FRIDAY AFTER SCHOOL*

I finally got Amy's phone number. We texted every day.

While I was sitting at home and then my phone started buzzing.

Amy was facetiming me. So, I answered.

"Hey girl." she said.

"Heeeyyy."

Our facetime call probably lasted the whole day. We even did a sleep over on our phones. She fell asleep before me. She was so cute when she was sleeping.

When I woke up in the morning, she was awake. I've never laughed that much in a long time. She brings out the best of me.

"Hey sleepy head I said." I said.

"Hey. Would you want to come over today and sleepover?" she asked. "I want to see you today."

"Yeah sure."

I went and asked my mom and she was able to drive me. When I arrived, we just talked for a bit.

"People say I look like I'm 17." she said. "I'm only 15."

"Yeah, I've heard that before too." I said. "I'm going to be 15 this month."

A FEW HOURS LATER*

"Can I tell you something Millie?"

"Yeah, of course."

"This is going to be harder than I thought."

"You can tell m-"

"I'm gay." She cut me off.

"Wow." I said to myself.

"Ok." I said. "You're still my friend."

She still looked worried about something but she didn't say anything about it so I didn't bother asking.

Then, she hugged me. Tighter than last time. We probably stayed there for about 5 minutes, just holding each other. Then we layed down while still holding each other. I wasn't complaining. Then we fell asleep in each others arms.

When I woke up Amy was still asleep, we were still in each others arms. It was about 8am.

"Oh shit." I whispered to myself.

I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to move because then she would wake up, and I had to admit, I was pretty comfortable.

Then, she finally woke up. Then she realized the postion we were in.

"Oh. I'm sorry." she said. "Didn't mean to snuggle you all night."

"It's ok. It was pretty comforting to be honest."

"That's good." Then Amy went to the bathroom.

Then my phone went off. It was Toni.

"Hey! Would you like to come to my place today and hang out?"

"Hi. I'm sorry, but I can't, I slept over at Amy's and now we're going to hang out today."

"Oh, ok. Have fun."

"Thanks."

When I was done texting, Amy came back into the room.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"Play a game?" I said.

"Sure." she said. "Never have I ever? That seems like a game where we can learn more about each other."

"Ok." I said. "You go first."

"Ok. Never have I ever...kissed someone."

"Oh you're going right in there with the more personal stuff aren't ya." I said with a laugh. "I have actually."

"With who?"

"Justin." I said. "What about you?"

"Oh, I haven't had my first kiss yet."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll get it some day with someone special."

"You really think so?"

"Yeah, of course." I said with confidence. "Who wouldn't want to kiss you. You're beautiful. Whoever it is will be a lucky person."

Amy smiled really big. Her cheeks were red.

"Well Justin must be a lucky guy."

"Yeah I guess. I'm more of the lucky one. He's a great guy."

"I bet."

When we finished our game, we talked a bit more.

"Hey, would you like to take a picture together?" Amy asked. "I want to remember today."

"Yeah, sure."

Then we took a nice selfie and then she sent it to me and put it on her story on snapchat. Then I also posted it too.

The next day at school, when we were in Geography Amy wasn't there.

"So how was the sleepover with Amy." asked Toni.

"It was pretty fun."

"You guys seem to be very close in just a month." said Alyssa.

"Yeah so?"

"Just saying." she said.

"Where did you even sleep?" asked Justin.

"Ummm, well like, in the same bed. It's hard to explain. I was going to sleep on the floor but-."

"Just explain, it's fine." said Justin.

"Well she ummm, told me she was gay so I said that no matter what I'll still be there for her. So we hugged for a while and fell asleep."

"Can I talk to you for a second Millie?" said Justin.

I followed him out of the room.

"I think we should break up." he said. "I still love you it's just that, you seem like you don't love me as much as you say you do, even though you think you do."

"But I do love you."

"I know, but even though you say you don't like Amy, the way you look at her, you always talk about her to us. I know some day you'll realize it."

"But.."

"We can still be very good friends Millie." he said. "It's ok. Be with whoever you want to be with."

"What about the dance coming up in a few weeks." I asked. "I thought we would go together."

"It's ok." he said. "You can go with Amy, even if it's just as friends."

But I don't even think I want to be with Amy. She seems like a very good friend to me and even if I did like her, I wouldn't want to ruin that.

Then Justin gave me a hug.

"I love you Millie."

"I love you too."

Then he smiled and walked away.

A FEW DAYS LATER*

Since it our schedule switched order every week, first period was gym.

Amy and I haven't talked in a few days because I took a few days to think about everything and what I was going to do. Then she came up to me.

"Hey Millie. Would you like to come to my place? We haven't talked in a while. I'm curious about what's been going on."

"Yeah, sure." I said. "Not much has happened, so it won't be very interesting."

LUNCH*

When Amy and I got to her place, we went up into her room.

"So how has things been going?"

Right away, I thought about Justin. I started to cry.

"Hey, hey, hey. Whats wrong?"

"Justin broke up with me."

"Oh. I'm so sorry." she said. "He doesn't deserve you."

"He does."

"Why?"

"Because, he broke up with me because he thinks me and you will be together or something." Amy looked down. She looked unsteady and nervous.

"Millie." Her voice was suddenly shaky.

"Yes?"

"You know the time I...came out."

"Yeah?"

"Well there's more to it..."

"Ok. What is it." I asked. "I told you nothing will make not want to be friends with you."

"Well I forgot to mention the fact that...I...like you."

I started to feel butterflies in my stomach.

"Wait what?" I said. "You-."

She kissed me. Then we came apart after a second.

My expression must have made her feel guilty because she got up and talked while walking the other way.

"Oh my god." she said. "I shouldn't have done that. That was so stupid. I am so-."

I grabbed her and kissed her for a second.

We looked at each other for a few seconds. Then we both started kissing each other, pulling each other close, we wouldn't stop. I realized what was happening but I didn't want to stop.
