Fifth grade, OSS, day 3

Gracie's POV

After Ivy stopped crying it was clear she didn't want to talk about what happened. We knew our cabin leader would be calling us soon and so we knew we had to be quick.

"Hey, please don't say anything to anyone" she said while looking at the ground. I didn't know what parts she meant so I choose to not say any of it. Who would I tell? Then I knew I had to ask something.

I stopped her. I decided to tell her the truth.

"Ivy, I came out looking for you. I heard Amanda and Ashley call you names but I didn't know what they were talking about." I stared at my feet as I said this. She looked horrified so I decided to leave out the last thing Amanda said.

"I want you to know" I continued "that I have to talk to Amanda. No one talks to my friend like that".

"No no no, you can't" she pleaded "Please promise me you won't say anything to her"

I could hear the plea and desperateness in her voice.

"Ok I promise" I said.

Amanda's POV

Gracie and Ivy walked in and I could see that Ivy had been crying. Good, I thought. But why is Gracie still hanging out with her. I told Ivy that Gracie isn't like her. I guess ill have to tell her myself.

Late that night

Gracie's POV

Today has been a tough one. Ivy hasn't said anything all day and is really sad. I am thinking of going back on my word when she comes over to me. It's midnight. What could she want? She points outside and I nod. I grab a jacket and head out after her.

The moon is full and I make her out and see her face almost perfectly. She isn't smiling.

"What do you want, I'm freezing" I complain.

"Why does everyone who comes out her with me say that? It's not even that cold" she says. "And I wanted to talk to you about Ivy"

At the sound of her name I suddenly become angry at Amanda.

"You mean how you and Ashley were so mean to her for no reason and made her cry?" I say.

"For no reason?" she says and gives a quiet laugh "There is plenty of reason and if she won't tell you then maybe I should"

Then before she could finish, Ivy comes through the door. I can see that she has been listening the whole time.

"Amanda, I'll tell her" she says while again looking at her feet.

Amanda raises an eyebrow and shrugs. She purposely bumps shoulders with Ivy.

For a minute she just stands there looking everywhere but me. She is about a step and a half away from me. I can make out her face from the moon.

"Ivy" I say and take a step towards her "You don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to. And whatever it is, I'm still your friend"

"No" she says "I want to be the one to tell you"

I wait for her to continue but she doesn't.

"Ivy" I start to say but before I could finish she kisses me! My eyes go wide and it takes a couple seconds to take it all in. Not liking any guys, the boys clothes, everything. How could I have missed it. Ivy's a lesbian.

I pull away and just stare at her. She looks at me with horrified eyes like she can't believe she just did that. She ran inside.

"Ivy" I call out buts it's too late.

I walk inside and grab my pillow and sleep on the floor that night. Good thing its carpeted.
