It had been a week since Chelia had met Wendy. Things seemed to move so fast. She already felt really close to Wendy. Chelia was still confused about how she felt around Wendy but had tried to forget about it. Unfortunately, that was not as easy as it sounds.
Chelia was walking into school when she saw Romeo, Elena and Wendy and walked over to them, saying hello. Wendy was wearing her hair up in two pigtails, which was something Chelia had not seen on her before. Normally she wore it down. "Your hair looks nice, Wendy." Chelia said before she knew what she was doing. Both girls started blushing furiously. "Umm... thanks." Wendy replied, even though Chelia's hair looked the same as always. "Hey what about me!" Romeo said in mock hurt. "Does my hair look nice?"
"Yes you look nice." Elena giggled with a slight blush on her face. It was obvious she was not just talking about his hair. Romeo blushed back and gave a small smile. Meanwhile, Wendy and Chelia were giving each other small looks and blushing. Elena turned round and looked at them curiously, before looking away again.
A little later on, the three girls were in P.E class. The whole class had split up into groups of three. Each group had been given a rounders bat and told to practise batting. It was currently Wendy's turn and she was failing miserably. "Ugh! Why is this so difficult!" She cried in annoyance. She had yet to land a single hit on the ball. "Come on, I'll help you." Chelia said, walking over to Wendy. She stood behind Wendy and held onto her hands, moving them into a good position to hit the ball. She felt herself starting to blush but she didn't know why. It was just a friend helping another friend. She would have normally been right, but the blushes on both girls faces said otherwise. As Elena threw the ball at them, they swung the bad in sync and hit the ball. "Yes! Finally!" Wendy shouted on glee, turning around to hug Chelia. "Thanks Chelia!"
"No problem!" Chelia replied, hugging back. They hugged for several seconds until reluctantly pulling away. Chelia turned round to see Elena giving her a strange look. She was about to ask her what was wrong, but the teacher called them back for the end of the lesson. I'll ask her later Chelia decided.
The bell rang for lunch and Chelia stood up and started to walk towards her usual lunch table with Elena. Wendy and Romeo had been in a different lesson to them. "Chelia, I need to talk to you. In private." Elena said before Chelia could reach the table. "Umm...ok." Chelia said as the girls walked to somewhere private. As soon as they were out of earshot, Elena spoke. "Do you like Wendy?" Elena asked. Chelia was stunned. She had no idea what to say, so she decided to play dumb. "Well of course I like her!" Chelia said, trying her best not to sound nervous. "She is my friend!" Elena raised her eyebrows at this.
"Come on Chelia. I know you know what I mean." Elena sighed.
Chelia said nothing for a few seconds. "Umm... n-no." Chelia finally said.
"Come on Chelia. I've seen you blush around her and You're always looking at her. I've never seen you so happy all the time. It obvious. Give me a truthful answer." Elena said.
"Well I... I don't know! I've never felt like this before. It's so confusing! I mean Wendy's a... girl." Chelia spoke, hesitantly.
"And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that." Elena said firmly.
"But... doesn't it weird you out?" Chelia asked in a quiet voice.
"No!" Elena said. "Sure, I wasn't expecting it. Although thinking back, you never even gave a second thought to all those boys I tried to set you up with. I originally thought I just had to keep trying, but now I see I should have just let things play out by themselves. But that doesn't matter now. What matters is your my friend, Chelia and nothing will ever change that. Not you being a lesbian. Not anything. Now tell me again. Do you like Wendy?"
Chelia stopped to think for a second. She thought about Wendy. She thought about the laugh and smile that she loved so much. She thought about the feeling she got when she touched he soft warm hands. She thought about how just being with Wendy and talking to her made her happy. Finally, she thought about how kind Wendy had been to her and how she wanted to repay that kindness and be the one to make Wendy smile. "Yes..." Chelia finally said. Elena grinned.
"I knew it!" She said. "Now I just have to get you two together!"
"One step at a time!" Chelia laughed. "Lets go and eat lunch." She said. The two girls then started walking towards the lunch table, both smiling widely.
"Where have you two been?" Romeo asked as the girls sat down at the table. "Nowhere." Elena said as Chelia gave a quick glance towards Wendy. "Whatever you say!" Romeo laughed. The rest of the day flew by. Chelia found she was blushing even more around Wendy after she realised she liked her.
At home Chelia gets a text from Elena asking when she will ask Wendy out. Chelia says she is worried Wendy is straight. Elena says she will find out.
When Chelia got home, she went straight to her room. She tiptoed up the stairs as her uncle may be asleep. He always got angry when she woke him up. She entered her room and immediately flopped onto her bed. When she grabbed her phone she realised she had a text from Elena.
Elena: we need a plan to get u and Wendy together.
Chelia smiled at this. Suddenly a thought entered her head. It was something she had not yet considered.
Chelia: what if she's straight?
As Chelia typed the message she became increasingly worried.
Elena: I don't think u don't need to worry about that ;-) but I'll find out anyway.
As Chelia read the text, she wondered why Elena thought she didn't need to worry about it. Chelia replied straight away.
Chelia: how will u find out?
Chelia was a little worried about what Elena's method might be.
Elena: u will find out at school ;-)
All Chelia could do now was wait.
So, that's chapter three! This may sound weird but I'm so proud of myself for getting this far. I though for sure I'd do one chapter and then just forget about it. Lol and this is only chapter three! Anyway, hope anyone who read it enjoyed! Also, thank you to the guest who reviewed. Really appreciated!
