Chapter 3 – Escalation

I redoubled my efforts in learning sign language. It was hard, like leaning a whole new language. I chuckled at myself. Duh! It is another language genius! I even found the courage somewhere inside me to ask a mostly hearing impaired girl from one of my classes, True, to tutor me after I saw her signing to one of her friends.

I thought Katy was going to pop a cork she was so happy to know that I had yet another friend. “Looks like college is really getting you out of your shell lady.” I thought about it and it really wasn't college, it was that damn amber-eyed vixen that I wanted to please so badly.

I actively sought out all the off campus parties after that, hoping to meet up with Amber. With the exception of one party, she was always there. She always complimented me on my progress but I couldn't win her name.

We would always sit and watch the parties as spectators and talk all night. She was always holding my hand or laying her head on my shoulder. Sometimes cupping my cheeks then telling me how pretty I was. I craved her eyes and her touch. I was an Amber junkie.

Our touches seemed to be escalating with each party and I found myself fantasizing in my dorm room about even more. I had to relive myself on more than one occasion when Katy wasn't around.

Then one night as we were lying in our respective beds doing our homework I blurted, “I think I'm a lesbian,” and held my breath.

Katy didn't miss a beat and just mumbled, “That's nice.” Then added offhandedly, “So like where the hell are we going to use quadratic equations in the real world? I mean really! I just don't get this math shit.”

That was the scariest admission in my entire life and she didn't even blink. Have I mentioned just how much I love my best friend? She is the definition of awesome. Then she said, “Your turn to pay for the pizza.” when there was a knock at the door. I silently chuckled, well fine, I love her MOST of the time. Then I hopped up to pay the delivery guy.

At the Christmas keggar... was everything a keggar in college? …I had my best and worst night ever. When a slow song came on, Amber shocked me and stood up and signed, “Dance with me.” I nodded woodenly as she took my hand. I melted into her on the dance floor.

As the song was ending I saw Katy in a heated argument with Brett. Then she stormed out. I looked back at the goddess that had swept me off my feet then signed and spelled in my hybrid manner, “I have to make sure she's ok. Thank you for the dance.”

She nodded gave me a quick hug and signed, “Go!” We exchanged smiles and I ran off to find Katy.

I found out, much to my chagrin, she had just broken up with Brett because of me.
