You're so beautiful, yet so unaware of it

The Textening

Charlotte's POV

I made my way into the girl's locker room at Carrollton High School, currently blasting Hannah Montana's anthem I've Got Nerve in my headphones (if you ask anybody else, I was definitely listening to Fuckin' Problems). Just as I was reaching for the lock on my locker I felt my headphones being unceremoniously ripped from my ears, unfortunately outing my love for Ms. Montana.

"Who in the fu-" I immediately shut my mouth when I was met with the most beautiful pair of brown eyes known to man. I'm not exaggerating. They were literally like swimming in a pool of a warm caramel...absolutely divine.

"Hey Charmander, this is Clare uh...Cambero right?" The girl nodded as I was snapped out of my daze by my best friend Leah who I honestly hadn't even noticed until she opened her big mouth. "She just transferred from Palmetto and she's joining the softball team...Charlie?" She snapped her fingers in front of my face.

"Huh?"

"I swear, she isn't always such a ditz." Leah rolled her eyes as the most adorable giggle escaped Clare's lips.

"Oh um, fuck. Hi. I'm Charlotte." I wiped my palm on my skirt before extending it to Clare. She immediately took my hand in her own, shaking it lightly.

"It's super nice to meet you." She spoke in a silky tone.

"Y-yeah meet to nice you too." I mentally slapped myself.

"What?"

"It's nice to meet you too...um, welcome to the team." I gave her a weak smile as I silently died of embarrassment.

"Thanks! Well I kinda have to go but I'll see you at practice after school." She winked, causing me to internally combust, before turning around and skipping out of the locker room. The moment the door closed behind her I slid my back down the lockers, letting my legs give out, as I let out an extremely loud, angst ridden groan.

"So the new girl is pretty cute huh?" Leah smirked.

"Fuck you. Why did you even have to bring her in here?"

"Well as captain of the team," She paused to give me a smug grin. "Coach said I had to introduce her to all the players. I was saving the gayest for last." Leah was the only person who knew I was gay. It's not like I was really hiding, hell, I had two mom's, but I just never really had the urge to tell anyone else. However, Leah loved reminding me of my sexuality, always making lewd comments and insinuations that only the two of us understood.

"I repeat, fuck you."

"No thanks," She chuckled. "I'm surprised you're able to talk normally again...meet to nice you." She mocked, throwing her head back as she shook with laughter.

"Why are we even friends?" I grimaced.

"Because you love me."

"No."

"Yes. Admit it!"

"Ugh fine."

"Success!" She thrust her fist in the air. "But seriously, she's hella cute right? I mean, I'm not even gay and I would tap that."

"She's so...ugh I don't want to think about it."

"Damn, you're in love already! You move fast CJ."

"I take it back, I don't love you."

"Mmhmm, whatever. All I'm saying is Clare is adorable and quite frankly, stunning. You have a type, she is it, and you should try and make a move."
