Immediately, Laura Lee falls to her knees on the floor. Praying for Shauna's and I's souls, while everyone else looks at us in shock. They look at us as if we just killed their entire family in front of them.

Coach Ben smiles slightly but before he can say anything, Misty speaks up first.

"So does this mean you're..." She looks around at everyone before she whispers the last word, "gay?"

"No Misty, it means they are straighter than the lines on the pride flag." Van says sarcastically.

"It does?" Misty asks, clearly not understanding sarcasm.

"No." Tai, Van, Nat, Lottie, Shauna, and I all say at the same time.

Misty looks visually offended but she shuts up.

Shauna's head lays on my shoulder and I pay no mind to the conversation around me, feeling like my heart has stopped.

"Didn't it, Jackie?"

I'm snapped back into reality at the sound of my name. It takes me way too long to realize it was Nat who spoke to me.

"I'm sorry what" I look at Nat, trying to pay attention. Not looking at Shauna so I'm not distracted by how fucking adorable she is when her head is on my soulder.

"Didn't Lottie and I's advice help you with yourself and Shauna?"

I nod and smile, an actual genuine smile.

"Look at you two, in your own little world, so cute" Lottie smiles at us

"It's not like you two aren't..." Nat shoots me a glare that says if I finish my original sentence, I will be murdered by her. And I have a feeling it will be a long and painful experience. So I try to fix my sentence. "It's not like you two haven't seen this coming"

Lottie scoffs and mouths, 'smooth.' She leans back into her seat on the bus and sips her coffee.

I look down at Shauna but I can see in her eyes that she's worried about something.

"Honey?" I lift her head up by putting my finger under her chin. "What's bothering you?"

Honey. Lifting her head up with my finger.

I'm doing the coupley things I've always wanted done to me. But I'm the one doing it. To another woman.

But the fact that I'm the one doing this makes me feel even more certain that Shauna is the one for me.
