'Hey Hey.' Paige called sitting across from me on the table in the corner of the cafe. 'What you up too?'

'An essay for college.' I smile moving my hair from my eyes

'Where Charles?' Paige asked flicking iver the menu even though I knew she was going to get her usual

'Probably go karting or something.' I focus on the page in front of me.

'So he's not here?' I shake my head looking at my page.
'Can we talk?' Paige asked

'Of course.' I say directing my attention to Paige

'I need to tell you something but I don't want this to change our friendship.' She fidgets with my pencil case. I knew this was serious as she couldn't look at me

'Hit me with it.' I say with a smile

Paige pauses brefiely 'I well I think erm I think I am attracted to girl. I think I am a lesbian.' Paige shares with me

I take her hand in mine, 'Oh P. Why would this change how I feel our friendship?'

'I don't know. I don't want you to think of me any different.' I wipes a tear from her eye

'I could never.' I smile at her.

'Can we keep this top secret?' She asked holding my hand.

'Of course.' I smile back 'what do you want to eat? My treat?

📍Montgomery Household

I was awake by a familiar tapping sound. 3 taps followed by 2 more taps, followed by 1 tap. I immediately knew who it was at my window, Charles.

I tiptoe over to the window careful to not make the floorboards creak. My parents were strict in sense that Charles had to go home by 10pm on a school night, but on the weekends he could stay.

'Charlie' I whisper 'it's 1am, what are you doing here?'

'I wanted to see you.' He smiled, he was drunk

'You've been drinking again? And you climbed up here? You could hurt yourself!' I jokingly slap his arm

'Or worse, I could have gotten caught.' He laugh stepping through the window. I take his hand and lead him to the bed, flicking a light on.

'What's on your mind?' I ask flopping back into the bed.

'You.' He pointed at me

I frown at his words 'No. You've been drinking on a school night. Again! Something is bothering you?'

'This Max. I've raced against him all my life, he's good. He's better than me.' He lays down on the bed

'Nobody is better than you.' I run my hand through his hair.

'You are my favourite person Stelly.' He smiles with his eyes closed

'Right back at you Char.' I smile.

'Can I stay?' He asked

'If Mama catches you she will kill you, literally.' I say still running my hands through his hair

'What's life without some risks?' He wiggles his eyebrows at me.

'Boring.' I jab him in his ribs. I pat the side of the bad that was free. Charles kicked his shoes off and joined me. We laid there staring into each others eyes with a million thoughts behind our eyes.

'To the grave?' He smiled softly before landing a kiss on my cheek.

'To the grave.' I smile back, my eyes drifting off to sleep

'Goodnight Love.' He kissed my cheek

'Goodnight Looser.' I mumbled back already half asleep.
