I met her in high school, we started as frenemies then turned out best friends and for 8 years of being with her, my heart started to secretly fell in love to my bestfriend but what's the catch?
--She's straight while I hide inside the closet.
"You know you can express your emotions right? It's okay to admit that you miss Summer" Anderson calling out Ice but to only receive a cold gaze then focuses back in her phone.
Everyone silently chuckles of how it is evidently clear that Ice grew so much colder and condescending when Summer left.
"Have you see her recent post? My girl is growing her plump booty" Vero flexing her phone screen to everyone in the table.

But she's aware that Ice is darting her a glare but ignores it anyways. She's immune to Ice sharp cold gaze.
"I can't wait to see her again" Joanne chiming in but Ice is keeping her mouth shut.
"Hi Ice" they all turned seriously confused of what got in Mateo to show up in their table and locking his eyes only to Ice. "I just wanna say that if I couldn't beat you this last semester then I rather win over Summer and make her my girlfriend"
Anderson shook his head before placing his comment sarcastically "if I were you, I wouldn't mess with a pissed woman that misses her girlfriend"
"Gigirlfriend?" Mateo repeats then look back to Ice who's already staring at him without exerting emotion "I thought she's just your best friend?"
"Run before she brings out her extra scalpel inside her bag Mateo" Anderson says with a smile.
He step back that he almost lost his balance before completely walking away from their table.
**** Summer POV
Vero sent me a picture of Ice leaning her back head over the swivel with a book on top of her face.

Veronica: you should see how your girlfriend is so unapproachable right now 🙄
The word girlfriend is still not fully sinking in me. I guess it's because I left after we both confessed to each other, well, the announcer ruined our moment after calling out my name for last minute before they close the gate and right now myself couldn't wait to go back but also hesitant—-of how to act around or what will be our set up relationship or maybe she regretted it?
"Summer" my head tilted to Rita "You okay?" but her eyes pinned in my screen and from there a glimpse of teasing smile plastered "I can't believe that you guys are dating. I can still remember our high school moments. You hate her, especially when Ice won over me"
Yeah. I hate her but at the same time, I'm low key admiring her.
I smiled in response before looking around my old room then realizing that never an inch has change, "did your family know about you?" her smile fades out after figuring out my answer by heaving a deep sighed.
How can I tell it to them? Where do I start? I didn't know that this is the scary part.
"Oh summy....one day okay? Take it slow and for now enjoy being here" I'm thankful that Rita is here as well. She is one of my old friend who ran class president that Ice won over during our high school days.
"Thanks" I softly say
We actually plan out to roam around the town later night, to drive to our old hangout cafe and visit the school. Being back here in town is giving me a nostalgia.
"Can I at least get a taste of your baking skills?" Rita pouting at me with her pleading eyes.
Her annoying puppy eye makes me rolled my eyes before getting up as she automatically claps in joy while following me downstairs and into the kitchen.
I gather all the ingredients to make a simple butter cookies "Hi there darling" Papa halting after he saw us "Rita! How long has it been since the last time you girls hangout?"
"Almost 4 years I guess?" She responds.
"That long already?" Papa step inside and placing his things in the table before grabbing bottled water from the fridge "isn't Ice coming over Summer?"
And somehow hearing Ice name coming out from papa makes my heart tremendously nervous "uhm...she's really busy" why am I sweating?
Papa nodded. If I were to confess that I'm gay and dating Ice? He'll be on my last list of person. Don't get me wrong, my father is the best in the whole wide world but strict too, plus he wants grandkids "and how are you girls? Any updates? How's living together with Ice?" His multiple questions speed up my heartbeat and how my forehead is becoming sweaty cold while trying to pulled a force shaky smile.
From the corner of my eyes, Rita seems fidgety. Guess we're both nervous whether to admit it or not today or never....
"Fine" I shortly say while really trying to act my normal demeanor "Hhows work today?"
Papa exhaled before getting back his things from the table "Business is super good these days and pardon me girls but my body screams chair massage"
Rita and I hummed with an awkward smile to papa while watching him walking out from the kitchen and from there, we both breath in relief.
She point out her index finger "That is literally scary" she says before placing her palm on top of her chest.
"I know right....maybe he will know it in time"
"Yes and make sure that I'm not around because you have no idea how I was holding my breath the whole time" she says between grabbing cold ice water.
I nodded. Well, we both know how strict my father is.
