Chapter 17- Girlfriend

        The rest of my day went fabulously. Liz and I hung out in our classes we had together and we were always close together. I was still in shock at the fact that she agreed to be my girlfriend. She's so amazing and beautiful and smart, and I'm me. On top of our new relationship status I got moved to first chair in my section today in orchestra! Really this day couldn't get any better. 

       "Hey let me walk my new girlfriend to her locker then walk you out to your foster dads car," Liz suggested.

        "Of course I would love my girlfriend to do that," I smiled.

      We walked towards my locker, trying to discreetly hold hands. As we got closer to my locker I saw Trent and some of his friend heading our way. I started silently freaking out because I didn't want them to hurt me or Liz. All of the freaking out ceased when Liz looked over at me and smiled while we were holding hands. We weren't being super discreet about our relationship at that moment but I stopped caring.

         "Oh look it's the little fags!"

        "Haha yeah a pair of dykes."

         "Nah that blonde one, Liz I think, is way to pretty to be with Anne."

        "Look at them, being nasty and trying to shove their homo relationship in our faces."

       "Yeah just the thought of that is really disgusting."

      We heard a barrage of stupid homophobic comments being slung our way. Liz does what she always does, just brushes it off. She's amazing, I mean people can say stuff about her and she can just brush it off. I wish I could do that. She did surprise me by turning towards them and said something to them.

    "Listen leave me and my beautiful girlfriend alone. We don't need any of your homophobic bullshit. If you can't keep those comments to yourself please leave us alone and never come near us again," She then turned and walked off.

     I, of course, followed in her suit, leaving behind the homophobic idiots. Once we got to my locker though I noticed a lot of people were looking at us. Some with disgusted looks some just simply looking because they heard talking about us. Word travels fast in high school so I'm sure by tomorrow everyone will know about us.

      I quickly gathered all of my stuff and we went to her locker to get her stuff. We were talking the whole way. She wanted to plan for us to get together at one of our houses and just chill and talk. I thought the idea was perfect but I was worried about the whole meet the parents ordeal. I'm not good with regular people much less people I need to impress and get them to like me. After we got all of her stuff we started to head outside to get picked up by our parents, keeping the conversation we had before going.

      We reached the outdoor courtyard and we both started to look for our parents. I spotted Lin's car first so I told her I had to go. She insisted she walk me to the car so of course I said she could. Once we got to the car I noticed Lin had the window rolled down and was looking at us suspiciously.

       "Hello Anne. Who's this?" He asked.

       "Hi Mr.Miranda. I'm Elizabeth, but people just call me Liz, and I'm Anne's girlfriend," Liz replied.

        "Oh just call me Lin please and ohh a girlfriend! You should come over sometime so you can meet my wife and hang out with little Anne over here," Lin said.

      I put my head in my hands, blushing bright red.

         "Lin don't embarrass me," I whisper yelled at him.

         "I'm not being embarrassing I promise," he chuckled.

        I heard Liz laughing and I turned to give her the stink eye. These two are going to be the death of me. They were both now laughing at my expense.

        "I mean I can ask my mom if I can come over today if that's ok with you guys," she said breathless from all of the laughter.

       "Oh of course just check with your mom and text me if you can come over. Also tell me what time you want to come over," I stated as I got into the passengers side of Lin's car.

       "Ok! I'll hopefully see you tonight," she replied as she headed off to find her mom's car.

       "Well if I can have any input I liked her," Lin said.

      I just laughed and cranked up the radio. We both sang very loudly, and badly on my part, to the radio on our journey home. I was laughing all the way home because Lin is a dork. He decided to do car dancing at all of the stop lights and let me say he wasn't that good. But I would be lying if I said I didn't join him. I was also just as bad as him at the whole car dancing thing. Hey, it's hard to do a good car dance.

      As as soon as we got home we both hopped out and danced our way to the apartment. Of course we probably looked like loons but hey we were having a good time. I went to my room to drop off my book bags and probably do a bit of homework when I felt my phone vibrate.

    From: Liz 💕😍
      Hey! So we are on for tonight and I will be there at around 5pm. You da best and I'll see you then!

   I smiled down at my phone because I'm dating an adorable dork. Though soon a wave of panic hit me. What if Lin changes his mind later and hates her? What if Vanessa hates her? I can't date a girl they hate! I'm really hoping they love her.

Hello! It is I! I'm so sorry about not updating yesterday but I hope you like this! I will try and update again tonight but I can't promise anything. How do you think meeting the parents will go? Anywho bye! XOXO
