Happy Birthday

"Hehehe stoooppp" a caramel skinned girl with curly hair and freckles on the bridge of her face in a school uniform said in a steaming giddy state.

Running her hands down her best friends back as she was being pressed against a wall in the school bathroom and kisses were peppered down her neck she bit her lower lip in bliss.

"Shhh Ari come on my baby just turned twenty, we gotta celebrate" a red haired girl with piercing blue eyes and an hourglass figure said as she gently placed her knee in between Ari's legs.

Gasping at the sudden pleasurable sensation Ari fought her urge to moan at the top of her lungs and buried her mouth in her friend's neck.

"Aah fuck Zoe" she said in a whimper as she bit down on her neck.

"Gah shit no don't" Zoe said pulling back and grabbing at her neck with an angry face. Rushing over to the mirror she was livid to see a feint bite mark on her neck.

"What the fuck Ari, look what you did how am I supposed to hide this from him" she said pointing at the miniscule mark on her neck.

"You can barely see it though..." Ari replied with a crack in her voice as she straightened her uniform and avoided eye contact with Zoe.

"Shit whatever, I'm gonna go, Tom should be at school any minute now get in the stall and don't come out for five minutes" Zoe said as she stormed out of the bathroom.

Lamely going over to the nearest bathroom stall Ari sat in silence feeling tears well in her eyes.

Giving in she buried her head in her hands and silently sobbed.

Minutes later she stepped out of the bathroom having composed herself and having given the tears on her skirt time to dry off.

Walking over to her locker she looked to her left and saw Zoe attentively and lovingly listening and staring to her tall handsome boyfriend Tom.

Angrily slamming her locker door shut Zoe was snapped out of her trance and looked over at an angry Ari who stormed off down the hall.

"Gimme a second babe" Zoe said visibly mortified as she tailed after Ari.

"What the fuck was that" Zoe said through her teeth staring daggers through Ari.

"Fuck off I'm not doing this anymore" Ari said before Zoe grabbed her by the hand.

"Wait wait please, okay I'm sorry. You know how confusing this all is for me I'm sorry I shouldn't expect you to be fine with seeing me with someone else. Come with me" Zoe said smirking as she led Ari up the stairs watching for anyone watching them.

With the cool morning breeze hitting their faces Ari and Zoe stepped out onto the school rooftop.

"What do you think is going to happen up here" Ari said crossing her arms watching Zoe nervously fiddle her hands as she closed her eyes and exhaled.

"Zoe I'm really not doing this right now get your boyfriend to fuck you up here I'm out" Ari said turning to leave as Zoe grabbed her hand.

"No no no don't I love you!" she shouted in a panic as Ari turned back around to face her.

With tears welling in her eyes Zoe held Ari's hand softly and got down on one knee. "Ari...I love you. It's you it's always been you, I just...I'm just...I mean I WAS I WAS just confused but I'm not anymore. It's you I love you and only you please don't leave I'll tell Tom it's over today okay? Please I promise we can spend all of summer together as girlfriend and girlfriend" Zoe said as tears started dropping down her perfect face.

Feeling a knot form in her throat at the sight of Zoe beginning to cry Ari looked down at her dream come true and nodded.

With a nervous laugh Zoe held Ari's hand in hers and kissed it looking at Ari's soft thighs.

"Here let me apologize to you properly wifey" she said with a smirk as she pulled Ari towards her and while still kneeling pulled up Ari's skirt.

Parting her legs placing her face in between them leading with her mouth.

Twenty minutes later a much more chipper Ari bounded into homeroom early of the day sitting next to a pale thin curly haired teenage boy with his head on the desk and a pair of glasses on the table in front of him.

"Hey Dave" she said tapping his shoulder and waving with a wide grin.

"Hey Ari..." he said looking up at her uncharacteristically cheerful demeanor immediately knowing the only thing that could make her smile that way.

"Alright what did she say this time, we both know your gonna tell me so just get it over with" he said already exhausted by the conversation they had yet to have but fully aware that it would go exactly how the rest of them do.

"I don't know what your talking about" was all Ari said in response.

Ten seconds later Ari turned in her chair to face Dave. "Okay fine I'll tell you. She picked me like I told you she would" Ari said proudly.

"Okay so let me guess she said she'd tell him at some point. But she's still a bit confused so that when she inevitably doesn't tell him she can just turn it on you and say something like 'it's not easy coming out and admitting your cheating on your boyfriend especially when he's as nice as Tom' meh meh meh" he said mimicking Zoe with a mocking hand on the hip and pulling faces.

"No smartass she said she'd tell him today I told you she'd pick me. She told me a couple minutes ago on the rooooof" Ari said visibly rocking in her seat with excitement.

"Oh let me guess she said it then you guys fucked. Man the sex must be great if you this hung up" Dave replied snarkily as he went on his phone.

"How many times do I have to tell you her and I don't do that" Ari said as she crossed her legs.

Looking at the change in posture Dave rolled his eyes.

"Sure you don't, how many times do I have to tell you she's just using you cause she knows she can?" he asked putting his head back down.

"I will kick your insomniac ass over right now" Ari said playfully nudging Dave's seat with her foot.

"Try me Brooks these hands rated e for everyone" Dave said yawning.

"Alright goodnight sleeping bea-" a loud crashing noise coming from outside caused Ari to stop mid sentence as car sirens started blaring outside in the student parking section.

Immediately ducking her head Ari shielded her eyes as the color drained from her face.

"Oh shit what was that? Can you go look Dave if it's a car crash just don't tell me.

"Gah!" Ari said being Immediately shutting down at the sound of a car crash.

Placing a hand on Ari's back Dave rubbed it gently before getting up and looking at what happened out the window.

Listening for any sign of confirmation it wasn't a car crash all Ari heard was Dave stammering and dropping his phone.

She nervously raised her head to see Dave standing looking out the window with his face white as a sheet.

"Um...you okay Dave?" she asked seeing people begin running outside and some people shriek as they ran down the halls.

"Is it a car crash?" Ari asked as her voice cracked. "N...n...n..no" he replied barely making a sound as his hands trembled.

"Shit okay come on sit you don't look good" Ari said standing up and going to grab his hand.

Gently guiding him to his seat her attention was split when she heard a blood-curdling scream from a familiar voice.

"Zoe! Zoe!" Tom yelled at the top of his lungs as a pit in Ari's stomach and her morbid need for the truth caused her to run outside.

Despite her diminutive stature she pushed and elbowed her way through the still growing crowd to see Zoe laid on the caved in hood of a sedan.

Frozen in place she stared at Zoe's unmoving face with blood covering out of the mouth Ari kissed almost every day and the sparkling blue eyes that melted her soul now cold and empty.
