Pirouette

Chapter Fifty Five // Coming Out

- Ella's POV -

I stormed into the boarding house in the worst mood ever. I was cold, tired and fed up of running around all day. I care about Kim a lot but tiring myself out is just not worth it, especially as we have an important assignment tomorrow.

Alison came running down the stairs as soon as she heard the door slam, she gave me a hug and stared at me.

"What's wrong? Didn't you find her?" She asked, I shook my head and entered the dinner hall.

"Hayden is still out there but he is going insane, I couldn't get him to come back with me" I explained while grabbing a plate and a carton of juice. Cody and Bethany were sitting at a table in silence and Cody looked really stressed. I made my way over to them and sat down beside Bethany.

"Are you alright Cody?" I asked as I stuffed my face with potatoes, Alison sat beside me with nothing and I turned to face her. I scooped up some potatoes with my fork and put it in front of her face, she looked at it then looked at me weirdly.

"One fork full, it's all I'm asking" I said quietly, Bethany looked over at us with her eyebrows raised and Alison took the mouth full of potatoes. I started to cheer happily then patted her on the back, she looked really uncomfortable eating but it had to be done.

"I'm fine.. Just stressed about tomorrow" Cody whined five minutes after I asked him a question.

"Why are you guys acting like a married couple? Married couples share their food with the same fork" Bethany said as she poured some vodka into her tea, I grabbed her drink and moved it away from her.

"It's not married couples who do that, it's people who are 'loved up'" Cody commented with emphasis on the words 'loved up'. Me and Alison glanced at each other in embarrassment and Bethany gasped.

"What is going on here?!" She shouted before dropping her fork and almost climbing on the table in excitement, Cody looked over at us in surprise and my face went bright red.

"What are you talking about? I have no idea what's happening right now" I muttered while nervously twirling a loose strand of my hair. Cody and Bethany looked at each other with wide eyed expressions.

"Alison are you a lesbian?" Bethany asked as if it was a bad thing, I looked over at her in worry but she nodded.

"Yes, I am" Alison said proudly, she smiled to herself and I couldn't help but clap.

"That's hot" Cody said with a grin, I hit him playfully and he jumped out of his fantasy.

"That's it! We are having a sleepover tonight in me and Alison's dorm, You're both invited" Bethany said while pointing to me and Cody, I nodded.

"When did you come up with this idea?! Do I not have a say?" Alison snapped.

"Oh shut up lesbo!" Bethany shouted before laughing, Alison rolled her eyes and we all left the dinner hall.

"So what are you Ella?" Bethany asked while nudging me.

"I have no clue"
