Chapter 12: Blue is Bisexual?

So I know it's been a while, but...I don't know. I was weighed down with Calculus, let's say. I'm not sure what to say about this chapter. I probably haven't proof read it very well. Not a lot actually happens in it, but there are some developments. You'll see them. Ummm...I meant to post some other stuff and things, so maybe sometime.

Blue is Bisexual?

Blue and Malik had been dating a week. A week, and now this?

“Hello all, I would like to introduce you to my new girlfriend, Kakahihi,” Blue motioned a teen girl with a grin.

“It's actually Kakahi,” she corrected with a smile, “and in lieu of being called Kaka, since that has been my lifelong nickname, I would love it if you would call me Kahi. I feel, like...Indian or something when people call me that. It's kind of like Mahi Mahi. Which might be food or something. Sounds delicious.” Kakahi gave a proud little smile, as Teddy, Malik, and Kip all stared at Blue, dumbfounded.

“You remember that you're dating Malik, right...?” Teddy mumbled after an extended pause, where Kakahi smiled at everyone, looking like she was dazed.

“Whatttt?” Kakahi replied. “You're cheating on me?”

“No, it's OK, I'm bisexual now,” Blue insisted.

Everyone, save Kakahi, who had started dozing off, was dumbfounded again. Kip was the first to speak, to Teddy, “You told me that wasn't how it worked.”

Teddy twitched his head a couple times and finally stated, “It's not. Kahi, right?” Kakahi nodded, and Teddy momentarily wondered if the girl was high. “Can you give us a moment alone with Blue?”

“Sure, I guess...Oh my God!” she shrieked. “I left the iron on! Did I? I can't remember...I'm going to go check...Maybe it was the oven...The bathwater? No, I didn't take a bath today...” Kakahi mumbled the entire way out of the room, and once she was gone Blue blinked at her friends.

“I'll let you two handle this one,” Kip mumbled, as he realized Malik was staring into the floor, paler than he'd ever looked with that tan skin of his.

Teddy scowled at Malik, then stated, “Take this one with you.” Kip nodded and pulled Malik off the floor. The young man highly resembled a lost puppy as he stumbled out the door of his and Kip's room.

“What's wrong?” Blue asked, and Teddy sighed.

“I want you to tell me why you think you're bisexual,” Teddy countered immediately.

“Cause I read a website that told me I could, if I wanted. Well, it said bisexual people could become straight, so I thought straight people, like me, must be able to become bi!” Blue cheered, and Teddy scowled more deeply. “You're going to get wrinkles,” Blue stated with a grin, and Teddy sighed.

“You remember how you're dating Malik? My besty who you promised not to break the heart of,” Teddy said to Blue, who nodded.

“Yeah, but the website said bisexual people can have as many 'partners' as they can handle at a time, so I figured I'd get one girl and one boy,” Blue explained, still grinning at Teddy. “What's the problem? I hear gay men are even worse. I heard you slept with six people in one night.”

Teddy stared at Blue, sighing deeply again, “That is just...offensive! And it sounds absolutely exhausting...”

“No, the website said you enjoy it,” Blue insisted, “and that you created STDs. Why would you do that?”

“Blue...,” Teddy mumbled, “though I know you don't realize what you're doing, you're pissing me off. So much. So much that I might start swearing again. Like really bad. Please tell me the name of the website and get. Out.”

“Ummm, OK?” Blue replied, then mumbled, “I just searched for bisexial. Like spelled how I said it. In the search box.”

“OK awesome, go enjoy yourself you're dismissed,” Teddy mumbled, pulling a laptop out from underneath Malik's bed. Before Blue could question how Teddy had gotten onto Malik's laptop with such ease when she knew she'd tried to get in there so many times Malik had informed her that he changed the password weekly, Teddy waved her away.

She trotted out of the room, blissfully unaware of how annoyed Teddy had become. What she saw in the hallway was her smiling “girlfriend” waving at her. “Ready to go?” Kakahi asked, and Blue nodded.

“So where are we goingggg?” Blue asked, as they walked past Kip and Malik. Kip was staring at them, confused, and Malik was just repeatedly sighing.

“We're going to eat lunch. Would you like to do that?” Kakahi asked. Blue nodded, so Kakahi guided the girl outside of the building with her, a glazed over expression on her face all the while. The pair headed toward a weird looking restaurant, and settled in at a table together.

“So what kind of fooood should I order?” Blue asked, and Kakahi shrugged.

“I usually order...,” she trailed off, then stared out the window for a moment. Blue waited for a while for Kakahi to continue her sentence, but she never did.

“Kahi?” Blue asked, and Kakahi blinked at her.

“Do you see that?” the other girl asked. Blue looked out the window, blinked and nodded.

“Totally,” she replied. “That person and the dog are talking to each other. Like that dog can speak English, wow.”

