Vertigo

Ch.3 “Seeing Red”

-Thursday-
A loud buzzer was going off when amber woke up the next day; she was groggy and her head hurt like a bitch. A warm body was laying next to her and her legs and back was sore. Amber smirked, looking over at Luke, asleep and hugging one of her purple pillows. Her father would be home later that night, so she wasn’t worried about that.

“Luke, get up. I got to go to school” Amber poked at him softly.

Luke groaned and turned over, burying his head more into the purple pillow. Amber drew her brows together and turned off the alarm clock, looking at the time.

“Crap!” she gasped, getting out of bed and running to the bathroom. “Its already nine!” she groaned. “I’m so late”

“Skip. Take the day off and lets fuck” Luke mumbled, pulling the covers over him tighter.

“I have a test today in Politics.” Amber snapped, rolling her eyes. “And I’m not taking the make-up test. They are too hard”

Luke sighed heavily and got up slowly, walking into the bathroom where Amber was getting her shower ready. “You’re taking a shower too? You’re not going to get there until like… eleven. Why go?”

“I’m taking a quick shower. I’ll get there at ten.” Amber replied, stripping off her skirt from last night and stepping into the shower.

Luke grinned at Amber and stepped in the shower with her. She looked at him impatiently and begun washing her hair. His hands grazed her hips and stomach as he pulled her back against him. She gasped softly and leaned into him as he washed her hair.

Luke helped Amber rinse her hair out then kissed her fiercely, grabbing at her lower back and shoulder desperately. She groaned into the kiss, arching her back into him. He felt so good sometimes. Amber kissed down Luke’s body, touching him everywhere she could. Her fingertips skimmed his erection.

“Fuck” Luke whispered, tilting his head back as she took his erection into her mouth. Her talented and practiced tongue slid over his cock and she sucked at just the right pressure.

That’s when Luke broke their agreement. He shuddered and gasped for air, burying his fingers into Amber’s hair and groaned “Amber”.

It made her stop and stand up quickly. She looked him, confused and scared; this couldn’t be happening.

“You weren’t suppose to get attached” Amber said quietly, “You cant do that Luke”

“I-I didn’t… it just happened” Luke shook his head, surprised with himself.

“We cant do this anymore. Not if you’re going to get attached.” Amber explained, rinsing some conditioner out of her hair then turned off the shower.

“You don’t have to be a bitch about it, Amber” Luke glared, getting out of the shower and slamming the bathroom door shut.

“Yes I do!” Amber yelled.


&&&&&&&&&&&

Amber finished her Politics test and handed it into her teacher, grinning slightly. She passed; she knew it. She barely got into lunch when she got to school because the little spat with Luke made her get to school later than she wanted to.

It was her last class of the day and tomorrow was Friday. It was the night when she got to chill with her closest friends. They didn’t go to her school and she liked it that way. Well, except for Rae.

Amber’s phone gently buzzed inside her Prada purse. It was a text message from Luke.

-Did u cool down yet?- it read.

Amber drew her brows together. Screw you, she thought, glaring at her phone.

-Did u finally cum to realize it wont work b/w us wit a ‘ship?- she typed back to him.

-I already kno that-

-Then don’t do that again-

-R we chillin 2nite?-

-Dad is in town. Going to dinner wit him. Cant- Amber rolled her eyes, sighing and looking around the room. Everyone was done with their test too and were either sleeping, talking or staring into space.

-Dam. Party at my house 2morrow then. ‘Rents out of town- he typed and that made Amber smile.

-Good deal- she replied then put her phone back into her purse.

“Rae” Amber called to the blond quietly. “Rae!”

“Yea?” Rae smiled, fixing her hair.

Jordan sat up a little straighter in her seat, clearing wanting to know what was going on. Amber rolled her eyes at the bitch.

“Tomorrow. Luke’s house. We’re going to chill there for a while.” Amber said coolly, smirking.

“Cool” Rae grinned.

Amber attended an expensive, prude private school. They were forced to wear certain starched skirts and button up shirts that looked hideous on anyone. But if you wanted to go somewhere in life -and if your parents could shell out the money- you went there for your education. There were more drug deals going on in the school than there were in the public school down the street. The teachers were friendly and the faculty was oblivious.

