Chapter 1.

Michelle stormed up to Tea at her locker, "I can't believe you fucked Tony."

"What?" Tea asked, holding back a smile, "We didn't fuck okay. He was trying to prove he was match for me and we kissed and that's it. I laughed at the whole thing and I'm guessing his pride got hurt, so now he's using you to lash out at me."

"Okay, what the hell were you doing with him in the first place?"

"It's a long story and it has nothing to do with us, it's our families. I know it sounds bad, but my dad sort of asked me to date the son of someone he does business with. When I got there it turns out Tony is the son. We spent the night talking and then I guess he wanted to prove he get have sex with anyone, so he made a move on me."

"And you let him?"

"I've been looking for someone who was interesting, who could match me and I thought maybe he was that person, but he wasn't." Tea explained, but with Michelle still giving her the evil eye, she knew she had to be a bit more convincing. "Seriously, I wasn't into him at all. I was into the 'idea' that he might be my equal, but that's not true, because I want a girl, not a boy."

"I still don't like that you kissed him. I thought we were friends."

"I know and I'm sorry. It should never have happened." Tea said, doing her best to reassure her friend. "I'm telling you that I have no interest in Tony at all. None. He's a friend and that's all it ever will be."

"I want to believe you, but all the girls want Tony." Michelle said, "It's hard enough dealing with all my insecurities, but I don't need to worry about you hooking up with him to."

Tea leaned in and put her hand on Michelle's arm, "I totally get why you're upset, but I'm not a threat to you and Tony."

Finally able to relax, Michelle shifted from angry to curious in a millisecond, "Okay, but I have to ask, why would you think he was a match? If you like girls, I've always wondered why you never hit on me. Am I not your type?"

"Don't go there." Tea said with a sigh, quickly turning away from Michelle.

"Why not?" Michelle asked, turning Tea around to face her, "I've seen you flirt with Daisy and I saw you kissing Betty and countless other girls, but you don't even look at me half the time. Am I really that repulsive to you?"

Tea shook her head and rolled her eyes, "There's no way this conversation is going to end well so drop it."

"I think you owe me an answer after making out with my boyfriend." Michelle said, folding her arms in front of her chest to further enhance her point.

"Fine, but just remember I didn't want to do this." Tea said, making sure she had her disclaimer in place before she continued, "The problem isn't that you're repulsive, it's the opposite. I think you're beautiful, smart, sexy and funny and I hate that you're with Tony. I know we can never be together, but I guess the selfish part of me doesn't want you to be with anyone."

Michelle stared at Tea for a few seconds before a smile crossed her pretty face, "Are you just messing with me?"

"No, that's the truth." Tea said firmly.

"Why do you assume I'm not interested?"

Tea shook her head at Michelle's question, "Um, the fact you have your tongue in Tony's mouth every time I walk into the room is my first clue."

"Well, I had an image to keep up, but you know what, in a small way I was trying to make you jealous."

"Okay, now who's messing with who?" Tea asked with a smile.

"I don't get the whole lesbian thing, but that doesn't mean I don't find you interesting." Michelle said, not taking her eyes off Tea, "You're like a female version of Tony, only with less of an ego. We get along well and maybe I've always wondered what it would be like to be another girl."

"Stop right there." Tea said, changing her stance from uneasy to upset, "I'm not going to be your little project. If you want to explore your bi curiosity find another straight girl to do it with."

"Hey, why are you mad?" Michelle questioned, "You don't want relationships with girls anyway, so I thought this would be perfect."

"Well, you were wrong." Tea stated emphatically, "Do you even understand how weird it would be for us if we did have sex? Do think you Tony wouldn't find out? He would, then what? Then it would cause more problems. It would probably ruin our friendship and I don't have many friends, so no thanks, I'm not going to do it."

"What if saying no ruins us?"

"Oh come on Michelle, that's just stupid." Tea said with a laugh, "We're fine just the way things are. Why don't you talk to Daisy about this, because she has some of the same thoughts as you. You could help each other out."

"I like Daisy, but I like you a lot more." Michelle said, sliding in a little too close to Tea, "There's something about you that I can't get out of my head. You're not like other girls. You're sexy without even trying. I wonder how many boys would be interested in me if I didn't show off my breasts all the time."

"Well, they are quite impressive." Tea said with a smile.

"You know what I mean." Michelle grinned, "Even Tony looks at them before he looks me in the eyes. But, you're not that obvious. You look me in the eye first and then you look at my breasts. It's a subtle thing, but I like it." Michelle smiled as Tea couldn't help but have another look at her cleavage.

After taking another look at Michelle's breasts, Tea quickly looked Michelle in the eyes again, "We aren't going to have sex Michelle."

"Never say never." Michelle said with a sexy smile as she turned and walked away. Tea couldn't help but watch and smile at Michelle's ass as she walked away in her short, short skirt.

Tea's bedroom.

Tea lay on her bed, still daydreaming about Michelle, wondering how she never picked up on any signals from her over the years. Her cell phone brought her back to reality and she reached over and picked it up. She groaned at the sight of Tony's name flashing on her screen, but flipped on her phone and lay back down, "What do you want?"

"I heard about your talk with Michelle and I see you told her your version of the night's events and now are filling her head with your lesbian ideas? That needs to stop. Stay away from Michelle. She's not into girls so just stay away."

"You don't tell me what to do Tony." Tea said, quickly sitting up in her bed, "Why are you acting like this? Is it because of what happened after we kissed? I'm sorry I laughed. I probably shouldn't have, but that's how silly it felt. I'm not into you. It doesn't matter if we match up mentally, because I'm not just into guys. Would you stop being mad for a second and remember that we're friends."

"We were friends." Tony snapped, "Do think we're going to be friends if you try and take Michelle from me?"

"Oh god, she's just curious." Tea said, confused by Tony's paranoia, "Stop worrying about it. She's with you. I told her that."

"No, she's different. I can see it in her eyes. Whatever you two talked about has her thinking things that she shouldn't be thinking. She's not a lesbian. Stop trying to make everyone a lesbian."

"Yep, like I have that kind of power. I'm good Tony, but I'm not that good." Tea said with a bewildered sigh.

"You make jokes about everything don't you?"

"So do you." Tea shot back, "We're a lot alike, that's why we get along so well. But I'm not trying to steal your girlfriend so just back off."

"I know everyone in school and I pretty much know everything you two talked about because of that. Michelle is mad at me already for kissing you, so that's the only reason she's even talking to you. She wants to use you to get back at me."

"That makes no sense. She should want to poke my eyes out not put her tongue in my mouth."

Tony shrugged, "Well, she's upset, she's not thinking straight, but she is straight, just so you know."

"Yes, so you keep telling me. I get it, Michelle isn't into me. Okay, message received, now is that all?" Tea asked, not hiding her annoyance at the conversation.

"Don't ruin things okay, stay away and we won't have any problems."

"Wait a minute. Are you saying we can't even hang out? You, me, Michelle? We're not friends now?"

"I don't think it's a good idea for us to hang out for now." Tony said, "If this blows over then maybe we can see, but I don't want to be around you right now."

"That's ridiculous." Tea said, flabbergasted by Tony's stubbornness, "Michelle is still my friend. I'm not going to stop seeing her, so you better find a way to deal with it."

"Don't push this Tea. You know I don't lose."

"You don't lose because you haven't gone against me before, but if you push this…just don't okay."

"I have to go now." Tony said, quickly ending the call with Tea.

Tea slammed her cell phone down on her bed and rolled over and buried herself in her blankets.
