Lia is a 16 year old girl going into high school. But guess what, she's the new girl. Great. As Lia attempts to survive high school, she discovers something about herself no one would have guessed. All it took was a couple heartbreaks.
Aliya's POV (By the way, she's in her room because last night she left Jamie and Lia due to her nervousness)
I woke up and smiled. Today, I was going to confess to Lia. I dressed in a black dress with long sleeves that fell above my knees. I slipped on some black heels to go with it and pulled out my bag from my closet. I opened it and pulled out the lamb plushy along with the bouquet of pink roses. My smile widened. She'd love this.

I walked out and saw that Lia had already left somewhere. I sighed and walked out of the dorm. Where could she have gone? I turned a hallway and saw her talking to Elias.
L: "Okay, I like you. I like you a lot."
E: Woah, okay I like you too!"
I froze. My heart shattered. Tears streamed down my face. I turned and ran back to my dorm. I burst through the door and threw the plushy and roses into my room. I ran into my room and closed the door. I curled up on my bed and sobbed into my pillow. Why? Why did I even try?! I knew she was straight and of course the whole Musa incident didn't teach her anything! Why did I even begin to think I had a chance?! I froze when I heard a gentle knock on my door.
J: "Aliya, is everything okay?"
"No."
He opened the door and ran towards me
J: "Hey what's wrong?"
"Lia confessed to Elias."
J: "Aliya I'm so sorry.."
"It's not your fault."
He rubbed circles into my back and led me through deep breathes.
J: "Aliya, there's someone better out there waiting for you I promise."
"Are you mad at Lia?"
J: "Kind of"
"Don't be. She didn't know. It's not her fault."
J: "Fine."
He sat down on my bed beside me and hugged me. He eventually opened my laptop and scrolled through netflix. He turned on Outlander and smiled.
I said goodbye to Elias and walked back to my dorm. I was so happy! I already had my first date with him planned and I knew I'd won over Carrie. I opened the door and looked for Jamie or Aliya, so sign of them. I sighed and entered my room. After awhile of scrolling through Instagram, I got worried so I decided to look for Jamie or Aliya. I knocked on Aliya's door and opened it. I saw them huddled together watching Outlander on Aliya's PC. For some reason, her eyes were quite puffy almost as if she'd been crying.
"Oh my god Aliya are you okay?"
A: "Yeah I'm fine."
"Want me to join? I'll bring snacks"
J: "She just wants alone time with me right now, no offense."
"Oh okay."
I walked out confused, I thought the 3 of us were bestfriends? But y'know what, it's totally fine if they want some alone time. I totally get that. I walked back to my room and wandered into the world of Instagram.
