*Melanies pov*
We had walked to the park together and I had really thought about how I felt. I was texting my sister all night about how she knew she liked another girl. I had crushes on girls before, but this time it felt different? It felt more open and made me feel better about myself too. My sister told me that crushes wont feel the same all the time, and if I truly liked her, I needed to open my eyes. I still asked her how I knew I would like Lex. She gave me a couple questions:
"Did I act more myself around her? Did I always want to hug or be close with her? Was I always around her more than anyone else?" I said yes to all of them. Of course, this didnt answer the big question, did I actually like her? She is fine. She has nice hair, nice outfits, she is kind and gentle with me, and the day she carried me when I was hurt made me feel nervous.

"Hey lex I have a question." I asked her. "Oh yea what's up?" She told me. I was nervous, nervous for myself, nervous for her response. It was only two months that ive known her. "So um.. I was talking to my sister about you. I wasnt sure if I did or didnt, but I do. I like you Lex. I dont know how else to tell you or if I should have waited a while." I can tell she didnt know what to say. She had always told me how people hit on her and she found it uncomfortable. "You do?..." She responded. "Im sorry I shouldn't have said it." I said and I got up from the bench. "No wait Mel come on now, I havent even said anything yet." She said and stood up as well. "What if I told you I did as well? I always thought it was a little crush and it would go away but it never did. And it hasnt." She told me. I didnt know what to say after that. "Do you actually or are you saying that because I told you?" I questioned her. She started laughing and said that she actually did. "You scared me I thought you were going to say you didnt like me or you were going to walk away!" I said. "Woww who do you think I am mel!" She told me. We then walked around the park. I didnt know what else to say. We just walked and she held my hand. I know she didnt like holding hands, but the thought of her liking me made me happy. Im glad we were something and not just friends, obviously not dating yet, but we are now talking.
This is nice.
