An O'Solo Love Story

4.

"It's fine. Now, have you ever been in a relationship?"

Kelly's POV
I bet my face just got as white as Hope's was a few seconds ago. What do I say? I can lie, I'm used to it, but I want this friendship to last and I don't think it's smart to start with lies right off the bat.
"Um...no. Lot of one night stands, but no actual girlfriends." I scratch the back of my neck, anxious to see her reaction.

Hope's POV
She didn't lie. That means she trusts me. She'll regret it as soon as you break her heart.
She looks at the ground, nervous for my reaction.
"Um, did you say girlfriend?"
"Uhhh. Yeah, yeah I did."
"So you're a lesbian?"
She nods her head.
"Really?!? Me too!" Never thought I'd ever have to tell someone that.
"Are you serious?"
"Yup." I say popping the p. "Alright, time for the camera to come back on. Now tell me, what do you hate about being gay?"
"So many assume. Very little know."
"Care to explain what you mean by that?"
"All the over-confident girls think I like them. All the boys think I'll steal their girlfriends. I wouldn't play like that. Besides, no one at this school is even hot. So as I said, so many assume what I'm thinking and who I like and shit, but so little know. Only Tobin and Alex know."
"Oh, maybe I can meet this Alex girl sometime?"
"Yeah sure."
"Can we go in and watch a movie or something know? You know, if you want to. Or if you wanna just go home or-"
I chuckle at her. "Relax Kelley. I'd love to watch a movie."
I'm sitting on her bed, waiting for Kelley to start the movie. She went to get a drink. I quickly pull out my phone to tell my father how the plan is going.
Hope: hey. I'm at #9's house. We're gonna watch a movie. Should be back later tonight. Don't text me back cuz she'll be coming back any second now and I don't want her to see your text. Night.
I had put a heart on the end and wrote "I love you". I quickly erased it and sent the message without it. I know better than to show emotions like that. It'll only get me hurt.
Tears quickly fill my eyes, a single tear sliding down my cheek.
"I'm back!" I qucikly wipe the tear away, grateful that Kelley had been too busy closing the door to notice.

"You idot, what are you doing?" Kelley yells at the screen, throwing popcorn at it. We've been watching horror movies all night and she clearly doesn't agreewith what the actors are doing. We've watched Oculus, all the Saw Movies, and Children of the Corn so far. Let's just say, horror movies terrify me. I literally get so paranoid for like two years after watching a horror movie. So it looks like I won't be getting any sleep for at least a weak. Everyone at this school thinks i'm a badass so I'm trying to act like this is fun, but I'm freaking out.
"Hope, you look scared or nervous. Are you alright? Did you have to be home by now?"
"I-i'm fine. I don't have to be home at a specific time." I gulp as a person cries bloody murder.
"Aw, are you scared? Come here." She opens her arms for me to scoot closer. Within a half second, I'm curled into her side. Well, there goes my reputation. What can I say, the movie was terrifying and Kelley is really pretty. So I guess it works out perfectly. Kelley soothingly rubs my back while yelling curse words at the movie and throwing popcorn at the screen every once in a while.
Something tells me I'm going to love her forever. Even though she'll hate me after what is gonna happen.
