Slumped half-asleep at her desk Nina wasn't even pretending to listen to the teacher anymore, when in real life was she ever going to use any of this rubbish they were trying to teach her?
Chewing on the end of her pen She rested her head on the window next to her while she looked out across the classroom, smiling slightly as she realised just how bored everyone else looked, well majority of them anyway. There were the usual cluster near the front who were apparently enthralled by the lesson. She looked over towards Amy and Madison, each as far away from her as the teacher could have placed them. Oh well, it wasn't as if they needed to be next to each other to communicate. It was obvious they were just as bored as she was.
The loud thump as Madison stamped her foot and stood up jerked Nina back to reality somewhat, stopping her daydream and reminding her that she should be paying some attention. She smiled slightly as she realised what was going on, and quickly gathered up her unopened text book and tucked it inside her small shoulder bag, wondering for the hundredth time why she had even bothered getting it out, before leaving the classroom without a second glance back.
Outside in the corridor the three girls stood side by side, each strikingly different, one with black hair, one with red and one blonde. Looking towards each other and nodding them strode off down the hallway, scattering other pupils out of their way.
Once clear of the looming school building and in the company of some other friends Nina and Madison cuddled in close to each other, watching the rest of the group pair up, Amy with Christian and such like. There was the usual exchange of banter, the girls talking about who was the better looking, and Amy chiding Madison for her early exit from class to which Madison could only reply with a line about all publicity being good publicity.
Closing her eyes for the briefest of seconds Nina took a moment to just feel Madison's arms around her, the way their bodies seemed to fit together. This was something that noone else had ever been able to give her, but that most of the gang were happy with. This casual touching, none of them were afraid to kiss, to touch, because every knew it wouldn't go any further between them if they didn't want it to, everyone knew that if you pushed too hard you'd answer to the rest of the gang.
She sighed as Madison moved away, dropping behind the rest of the gang to reach for the flask in her back pack, grimacing as she took a large mouthful, but as Nina looked up and saw Amy and Christian walking away she hurried to catch up, leaving Madison to her own devices. It was almost routine, nobody is perfect, and alcohol was Madison's imperfection, but it only made her character stronger, more interesting. At least she wasn't trying to be someone she wasn't, like so many of the others at their school.
As they entered the park Nina reached up to untie her hair, letting it blow about in the wind, it was almost a trigger for her. Here she could actually be herself, she wasn't worrying about anything, she wasn't trying to figure out who she was going to have to argue with next, and already she could feel the tension slipping out of her. With all the gang here everyone could just relax and enjoy each other's company. Some more than others. Her eyes flickered back to Madison, watching her intently, using her hair to shield her eyes so it wasn't as obvious as it could have been. Everyone knew there had been something between Madison and Amy at least once, but more and more Nina found herself wishing that she could have been in Amy's place. The odds were if she really wanted to, Madison wouldn't say no, but the hard part was getting the courage up to find out.
Xander was waiting for them in the park, his leather jacket blowing around him slightly in the wind. Nina smiled as Dusk's face lit up and she pressed herself against him, and he wrapped his arms around her. They were such a perfect couple.
Madison slowly caught up with them and once again came to stand at Nina's back, her arms around her waist, her on her shoulder, breath on her neck.
"Are you coming to Gothika with me tonight?" She purred, gently kissing the side of Nina's neck. "Amy and Christian are going, I will be all by myself otherwise."
Nina pulled away slightly so she could turn around and face the other girl, her eyes roaming over her, truly appreciating her outfit for the first time that day. Her lace up satin skirt fit tightly over her hips and thighs before flaring away to her feet. Laced up tight it showed off every curve and left nothing to be imagined. The skirt was coupled with a red satin top with a delicate heart neckline, laced up sides and fantastic bell sleeves that fluttered in the breeze. Her blonde, almost white hair reached the middle of her back, almost perfectly straight apart from a few kinks and waves here and there.
Nina knew she didn't have the striking beauty of Madison, but also knew she attracted her own fair share of attention. Her deep auburn hair stopped just short of her shoulders, framing her pale face, she could easily let it fall to cover her deep brown eyes, hiding herself from view as she surreptitiously looked the other girl over. Her black, satin, flared skirt hugged her hips before falling gracefully to the floor and her tight, black velvet, cropped top encased her breasts and left her flat stomach and belly button piercing on display.
"Of course" She replied eventually, takings Madison's hands in hers "I couldn't leave you to attract just anyone's attention could I?
