In Which The Forest Beholds

Tea and Talk.

"I think I like.. other identities other than men. Maybe just woman and men? I don't really know, but I'm still figuring it out a bit." Mayla says, a bit shy and reluctant about the topic.

"Oh, really? I'm glad you've figured yourself out! When did this happen?" Kylo responds, slowly drinking their tea.

"I've been thinking about it for quite a bit, actually. I've been kind of.." Mayla pauses for a second, thinking of what to say. "putting it off, I guess."

"Ah, well atleast you still ended up figuring it out, who made you realize?"

"Uhm, I don't think I'm ready to share that yet, that's fine right?" Mayla says, voice beginning to tremble a bit. It's not that she's scared, she knows Kylo would accept her, but she just isn't used to talking to someone about these things.

"Of course! Take as much time as you need, I'll be here." Kylo responds, almost emediently

After that, they sit in silence with their tea. Little does Mayla know, Kylo's eyes starting to shine a little bit brighter after this exchange. Maybe Kylo has a chance?

Mayla is currently talking to Eddie right now in the library. This isn't where they usually meet, but it doesn't really matter where they meet.

"Eddie... I think I have a crush on Kylo." Mayla spurts out, a bit randomly.

Eddie looks up from his book to look at Mayla. "Oh, cool." Eddie ends up saying, looking back to his book after.

"That was a very... full response."

"Whatever. I'm reading a cool book, see! Look at this picture." Eddie says.

This makes Mayla look to the cover of the book he's reading. There ya have it, it's a biology book. And it has guts on the cover. "What the fuck! Why are you reading a book with pictures of guts?!"

Eddie stays silent, deciding to ignore Mayla and decide to continue reading. Mayla looks at her watch, and it's already 14:16 She needs to meet Kylo by the cherry tree for a hangout by 14:30. She's a bit disappointed, because they only got to hangout for an hour, but she promised Kylo they'd hangout this once so she needs to go.

"Hey, I think I'm going to go. I have somewhere to get to. Talk to ya later, Eddie!" Mayla says in a rush to get her things together.

Eddie looks up from his book for a second. "Bye, talk to you later Mayla." After that, he continues reading.

Mayla rushes to her room, and puts her stuff up on her bookshelf. She then begins to get ready.
