Chapter 6: The News

[Sydney has been trying to find a way to tell her dad the news about her and Olive. She has been stressing over it and decided that she will just tell him. Max is in the living room watching TV, and Sydney slowly walked up to him, thinking about how her dad might react.]

Sydney: Hey dad. Can we talk?

Max: Sure honey!

Sydney: So, I'm kind of in a relationship with somebody at my school.

Max: That's awesome honey! How is it going with you girls?

Sydney: You know me and Olive are dating?

Max: *chuckles* The other day when you two were hanging out and eating snacks, I was going to your room to ask if you guys were alright. Then, when I was looking through the tiny crack you left in the doorway, and saw you two kiss.

Sydney: So, you're not mad I'm dating a girl?

Max: Honey, it doesn't matter what gender you date, as long as your happy together.

Sydney: Thanks dad! I'm so happy you understand!

[Sydney then goes back to her room and calls Olive to tell her the good news.]

Sydney: Olive, my dad totally understood!

Olive: That's amazing Syd! So, do you know what you want our first date to be?

Sydney: Yes, I was thinking about going to the movie theater to see "It: Chapter 2".

Olive: Awesome! I love scary movies!

Sydney: Me too! I can't wait for us to go on Saturday!

Olive: Me too!

Sydney: I'm gonna ask my dad if he can give us a ride.

Olive: Ok. I love you.

Sydney: I love you too. Bye.

Olive: Bye.

[Sydney hangs up the phone and watches TV for about 15 minutes and then takes a shower and then goes to bed. She thinks about Olive and slowly falls asleep thinking about her.]
