Behind The Name [Lesbian Story]

Drawing Lines

Sheila's POV:

~

I felt my cheeks flush when he kindly offered to keep me company. He's such a gentleman sometimes that I can't help but like him.

If you ask me how this was even possible, well he has such a charming personality and he just knows how to make me smile. I've only met him a few months ago and I can't help, but be drawn to him.

Sure he's the strongest player in the game and everyone just likes talking to him because he's fun. But it's only with me that he shows something beyond the smile he shows the rest. I may be over thinking this, but our everyday exchanges just make me feel butterflies in my stomach.

But alas, he's too far away for me. Well at least I think he is. He never spoke anything about his personal life and I won't blame him for that since we've only known each other for a few months. Plus, this game has strict rules about personal information. So, it can't be helped.

Besides, I treat him more like a best friend and well, if I do fall for him; it just won't work. Or so I think it doesn't. I finally got him to sleep. I wanted him to stay up with me, but I just don't want him to think that I actually want him to. Frankly, he hit the mark when he said I'd miss him. But well, I'll just keep denying him until then.

I left my pc on for the night just letting a shop open for other players to buy. I went down to the kitchen only to find the house still dark. I sighed softly, knowing that mom didn't keep her promise. I can't blame her I guess. I'm used to her being gone.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and took it out. There was a message from Jun. When I checked the time it was delivered, it read 5.30pm, telling me that she sent it after her practice. I opened the message and saw a photo, making me giggle.

It was a photo of the three of them; in the background, Randy had his arm round Trish and messing her hair while Jun just walks past them as if she doesn't know them. It was a shot taken from over Jun's shoulder from the look of it. I giggle as I replied her.

I wasn't sure what to show or her anything, so I decided to snap her my dinner. I can already imagine her groaning when she sees my dinner as cereal again. Heh.

Just as I was about to take a shot, Kelsie jump up on the counter and sat beside my bowl with her eyes closed. I grin and took the shot, knowing that Jun would just make a joke out of this. I sent her the photo and went to eat dinner.

After I ate, it was already one in the morning. In four hours, he would be getting up. I was stopped in my tracks as I realized that I was thinking of him. Really? I rolled my eyes as I smiled. I guess I just really miss him.

No. I should stop thinking about him. Easier said than done. I sighed and reminded myself that he will only be a friend to me. But, I just can't get him out of my mind. Oh, well.

After I cleaned up, I went to my room. I jumped into my bed after shutting down my computer. I was not one to keep my PC on all night. I turned off my side lamp and went to sleep, thinking of actually meeting him face to face.

Jun's POV:

My alarm went off at five and unlocked my phone to shut it. I got up and went to the bathroom, took a quick bath, then changed into my basketball uniform.

I quickly packed my dark green uniform, knowing I have to put it in my locker later on; although, there would be times when we were allowed to roam school in our basketball uniform, just once in a while for the whole day. Though I got told off once when I did it for a whole week.

I quietly went downstairs and had a quick breakfast, checking my phone as I did. I saw a message from Klair, I opened it and smiled. Although it was as I expected, she had cereal for dinner again.

I just sighed and replied. Before I could press send I checked the time, it was almost six in the morning! I quickly pocketed my phone and went out the house, just as mom and dad got down. I waved them bye and ran to the school's direction.

I ran and ran until by lungs were about to burst. I wasn't too keen on being late for practice, knowing that our coach would make us run five long laps and not play. Soon, I was already at school. I zoomed past my seniors who were coming out of the locker room as I stuffed my bag inside mine. They looked at me and chuckled.

"What's the rush? A tiger on your tail?" The captain asked as I just chuckled lightly, wiping the sweat off my forehead as I went over to them.

"Ehehe... Just some little kitty whose tail I stepped on." I replied, making some of them giggle softly. I smiled as we headed for practice.

We had three games for an hour and a half. It was devastatingly long and my legs were hurting. But it was worth it. I'm fine getting muscle pain rather than not getting my hands on the ball.

What can I say? I love this sport!

"Alright, huddle up!" My coach called out. We approached him, all sweaty and stinky. "Class starts in half hour. Be here on time for practice later. We have a game in two weeks so stop sleeping late! Dismissed!" He yelled, making us all head for the locker room.

I hit the showers and had a quick one. I was hoping to eat before heading to homeroom today, but I guess I'm not really lucky. I sighed as I changed into my white polo shirt, putting my blazer over my shoulder as I take my backpack.

I hung my bag on one shoulder while I put my blazer on my arm. I ruffled my hair, giving it a wet messy look before heading out the locker room. While walking down the hall, I can feel the stares at me. It didn't feel wrong, but it just made me wonder what's wrong with me.

