Chapter 9

A/N Sorry, I've had exams then my laptop broke and is still being repaired and so I lost whatever I wrote for this chapter and after exams I realized I have completely forgotten the plot line. I'll update more and write longer chapters once my laptop comes back because no more school work whoo! If any of you have a more interesting plot please tell me, and enjoy this short chapter:) (even though it's sorta lame sorry)


Sara POV

The whole weekend I've been busy studying for a big test coming up and haven't gotten a chance to see Tegan so when I arrive to school on this dreaded Monday morning, I wait outside for her. But Stacy and Emy arrive first and so I start walking with them instead. They both look excited and I'm quick to ask why. "What's with all the smiles guys?"

"Sare guess what?"

"What?" I look at them.

"Michael Christian has a crush on you and everyone's jealous," Stacy says to me. Shit. Football Varsity captain... how am I supposed to turn him down without so many questions being asked?

"Oh, good to know, not interested though. What's first again?" I say trying to change the subject. I don't know if I'm ready to tell them about Tegan. I would love to, but I'm still afraid of this whole 'coming out' thing. What do I say? How do I even start? Jeez I haven't though much about it...

"How are you not interested? Or Sara do you have special somebody we are not aware of?" Stacy asks bewildered and keeping us on topic, while Emy just laughs.

I hesitate before replying, but in the end I know I shouldn't lie about Tegan, "Um... sorta, I guess."

"What!?" they both exclaim before I shush them. "Who is he?" Emy asks.

I realize I don't quite know their opinions on gay rights. My heart beats fast and I cross my fingers hoping it goes well."Well.. it's not a he..." I start. And speak of the devil at that moment Tegan walks in, thankfully looking down at her phone instead of me. I don't need that pressure right now. I look back at my two best friends with confused faces. "It's uh, it's Tegan, that girl over there," I say looking over at her. They follow my gaze for a second.

"You're kidding right?" Stacy asks.

"No, and I really hope you guys are okay about it. I don't want to lose my best friends. I really like her and I hope you guys will support me," I look down at the ground not quite knowing what's going to happen next.

"Whoa.. well that was unexpected," Emy says. Well at least it's not hate. "I guess that's cool, it's new, but I'm okay with it. I'm happy for you Sara, just don't go making out with her in front of us just quite yet." I chuckle and thank her for being to great. But then I look at Stacy and notice that she's not so cool about it.

"But, but- but she's a girl Sara..." She still looks shocked.

"Yea but it shouldn't matter," I don't know what else to say. I didn't exactly have much time to think about this and it definitely wasn't planned.

Emy comes to back me up, "So what if she's a lesbian. Wait Sara are you a lesbian?" she asks me a little unsure.

"I guess so.. I haven't exactly labelled myself," I tell her truthfully.

"Oh ok you don't have to," she turns back to Stacy, "Stace it doesn't matter, she's still the same and your best friend." I guess she noticed my worried expression. That's what I love most about Emy, she always sticks up for me and we're as close as family.

Just then I head her cheerful voice behind me, "Hey Sare,"

"Um, I have to think about this first," Stacy says and walks away. I'm left downhearted and turn around to say hi to Tegan before falling onto her shoulder and hugging her looking for some sort of comfort.

"Uh, everything okay here Sare?" she questions, looking at Emy for answers when I don't reply.

"Hi, I'm Emy, Sara's friend. She just told us about you guys and Stacy didn't take it as well. I'm happy for you guys, just keep the PDA down for a while ok,"

I hear Tegan laugh and introduce herself as well. My mood lifts when I see Tegan and Emy getting along so I peel myself from Tegan and sigh, "Thanks Emy."

We chat for a little while before the bell rings and we all walk to our classes. I'm glad I've finally told them, but I really hope Stacy comes around soon.
