went inside. On the way to class, I excused myself to the bathroom, remembering that I had to take my bra off. I went to a different bathroom than the one I used to meet Farin in just in case.
I went in the stall and reached back to unhook it, took it off through my T shirt arm and stuck it in my bag. Then I headed into Miss Galler's class.
Julie was there, talking to Chad and he kissed her goodbye just about when I was walking up.
"Hey Chad." I greeted him.
"Oh, hey Carrie." He waved, and grabbed another quick kiss on his way down the hall.
"So who's doing the PDA now?" I asked her as we walked into the classroom.
And my heart sank as we walked in the door. Farin was a wreck. Rebecca was talking to her in a hushed but apparently upset whisper. She looked like hell. Like someone who hadn't seen a hair brush in a couple of days, or showered, or washed a single tear from their face. She moved towards me when I walked in and Rebecca pushed her back forcefully.
"No..."Rebecca whispered, though I could hear her. "You are not going to do this Farin. If you need a day off, let's go ditch school. I will go with you."
She was crying. I looked at her and quickly tore my eyes away before she could rope me in. Julie moved into my line of sight so I couldn't see her, nor her me.
"Carrie... please!" Farin screamed at the top of her voice.
"Fucking awesome!" Rebecca yelled. And tried to push her outside.
"I should talk to her." I looked at Julie, my happy morning blown to shit. I was feeling those tear ducts again.
Julie grabbed my hand and squeezed it hard. "No! You should not talk to her. There is nothing you two need to say to each other right now. It needs to calm down." And she said it loud enough for Farin to hear it too.
"Carrie, you know this is wrong!" Farin yelled and pushed at Rebecca, but Rebecca, I got to say, is a pretty strong bitch.
And then Courtney jumped in. "Oh boy! What fun!" She laughed and smiled at me as she headed back to help Rebecca control Farin. Courtney wasn't even in this class, so I guess Rebecca called for back up.
"What are you in love with Julie now?!" Farin screamed at me. "Just throw me away like garbage?!"
"Farin, come on sweetie, this is not the right place." Courtney tried to calm her down.
"LOOK AT ME YOU BITCH!" Farin screamed at the top of her voice and the whole classroom looked at her. And then they looked at me.
"Farin, please stop." I begged her. "Please stop this."
Julie held my hand tight, not letting me get up.
And that was when Miss Galler walked in. She looked at the mess that was her classroom and spoke above the din. "Farin, please come out in the hall with me." She said as she walked back out the door.
Farin, went though everyone could hear her sobbing.
