Fast In My Car
Chicken Nuggets
JULIE'S POV
Tossing my dancing bag aside, I plopped myself down on my bed and pulled out my phone to notice that I had two new messages.
From: Tony
Hello, beautiful. I'm at Mike's for band so I'm just warning you in advance that I probably won't answer my phone for the next few hours. Miss you. See you soon.
From: Jaime
Hi, can we talk? Call me when you get this. x
After Jaime taking Tony aside, I was pretty thankful he was asking to speak to me too. I was desperate to know what was up with him. Although Jaime was at band too, I decided to call him as his text instructed. As expected, it rang out. I then fished out the phone book and found the Fuentes' house number, dialing it anxiously before pressing call.
'Hello?' answered an old man.
'Hi, could I please speak to Jaime? I'm a friend,' I explained.
'Jaime!' shouted the man, a long pause followed. 'Here he is...'
'...Hello?'
'Jaime, it's Julie.'
'Oh hey, thanks for calling. I've missed you, I need to tell you something.' I heard the faint sound of someones voice in the background, it sounded familiar but I couldn't make out who it was. 'I'm sorry for being so weird lately, it's just that I've been really scared incase we drifted, but the way I was acting was making that happen and I realise that now. The thing is I- I think that I'm, uh, gay...'
'Jaime,' I breathed out, hearing my friend almost breaking down on the other line.
'I told Tony today when we walked off together and I'm so fucking sorry for not-,' he said apologetically. 'Can I make it up to you? Take you two to dinner?'
'You don't have to do that, are you okay?'
'Yeah, I just, c'mon one course? I'll pay?'
'I can't,' I admitted. 'Look, since we're being honest, I've got something to tell you too. I went through I bad period because of a bitchy dance teacher, making myself sick and skipping meals. I'm still not over it and I think it's going to be hard, but Tony's been taking me to a group and it's helping, it really is.' I choked out, wiping away the few tears that were rolling down my cheek.
'What a pair we are,' laughed Jaime who was also crying. We shared a giggle before the line fell silent again.
'I'm sorry,' I blurted, feeling bad for deserting him.
'No, I am. Thanks again for calling, I better go now. See you boo.'
'See you Hime-Time.'
Dropping my phone, I wiped my nose before lying back on the bed. Jaime's gay? Oh my goodness, Jaime's gay! I've got my friend back, finally. I wonder who he fancies? Are they in the band? My thoughts were swirling around so violently that before I knew it my eyes were falling shut.
'Only a few days until the show! Are you excited?' exclaimed Tony, mocking my dancing as he entered with a tray of food. Smiling I ran over to him and, dodging the tray, gave him a hug.
'Yeah, are you?'
'Honestly? I'm more excited about lunch. Chicken nuggets are the shit!'
Smiling furiously, he took a seat and pulled me down next to him. Leaning in, we went to share a kiss but my eager lips were not met by the soft ones I knew so well, instead it was a ketchup covered nugget.
'Ew!' I laughed, 'I want a real kiss.' Leaning in once again, Tony gave me a kiss, removing all traces of ketchup.
'They're good, have one,' he said, dipping another in the ketchup. I took one and slowly dipped it in the red sauce, watching it cover the golden nugget. I popped it in my mouth and began to savour it, remembering how good they tasted. Instantly, my mind flew back to all the ads talking about how fattening they were. I sat back against the wall and turned my face away from the tray, feeling sick at the sight of my own body.
'After the show on Wednesday there's gonna be a party, want to go?' His hand rested on my thigh, squeezing it gently.
'Sure,' I replied, my hand resting over his.
