CHAPTER 3

-The Volktina logged in

GraphicLeah: Greetings from Leahto!

The Volktina: Leahto? What the fuck is that?

GraphicLeah: LOL! It’s the planet in the book I’m writing. It’s called Leahto. Only people called Leah live there.

The Volktina: Oh? How do they reproduce?

GraphicLeah: Asexually of course. But they’re all lesbians!

The Volktina: G2g, Anton’s calling me

GraphicLeah: Anna says hi!

-The Volktina has logged out.

“Julia!” Anton called up the stairwell.

“I’m coming! What is it?” I went down to him.

“James is here,” Anton had a slightly negative tone in his voice. James stood in the doorway.

“Hey James!” I ran up to him and hugged him.

“Hey, can we go somewhere private?” he gestured to Anton, Anton looked angry.

“Sure, my room?” I suggested. James nodded. When we were in my room we sat down on my bed. I brought my knees up to my chin and leaned against the wall.

“What’s up?” I asked, concerned, James has never done this before.

“Julia, you know I really like you,” he said, absently staring at a tatu poster on the wall. I blinked,

“Huh?”

“I want to be with you, hold your hand, kiss you,” he hesitated, “be inside you.”

“You mean sex?” I was scared now. He nodded.

“James, you know I can’t do that!” I said anxiously.

“Please Julia!” he pleaded, “just let me do it, once, then you can go off and be gay.”

I shook my head, “no.” His face turned livid.

“For fuck sake, Julia! We’ve been best friends for ten fucking years, and you won’t let me do this!” He shouted. I felt angry, no way was he going to treat me like this, who did he think he was?

“We’re not friends just so you can fuck me! Show some respect!” I jumped up and stormed out from my own bedroom.

“Anton!” I cried, “Get James out please!” Anton hurried up the stairs.

“Fuck you, you little dyke!” shouted James as he ran past me and Anton both. At the stairwell he turned and said, “I don’t need your pussy-ass brother to kick me out!”

“Leave!” shouted Anton. James went down the stairs. I heard the door slam.

“Are you ok?” Anton asked looking scared. I was crying. Anton wrapped his skinny arms around me. There really isn’t much to him.

“I’ll be OK, please lock the door,” I asked. I get really scared when stuff like this happens. Like when Uncle Joe stayed over before he passed away. Anton and I both know it’s because of him that our older sister, Chantel, left. Anton patted my back and went back downstairs. I went back to my room and noticed one of my tatu posters were ripped down. I picked it up and realised it had been vandalized with the words;

‘ALL DYKES GO 2 HELL’

James had drawn it across Lena and Yulia’s faces. My hands started shaking. I let out a loud scream. I had never felt so angry! I started crying into the poster, my tears soaking Yulia and Lena’s faces, the pen ink ran down. Anton rushed in.

“What are you doing?” he asked. I slowly held up the poster and watched Anton’s face contort furiously. “Oh my god,” he said.

“Why, Anton, why?” I cried, “I thought he was my best friend! Then it turns out he just wanted to have sex with me!” Anton sat beside me.

“Julia, he obviously couldn’t handle the fact you are. I wouldn’t call that best friend material,” he said although he was quite clearly furious.

I nodded, “I feel betrayed.”

“That’s understandable, can we go into town? I want to meet up with Anna.”

“Yes, thanks Anton,” I hugged him, “I love you bro.”

“I love you to sis, I’m always here for you.”
