Truth Be Told, I Love You

Chapter 3

Whoa I'm getting a lot more reads compared to my old book. OH! And POV change. Anyway...READ ON!

**~\(>u<)/~**

Karina's POV

I looked for any signs of disgust in my friend's eyes, but all I saw was shock from Alex and confusion from Chloe.

"That means you like guys and girls?" Chloe asked

"Yeah" I said, "Nothing is wrong with that right?"

"No."

"Alex?" I looked over at Alex with a hopeful expression. I know Alex pretty well and she is weird, violent, and very homophobic. So, my liking for girls might really gross her out but I was surprised with her answer.

"Yeah, nothing will change." She said with a smile. I looked at the both of them with a big smile and brought them in to a hug

"Thank you guys; this is why I love you two...NOT LIKE THAT! I MEAN AS FRIENDS." I said with a bit of panic but we all just ended up laughing. Once we calmed down, Chloe still had some questions for me.

"So...did you have any girl crushes yet?" I looked at her with a bit of shock and looked away in embarrassment

"M-maybe..."

"You do!" she gasped, "Who, who, who, is it someone we know?"

"Well.... I guess I have a small crush on... Karen...."

"I KNEW IT! You seem so happy with her around."

"BE QUIET! SOMEONE MIGHT HEAR YOU! Yes I like her but don't tell ANYONE. That is for me to do." I whisper screamed

"Ok." She said whispering too.

You might be wondering what Alex was doing the whole time. Well she was listening...sort of but, as long as we're still friends right?

Chloe's POV

After our talk with Karina, we ate lunch then headed outside for recess. It turns out that Cara and Jessie had a soccer practice that day so it was just Karen, Alex, Karina and me hanging out together. Even though I hang out with Karen more than the other eighth graders I tend to like Cara more. I don't know why, but that's just me.

I went home that day with this new information about Karina and my sudden attachment to Cara. And so, the self questioning began. I sat up in my room, sprawled on my small bed and began piecing everything together.

"I think I'm Bisexual" Karina's statement replayed in my head

"I hang out with Karen more, but I prefer Cara."

"The touch of her hand gave me a good feeling"

"Her smile is kind"

"She makes my heart beat faster than usual."

All of these things played in my head and I started questioning myself

"Why does Cara make me feel this way? Why does Karina's statement keep replaying in my head? Do these things go together in a way?" Then I felt a sudden shock "Am I in love with Cara?!" I sat straight in my bed and thought more about this. "There is no way I'm in love with her right? I swear I'm straight." I lie back down and found a conclusion. "Maybe it's just a phase, yeah, a phase. Everyone gets those feelings right...right?" With this conclusion, I calmed down and was called for dinner.

For a good 2 weeks I kept telling myself that it was just a phase and before I knew it. It was the last day of April and that my feelings do anything but get stronger! Since it was the weekend I was at home sitting on the couch with my little sister. I sat there thinking while she was on the iPad doing who knows what.

"What do these feelings mean?" I thought "If they don't do anything but get stronger, then there is no way that this is just a phase. Maybe...Maybe, just maybe... I am in love with her!" There was no way I could hold this in; I had to get it off of my mind so I decided to spark a conversation with my little sister.

"Hey, Ally?" I called her

"Yeah?" she said not taking her eyes off of Flappy Bird

"You wanna talk to me?"

"No." She said rather bluntly. This is exactly why we don't talk. She isn't nice to me.

"C'mon I'm bored."

"What were you thinking about earlier?" she said still not looking at me

"Well, I was thinking about how I feel about my friend. You see, she is very beautiful and makes my heart beat faster and her name is Cara. I did some thinking lately and I think I might be in love with her and..." I said everything way too fast until I realized what I said.

My sister looked at me with a dropped jaw and wide eyes.

"What?" that word was the only word she could mutter out. I looked down in embarrassment with a slight blush tinting my checks.

"J-just forget it, and don't tell anyone." I stuttered. Before Ally could say anything back, our mom called us for dinner. Thank lord for dinner and moms.

That night I couldn't sleep. I just couldn't stop thinking about Cara. An image of her was implanted into my head she just... was perfect; she was like....my princess. WHAT AM I SAYING! Do I like her that much? Should I tell Alex and Karina? No, no, no, Alex will scream in horror and Karina...she'll probably start aggressively shipping us and writing some fanfiction and....don't get me started with smut (Daily life of a fangirl XD). I needed sleep for school the next day, so I just tried to force myself to sleep. I drifted to sleep with a mental note. No one can know about this...at least, not now.
