I tried to pay attention to the movie as much as I could, but couldn't help staring at Parker. The way she laughed at David Hasslehoff's chest was adorable. Why didn't I notice this before? I'm attracted to parker and I didn't even know. So that's why I didn't want to stop looking at her when she was dancing at Mickey's. How did I not know this?

She turned to me and smiled before faking a yawn and stretching so that she could put her arm around my shoulders.

"Smooth, Parker. Very smooth," I whispered to her.

"Very smooth indeed," she whispered back to me in her pseudo British accent.

"Shh!" someone said to us.

I giggled, totally ignoring him. "Where did that come from?"

"What, my accent? It come and goes. You should try it sometime, Miss Randall," she said.

"Alright, I think I will, Miss Haines," I said in my fake accent.

"Hey, do you to wanna shut up? We're trying to watch a movie here," the same man yelled.

"Yeah, I didn't pay $8.50 to listen to you two," a woman backed him up.

Parker, keeping up with her accent responded.

"Oy! We paid for the bloody movie too, so sod off, you wankers!" I laughed harder.

"That's it, I'm getting the manager to throw you out," The man said.

"Yeah right. You don't have the guts!"

-1 minute later-

We sat down on the sidewalk. "Well, bugger me backwards, he did it!" I held on to my stomach. I felt like I would burst from laughing.

"See, it's fun to talk with different accents."

"I've never seen you act out that way before, Parker. What was up with that?"

"I don't know," she said, finally talking in her normal voice. She scooted closer to me. "All I know is that I haven't seen you so happy in a while, so if making a total ass of myself puts a smile on your face, Randy, I'm glad to do it." She took the strand of stray hair that blocked my face and tucked it behind my ear. "You're beautiful. You know that, right?"

"Sometimes it doesn't hurt to be told," I smiled. Parker gently placed her soft palms on my cheek and brought me in for a kiss. I got totally lost in it, until I heard something.

"That is just sick!" someone shouted from across the street. I pulled away to see a boy shake his head in disgust. "You people have no right to be here!"

I stared at him in shock.

"Lil, come on," Parker said as she tugged at my arm to try and get me to look away from him. "Don't listen to jerks like him. What do they know?"

What do they know?

(Monday morning)

I tried to push it out of my mind, but somehow, I couldn't. "That is just sick!" "You people don't belong here!" Those cruel words rang trough my ears all weekend. Sometimes, I thought that Parker was psychic. She was able to tell that I was thinking about it. That's why she asked me if I was upset about what he said, over and over again. Maybe I was just making it too obvious. I guess I did. Like when I pulled away so that she couldn't hold my hand when she walked me home, or when I said nothing after she told me what a good time she had. Why should I care what other people think? That's what conformists do. I'm not a conformist, I'm Lily Randall!

"Hey," Parker said nervously as she approached me in the hall.

"Hey, I said.

"Can we talk…in private?" She looked around at the busy hallway. Some students were on their way to their next class, while others relaxed on the staircase and against the walls.

"Sure," I said. Let's go outside." It was a bit awkward, the walk. We didn't go very far, but the silence felt like it was going to kill me.

"What's going on…with us? I mean, are we finished? Were we ever even a couple? I need to know. You're hurting me, Lily. You're really hurting me." I could see the tears start to form in her eyes. I felt terrible. I was so busy thinking of myself that I stopped thinking about how Parker felt.

"I'm sorry, Parks. I…I just never thought about the whole discrimination thing. It's never really happened to me, and I got scared. I want you to be my girl, I really do," I said, wiping away her tears.

"You really mean that?"

"Yes, I do. I'll never hurt you again. I promise."

"And I believe you."

"But Parker, You need to know that I'm not ready to come out yet."

"I know you're not. I'm not even sure that I want to. My parents would flip!"

"Tell me about it. I don't know if mine would even speak to me anymore. So this will stay a secret?"

"Yes. Until we're ready, this will be a secret."

"Now that that's out of the way, and we're all alone, can you please kiss me? It's been forever," I said.

"I can do that," She said closing the gap between us.

(Behind the trees)

Robbie stood with a satisfied look on his face. "So, Lily's playing for the wrong team now, eh? An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!"
