[Molly's Pov]
"Chloe and god is she jealous" Cally said giggling as I squirmed to get loose now and Cally giggled and released me as I shot up just in time to see Chloe snap her head away and walk off towards the courts. In what I thought had to be a show of defience, she walked right over to Maxie and spun her around and kissed her on the lips. "God she must be nuts about you."
"Huh? She's kissing her girlfriend and you say she's crazy about me?" I asked in total confusion.
"She's trying to show you two can play at that game" Cally said as I watched Maxie and Chloe part and break into a fit of giggles when the pitching machine began firing again and they had to jump out of the way to keep from being hit.
"Have you suffered a traumatic brain injury recently?" I asked as Cally shrugged her shoulders and finally explained a little as she said, "Nooooooo, but I know what I see and what I see is Chloe mooning over the new girl. You. And Maxie, in only the way Maxie can, is jealous as all get up of you already."
"But...." I stammered as I tried to break in and she cupped her hand over my mouth and rudely told me, "SHUT UP! Listen. Maxie and Chloe are all wrong for each other, I know I dated Maxie for like a year off and on and when she broke up with me to go out with Chloe, I told her it was a mistake. And there's some wrong in that relationship, but I don't know what. Max's pretty screwed up."
"Why?"
"Because Maxie is the type of person that can't handle high emotion or confrontation, she just shuts down when it comes her way" Cally said. "She's just never learned how to process her feelings the right way I think.
She just doesn't know what to do about it when Chloe breaks down and starts crying. Maybe why we went so well together was that I can handle high emotion, my whole family is loud and it comes out in the fights and trust me growing up an Oliver you learn a lot about protecting your space.
Anyway, Chloe is the complete opposite of Maxie in that she is a high maintainence girl, like I said she'll just start crying sometimes over the most simple things and Maxie can't handle it. It's those moments when she needs lots and lots of TLC to make her feel truly loved. You just seem like you can do that."
"Yeh I could, it don't make me uncomfortable at all" I said. "My family used to be real lovey dovey, you know hugs and kisses and I love you's all the time. So emotion is not a problem."
"You should break them up" Cally said with a dead serious tone to her voice as I sat there stunned.
"No thank you" I said as she smiled and replied, "I knew you'd say that. But you should...really. Maxie wants a way out and Chloe really likes you."
"But..."
"She...likes...you" Cally said deliberately. "And...you...like her. Stop denying it."
"Ok ok" I said removing her hand from my mouth. "Don't be so rough."
"I thought you'd like it rough" She said with a challenging smile as I blurted out something that would embarass and further my induction into the Mintz all at once. "And in the ass..."
"In the...? You do?" She asked as I blushed 8 million colors and turned away as she circled around and sat down in front of me again and asked, "Tell me the truth. Do you like it in the butt? Or was that just for effect?"
"God help me" I said as she laughed and squealed with laughter as she said out loud as she hugged me, "Molly you are my kinda girl."
"So you do to?" I asked quietly as she grinned and nodded, blushing a little too.
"Yeh it feels good" She said, "and ummmmm...speaking of butts, you do know that you're not a member of the Mintz yet right?"
"Oh I know" I said as I bit my lip and thought about the previous night with Chloe and Maxie and how they'd said I had there votes.
"Gotta run, someone's gonna be so mad at me she won't be able to talk if I don't" She commented as she stood and glanced towards Chloe as I followed her eyes.
Chloe who apparently had been watching intently, snapped her head away and walked off, this time disappearing inside the clubhouse. "Too late. God what a drama queen. Anyway I'mma go and drop some info on some of my girls about you."
"Info?" I asked as she smiled and turned around and padded her butt cheeks and smiled. "I really hope you were serious about that."
"Ummmmmmm.....yeah I was...but it's been a while since..." I said as she covered my mouth gently and whispered. "Gotta go, see ya love bug."
"Bye" I said as she stomped off down the steps and stopped at the gate and screamed, "Think about what I said?"
"OK!" I said, and it took me a moment to realize she was talking about me breaking up Maxie and Chloe. She flashed me a thumbs up sign and headed off in the opposite direction. She's still gotta a really nice pair of legs and a nice butt too I noticed. "I'm sorry girl, it's not gonna happen."
I sat there watching Maxie work up a serious sweat as she chased those stupid yellow balls all over the court for the next half hour and from the time Cally left and the end of Maxie's court time I never saw Chloe even give me a passing glance.
So much for liking me or whatever Cally wants me to think. Somewhere along in there my belly started to rumble and I figured Chloe and Maxie would wanna spend some time alone so I headed off towards my dorm for some late breakfast.
Thankfully, the last of the breakfast meals were still sitting on the line as I got to the cafeteria, and I snagged one of the last ones and plopped down at the nearest table.
