Musings of a Girl
She was scared. Scared to tell Janis what was in the Burn Book, scared that Janis would vehemently deny the accusation, or even worse: shrug and say: "Yeah? So what?", thereby implying she didn't think it was an big deal, that she wasn't interested, that she didn't really give a damn…
Effectively dashing her hopes.
So she didn't. She avoided her eyes and said: "Nothing."
The response was not what she'd expected: "That bitch!"
Almost as if she was daring them to say…
No. Not. A. Chance, girl, so get your mind off her!
And besides. If she wanted to come out, she would be old news by now, and not just the topic of many a rumour in the cafeteria.
She probably wasn't ready. Hell, she probably wasn't at all!
God knows you're certainly not ready…
Hell no! Not only would the plastics kill her, she would be ostracised! Probably the only ones who would still accept her, would be Janis and Damian… and she didn't think she could deal with that.
The Plastics, she didn't care about. They just wanted to assimilate her, make her some sort of brainless fashion robot. They could drop dead, or at the very least get hit by a bus, for all she cared!
Damian wouldn't care either way, he'd be just as nice as he was the first day, when she was trying to find a socially acceptable seat in the classroom.
Janis… Janis was another story. She was really the source of her troubles! Ok, not entirely, but still… if Janis hadn't been there, she never would've fallen in love with her… a girl for God's sake! Who would've expected that! She never had a clou before, that she really liked girls…
Or maybe she just liked both. That could happen, couldn't it? Janis would probably be fine with it. I mean, she was fine with Damian, wasn't she?
But what if she were… and just wasn't interested beyond friendship?
Or what if she were… and she was interested?
That was probably the best thing that could happen… in theory…
