“Of course not,” she sighed. “I love you sis, you know that. It’s just… I’m a little mad at you. This really isn’t right, this isn’t YOU, but I guess… I guess you have a right to experience one artistic madness in your lifetime. I’m just worried that this is what you’ll become. Jade, you’re beautiful. If you ever do become an actress, they’ll do everything to typecast you in sexualized roles. I don’t want that to happen to you.”
“It won’t. This isn’t who I am.”
She smiled and hugged me.
“I love you baby sis.”
“I love you too.”
As we sat down, thankfully reconciled, the Quarters began to populate. I held my head as low as possible so my sight would block everyone around me. A quick glance proved what I feared, everyone was looking at me. I didn’t even dare look at the boys, but the girls…they looked almost as if a magical creature had been bestowed to their sight. I knew not what to see in their eyes, which showed they themselves did not know what to think of me. The only term I can use is fascination, and even then, I didn’t know towards what emotions, positive or negative, this fascination leaned.
To my relief, Sarah began to speak, attracting at least part of the class’s attention.
“Good morning everyone, I won’t have to talk a lot today, thankfully. The only big news is, the costumes are here. You’re free to look at them and try them on. Otherwise, today’s schedule will be divided in two parts, we’ll spend most of the day up until 4 just like last day. I’ve spoken to some of you and you’re very much on the right track for finding good ideas, so keep on going. Then, we’ll take a break and relax with some improvisation matches, you’ll be able to warm up your acting a little. Good? Let’s go then.”
The same two groups as last time coalesced to their respective corners of the Quarters, the girls on one side, and the boys and I in the other. I sat down and held my body tight, hoping that perhaps I could make it small enough to disappear from their sight. The attempt proved to be futile, as I could see them constantly looking across the whole of my body. They were even gazing at my breasts, or more accurately, the large, round shape that suggested them when seen from outside my clothes. That had never occurred before, yet they were now shamelessly setting their eyes on the more…”aesthetic” parts of me.
A virile, musky scent appeared behind me along with a strong pair of arms which wrapped around my shoulders.
“Hi sweetheart,” Alex said, hugging me from above.
“Hi there.”
“I didn’t you see at my house yesterday. Why didn’t you come?”
“Ah, yeah… Listen, I was afraid it would have felt awkward. You know? After, uhm…”
He smiled and held me even tighter, then left a kiss on my cheek. I loved feeling his harsh skin against the cream like softness of mine.
“Well I’m not feeling any awkwardness now,” he said. “Are you?”
I smiled back and wrapped my arms around his.
“No I’m not.”
“You see? Stop being so worried then.”
“I will, promise.”
“So…you’re not naked today?”
Finally. I knew I couldn’t escape the subject any longer. It made sense that Alex would be the one to break the ice.
“No. I’ll only be one last time in May, before the play.”
“Oh. Alright.”
I looked up at him, still imprisoned in his embrace.
“What? You sound disappointed.”
“Well, I won’t hide that I am a little.”
I raised my eyebrows, a playful air on my face.
“Really? Just a little?”
“Yeah. Just a little.”
“I know it when you lie, Alejandro…”
“All right,” he chuckled. “I’m very disappointed.”
There was so much playfulness in how he spoke… I started, perhaps unconsciously, to lightly brush his forearms with my fingers.
“Would you want me to be naked more?”
“I only want what makes you comfortable.”
“I know, I know, but if you could choose?”
“I told you, I want you to do what you feel is best.”
I groaned, and removing his arms, turned around to kneel on the chair and face him.
“Enough about me, Alex. Come on, just for once, tell me what YOU would want.”
He thought for a bit, then smiled another of those rare, confident smiles that I always jealously watched him give to other girls.
“If I could have it my way…well…” He thought again… And stopped. No words came out of him. His smile evaporated and he regained his usual, sterner self. “I just want you to feel comfortable. Do it one last time in May and then during the play. Anything more would be to objectify you.”
“And you don’t want that?”
“Of course not. You’re my best friend.”
I sighed, disappointed.
“Whatever…”
Still leaning against the backrest with my knees on the chair, I turned around and saw how the boys were looking at my butt that was pretty much presented to them. I gave them an arrogant expression.
“You can be more subtle if you want to look at my ass.” I said.
I expected them to stiffen like Liang had the day prior, but Ari just shrugged casually. Interesting, I thought. They were acting less terrorized than last time. I sat next to Ari and punched his shoulder.
“Let’s play tonight,” I said, “I just unlocked new weapons.”
“Finally, took you months.”
“Screw you. You’re still my bitch when it comes to duels.”
“Pardon me if I wasn’t gaming since I was four. Some people have lives you know?”
“Hah, I hate you sometimes.”
“Really?”
“Nah, I love you bro.”
“Thanks, I was almost getting suicidal. By the way, can you help me study for my science exam? I can’t understand shit.”
“Fine, fine. What would you do without me man?”
“Commit suicide, most probably.”
As we laughed, Chris called me.
“Dude, I’ve a date tonight but I’m sort of short on money. Can you pass me ten bucks?”
I feigned sighing as I took the money out of my wallet.
“Here, haven fifteen. And you better pay me back this time, or else…”
“What? When did I ever not pay you back?”
“That time we went to see the Avengers, maybe?”
“Oh, yeah… Sorry.”
“Better pay up, or you’ll be sleepin’ with the fishes.”
Hugo intervened :
“Where was that from again?”
“Umm… Narnia?” I answered, having forgotten myself.
Sodden laughed.
“You’re shittier than my mom at remembering movie lines.”
“Hey! Fuck you asshole.”
“Fuck YOU, asshole.”
“I fucked your mom.”
“I know, that’s why she has syphilis.”
So our conversations went. I won’t deny that their intellectual level was on par with that of early high school idiots. That’s when, in the midst of one those aggressive, classic “guy” conversations, Ari turned to me with a quieter air to him.
“By the way Jade…”
“Yeah?”
“You have a great ass, just wanted to let you know.”
