Chelia awoke and got ready for school as normal. However, before she could leave the house, her uncle grabbed her and turned her around to face him. "Don't be back late!" Her shouted in her face before shoving her out the door, not bothering to give her a reason. Chelia rapidly walked down the street towards the bus stop, not looking back at the always angry man whom she had lived with for the last five years of life.
At breaktime that day, chelia was constantly sending nervous looks towards Elena, waiting for her to get the desired information out of Wendy. "So, Wendy." Elena blurred out all of a sudden. "Any of the boys here catch your eye?"
"No. No boys." Wendy said bluntly.
"Really? Is there a boyfriend at your old school or something?" Elena asked.
"No." Wendy replied. "I've never had a boyfriend."
"Oh ok." Elena said before pausing for a few seconds. "Ever had a girlfriend?" She asked.
"Umm... I... um... well." Wendy stuttered, clearly not knowing what to say.
"Don't worry, we won't judge you." Elena said calmly. By now, both chelia and Romeo had stopped eating and were staring at the two.
"I... I had a girlfriend once but it didn't last very long." Wendy said nervously.
"So your..." Romeo said trailing off.
"Yeah." Wendy said.
"Hmm, didn't see that coming." He said before going back to eating. He gave Elena a strange and slightly worried look but no one noticed.
After break when Elena and chelia where in math class together, chelia whispered under her breath to Elena. "I can't believe you asked her so abruptly!" Chelia said annoyed.
"What did you expect me to do?" Elena asked.
"I don't know, just something other than just asking her if she had ever had a girlfriend!" Chelia replied.
"Well it worked didn't it?" Elena said smugly.
"Well yeah, but...ugh! Whatever!" Chelia said, flustered. Elena giggled.
The rest of the lesson passed in a flash and soon enough the girls were heading towards their normal lunch table. Before they could get there however, Romeo tapped Elena on the shoulder. "Can I talk to you?" He asked.
"Sure." Elena replied.
"Why were you so keen to know all that stuff about Wendy?" He asked as soon as the two were in a private place. He looked worried as he said it.
"It just came up?" Elena said. She didn't seem at all sure at her answer.
"I know it's not that." He said. "Do you... do you have a crush on Wendy?"
Elena paused for a second before laughing out loud. "Chelia is the one with the crush on Wendy!"
"Chelia?" He asked. Suddenly his face lit up in realisation. "I knew she'd been acting weird lately!" He shouted.
"So anyway, to answer your question, no I don't have a crush on Wendy." Elena said. There was a long pause before Elena started blushing and spoke again. "I have a crush on someone else."
"Who?" Romeo asked, scared of what the answer may be.
"You..." Elena said, looking at the ground and blushing furiously.
"Oh." Romeo said. There was a long silence, neither knowing what to do. Suddenly, Romeo spoke again. "Elena?" He said.
"Yeah?" She replied.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.
"Ok." Elena replied, both smiling and blushing. Little did they both know that Chelia had seen the whole thing and was now smiling gleefully for her friends.
Chelia headed to the lunch table. Wendy was already there. "Elena and Romeo finally got together!" She said while smiling.
"Its about time!" Wendy said, laughing. "I've only known them a week and I could already tell they liked each other!"
Both girls laughed. Suddenly Elena and Romeo walked up to the table, hand in hand. "So guys we-" Romeo started.
"We know!" Both girls interrupted.
"Oh. Ok." Romeo said, deciding not to question it.
There was a long silence, then Wendy spoke again. "Are you all really ok with me being lesbian?" She asked all of them, but the was looking Chelia in the eye.
"Of course we are!" Chelia replied, displaying how happy she was about it. Elena and Romeo started laughing.
"What?" The girls asked in unison.
"Nothing." Elena said, composing herself.
The rest of the school day went by as normal. Currently, Chelia and Wendy were stood at the place were they had been dropped off at the bus an hour ago. They both should have already gone home by now but they had lost track of time. "I should probably go home now." Wendy said, looking like she did not want to leave. It was then that Chelia remembered what her uncle had said earlier that morning.
She was in for it now.
So, that's chapter 4. I don't really have much to say about this chapter. Thank you to everyone who reviewed, favourited and followed!
