[Chick Habit by April March]
"I can’t believe you’re actually doing this." Quinn is staring at me in her perfectly snarky way, her lip curled. We’re standing at the edge of the arena and I have her old, sequined skates in my hand. My stomach is churning, and it’s probably what people call butterflies, but—honestly—they feel more like cannon balls.
I really hate pain, as much shit as I talk, I’ve only been in a couple fist fights and after reevaluating my life, I’m pretty sure those other girls never actually put up a fight. I mean—Debbie Zimmerman twisted her ankle and fell down the stairs and Candice Janickie hit herself in the back of the head with her own damn bookbag. I just looked like a bad ass, standing above them, looking out of breath, making sure my hair was perfectly disheveled.
"Fuck," I mutter at my sudden realization. I’m a goddamn pussy, as detailed by the way my knees shake and the armadillo cannon balls try to punch through the lining of my stomach.
"Oh, so the Princess finally gets it.” Quinn is smirking. Obviously she’d come to the same realization years ago as detailed by the way she so easily manipulates me. What a bitch.
"I don’t see YOU putting on the skates and prancing around with the bearded ladies," I snap.
"That’s because I’m not stupid enough to let a wall of meaty women beat me to a bloody pulp all for a fucking phone number. I have my smile and my nose. My perfect nose." She taps the tip of her said anatomy.
"I’m not doing this for—"
"If you want to suck her pussy, all you gotta do is ask, why bother letting other women beat the piss out of you? Unless she thinks scars are hot." The sound of a whistle breaks Quinn’s thought, the thunder of wheels on a banked, wooden track adding to the terror prickling at the back of my neck.
"Don’t say it. Because I don’t think I’ll be able to contain my laughter, S."
"Say what?" An arm drops around my shoulders. I can smell the perfect blend of vanilla and sweet pea, maybe a bit of mint mixed in and an odor all her own. Blinding lights flash behind my eyes, my fingers slick with sweat and Quinn’s stupid skates slipping from my grasp.
“Brittany!” Quinn says, gently patting her on the arm. The clatter of the skates on the floor makes me jump. I rocket towards the floor fumbling with the awkward contraptions (I’m pretty sure roller-skates were made by Satan himself).
"Well, come on, San!" The way she shortens my name is perfect. The way she says it is perfect. She’s perfect. "You gotta put the skates on to play!" Her golden hair is held back by a neon pink sweatband, a tight, white tank top spray painted with c-c-c-cherry bomb in red clinging in all the right places. Or maybe the wrong places. Because I’m staring.
And Brittany is smiling at me. The axis of my world is spinning and I know why that is. My chest feels full. (Quinn is rolling her eyes—fuck that bitch.)
