Almost Perfect (Lesbian Story)

The Beginning

Everything is so difficult..We just keep moving and moving..One place to another.

I'm tired of changing my friends..I wanna settle down and actually enjoy my Senior year..

I want this to last..

"Mia! Mia! Sweetheart, get up it's your first day!"

I wake up to my mother standing over my bed, shaking me. "Let's go, you don't want to be late do you?" She said, finally leaving my room. I sighed and sat up, rubbing my eyes.

Something told me that everything will be different this time, I'll have friends, I won't be bullied. Something is going to great.

I finally worked myself out of bed and into my bathroom. At least in this house i have my own bathroom and bedroom, my own closet. I grabbed my toothbrush and ran it under the warm water. I then spread the Crust toothpaste on my brush and began to brush my teeth. As I stare at myself in the mirror, I begin to notice that my eyes are the normal color they are.

Its different, they're this light brown color usually when my eyes do that; it means I'm elated but I dont feel elated. I'm just more of being nervous, im afraid that I won't fit in with the popular kids or I won't find any friends.

I proceeded to do my daily routine then headed in my room to get dressed. I could hear my sister walking around and cussing quietly. " what to wear.." I mumbled to myself. I wanted to dress to impress but not be so over the top then again every girl seemed to be doing that not. "10 minutes!" my mom yelled out. " shit." I grabbed my khaki joggers, white crop top, white Vans, and blue button up. " just to be fancy " I grabbed my bag and white Polo hat.

Down the street and to the bus stop, we drove. it was nerve racking because I was so nervous, I thought for sure I was gonna have a panic attack. "Mia, sweetie we're here." my mom said, pulling into the parking lot. I snapped out my thoughts and got out. My stomach surely fell into my ass walking on the bus. I found an empty seat near the back as the bus pulled off but then there was a sudden stop..

"Hey! Hey!" i heard a voice beating on the bus door and when it opened...it was the most beautiful girl i've ever laid eyes on. She had long brown hair with blue tips and her style was somewhat close to mines but better than mines. She was making her way back here and i really stared to get nervous. "May i sit here?" she said to me, i was so nervous that i just nodded stupidly. As she sat down, her scent brushed past my nose; smelling so sweet like strawberries..

"Thanks i really owe you." she smiled at me. "N-No you don't. I just let you sit next to me, i didnt do anything special." I mumbled. "If you say so, I'm sorry. My name is Leah." she said to me, sweetly. "I'm Mia. I'm new here so i don't quite know what to do.." I frowned. "Whoa really? Where were you before?" Leah asked me, putting her bag on the floor. "I was in my hometown which was North Carolina then my mom got stationed here in Virginia. Being a military child is hard really, you never really 'settle down' if you know what i mean." I frowned even more, stroking my hair. "Mm yeah, i had to do the same born in Germany but i had to move to Virginia too." I never knew that we had a few things in common i mean i guess that's a start. "What grade are you in?" She smiled. "Oh um this is my last year, they transferred my first quarter over so i get to continue my last year." As i said this, i could already see a frown coming upon her face. "Why are you frowning?" I asked her. "I don't have long with you and i was hoping you could be my friend." Leah said, looking me in the face.

"Leah, we can be friends still. I don't graduate until May, that's a long way from now." I said, rubbing her shoulders as her face brightened up. "yeah you're right. Friends?" She said, holding her hand out. I smiled and shook her hand back. When we reached the school , it turns out that Leah and me had the same homeroom. Leah insisted that i sat next to her so i did, "So are you gay or..? Not to be rude." Leah asked. "It's fine. I'm lesbian but i have a hard time telling my mom. How about you?" I smiled at her, really just admiring her. "Yeah me too." Leah smiled back. "Well since we're on the topic, what do you like in a girl and what are your general dislikes?" I asked, unlocking my iPhone 5s. "Well, what i like in a girl would have to be a girl who is sensitive but not too sensitive, sweet, independent, ambitious, goofy; you know the basics really. I'm not picky, what about you?" Leah said, laying her head in her hands. "I like girls who are confident, smart, loving, out-going, and just generally the same." I said, looking up from my phone to see Leah looking at me like she was thinking.

"What?" I laughed. She shook her head, "Oh nothing. My dislikes are wannabes, people who think being gay is a choice and not a lifestyle, over sensitive people, ungrateful&spiteful people especially, but to top it off smoking and drinking." Leah said, with disgust on her face. "I quit smoking to be honest, kills my voice so that when i sing i can't hit the notes i want. As of drinking, i was never a fan of it, it leads to death and it's usually abused." I looked back at my phone. "You sing?" Leah's voice brightened up. I looked back at Leah, "yeah why?" "You should sing to me one day." "Uh Leah, i don't know. I get really nervous especially around yo-....people." I said, scratching my shoulder. "Oh please, Mia." Leah begged. "One day, Leah." I laughed.
