Cornucopia of Love – Secrets Out
It's 6th year, and the Yule Ball is just around the corner. And love, gay AND straight love, is in the air. Ever since Harry and Draco hooked up, it seems that everyone started to come out. Shana, one of my close friends, has been running around with every guy she fancies. Lakie however, has been running around with four people. I, the Ravenclaw with the birth name DK, hasn't found him/her yet. Yes, I'm bisexual. And why DK? I don't really know, it's just a nickname. Everywhere you look there are hands in hands. From gay couples, to lesbian couples, to straight couples. And frankly, I'm tired of being alone. And lately my eye has been wondering in Pansy's direction…
"DK, are you okay?" Shana's hand was waving in front of my face and broke my concentration.
"Oh, yeah, sorry I was just, thinking" I went back to twisting my fork in a pile of mashed potatoes.
"You haven't eaten much, you feeling okay?" said Shana
"Yeah I'm fine it's just"
"You're sick of being alone?" I looked up and lifted my eyebrow, staring at her.
"Yeah how'd you know?"
"Well, that's all you've been saying since everyone found love" I looked back down at my plate and continued twisting my fork again.
"Well, It's true" I said, eyeing my fork. After a few minutes people started emerging from there seats and heading to there houses. I felt someone poke me in the shoulder, so I turned around to see who it was.
"You alive?" Lakie said with a smile. I smiled back and nodded, standing up. Shana, Lakie, and I started walking together until Lakie turned a corridor to head to the Slytherin house while Shana and I headed to the Ravenclaw house. I watched as Lakie flew right past Pansy; I took my focus off of Lakie and went to Pansy. Her long, black, flowing hair, her bright green eyes, just some how mesmerized me. I broke my focus when she turned a corner, and turned my attention to Shana, who was now staring at me.
"Were you just staring at Pansy?" Shana lifted her eyebrow and smiled. I felt myself turn red with a straight face; I didn't answer and started walking. Sure Shana knew that I was bisexual, considering she was too, and so is Lakie. But I didn't want Shana to find out I was crushing Pansy.
"You were, weren't you?" I quickened my pace as I heard her catch up.
"You have to answer me sometime" I stopped in my tracks and stared at my feet. I thought for a moment, and then decided I can't hide it forever. She was going to find out sooner or later…
"I was, just, well…"
"I knew it! You like Pansy don't you?" I turned to face Shana, still staring at my feet.
"Why do you figure out everything?" Shana smiled widely and plunged into a hug.
"That's great DK! You found someone you love!"
"There's just one problem"
"What?"
"Pansy isn't a lesbian or bi"
"…oh yeah"
"I might as well forget about it…lets just go back to our rooms okay?" I looked down at my feet once more and started walking, thinking, I'm never going to get what I want…
