The pair walked home in silence for quiet some time, not caring to speak or even look at one another. Finally, Kelsey grew tired of the silence and spoke, wishing to understand Paige’s strange behavior.
“So, um, Paige, care to explain yourself? I mean, back in the locker room, it was… kinda weird.” Kelsey said, still not looking at her friend, just the concrete sidewalk directly in front of her.
“Well… I, ah… I’m sorry Kelsey, I know it was stupid. It’s just… well… to be completely honest, when I saw Jennifer… naked like that… I don’t know what came over me.” Paige said, also avoiding eye contact. Kelsey nearly stumbled; she had to stop and grabbed Paige’s shoulder to stop her.
“Paige, are… are you telling me what I think you’re telling me? Are you… are you gay?” Kelsey said, not sure what to think.
“No! At least, I don’t think am… It was weird okay…” Paige started walking again. Kelsey dashed to keep up.
“Look, if you are, I don’t care…”
“I’m not a lesbian. What happened today was just a weird fluke. I’ve never had those feelings before and haven’t since. Maybe the hormones from running or something…” The mention of hormones brought something to the forefront of Kelsey’s mind.
“What about the pills? Maybe they screwed up your hormones!”
“What? No, no… They’re perfectly safe. All natural, remember?” Paige argued.
“Humph, I don’t know… They’re the only thing that’s changed. The day after you take them, you’re… uh, rubbing yourself.” Kelsey tried to be tactful.
“Nah, its coincidence… Even if it’s not being a little horny is a small price to pay.” Paige turned at her street. “I’ll see ya, Kel, and don’t worry about the pills! Just think of the scholarship!” Paige yelled as she ran down the street.
Kelsey watched as her friend ran to her house. She was a lot faster. Kelsey had to take notice of Paige’s butt. It seemed larger now, packed with muscle, filling her friend’s jeans impressively. Maybe she shouldn’t dismiss those pills just yet.