As I passed by I can hear giggles as if I had done something I shouldn't have. But when one group of girls went past me and greeted me, I just smiled. I think I'm just imagining stuff. I just kept smiling as I walked towards my locker.

"Hey, Vincie!” Randy called out to me, “We were awesome last night!" he exclaimed while I open my locker, taking stuff out as he continued his enthusiasm, "Dude, we were on fire! We better do more raids in the future with that chick! She was flawless!"

"Yeah wasn't she? Well I'll see if I can get her in again." I replied casually, feigning my enthusiasm as I chuckled. I have to agree with him though; Raz was pretty good with her fingers. Maybe she played piano? Well, who knows?

"What is this bubbling baboon talking about this early?" Trish cut in while Randy was still going on about last night. I just smiled at her as I greeted her morning.

"Oh, honey." Randy wrapped his arm around Trish's waist, “We were just having, you know. Our usual man talk about which women has more chest than you." Randy jested, smirking at her. Trish furrowed her brow and pinched Randy's side hard. He winced and jumped back, holding his side as he said 'ow' a few times.

I just laughed at the two of them, closing my locker. I turned around and smiled at Klair, who was walking towards us. She was beautiful and if only she wasn't against gay people, I would've asked her out by now. But I guess we're still young.

"Trish, morning," Klair walked behind Trish and Randy, while I looked at her. "Jun. Randy." She nodded at us, with a smile.

"Hey, Klair,” I greeted back, “I missed you yesterday." I smiled as I moved towards her. She smiled back at me, meeting me half way as we hug each other. She smelt nice and I really liked how she always smelt. If only I could smell it every day whenever I wake up, it would be great. Really, really great.

"I? What about us, Jun?" Trish went in between us, making me pull away from Klair. The two hugged briefly as Randy went in to hug her too. "No love for you." Trish pulled Klair away down the hall, making Randy feign hurt as they both walked away.

"See you guys at lunch?" I called out, making Klair look back and nod with a smile. My heart was fluttering at her smile, making me smile back at her. I turned to Randy who was still frowning, letting out a deep sigh as I shook my head. Didn't know it affected him that much.

"Aww. Don't be sad, bro! We'll see them both later." I cheered him up. He shook his head, still unbelieving that Klair didn't hug him and then, he began walking. I walked with him to homeroom, trying to cheer him up.

"I'll give you a free upgrade card later, if that makes you feel better." I smiled at him, making him jump and do his signature uppercut. I just laughed as we walked to class, talking about the game. I wish I could talk to Raz too, but I guess it's not even possible. Looking forward to seeing her, will she also be this fun to be with?

Sheila's POV:

I got to school today. Fact is, I didn't want to go at all. As much as I want to go to class, all I ever do is zone out. Makes me wonder why I even come every day. I'd rather stay home and read, or play the game just to pass time until Czy gets on. I rather be talking to him all day, rather than waste it in school. I sighed as I kept walking.

"... man talk about women..." I heard Randy and I smiled as I saw our group. Giggling as I see Trish pinch him hard, I walked towards them with a smile. As I paced forward, I saw Jun with a smile ready for me and met me half way.

"Hey, Klair,” Jun greeted me, “I missed you yesterday." She said while looking into my eyes. Only she calls me Klair, even though my first name was Sheila. But I guess only she has that benefit and honestly, I don't really mind. She's my first best friend after all.

I smiled at her sweet remark as I opened my arms for a hug. She obliged and I liked that she always makes me feel alright. Even though I wish this moment would be with Czy.

What would it feel like to actually hug him I wonder? Will it be the same as the feeling of friendship Jun makes me feel? Or is it something else? I mentally sighed as Trish parted us.

I giggled softly as Trish also hugged me, I hugged her back. This was my normal every day, the reason why I go to school every day despite not needing to. It was Randy's turn, but Trish pulled me away from his direction. He looked sad, but I know that Trish is just playing with him.

"Trust me, girl,” Trish rolled her eyes. “You do not want to be hugging that perv." She explained with a small hint of disgust, though I knew she was joking. I just laughed at her remark as I looked back, smiling apologetically at Randy and Jun.

"See you guys lunch?" Jun called out with the same dazzling smile I know. I just nodded back smiling, knowing that she understood it even if it was brief. The bell rang as Trish and I got to class, we sat at the back row.

"So, what's the REAL reason you weren't here yesterday?" Trish turned to me with an arched brow. Oh great. I knew that was so good to be true. I just sighed as the teacher came and began handing some announcements.

"I overslept reading the night before." I whispered as I hung my head low. Trish just grinned at me as the teacher walked past us, after laying the notice paper.

