❝Do you realize how messed up we are, hiding our honest feelings just because we wanted to be stereotypically normal? It's bullshit. ❞
*****
Kirlia Hemmings is normal and she makes sure that she reminds herself of that fact, at least once every day...

"So you mean to say that you met some guy –who potentially can be a girl– who was very rude to you early in the morning?" Sierra repeated once I narrated the encounter I had with that dude to Sierra and Zeta, as we moved out of the English class together.
Sierra Smarson was a bubbly and jolly girl, who says how she's bisexual. Her straight blonde hair covered her round face as bright pink spectacles hid her baby blue eyes, which always seemed to glitter with excitement and happiness.
Her eyes wandered around the hallway as we motioned towards our lockers where we would keep our bags and then move towards the place where the "scandalous" had their lunch.
Zeta looked lost in her trail of thoughts before she stopped walking midway, her eyes wide as she turned to stand in front of us. Her arms extended as if she wished to declare something very important. Sierra looked rather anxious with how serious Zeta looked.
"Siri, who is that one person who would be confused as a guy or a girl, and who would act like a fucking furnace at the start of the day and use sophisticated words when low on coffee?" Sierra's eyes widened comically too as Zeta explained the person I had encountered earlier.
"That's McRae, ain't it?" Came a voice from behind us, making both of me and Sierra jump wildly as we turned around swiftly. A boy around our age, with messy brown hair, dark brown eyes and dimples visible as he kept smirking at us. His red sweatshirt was very creased as if he sat on it for fifteen hours to make it look like that.
"Asshole, never in a million years do that ever again!" Zeta screamed out of utter frustration while he nonchalantly rolled his eyes. Sierra hit him lightly on his shoulder, laughing at Zeta's reaction as she took deep breaths.
"I swear to god Nick– you should probably stop doin' its buds." I squinted my eyes a bit, realizing how the supposed Nick was on friendly terms as he was one of the Scandalous. Almost as if he heard what I was thinking, his brown head turned towards me as he scanned with his gaze, before Zeta coughed loudly.
"Kaia, this is Nicholas Purke, an absolute crackhead and an idiot, and one of us too, " she rolled her eyes at him while he just showed her a middle finger back.
"You are Kirlia Hemmings, right? Felix told me about you, it's an honor to meet you," he dramatically bowed in front of me, taking my right hand lightly and kissing the back of it.
I looked at Zeta apprehensively while Sierra was enjoying the moment thoroughly. Finally, after getting a lot of weird looks from those around us, he stood straight, carelessly brushing off invisible dust off his pants and grinning like a total maniac, showing off his dimples on both cheeks.
Zeta rolled her eyes, as she spanked Nick's elbow while Sierra burst out laughing, successfully earning stares from many others who stood around us and were potentially ignoring us.
