1Chapter Three: Doubt Among Friends
Author's Notes: I'm glad that my fanfic has been as well-received as it has been! I'll do my best with it!
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
The bus stop Eerie and Verra took to Zondaar High School was the same one used by their friends Leon Slecht, Offe Rande, Kimmy Trouw, Ivan Nutteloos, and Voedsel Kind. Both of the girls showed up sweating bullets, just waiting for someone to accuse them of having screwed.
Of course, no one did. Offe and Ivan talked about homework, Leon and Kimmy were talking about music, and Voedsel was talking to Verra about weekend plans, so Eerzuchtig was left with her own thoughts.
She certainly didn't regret the choice she had made, but living with it was undeniably going to be an adjustment. She was fairly certain that her friends wouldn't think less of her- even the extremely religious Kimmy loved them both dearly, and would have been happy if they were happy. But there was no denying that this new direction was not one she had wanted, and if it ended badly, what if Verra hated her? Eerzuchtig almost idolized Verra: her style of dress took many, many cues from the older girl, and she had prized the doll-like way Verra often physically treated her, undeniable affection and approval from her role model.
Meeting your heroes was something she had always done, but fucking them was quite another, and Eerie was very tense. Almost unthinkingly, she stepped back into Verra, who automatically held her and stroked her hair. Only then did the raven-haired girl feel even the slightest bit more relaxed.
O Jesus, I think I'm in love with Verra, Eerzuchtig thought. Her very closest, best friend, who she was physically and emotionally very free with, who she had sex with. What was that if not a loving relationship?
At school, her mind was no less troubled. This was a very, very important friendship, and she worried that she might be handling it wrong, or that she was denying the basic fact that she was in love with Verra. She'd never really found anyone attractive before, but how would she know? Was there some internal diagnostic that would let her know?
She had most of her classes with Verra, and the two already sat together. The many, deeply loving looks the blonde was giving Eerie didn't help her figure out what to do at all.
I'm sunk, Eerzuchtig thought miserably.
She and Verra, mostly Verra, hadn't made up their minds as to whether they should tell the others or not. If she did, it was going to be after school, when they were all together. What to do?
