*Day of the Festival*
*Jackson Private Academy*
Anya watched Emma sobbing on her bed while she slowly walked over to her as she gently sat right next to her.
"Anya, Why are you still here…" Emma had asked her friend as she looked up at her with tears running down her face while she felt Anya's warm hands gently touching her hand.
"Because you're my friend and I'm always gonna be here for you, no matter what. What Judith did to you was truly evil and messed up however please know that she has no power over you and that you are free to like whoever you like without any oppression…" Anya had spoken to her friend in a gentle tone of voice as her words were met with Emma nodding her head in agreement before speaking once more.
"I know and I will always thank you for your kind words and presence. You've always been such a good friend but If Judith sees me hanging out with you people then she'll tell Mr Miller and the whole school. I don't want to experience all of the hell that I will go through including you guys.." Emma had spoken back to her friend while she was still crying as this hurted Anya since she knew of the pain that Emma was going through.
"Judith is truly gonna pay for what she's done. I will make sure of it but first, I must be there for Emma…" Anya had thought to herself as she continued to think about today's events before opening her mouth to speak once more.
"Emma, Do you wanna transfer to my school for the next semester? It's clear that this place is making you sad so I wanted to know if you want to transfer there but more importantly, I want you to know that I'll always accept you and how you feel about yourself, okay? I don't care if your gay or whatever because I'll always accept you as my amazing friend. Emma, you are beautiful and loved.." Anya had spoken out to her friend once more as Emma nodded her head in agreement which made Anya smile.
"Yes, I would love to! I'm pretty sure my parents won't mind but more importantly, Thank you so much for your kind words and for accepting me. It truly makes me happy…" Emma had answered back in a more positive tone of voice as she managed to crack a smile which made Anya smile as well.
"I'm glad to hear that and I know the festival is almost over but do you feel comfortable coming out or do you still need more alone time? Just know that you can do whatever makes you feel comfortable, okay?" Anya had asked Emma as her words were met with Emma nodding her head in understandment before she decided on her choice.
"I think I'm ready to come out with you guys. I also think I should finally confess my feelings to Charlotte since I was planning on doing so today as well.." Emma had answered back as the response made Anya smile as the pair gave each other a warm hug.
"Charlotte, huh? Please go out and tell her how you feel! Just know that I'm gonna be supporting you until the end…" Anya had advised Emma as the pair released each other from the hug while Emma finally rose up from her bed much to the pleasure of Anya.
"Anya, Thank you so much for cheering me up. I really needed this type of discussion. I know my older sister is probably worried sick about me so I'm gonna talk to her once I'm done with Charlotte…" Emma had spoken to Anya as her words were met with Anya smiling back and giving her a thumbs up before speaking once more.
"Go get 'em tiger." Anya had simply spoken back to Emma as she saw her friend exiting her room.
"I don't care what Judith thinks about me or anyone! As long as I have friends who'll support me than all is well!" Emma thought to herself as she exited the dorm building while looking around to see many people having fellowship amongst themselves before running once more to reach Charlotte as she eventually noticed Charlotte and Mary walking together.
"There she is, Okay! Just act natural! Don't allow fear and doubt to control you…" Emma had spoken to herself as she took a few deep breaths before mustering the courage to finally approach Charlotte as this was noticed by her.
"Emma, It's nice to see you! How's your day going? I hope it's going good" Charlotte had greeted Emma while she waved her hand in the process as this was followed with Emma signing.
"My day has been quite eventful but I hope your day is going good but I have something to tell you…" Emma had answered back which made Charlotte rather curious.
"Sure, You can tell me anything." Charlotte had spoken back to Emma while she waited for her answer as it seemed that time slowed down as if she and Emma were the only ones present at this given moment and time.
"Charlotte, I love you, You've honestly been such a good and wonderful friend to me and I was wondering if you'd like to be my girlfriend and if not, I completely understand. I don't want to force you into anything you don't feel comfortable in doing…" Emma had spoken out to Charlotte with a smile on her face while she waited for a response as Charlotte seemed to be surprised at this revelation before speaking to Emma.
"Emma, I accept your feelings, I'm not saying this cause I feel obligated to say yes but rather It's because I've been harboring feelings for you as well so my answer to your confession is yes! I would love to be your girlfriend!" Charlotte had answered back in a joyful tone of voice as this made Emma jump with such happiness.
"Thank you so much! I-I'm truly happy…" Emma had spoken back to her new girlfriend while she and Charlotte stared at each other for a few seconds before engaging in a small yet lovely kiss as the couple released each other from the kiss as this was followed with Emma madly blushing before laughing with such joy while Charlotte did the same thing.
"I'm so blessed to have such loving friends and a loving new girlfriend. I don't care what anyone thinks about me! I'm always gonna be my true and loving self.." Emma had thought to herself as she and Charlotte continued to laugh with such joy as they were enjoying their moment of happiness and peace.