“No, no...” Kakahi shook her head, “no, no…That sign…what is that letter?”

Blue looked around, then smiled, “Oh no, that’s a kitty cat.”

“That’s a new letter,” Kakahi mumbled. “Longer name than most too, huh?”

“No, those lines make the shape of a kitty cat, see?” Blue explained, and Kakahi stared at the cat symbol for a while, tilting her head and tilting it back.

“Is that part the…ear?” she asked, and Blue nodded. Kakahi smiled at her as a waiter walked over to them, and sighed on sight.

“Do I have to explain what ‘banned’ means again?” he asked, and Kakahi shook her head.

“No but I can’t join your band. I can’t remember song lyrics remember?” Kakahi replied with a sweet little smile.

“No banned as in…you are not allowed to be in here. You almost started the place on fire the last time you were here,” the waiter explained, “and you’re really sweet but so incredibly destructive. Please leave.”

“Like a tree?” Kakahi asked, and the waiter sighed again.

“Can you get her to go?” he asked Blue, and the other girl shrugged.

“Sure, but…I can join your band if you need somebody,” Blue offered, and the waiter sighed.

“I don’t have a band,” he stated, “now if you’ll go…” Blue shrugged and stood up as Kakahi offered her condolences to the waiter for his band breaking up. Blue tugged her out as the waiter tried to explain that he’d never had a band.

They got outside the restaurant and Blue offered that they go eat in the school cafeteria instead, and Kakahi agreed. Soon they were sitting at a table, as Blue handed food over to Kakahi, who'd been unable to decide on a choice of food.

“What is...Going on? Teddy says I should be concerned,” Estela stated to the both of them with a casual head tilt.

“We're on a date,” Blue replied with a grin, and Estela made a light “hm” noise.

“Ok, well, we're going to need to have a talk,” she stated, then smiled at Kakahi. “I'm sorry to say, as far as anyone can tell, this girl is completely heterosexual. Don't get your hopes up.” Kakahi scowled.

“Are you talking about...yourself in third people?” Kakahi asked, and Estela shook her head.

“No, I'm talking about Blue. You're delightfully dumb, aren't you?” Estela chuckled, and Kakahi smield at her.

“Nope,” she replied, and Estela rolled her eyes with a smile and pulled up a chair.

“Hi, I'm Estela,” she greeted, and Kakahi smiled airily.

“It's Kakahi, and in lieu of being called Kaka, since that has been my lifelong nickname, I would love it if you would call me Kahi. I feel, like...Indian or something when people call me that. It's kind of like Mahi Mahi. Which might be food or something. Sounds delicious, “ she rehearsed. Estela smiled in this weird little way, and Blue got immediately annoyed. She stood and glared at the both of them as Estela chatted up her girlfriend, so she decided to go complain to Teddy about it.

Barreling into Malik's room, where Teddy was not located to her surprise, she scowled. She checked in Teddy's room, but he wasn't there either, and she scowled at Kendall. Kendall cackled creepily and told her something about her own room and Blue wandered off to check it out, only slightly worried. What she saw inside the room was mostly shocking to her: Teddy sat on her bed, still playing with Malik's laptop, and Alec was typing away furiously. Pablo was rolling around on the floor, complaining that he was bored.

Blue immediately shouted, “Estela is flirting with my new girlfriend! Pablo what are you doing? What are you two doing?”

“Hacking,” Alec and Teddy replied in creepy unison.

“I was waiting for you,” Pablo replied, grinning and standing from the floor. “We're going to have a talk. Teddy called for a meeting of the people who could hopefully talk to you about what's going on. We figured together Estela and I could work through this. Where'd she go again?”

“She fa-lirting with my girlfriend!” Blue declared, outraged. Pablo sighed at her then, but smiled momentarily.

“Good for her,” Pablo replied. “Now let's do a quick talk, because Teddy tells me some concerning stuff. Why do you think you're bisexual?”

Blue blinked, then tapped her chin, “Cause I wanna be.”

“See...Let's sit down,” Pablo mumbled, pulling Blue to her own bed to sit as he continued, “Let me...Let me put it this way. What would you think about kissing that girl you were just on a date with?”

“Ummmm,” Blue replied, thinking seriously, “I don't want that. It would be icky. I just wanna hang out with her and tell everyone I'm bi because that makes me cooool.”

“The thing is,” Pablo stated, still choosing his words carefully. “That website you read was a lie. If you were actually bi, you would want to kiss girls. You would be attracted to them, see? Feel the capacity to fall in love with them...Do...do you get it?”

Blue blinked, sighing, “I...think...Maybe. But I still wanna tell people I'm bi, right?”

