Triple X

Chapter Fourteen

This week of school was an absolute nightmare and such a drag.

It was Friday now and I wanted nothing more to be cuddled up in bed with Amélie and Sienna. By the way things were going, we probably could be cuddling but I expect an argument that seems to be brewing and lots of questions. I was fine with that. I would deal with the consequences.

Lily and I had our presentation due in a few days. I would check in with her this weekend to make sure everything was ok. As in, with the project.

I don't know. I'm just kinda over it all. And I'm not sure blaming this on anyone will work out in my favour realistically .

On the other hand, I was also getting the silent treatment from my girlfriends.
That was a crazy sentence to say but I was getting used to it.

If you remember clearly, silence isn't one of their things. So I can confirm that I did feel like I was walking on eggshells due to uncertainty around the entire thing.

To make a long story short, I saw the girls the next morning when they picked me up as usual. I had spent at least ten minutes in the mirror trying to convince myself that this could be easily explained or dodged or something. I was panicking a bit honestly but there was no time for that. That morning as I walked out the house, I realised that I wouldn't have control over this situation for a while. The backseat was empty. That was far from normal.

Sienna needed to be attached to me the entire drive to school. It was just her thing.

"Hey..."

Silence.

I'm pretty sure they had both heard me and just completely ignored my existence. I mean, at least they're picking me up. I closed the door and moved over to sit in the middle so that I could see them both clearly.

No emotions really.

Amélie pulled out of the parking and the drive began. It was silent at first and I was okay with that. Maybe a little tense but I fucked up and I was fully aware of it.

About 3 minutes into the drive, they had started a conversation that I couldn't join even if I tried.

Did I mention that they could understand and speak each other's language?

Yh. That was also a thing. It could've been about me and I would have zero idea. It didn't bother me as much as it should. It was just another factor that made them one person instead of two.

They carried on their conversation causally without paying me any attention. I deserved it fully. I know that but it just made the ride feel ten times longer than it actually was. When we finally pulled into the school's parking lot, I waited for a bit to see if they would address me but they both grabbed their stuff and began to get out, so of course I followed as I always do.

They held hands as they walked through the hallway towards the lockers. Since I wasn't in the loop and didn't have instructions, I walked past them so I could get to my own locker. I luckily had Expressive Writing with Sienna only. It was a stupid two hour class where we had to write a short paper on whatever topic our teacher decided to place on the board that day before leaving us alone. It was stupid like I said but it was basically a free two hour break since your paper was due the next class anyway. Honestly, no complaints. If I could get anyone to speak to me first, it would be her. I walked back towards them. Our class was that way anyways whilst Amélie would have to go the other way. Perfect. Splitting them up is kinda my only hope.

They give each other a quick kiss before Amélie glared at me and strutted down the hallway.

Well I definitely knew who was going to be the harder nut to crack.
