Gay KOTLC - a Keeper Of The Lost Cities story

Gold and Teal

Biana's POV:

I kissed her on the cheek. I Biana Vacker kissed Sophie Foster on the cheek. What the hell was I thinking? As soon as I get to the gates of Everglen I rush up to my room and hide. What did I do? How could she like me? I'm not supposed to like girls. But I kissed her on the cheek. As I lay on my bed in a fetal position, all my mind can think about is gold. Gold flecks in Sophie's eyes. Gold ribbon in her hair. Gold on her tunic. Gold eyeliner on her eyes. Her blond hair shimmering like gold in the sunlight. The way her eyes sparkled with gold when she was happy, when they dimmed when she was sad. Gold, gold, gold. Then I started crying. For no reason at all. Okay, maybe one. After a couple minutes, I wiped my tears away and stood up. I was strong. I could do this. I was Biana Vacker. I couldn't lay on bed and cry, even though I wanted to, I couldn't. I shouldn't. I sniffled and steadied myself. My embellished tunic was stained with mascara. I went into my bathroom/closet and put on fresh makeup and clothes. Everything was gold.

Sophie's POV:

When I arrived home I layed on my bed like a starfish and smiled to myself. For like, an hour. Then I got up to get my i-pod and layed back down in the same position, this time listening to music. Scars To You're Beautiful by Alessia Cara started playing. It reminded me so much of Biana. I started thinking of teal. Teal everything. Teal, teal, teal. Her teal eyes. Teal. So much teal. The teal embellished butterfly tunic she had been wearing that morning. The teal lipstick that made her lips pop. Her teal lips that had kissed my cheek. Just thinking about it made me giddy. I turned and grabbed my imparter off my side table. I hailed Biana. She didn't pick up after two rings, but then her face popped up on the screen. She was wearing a lot of gold. Gold everything. She tried to disguise it, but it looked like she'd been crying. Her eyes were rimmed with red and her mouth was in a pouty frown.

"Hey Soph." she says miserably.

"Are you okay? You look like you've been crying." I say concerningly. 

"Is it really that obvious?" she says "I'm sorry I shouldn't have k-" she starts.

"Don't be sorry I-" I start, but then I pause. "Wait there, I'm coming over to Everglen." I say.

Before she can decline I hang up and race to the leapmaster. 

I glitter in front of the gates. Fitz opens them up for me. 

"Hey S-" He starts to greet me but I interrupt.

"Where's Biana." I say.

"In her room." He replies, confused.

I push past him and into Everglen. I tear through the halls and race up a spiral staircase. I finally find her room. I knock. 

"Can I come in?" I ask.

The door creaks open. There's nobody in the room. 

"Biana?" I ask.

The door slams shut behind me. Yeesh, it's like a horror movie. The lights flicker off and I can barely see, the sunlight through the windows barely illuminating the room. 

"B-biana?" I ask meekly. Suddenly soft lips meet mine. Biana flickers into view in front of me, barely an inch away. I can feel her warm breath against my face. 

"I love you." She whispers and disappears from view. 

"Wait!" I call when the door opens. "Biana wait!" I say after her. Where did she go? Then I hear heels clicking down the stairs. Aha. I race after her. Wow she is fast in heels. 

"Biana!" I say. The heels click faster, reaching the hall. Then I see Biana's goal. The leapmaster. She appears suddenly and is about to leap away. 

"Wait Biana!" I shout. She doesn't stop. "I love you too!" I say as she glitters away. I collapse on the ground. I feel the tears and before I can stop them they spill down my face. I stumble to the leapmaster and leap back home. 

Biana's POV:

What did I do? I sobbed. I had leaped too a random place. That place was the Wandering Woods. I ran and ran until I couldn't anymore. I ran to Sophie's tree. She would never love me back. Never ever. What she said was a lie. For all I know, what she said could've just been me freaking out. She probably didn't even say it. She probably said something else that sounded like it. But what else would sound like 'I love you too'? Maybe 'You love me so'? But that doesn't make any sense. Another wave of sobbing hit me and I curled into a really tight ball and snuggled next to the tree I had found. Sophie's Wandering Willow (I think that's what they're called). I sobbed and sobbed for hours. Too much gold. I had too much gold. No gold that I wore would compare to Sophie. She was my gold. My golden star. My Sophie.

Sophie's POV:

I didn't know where Biana had went. I tried hailing her imparter, but either she didn't have it with her or she didn't pick up. I contacted everyone to see if they had seen her, but nobody had. I hoped she was okay. I was filled with worry for hours. I thought I had checked everywhere, but maybe not. I racked my brain for more places where she could be. I squeezed tight to Ella, in my other hand was piece of teal cloth. It reminded me of her. What if she had been captured by the Neverseen? What if she lightleaped off a cliff? What is she lost concentration while lightleaping? All of these were unlikely, but still possible. Too much teal. Not enough teal. I clenched the teal cloth in my fist. I had too much teal, but not enough teal. Teal. No Teal that I had would compare to Biana. She was my teal. My teal ocean. My Biana. I really hoped I could find her. Than, an idea popped into my mind. I stood up a rushed to the leapmaster. I had missed one place.

That was also kinda short, sorry. Hope you liked it. Also, sorry about the terrible title. The first chapter told you that I wasn't great with titles.
