Chapter 3
Quinn was a new transfer in my school. A blond - are you surprised?- green eyes, a smirk on her face. Hmm. She sounds a lot like Gabrielle come to think of it. Figures.
So I told Brittany all about it. I told Brittany all about the wonders and fears of my first crush. My first girl crush.
There I said it. My first girl crush.
It's not like I didn't know, really. I was reading slash alternate universe fics. In my world of fan fiction, that meant sex. A lot of girl on girl sex that I previously did not know about. And what I didn't know about, well, let's just say that was an awesome research site.
Hmm. These adults really should be filtering how I use the Internet more closely. But jinx, personal jinx! Not jinxing it no more! Touch wood.
So yeah, sapphic love. It kinda makes sense it would happen to me. It's not that I find boys revolting - well, I just think they're too immature. Like all they talk about was video games and farts and sports. Boring.
And I've seen the Ellen episode. You know? THE Ellen episode where she came out of the closet. Gave me a lot of strength to sorta admit that I may be a lesbian.
So I told Brittany that. Asked her what she thought about it. And you know what she said?
She congratulated me on being honest with myself. For not letting society define who I was and for not being in denial (but c'mon, seriously, I was totally into Xena, too much really, to even be remotely straight anymore).
You see why Britts is just so cool?
So I thanked her for her support and in my own naïveté, I downright asked her if she was gay too. Come to think of it now, those aren't the type of questions you ask your online friends, huh? Oh well. What's done is done.
To her credit, she did reply. Brittany always replied to everything I asked her. Even when I had stumbled upon the terms 'eating her out' various times in the many FFs that I read and asked her what it meant.
No. It never occurred to me that the answer would be online if I would've just searched for it. What do you think? There's a big encyclopedia out there for all these things? Get real. This is 1998.
So anyway. I think the term she used was asexual. Or was that pan sexual? I dunno. Labels confuse me. A lot of these fics that I read use those terms interchangeably, so in my head, I just assumed Brittany to be bisexual.
I mean, she did say its just the person she was attracted to and not quite the gender, so that made her a bi right? Hmm. I dunno.
Moving on.
Quinn. I've known the girl for a few months now - just slightly less than I've known Britts. Well, not known known, but you know what I mean?
And in these few months we had gotten closer and closer till I can really assure you that she seemed almost as into me as I was her.
This I told Brittany. And she was happy for me. Ecstatic even! She gave me all the advice needed to win over my girl and how to deal with the minor heartbreak I had when Quinn briefly went out with Sam, another classmate of mine.
So it only seemed natural that when I finally had the courage to tell Quinn how I felt about her, and have her say she liked me back, Brittany was again the first person I told.
I mean, after Quinn, who was now my new best (girl?) friend, Brittany sure came close. Right?
