Narrator POV:

Silly little girl..
She really thought it would last forever

Ha! She cried and sobbed bitterly as she felt disappointment creep over her.
Being called a red flag when all you ever tried to do was express your love? Even I'd be sad..:(

On the night it happened the poor girl sat a spaced out at least 20 times that day..just thinking back. The messages just kept replaying I'm her head. She asked herself word like "Was I too much?" "Why do I always ruin everything..? " there was only one word that was able to leave her mouth and it was "Fuck.." For a couple minutes the only thing she could do was mutter silent curse words both in her head and put loud under her breath.

If it was a normal break up then that would've been fine cuz this girl can take shit better than most people but the thing that hurts is that this meant the end of the relationship AND the friendship they had before.

Hester's POV:

December 5th 2014...wow
9 years, 2 months and 5 days...it's almost funny. I have the worst memory every yet I remember exactly the day I first spoke to her. It was 3,362 days ago.

I remember like it was yesterday.
On a cold Friday afternoon I saw you through the window playing with another person whom you had known for a while and you mentioned something that I liked so I shouted through the window but hid until you looked away again and for a number of things you said I would respond then hide.
Till the last time I was caught. That's when the boy told me to come play with you guys and I climbed up on the front gate of my house and opened the top lock, I ran down but stopped at your gate because I got nervous.
We played together that day. I didn't go home till 7pm.

Since that day going over to their house was my favourite thing to do. We grew closer but I never told them that I loved seeing them.
It was my little secret...if always run to the window off any sound of a person's voice that I hear and I'd always hope that it would be one of them.
The boys name was Prince...that's what I was told and that's what I still believe to this day..I never caught his real name and he never knew mine, we'd go off nicknames. All of us.
She was Diamond...never knew her first name, never knew her last name.

To them I've always been Hester.
By the time I was 9, Prince was 13 and diamond was 8.
I was maturing and started to develop feelings for both of them but in a country like mine i never saw any girls who liked girls, maybe because I was young..I thought it would be better if I follow everyone else and stick to the opposite gender; makes

Started embracing my feelings towards Prince more, I loved talking to him.
There was a feeling that I pushed away in the dark, it was me trying to see what I preferred, I tried to push away that there is a possibility that there was another option that I felt comfortable choosing.

Those feelings lasted for a year until I stopped liking both of them. It was a normal day and I went to diamonds house because Prince was at school and there was someone else..She was standing right infront of me.

Her dark and toned skin
Beautiful smile and deep voice
Her curves that complemented her school uniform perfectly
She was so pretty
She liked everything I like
She was perfect

Or so I thought...
Her name was Gabby and we became something a little closer than friends. I was new to the feelings of other people but when she started sharing her past with me I felt sorry for her, hearing where and how she grew up was sad but I was instantly happier when she spoke about the things she wants to do in life.

More time passed and one day she confessed to me, I was nervous and didn't know what to do (keep in mind we were 10).
I took her to my house and brought her to my room so we could talk more freely.
I stared at her for a few moments hoping she would say something else or say it was a joke but she didn't. She just sat there as her eyes stared back into mine.

...
She broke the silence with four words..
They were "Can I kiss you?" She said as she inched closer to me, who say on the other bed which was right by the one she sat on.
I freaked out and panicked, 1. because I know kissing is a thing couples do and 2. Because I never did it before so I wouldn't know what I was to do.
Without anymore time to think she pulled me into a kiss.
Her face was so close to me and her lips were on mine, I stared into her eyes in confusion then soon relaxed a bit. "Don't worry" she said, her words flooding my senses and I, in fact did the opposite of what she said..I didn't want to mess up.

She crawled over to the bed I was on and sat on my lap as she grabbed my face and deepened what people call 'a kiss'.

Soon she pulled away so I could breath. "What was that?" I asked.
"A kiss," she replied, still sitting on my lap.
I lifted her up while trying to stand, I placed her on the bed in front of me and walked over to look through the window because I heard a familiar voice.

It was diamond, she was greeting Prince who had just returned for school
I looked back at Gabby then sat beside her.

Narrator's POV:

They spoke for a couple minutes and they discussed their feelings then gabby explained that there are other specialities and labels for people who like their own gender.
It was a lot for Hester to take on but as a quick learner she understood every word.

Now that she knows of other specialities she was eager to find hers, she thought to herself for a minute before holding gabby's face and lie so h her again.

She wanted to know if she would feel anything for it. If she'd be more comfortable or feel more normal, she searched for something in that kiss. Unfortunately the answer she was looking for didn't come.

She wanted time to figure out herself. She made a promise to gabby that day.
"I'll figure myself out first, I'll find out what I like and I promise I'll let you know" but before that she said "i am sorry but I cannot love you in the way you love me, my heart beats for another" and just like that they continued to be friends without ever telling anyone about their affair.

Hester wanted things to stay how they were, as one by group of friends.
But...the universe had other plans, when she turned 11 gabby's stopped coming over because she moved.

Hester's POV:

The feelings for both Prince and diamond returned but didn't last long because the next person to move away.....was me.
