Delilah never thought she would fall in love with her best friend. Especially considering her best friend is a girl.
It all started when the science teacher assigned a project in March, Alana and Delilah went in a group with another friend, Charlie. Alana was always Delilah's favorite, Alana was just a bit shorter than Delilah, with light brown hair just a little lower than her shoulders, creamy white skin, small but beautiful brown eyes and the most perfect pair of lips Delilah had ever seen.
Delilah always admired Alana, even though Delilah always teased Alana she knew deep down how much she really cared about her. Alana teased Delilah too, that's one of the reasons Delilah liked her.
Months passed, and they hadn't done anything on the project. And one day Alana invited just Charlie to her house. They ended up doing the whole project and Delilah just felt terrible, she knew Alana was mad. She wanted to apologize so badly, but she was scared Alana would reject her apology...
The day of the science fair came, and Alana was absent, so Delilah used the opportunity and got the guts to apologize to Charlie,
"Hey, uh, look I'm really sorry… that I didn't do anything"
"It's fine" Charlie said,
"I'm sooo sorry" Delilah said again,
"It's fine!"
"I would feel better if you said you forgave me…" Delilah smiled,
"Okay I forgive you!" Charlie laughed,
Now I can apologize to Alana Delilah thought, but she didn't. And eventually, it was Alana's birthday. Delilah planned everything, she went to school early and wrapped her locker, and she pasted a little piece of paper over the wrapping paper and made everyone sign it.
They sung Happy birthday and Alana seemed happy, her smile was perfect, Delilah thought. There was a field trip that day and Alana said something on the field trip that just made Delilah want to hug her tight promising to never be so stupid again, but Alana and Delilah never hugged, despite how much Delilah wanted to in her mind she would never admit it to Alana,
"Thank you.. For the locker" Alana said, she looked solemn
"You're welcome" Delilah replied happily,
The day went great after that Delilah and Alana talked normally and Delilah couldn't be happier. But after that day, it went back to Alana hating her.
And Delilah pretty much cried herself to sleep whenever she thought about her.
Every time Delilah talked to Alana; she would just give her the look, when her eyes looked at her with no expression on her face and her lips just a thin line. It scared the crap out of Delilah. She wanted to apologize so badly. But she was scared, and eventually it had been four months.
Delilah was quite in class, especially around Alana. One day she was in bed thinking about how she could apologize to Alana and one popped into her head, where she told Alana how sorry she was, asking why she was so mad. And Alana said it was because she loved her. Delilah laughed, like that would ever happen. She never even thought of any girls in that way. But for some reason, with Alana she just didn't stop. She pictured Alana taking Delilah's face in her hands and kissing Delilah passionately. Delilah still didn't stop. Closing her eyes and thinking about how she just knew that Alana's lips would feel so soft against hers. How she would taste and how Delilah would trail her hand over Alana's perfect soft skin, how she would lose herself in the kiss, losing her hands in her hair and taking in the sweet smell of her. She would never admit how she loved it.
And that's when Delilah knew, she was inexplicably in love with Alana.
