CHAPTER 4 - CONFESSION

This is NOT a flashback:

>>> A WEEK LATER <<<

Beatriz and Jhoana were sitting on the living room floor of the Jane-Hamilton house doing their homework. Dion was upstairs in his room while Jhoana's mothers were still at work.

"So, Bea I think it's time we get you a boyfriend." Jhoana said as she flipped through her text book.

Beatriz couldn't help but begin to feel uncomfortable, she didn't bother to reply.

"Ok hottest guys in school, go." Jhoana asked looking expectantly at Beatriz.

"Um...I...well I guess Mark is ok and...um...Thirdy."

"Hmm Thirdy is ok but he's not hot though and he's kind of a dork, no offense I know you guys went on that weird lunch date thing but I guess Mark is alright, not as fine as Nico though." Jhoana rambled.

"Yeah I guess." Beatriz answered not really all that interested.

"Why don't you ask him out?"

"Who?"

"Mark."

"Nah...he's not really my type."

Jhoana looked at her friend a little confused. She never really understood her sometimes. She never talked about boys but never showed any interest in anyone in general. She had her suspicions that maybe Beatriz wasn't all that straight but she didn't want to push the girl she was waiting for her to open up herself. Though a little nudge in that direction couldn't hurt, it's why she continually brought up this subject.

"Well then what is your type? I mean come on Bea your 16, your smoking hot, you could have anyone and you're telling me no one catches your eye?"

"I don't know, can we talk about something else? We need to finish this project for History." Beatriz replied not making eye contact with her friend.

Jhoana sighed and placed her hand on top of Beatriz's.

"Bea." She said softly

"It's ok."

The other girl tensed up.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She mumbled and took her hand away from Jhoana.

"You know you can tell me anything." Jhoana whispered moving closer to the girl.

"Don't." Beatriz murmured.

"Beatriz."

Beatriz quickly got up and began to pick up her stuff and shove them into her bag.

"I gotta go, I'll see you at school." She mumbled before she practically ran out of the house.

Jhoana sighed.

Beatriz went straight to her room when she got home, not even bothering to say hello to her brother and sister who were sitting in the living room watching TV. She flung her bag over by her desk and flopped onto her bed.

Not long after, Jhoana made her way through the Jauregui house, not even bothering to say hello to Marck or Ced she walked up the stairs and headed for Beatriz's room.

"Hey...you left your text book at my place." Jhoana said as she made her way into the girl's room.

Beatriz didn't respond she just looked down at her lap as she absentmindedly played with the loose thread on her quilt. Jhoana climbed onto the bed and sat across from Beatriz, she took a hold of her friend's hands, and she was glad that she didn't pull away.
