Bruh I swear to god I fail as a girl because I can't walk up to a girl and be like "Oh you're so pretty!" Thats weird to me. I can't do it because when I do it I get a fucking strange look ,the "Why the fuck are you talking to me" look *Dramatically moves hair from my face*" Like totally admire my beauty from a far....Bitch" OFCOURSE SHE DIDN'T SAY THIS but she looked like she wanted to Mmmmhm ANYWAY LET'S CONTINUE 

Alektra P.O.V

Sophia was a very colorful person....Alektra thought walking into her room for the first time. 

Sophia's room had many posters of Madonna on her walls...

"You sure do like Madonna" Alektra said cautiously hoping she doesn't take offense. 

"Oh yeah she's my idol" Sophia said sitting on her bed as she pat the spot next to her indicating to sit next to her, which Alektra did.

It has been a week now that Sophia and Alektra have been "friends" but this is the first time Alektra has ever been in Sophia's room which was set up much like her own but without the posters of Madonna. When you first  walk into her room there is a poster of Madonna in a tuxedo with the words "I'm Madonna bitch" below in red writing. To the left there was her average small dorm bed which was made, unlike hers. Across from that there is was a mahogany desk with a mahogany drawer right next to it. On the desk there was colorful niknaks of cats and dogs bobble heads, picture frames, a freaken purple sunflower (Who the hell have those) and a rainbow clock.

To me the room itself screamed gay, even from the rainbow bed we were sitting on but I was a bit too distracted to say anything about it. Sophia was sitting a little away from me on her bed, but I could still smell her. She smelled like a french vanilla ice cream that couldn't wait to be licked.  

Today Sophia wore a loose white dress with white sandals, her hair was down again and as she looked in her Anthropology book, I couldn't help but notice how pale her neck was. I had the strongest urge just to lean over and just bite the sh-

"Are you listening?" Sophia asked sounding annoyed, her blue eyes now looking at me.

"No" I said truthfully

"Why?" 

"Because your room looks like a rainbow threw up on it." I tried to deadpan but I couldn't keep the smile off my face.

"Who says stuff like that?" Sophia said laughing. She had a nice laugh just like a child's, sweet and innocent.

"I do because this room is so colorful it makes my eyes hurt" I said covering my eyes.

"Oh shut up." She hit my arm playfully " I would have thought you of all people would respect my rainbow taste."

"Oh, so all gay people must obviously love rainbows just like how all black people love watermelon"I said looking in her  eyes challenging her .

"No!" She stared back with hurt "I didn't mean that at all, I don't feed into stereotypes. I thought you would like rainbows because you often wear something with a rainbow on it like your bracelet. " She pointed at my buttoned rainbow bracelet.

"Oh" Was all I could say and there was a awkward silence.Why did I even say that?

"Let's just get back to studying please?" She mumbled looking back at her textbook.

"Sure...." I said opening mine "What page are we on?"

Sophia P.O.V.

We've been sitting together for over an hour now and I haven't read a thing in my textbook. I glance over to Alektra for the hundredth time and see that she's almost done with the chapter. 

What she said earlier really hurt me and I don't understand why she would say such a thing. I would ask but I didn't want things to be awkward between us. 

I sighed and looked back at my book still not reading, until I noticed her arm. Yes it was about 3 inches away from mine but I couldn't help but see the contrast to my own. Her skin was of milk chocolate and looked oh so smooth compared to my  plain skin, my eyes then wander to her big man like hands but they had a women's slenderness and elegance. My eyes fell down lower to her flat stomach then to her wide hips covered in blue jeans. I bit my bottom lip imagining what was in her jeans.

"Do I have something on my clothes?" Alektra asked breaking her trance.

I cleared my throat and looked at her "No I was just admiring how fit you are, do you play sports?" Considering her height and build I would think she would play basketball or soccer but then I saw a touch of sadness in her eyes.

"Not any more...." Was all she said and stood abruptly. I must have hurt her feelings I didn't mean to.

"Don't-"

"Wanna go get some ice cream? We've been working so hard I think we should treat ourselves." She said smiling, I love her smile she has a small gap and cute dimples with beautiful white teeth......Did I just say love?

"Uh, sure" I said closing my book and  sitting it on the bed. 

"Alright because i'm totally craving some vanilla." She said looking in my eyes before turning to walk outside. 

Alektra P.O.V.

Me and Sophia were sitting in front of each other outside eating our ice cream when Imara and Jessica walked to our table.

"Oh hey you guys what are you two doing together?"Sophia asked. A few days later after talking to Sophia, Imara formally apologized to Jessica and now they seem to be getting along very well. 

I couldn't help but notice how close Imara was standing next to Jessica and I raised my eyebrow in question but Jessica just shrugged. 

"We just came from the library and figured on getting some ice cream." Imara said doing the same eyebrow thing to Sophia.

"Well go get some then we can all sit down and talk!" Sophia said cheerfully

"Alright, brb" Imara said as both her and Jessica walked into the ice cream shop.

"I think I see sparks!" Sophia said enthusiastically taking the seat next to me.

"Yeah, I see it to." I said licking my ice cream.

"Was that really the vanilla you were craving for?"Sophia asked and I looked at her shocked. She also came to a realization of what she said to and covered her mouth.

"We're back~?" Jessica said looking at both of us in question.

Things just got more awkward
