Turning a Straight Girl Gay

Chapter 3: Not Giving Up

More time passed and still I continued to fall for the impossible girl. As time went on, it seemed she was still becoming more into me. She seemed as into me as I was to her in certain moments. It had been four months and neither of us had brought up that first kiss. I thought of this moment to bring up in my car on the way to school. Her in this insanely cute outfit and me in my normal black t-shirt, skinny jeans, and a snap back hat- I wore the one that she thought was the best on purpose just for the sole purpose of her stealing it and wearing it herself. So with as much confidence as I could muster in myself, I brought it up again, "So you remember a few months ago, when I kissed you? Can we talk about that Lacy?" Lacy seemed to think for a moment as I came to a stop in front of our high school, looked me straight in the eye for what seemed like an eternity, grabbed my hat, and while laughing ran out of the car into the rain. I awkwardly jumped out of my side and chased after her, giggling. She ran as fast as she could, yet I still caught her and wrapped her in a bear hug  from behind. I kissed her on the cheek as mascara was running down both our faces. I look down at her and wipe the makeup from under her eye then grab her face and slowly go in for a kiss. She doesn't seem to shy away so I kiss her. And for the first time she didn't seem resistant. I let go and she actually kissed me back. And for the first time in my life, I knew the feeling of happiness like an old friend. I knew the feeling of love and being loved back. My palms got sweaty and my heart raced as I asked her to be mine. I slowly slipped my snap back off my head and onto hers as I embraced her into a hug. Grinning ear to ear, she whispered her answer into my ear and the phrase stuck with me as my life changed forever as she became not just my best friend, but my girlfriend.