Amber noticed Jordan smirking to herself but didn’t give it much thought. She was just a stupid bitch anyways. She looked at her nails, making a mental note to get a manicure and pedicure soon. I need a spa day, she thought, cracking her neck. She was too tense for her own liking.

“See you on Monday!” the teacher called to her students when the bell rang.


&&&&&&&&&&&

Rae and Amber made their way out of the classroom, heading towards the parking lot. Rae was going on -very excitedly- about how Tony was taking her to a nice hotel over the weekend so they could spend some time together. Lately they had been having trouble because they went to different schools and only saw each other for a few hours every other day -if that.

Amber caught Jordan with her boyfriend Craig out of the corner of her eye watching her walk out of the building. Craig followed Jordan around like a lost puppy and was actually pretty cute. Amber’s favorite thing to do was cast him heated looks just to piss Jordan off. When Jordan glared at Amber, it set her off.

The next thing Amber realized, she was standing in front of Jordan and Craig. Rae was next to her, trying to pull her to the parking lot. Amber squared her shoulders and took out a pen, gently grabbing Craig’s hand and caressing it slightly. He visibly shuddered.

“What the hell are you doing?” Jordan snapped, fixing her purse on her shoulder.

“Here’s my number Craig” Amber ignored Jordan completely. “If you ever want to know what its like with a real woman… give me a call”

By this time, Jordan was giving Amber a murderous look, clenching her jaw in rage. “Who the hell do you think you are?” she muttered.

Amber ignored her again and winked at Craig, trailing her fingers down his chest. That should do it, she thought, smirking. “See you around”

“Amber!” Jordan threatened, watching the brunette walk away to her car.


Rae was dissolving in her own giggles on the way, gasping for air “Did you see…the look on her face!?” Rae laughed, “freaking priceless”

“She’s a stupid bitch if she thinks that she intimidates me whatsoever” Amber grinned.


It was a known fact that Amber and Jordan didn’t just hate each other. It was a complicated web full of competition, jealously and spitefulness. It had started their freshman year… when Jordan ‘stole’ Amber’s boyfriend. From there on, the girls fought and glared and competed to be the best, the most popular… it was a long time feud. The relationship was based on who’s family had more money, who had the newest and most expensive clothes, purses and jewelry, and most of all… who could just piss off the other the most.

Last year, their junior year, Amber had made up a rumor about Jordan that the blonde had slept with most of the football and baseball team right after Jordan tried to convince everyone that Amber was pregnant and due in the summer. They even had a small cat fight in the girls locker room in the beginning of the year. Amber went home with a busted lip and Jordan sported a lovely blackened eye for about a week and a half.

“Amber!” the two girls heard a voice call over to them. Amber turned around slowly and placed one hand on her hip.

“What Jordan?” she sighed, rolling her eyes.

“Who the hell do you think you are?” Jordan sneered, crossing her arms in front of her obviously silicone filled breasts.

“Fuck you, Jordan” Amber retorted. Rae sighed and leaned against a car. This was going to take some time. “I don’t know why Craig even puts up with your sorry ass. He deserves to be with a woman who has some class… not some white trash whore trying to convince everyone that she’s worth more than laying on her back.”

Jordan raised her chin defiantly. “Don’t take out your issues on me. You’ve always been so jealous of me because everyone knows your such a fucking whore and I’m not”

“Hmm” Amber hummed, licking her lips. “I’ve got places to be and this” she said, motioning to the space in between them “is a waste of my time.” Amber turned her back and grinned to Rae, who smirked back. They started making their way to their cars.

“Going off to see your fuck buddy then?” Jordan laughed. “Its really very sad. Miss Amber Michaels cant even handle an actual mature relationship… pathetic”

Amber stalked over to Jordan and shot her a nasty look. “You are the fucking pathetic one, Jordan. You are. You will never be anything or get anywhere in life because your very existence is a shitty waste of space. You are a stupid whore. Fuck you. You don’t even know me.” her voice was dropped to a dangerous tone. “And if you ever talk to me again or look at me… I will fuck your life up so much, you wont know what to do with yourself. Don’t fuck with me.”

“We’ll see.” Jordan said quietly and walked away.
