Later that day at lunch time Emily and Aria were sitting in the cafeteria together and both girls didn't say anything but then Aria harrumphed.
'If you wanna ask me something then do it now', Emily said and smiled cheeky.
'Okay, since when do you like Paige? I mean she insulted you and her dad did this thing in the cafeteria to you. Please, don't understand me wrong. I am glad for you. I mean after Maya left Rosewood you needed so much time to become normal again and so I am really glad for you and Paige to be together.'
I actually can't really tell why I feel like that right now but yesterday Paige messaged me I felt really bad on one side and very lucky and loved on the other side.
'Wait, that exists since yesterday?', Aria asked a bit perplex.
So Emily told her the whole story of how they met last night and what happened between the two girls.
After Emily finished her talk Aria sat on her chair saying nothing. The only thing she did was smiling.
'Could you please say something cause it is really bad to tell your best friend about your last night only getting a smile as an answer .' Emily said and sounded a bit insecure.
The next morning Aria started jumping around the desk and after a few minutes she sat down again.
'Do you know how freaking cute that is, Em? I never thought that something like that can happen between you and Paige. Be careful with that girl. She seems to be awesome and you should do everything to not lose her.' Aria said really enthusiastic and went around the desk again and hugged her very hard.'
'Look, there is Paige. Don#t you want to introduce us? This morning before the first class we had no chance to get to know each other.'
Emily saw Paige too and shouted for her. Paige heard that and smiled. She came to the desk of the two girls and sat down next to Emily.
'Hi, Em', she said and kissed her short but passionate.
'Hi, sweetie, Aria asked if I could introduce you two to each other. So yeah, that's Aria', she said and pointed at Aria,' and that's Paige, the girl that told me that she loved me last night.'
'Uhm, that's really interesting', Aria said,'but I have a question. Am I allowed to ask?'
'I don't know why you should not, Aria', Paige said,'so, what is your question?'
'Okay, so, how come that you suddenly love Emily cause last week I saw you and a guy dating in Philadelphia.', Aria said and looked very serious for the moment.
'Uhm, Aria, I have to explain that. That has a reason. Until last week I was not able to be honest to myself. I knew I was different but I didn't want to admit it. But then after I met this guy all those things with Emily happened and I admitted to myself that I am gay. And since last week I also know why I never was able to talk to you, Em. I always had a crush on you. I mean you are awesome. You are so beautiful and every time I looked in your eyes when you didn't notice I felt good but I never knew it was because of you. And, well, now I do.'
The three girls were quiet until Aria took a deep breathe.
'Okay, Paige, you are totally okay and you will be very awesome with Emily. I wish you luck', Aria said and stood up,'We will talk later, Em, I have to go to Ezra, uhm, Mr. Fitz.'
'Okay, see you later,' Emily answered and Aria disappeared,'And we have to talk later. Wanna come over tonight?'
'Of course, I want. What about 8pm?
'Sounds good. I've got plans.', Emily said and bit her lip and smiled.
'I am very curious', Paige said and gave Emily a slight kiss on her forehead. Then she stood up and disappeared too.
