On the other side of the pond

Part 11

When I got home I immediately called Silvana. My parents and sister weren't home yet and I grabbed a cookie. Just as I took a bite Silvana picked up the phone. Okay spill the tea girl! She exclaimed. I started talking but cookie crumbs flew out of my mouth and landed on my screen, I really need to stop talking with my mouth full. I thought to myself. Ew gross. I mumbled and cleaned the crumbs from my screen. I started telling Silvana everything that happened but I left out the part in the café with Mason. With every sentence I spoke I got more exited and I Silvana almost jumped trough the screen in excitement. I was very lucky to have a friend like her, she would always be here for me but I still have a feeling sometime that she will eventually leave and that I will be all alone- no! stop thinking about that! I told myself. Silvana noticed that I had gone silent. Hey, you okay? She said. I'm fine. I mumbled and quickly put on my happy face again. Are you going to ask her out? Silvana suddenly asks. What!? I exclaim and I start laughing. Silvana is oddly silent and I realize she was being serious. I quickly stop laughing and look at Silvana- no wait my phone screen, very seriously. C'mon Sil, do you actually think I'm capable of doing that? I ask her. you could at least try, what is the worst that could happen? Silvana protests. I scoff. That she will think I'm disgusting and never talks to me again. Besides, we have just become something like friends. I don't want to ruin that. I rant. Silvana nods and gives me a comforting smile. you'll always have me. If Ivy hurts you I will... talk to her. She says hesitating at the word "talk". I smile and shake my head. Maybe don't do that. I say as I laugh. Oh I have to go, my moms calling for dinner. Bye love you! Silvana says and before I could say anything she hung up. Silvana mentioning her mum made me wonder where mine was. She had messaged me 30 minutes ago that she was picking up Flora from her friend Annie but she's still not back. I decide to text her asking where she is and she replies after 5 minutes with: I'm on my way. I go upstairs and sit on my bed. I pick up my book and start read for a bit.

After awhile I hear the front door open and I walk downstairs. I see my mom in the hallway holding pizza boxes and my sister excitingly jumping. Mommy was talking to Annie's mom for too long so she got pizza! Flora exclaims. Oohh! Yummie! I say while I take over the pizza boxes and place them on the kitchen table. We sit down and all take a piece of pizza. So, how was your day Amy? My mom asked. Oh uhm, I got tutored in math by this nice girl named Ivy. I said and my mom nods while taking a bite of pizza. Who is that? She says when she had swallowed her bite. Uhm... I hesitated a little to tell my mom who she was. I wasn't going to say that she was a girl I met a few months ago and couldn't stop crushing on and oh surprise I'm a lesbian. She's someone from school and she's surprisingly good at math so yea. I eventually said with my cheeks heating up a little. My mom nodded and I continued eating my pizza.

After dinner I cleaned up my plate and I went upstairs. I changed into my most comfortable hoodie and sweatpants and sat down on my bed. I thought about what Silvana said about asking out Ivy. It was almost valentines day, just 2 more days. Maybe I should write her a letter and put it in her locker. No that's too cliché. I think to myself but I still got up and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and sat down at my desk and started writing.

Hey you, 

 Have you noticed the wind recently? I have, I noticed the way it plays with you beautiful curly hair, I noticed the way you would desperately try and keep it from blowing your hair in your face and it makes you look so cute. What I'm trying to say is that I notice you, I think you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen-

I stopped writing. This was exactly what I wanted to tell her but I couldn't just put this in her locker, this would just make her look weird or worse, like a stalker... I fumbled up the paper and threw it in my thrash bin and started writing a new letter. I stayed up until 2 am to get the best letter and this was the best I could come up with:

Hey, you..

I've been thinking to tell you something... I like you. You have the most beautiful brown curly hair and dark mysterious brown eyes. Whenever I look at you I feel amazing, when you are around me I feel really happy. Will you be my valentine?

Greetings, someone who has a huge crush on you

I got into bed and closed my eyes. I was too nervous to sleep, tomorrow after school I will slip it in her locker so she can see it Friday morning on valentines day. I slowly fell asleep but even in my dreams all I could think of was Ivy...
