After an amazing lunch at a small lunchroom near the park Elektra felt a lot more at ease and started asking Sadie some questions.

"Why aren't you at school?" She asked.

"Umm... Well. I don't really have any friends there. And I don't like the subjects. I already know most of it so why would I still go there? I only need my diploma, that's it." Sadie said. "And you?"

"Same..." Elektra sighed.

"Sucks, right?" Sadie said. "But I'm glad I've met you. We should hang out more often. Not just here."

"I just wanted to say that! But what's your last name? I'd like to add you on Facebook."

"Venables," Sadie said. "Sadie Venables."

Elektra giggled.

"Bond, James Bond." She laughed.

"Hahaha, I didn't mean it like that!"

Elektra took her phone out of her pocket and logged on to Facebook to add Sadie. But she realised she was still logged on as Mandy Perkins.

"I'll add you at home." Elektra said, while putting her phone away. "I can't connect to Facebook here."

"Oh well... We're together now aren't we?" Sadie smiled.

Elektra smiled back. She wasn't used to smiling so often, but when Sadie smiled she really couldn't help herself. She had the most amazing smile.

"I'm so glad I've met you," Sadie said. "I mean... How often do you meet someone with the same sort of humour, same taste in food, same situation at school. Like, wow... And I think it's so funny that you're gay too."

"Excuse me?" Elektra asked.

"What?"

"I'm not gay!"

"You're not?"

Sadie looked as if Elektra had just insulted her.

"Of course I'm not! Do I look like a lezzer to you?"

"Well... I... I don't..." Sadie stammered. "I just assumed you..."

"You were wrong!" Elektra said angrily. "Oh my God... I can't believe this."

"Neither can I! You let me hug you, kiss you on the cheek, put my arm around you... I really thought you liked that." Sadie said.

"Well... I don't if you're a lesbian! Honestly, what the hell did you think?"

Elektra stood up from the table.

"Elektra, wait, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you!" Sadie said as Elektra walked away.

"Forget it!"

Elektra didn't feel bad at all for leaving Sadie with the bill. How could she? Elektra was so disappointed. She thought she found a friend. Someone she could just talk to. She thought the hugs were just friendly gestures. Elektra started walking through the city without any goal. She didn't know where to go or what to do. She still couldn't get Sadie out of her head. Even though she was a lesbian, she still seemed to be the perfect human being. What a disappointment.

Why did Sadie think she was gay? Until she had to catch the bus again she tought it over and over. Did she look like a lesbian? Did she say lesbian things? Did she act lesbian? She didn't, did she? She started to feel bad for making a fool out of herself in front of Sadie, and even worse for leaving her with the bill. She ruined it. She would never see her again. She would never see the girl of her dreams again.

The girl of her dreams? On the bus it hit her like a ton of bricks. She had been feeling weird after seeing Sadie for the first time, but now it felt as if she was completely empty and cold. As if someone had just sucked everything out of her. That very moment she realised the was in love with Sadie. Everything she'd ever read about being in love was exactly the same. Oh my... Elektra was in love. With a girl. Sadie was right. Sadie knew her so well. She knew her even better than Elektra knew herself. That and the thought she was in love with a girl made her feel sick. Actually sick. When she got home she took off her clothes and lay down on her bed. She couldn't do anything, she didn't want to do anything. Actually all she wanted to do was cry. She was a lesbian. She was.

Everything made sense. Finally she understood why the boy talk of her female friends in her previous school didn't make any sense to her, and why she couldn't stop looking at her female teachers. She was gay. Why didn't she realise that before? Why didn't she just realise that yesterday when she fell in love with Sadie? If she did she wouldn't have to blow it like the did at the lunchroom. Elektra wanted to punch herself. How could she be thi stupid?