"You didn't get to talk to him, did you? That's WHY you couldn't sleep and WHY you overslept, cause you waited for him." Trish questioned with a knowing look. I felt my face heat up, making Trish grin wider as if she knew. I shook my head in denial, hoping to sway her mind.

"No. It's not like that!" I whispered in a higher pitch, but Trish didn't buy it. She knew me so well - too well that I should stop telling her about this stuff.

"Whatever makes you sleep at night, Sheila." She winked at me as I felt my face go even redder. I shook my head, frowning at her. "So what happened last night? Did you see your man?" She queried further as the bell rung for second period.

I just nodded with a smile, getting up with her as we left the room. Trish squealed as we left, hugging me sideways as we walked down the hall. I just smiled at her, unsure what to tell her about him at all. I'm sure that she already knows everything since she's the only one I've told about.

It never crossed my mind to tell Jun. Even though she was my first friend and best friend, she doesn't seem to appreciate me talking about other guys. I honestly think that she doesn't like guys at all, but with Randy there, I'm not sure anymore.

"You better spill me all the details! Juicy or not." Trish demanded playfully still holding onto me sideways. We finally reached the stairs, parting as I head for English class. It was about the only class I actually like.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, I quickly went in class as the tardy bell rung. I unlocked my phone as I saw a message from Trish. I giggled to myself as I read her photo, which she obviously drew.

It was a doodle of my character's name, Raz-kel, and Czymishé's inside a heart on a piece of paper. I smiled at the thought and wondered what he was doing right now.

Longing to talk to him, I secretly wish that he went to the same school as me. It would be great if he did and maybe, just maybe, I'd fall for him even more.

Hours had gone by and it's finally lunch. I sighed and got up, meeting Trish at her class as we headed for the cafeteria. Trish had a huge grin on her face, making me give her a curious look.

"What?" She asked; her smile still plastered on her face.

"Why are you so happy?" I asked without second thoughts, pushing the door open to the cafeteria.

"Oh, don't play innocent with me, girl. You know why I'm happy!" She exclaimed, nudging my shoulder with hers as we saw Jun waving at us.

I smiled at Jun, her dazzling smile is infectious. Up to now, I still wonder why.

"W-wha?" I turned to Trish as she winked at me, walking up to our usual spot as Jun stood up.

"What are you guys having? I'll get them for you." Jun smiled as she looked at the both of us. Trish and I sat down as Jun waited for our reply, the smile on her face still there.

"Just the usual for me. Spaghetti&Meatballs and Ice Tea." I replied politely to Jun, smiling back at her as she turned to Trish for her reply.

"I'll have the Set B lunch. You know what I prefer right?" Trish glanced at Jun then back at me, contemplating if she should to change her choice.

"Yeah, of course. Diet Cola, with a side salad and the bread, no crust." Jun pointed out, making sure it was what Trish meant.

Trish nodded and smiled, then Jun left us be to get the food, which meant that Trish will ask me questions about Czy. I turned to her, bracing myself for whatever questions she was going to ask.

"So, tell me Sheila. Do you like, like him?" Trish asked, looking at me dead in the eye with a devilish grin on her face.

"What do you mean?" I asked back, unsure what she meant when she knew that I do like him. But I somehow knew what she was asking, feigning ignorance as I held my stare.

"Oh, you know what I mean," she rolled her eyes, propping her elbow on the table and putting her chin on her palm. "Do you love him?"

I felt my face heat up, turning red as I looked away from her. I began fiddling my fingers as I thought of an answer. Trish was tapping her finger on the table, making me feel even more nervous than I already am.

What do I really feel for him?

"I...” I mumbled as I tried to find the words to say, “I think I...” I paused as I wracked my brain for an answer that would satisfy her curiosity, “I'm in love with him." I replied still not meeting her gaze as my heart beat fast when I said those words. I could feel my breath about to hitch, but stopped it just in time.

I heard the clinking of metal and looked up, finding Jun who looked stunned. After a brief moment, she smiled and placed the second tray on the table.

"You guys dig in first,” she spoke in a low voice, “I…” then paused for a second as I heard her exhale, “I uh need to go to the... bathroom first." She said with a hint of hesitation in her voice. I nodded as I looked into her eyes. The energy she always radiated disappeared for a moment; she smiled – a smile that felt so unfamiliar – at us, then walked away.

"What was that about?" Trish asked in the open, her eyes still on Jun. I shrugged, even though she couldn't see. I just sighed; feeling a bit worried about her.

I saw hurt in her expression, even for a brief moment as she walked away. It makes me wonder why though. As I ponder on this, Randy came to our table and sat. He was looking over his shoulder, which I assume was at the double-doors.

"What happened to Jun?"
