//UNUSUALLY BEAUTIFULLY TRAGIC: CHAPTER 3:PART 2//

Lakshmi

I'm sitting in 6th period science questioning a couple things.

Thing #1: Since when has Sabeen been so pretty?

Thing #2: Am I straight?
Follow up: Should I be straight?

I've never had to worry about anything like this, and it's kinda scaring me.

I've never met another gay person, besides Cameron, as of today, and it's never really crossed my mind.

I knew what they were and never had a problem with them because I think it's ridiculous to question and diminish someone just for who you love.

As for Sabeen, I'm just going to push that away for right now.

Why?

Because she's my best friend and I've known her for 4 years, and nothing should come between our friendship.

Not even what might be a small.silly.little.crush.

Sabeen

As I walk into the library, nervousness pools in my stomach and I rethink my whole decision for doing this.

And that's something that doesn't happen that often, to be perfectly honest.

I always tell Lakshmi to be confident in who she is, and not to question anything because she is amazing and the world deserves to know that.

And I tell her that because I believe that and I think she should too.

But in this particular instance, I don't know if the whole word deserves to know about my awesome-gayness.

Lakshmi

Sitting at the café table in the local library, waiting for Sabeen, hoping she comes soon because I can't be alone with my thoughts any longer today.

Thankfully, about 30 seconds later, I see her coming in, her firey red hair standing out in the sea of popular kids laughing with there so-called friends.

I wave over at her, and she half-smiles at me, making her way over to our table.

She sits down and I immediately sense something different in her demeanor.

You can usually feel the happiness radiating off of her, but today, only half of that vibe seems to come off.

I wrinkle up my nose in confusion and proceed to ask her what's wrong.

"Oh, oh, it's uh, nothing," she replies getting some of her books out of her backpack.

But she's lyyyyinggggg!!!

"What do you need to tell me?"

She whips her head up quickly, and looks around the vicinity we're in, like she's trying to make sure no one hears us.

Maybe she is.

But what could she be keeping from me?

Maybe she likes you baaaack!

No, no, I told myself I couldn't keep thinking like that.

So back down the drain it goes. *sigh*

Back in reality, I still see Sabeen's head whipping around like a radio antenna from the 1950s.

"Just spit it out." I hear myself say, eager to know what it is that's making her this upset.

Before she says anything regarding her discomfort, she promises me that she not doing it because it's a trend.

What?

Sabeen

I felt like, since Cameron told us about her today, that I should make sure Lakshmi knows it isn't a faze.

Because it isn't,

And after I say that,

I tell her about my,

Awesome-gayness.
