Today...is my birthday..

Yeah, this might is a little surprising but I don't really like my birthdays. I wish I don't have to celebrate it but my whole family comes over and it's mostly the only time we'll see each other.

But thank god no one knows when my birthday is except for Eric, Jo and their parents.

My parents are already at work and I was just about to leave for school when someone rings the doorbell. So I get over to it and open the door.

"Hello, beautiful." Josie says with a wide smile and then literally jumps in my arm to hug me.

"Happy birthday!" She exclaims as she squeezes me even tighter.

"Thank you." I reply with a smile and she then pulls away to softly kiss me.

"I have a present for you." She tells me when we pulls away from the kiss.

My face softens. "You didn't have to.."

"I wanted to, shut up." Jo says while taking my hand, making me laugh.

We walk over to her car and she tells me to get in. She then grabs something and when she turns around she has a small box in her hand. She hands it to me and I stare at her for a while before looking down and opening it.

"Jo.." in the box is a black bracelet, which is just..perfect.

"I love it, thank you." I tell her before leaning in and gently pressing my lips against hers.

"I know it's not much bu-" I immediately cut her off by kissing her again

"It's perfect, Jo. I couldn't be happier." I reassure her and she softly smile at that.

"I want to take you out tonight." Josie says while leaning closer to me.

I start to smile. "Well where are we going?"

*****

It's a little later and I'm now at soccer practice. Or well..in the changeroom.

I haven't seen Eric today yet since he doesn't have school today and just comes here for practice.

I was currently changing when someone exclaims, "Oh my god!"

We all look at the girl but she's busy staring at Josie. Oh God..

Josie is now only in her bra and underwear and everyone can see the hickeys now..

"Okay spill, now." Sara says and Jo shoots me a small glare, making me smile sheepishly.

I then look at the others but my eyes stop on Rachel, who's raising an eyebrow at me. I immediately look away and back to Josie.

"Tell us!" A girl says, making Josie groan.

"What should I tell you? There's nothing to tell about." She mutters while putting on the cheerleader skirt.

"Who did you sleep with? Whoever did that must be crazy good at sex." Sara says and I can't help but snort at that.

"What makes you think I had sex with that person?" Josie asks curiously as she turns around to face her.

"Well first, I think everyone who looks like that couldn't resist doing it. And secondly, when we all were hanging out yesterday you were glowing. So you probably had sex on Saturday." She answers and I look at her with a raised eyebrow.

How does she know all of that just by looking at her?

"So..who is the lucky guy?" Sara asks, making me stop smiling.

Right..they don't know she's into girls..

"No guy." Jo says while glancing to me with a small smile, which makes me smile as well.

"What do you mean 'no guy'?" Another girl asks confused.

"It means I didn't sleep with a guy." She answers with a shrug.

"You're gay?" Sara asks shocked.

"No."

"Well..I don't know. I never really liked anyone before, only her." Josie adds, which makes me smile.

"So..who is she?" Sara asks curiously and Rachel walks over to me.

"It's you, isn't it?" She whispers in my ear, making my eyes widen.

"W-What?" I stutter as I look at her.

"C'mon, it's obvious you two are in love." She tells me and I look down with a sigh.

"I won't tell Eric, trust me. But you'll need to tell him eventually. You know yourself it hurts not knowing." Rachel adds and I nod slowly.

"I know. I will. Just..not yet." I mumble as I look at Jo.

I already updated a few chapters of my new book 'faith'. I really like this book and would really appreciate if you guys could check it out.
