"Amanda wake up baby. Amanda." 

I wake up to the sight of my mother holding a brown bag and an iced coffee. 

"Here I got you breakfast and a coffee." 

She places them on the end table. 

"Amanda I love you. If I ever made you feel like I didn't I'm sorry. You are the best thing to have happen to me I mean it. I love you." 

"I love you too mom." 

"Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mmmuwah." My mother begins to place a bunch of kisses all over my face. 

"Mom stop." I say giggling.

As I'm heading home from practice I get a notification. I have a friend request. I tap the notification to see who it is. 

For some weird reason my heart skips a beat when I see that it's Michelle 

I click on her profile and I can't believe that so many people with check marks follow her.

I didn't know she was this popular. Of course she is she's really cool. I look through her posts and I find a couple of people who she reposts and tags a lot. One it looks like it could be her boss or something. They seem to tease each other a lot. The other one is a good looking Korean man. She reposts and hearts his posts a lot… are they… I don't think she wears a ring but some married couples don't. 

I started to feel sad but I should be happy that she has someone that hopefully makes her happy. They better. 

I accepted her friend request and continued walking home. As soon as I open the door I get another notification. Michelle has sent me a direct message.

Throughout the week I kept texting with Michelle it's usually small talk but today I decided to test something out. I messaged a link to a well-known lesbian singer's song. I just want to know if she'll accept me not that I'll be coming out any time soon I'm scared of how my mother will react. 

I shriek of happiness when she heart it and said she also listens to her. 

I was so happy, I wonder if she's into girls, even just a little bit… probably not.