“The thing about that is...People can be really mean to you when they learn you're bi. I mean, girls less so...But being a bi guy is just...Sigh. In any case! It's also misleading, and you don't want to hurt people's feelings, right?” Pablo asked with a big grin, and Blue shook her head. “Of course you don't. So if you're not bi, don't say you're bi, all right? Now you should go apologize to your boyfriend. Because no one should date more than one person at once. It's unfair to the people involved, OK?” Blue nodded and ran off to find Malik and apologize, as Teddy spoke while typing on Malik's laptop.

“These douches suck so hard,” Teddy stated, “but I would like to tell you...It sucks that bisexuality is kinda harder than even homosexuality for guys. I'm cool with bi guys.”

“Thanks. You cool with dating bi guys?” Pablo asked, leaning toward Teddy and wiggling his eyebrows.

Teddy didn't so much as turn to look at him as he replied, “Still pretty shaken up. Ask me again in a couple weeks.” Pablo grinned delightedly and glanced at what Teddy and Alec were doing.

“So what exactly are you doing?” he asked, and Teddy finally looked at him and smiled.

“Hacking every stupid website with information like what Blue read. Potts is in charge of giving viruses to the computers of everyone who runs the sites. It's for the greater good,” Teddy explained, and Alec nodded as if to agree.

“I have to agree with that,” he stated, “which is why this favor is coming half-price.”

Pablo nodded and smiled as Teddy continued on, “Obviously they'll be changed back eventually, but I hope this, I don't know...Send a message.”

“You know...,” Pablo stated, “you...You have so many random talents.”

“Being a genius isn't a choice,” Teddy stated with a smile, “it happens by accident.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Pablo replied. “One question, though...Is this not illegal?”

“Ehhhh,” Teddy replied, “who'd suspect me? They'll just arrest Malik anyway. It's his laptop,” Teddy declared, then smiled, “and Malik's not really smart enough for this, but I'm smart enough to get him out of being arrested.”

“So it's completely fine,” Alec assured, as the two returned to ignoring Pablo and mutilating websites.

In the cafeteria, Blue was just finishing an impassioned speech saying that she was a fool, after which she started rhyming various words with fool, staring with “cool” and ending with “Nazgul” which she insisted was on one of the “pointy buildings” (churches) in town. Kip explained Nazgul were from Lord of the Rings, and went off to try to figure out what Blue was talking about. Malik sighed and forgave Blue, but also took the time to explain she was thinking of “Nazarene” which was not the same thing as Nazgul. Blue didn't really listen, because apparently Kakahi was still around. She ran over to the girl to break up with her, then realized she was still talking to Estela.

“Stella!” Blue declared, scolding her, “PDA is illegal.”

“I don't think flirting constitutes PDA,” Malik offered as he trailed behind Blue.

“So I'm breaking up with you, Blue informed Kakahi, who simply smiled at her.

“Thattt's OK,” she stated, “Stella and I are going on a date later. She told me you're a hetero, so it's cool. I understand...Being bi makes you look cool, probably.”

“Exactly!” Blue declared. “makes me look BA.”

Malik and Estela shared nearly identical smiles as they looked at the girls, then glanced at each other and smiled again.

“If this pans out, you and I should go on some double dates sometime,” Estela stated, and Malik nodded.

“Sounds fun,” he replied, as Kakahi and Blue went off on a weird tangent about what other things “BA” could stand for other than bad ass. Malik sat next to Estela as Blue flopped into a chair next to Kakahi and continued their conversation. Malik noted Estela's genuine smiles as the two shared a separate conversation and a shared attraction to “idiocy” as both deemed it.

“Perhaps bah ambug,” Kakahi suggested.

“No, I think the thing you're thinking of is bah humbug,” she replied, as Estela and Malik listened to the conversation.

“I think it could mean best amigo,” Estela interjected, and Kakahi and Blue nodded and made oh ah noises.

“Or maybe brown apple,” Malik offered up, and Kakahi and Blue wrinkled their noises.

“Yuck,” Blue protested. The conversation continued on for quite a while, until they were shooed out of the cafeteria and eventually Kakahi left the school with a promise to go on a double date with Estela, Blue and Malik.

  1. Hurray for website hacking! :D I think that Alec and Teddy working together like that has got to be one of my favorites. I dunno why, I just really like their character interactions.

    I'm also glad that this whole Blue/Kahi relationship didn't work out. That would be a highly concentrated amount of crazy in one area. I really think something could have gone horribly wrong.

  2. Teddy and Alec could probably do some serious damage if they became friends. They'll probably always treat each other the same way though, even if they become friends.

    Also yeah. Blue and Kakahi could rival Teddy and Alec in damage, but less on purpose and more accidental. They could probably burn a whole school down or something.

    I'm actually pretty far into the next chapter (a result of boredom) and I will give you one preview: Teddy! There's a lot of Teddy... :) My other comment is yes to my own statement at the top of this. I failed to proofread this well. I also didn't finish that sentence at the end of the paragraph. Haha.
