It's early in the morning, around six. The bundle of red-ish brown hair moves, in Amy's bed. She moves ever so slightly, trying to keep Amy asleep. Amy's a semi-heavy sleeper, she would only wake up if you took her phone, or sat on her. Karma took a moment to stare at her, to assess that she's gay which gives her a huge opportunity that she can't give up, but before she does that she needs to talk to Shane about this because he's such an expert on the topic.
"Amy ..." Karma calls out to her.
Amy doesn't answer, but she moves indicating that she's awake. She takes her arm and wraps it around Karma.
Clearly she's still asleep. Karma thinks to herself, then unwraps Amy's arm from her. Amy moves her arm under her pillow. Karma lifts herself off the bed, and grabs Amy's phone. Amy turns and looks at her with angry eyes.
"Great. You're up." Karma says cheerful.
Amy holds out her hand, awaiting her phone. Karma hands it over, and just stares.
"What's wrong with you?" Amy says with a joking tone, and sits up.
"I'm just ... happy," Karma shrugs. "Oh, and you got a bunch of messages from Shane, talking about ... 'the thing'?"
"Oh, that's his way of saying he wants to talk about his current boy-toy."
"Then why is he using code words?"
"I didn't have this one planned through, that's his way of talking about gay things, though."
"What do you guys talk about? Is it like, the girls you have crushes on?"
"Karma, what are you talking about?" Amy gets out of bed, "I don't like girls."
"How long have you been lying to me?"
"I'm not lying."
When she said this Karma started to doubt their friendship, or her homosexuality.
"You told me last night that you're gay."
"I didn't tell you who I like did I?"
"No, but now you have to."
"I'm not telling you. That's for Shane to know, and you to hopefully never know."
Karma starts walking ever so slightly towards Amy, then puts her arms around her waist, "I couldn't change your mind, could I?"
Amy gets so intensely nervous, that she doesn't move.
"It was worth a shot." Karma steps back, she honestly feels that Amy doesn't feel the same way.
"We should get dressed." Amy says trying to get rid of that moment.
"Fine, but I don't have any clothes with me so I'm gonna need some of yours."
Amy starts pulling clothes out of her closet and she wishes she could shove herself back in there.
"So Amy, how long have you been lying to me about your sexuality?"
"Erm ..." Amy turns around, "I'd rather not answer."
"Aw, come on."
"I'd ask you but you're not gay, are you?"
Karma walks over to Amy, leans in and then looks at the clothes Amy's holding.
"These are cute, why don't you ever where them?"
"Karma ..."
"Amy ..." She says sort of mockingly.
"You can't just change the subject."
"Why not?"
"Karma, are you gay?"
"No. I'm not." Karma covered her feelings at least until she talked to Shane. He'd already done the same with Amy, but she didn't know and Amy was too scared to do anything afterwards. She was scared Karma wouldn't feel the same, but she did.
"I could go downstairs an make us some pancakes to lighten the mood." Karma tries to distract.
"Yeah, but here." Amy hands a bundle of clothes, "Get dressed."
Karma shuts the door, then takes off her shirt. "I'm sorry, is this awkward?"
"No. Psh, no. I'm still gonna turn around." She does.
Karma hurries to change, and opens the door to go downstairs.
Karma starts cooking pancakes, and soon enough Amy joins her wearing a plaid over-shirt on a donut t-shirt.
"Ah, I love pancakes."
"Well, if you love this half as much what I have planned, you're gonna die of excitement."
"Alright. Let me hear it."
"We eat these, then we make snicker doodles, we start the terrible movie commentary, then we regret eating the snicker doodles, and by then it'll be time for me to go home." Karma pulls the pancakes off the pan, then puts them on plates.
"I'm loving this schedule."
"I know right, it'll make the best last day."
"That's impossible, the next always tops the last."
Karma sits down with Amy and eats the pancakes. They have idle chat in-between.
Afterwards, the two get too distracted when making snicker doodles. When they started putting cookie dough on the tray, Amy flings some at Karma. Karma stood shocked for a moment, then throws some back. They have an all out cookie dough war, which ends up with both of them laying on the floor with cookie dough everywhere.
"This was better than the plan." Amy says taking a bite of cookie dough.
"I can't wait to do this again."
"Maybe you don't have to. You can stay here tonight."
"I'd love that."
Amy gets up and holds Karma's hands to pull her up.
"Come on, we need to clean this up before my mom gets back."
Karma starts to pick up everything besides the cookie dough, while Amy scrubs it off the counter, floor, and walls.
After this, Amy takes Karma upstairs to the bathroom to wash the dough from their faces and hair. While they're trying to get it out of their hair, Lauren walks in the bathroom. She stops once she sees the other two are already in there.
"What are you doing in here?"
"Stuff."
"Well, do your 'stuff' somewhere else. I need to pee."
Karma and Amy walk into Amy's room. They've already gotten the dough from their hair, and have laid on the bed. It took them so long to get everything clean, it's getting late. Tired from the cookie wars, Amy decides to sleep. Karma stays awake, just staring. Its either at Amy, or the ceiling thinking about how she feels. She eventually falls asleep.
