Grace and Hannah were woken up by the alarm at 7:30 in the morning. "Why do you still have the alarm for so early if it is the weekend?" Grace asked, her voice groggy as she was waking up. "Sorry. I'll change the time for you if you want." Hannah replied sounding a little more alive than Grace. Hannah got up and went to the bathroom. Grace laid in her bed staring at the ceiling thinking about what had happened last night. She couldn't get Hannah off her mind.
She was thinking about just telling Hannah that she had liked her but how would Hannah respond? What if she doesn't have the same feelings. This whole thing was making her head spin in confusion. Grace got up and got her outfit for the day and as she went to knock on the door to ask when Hannah was coming out Hannah opened the door. They were standing only inches apart from each other and Hannah smirked. Grace started blushing and she stepped back.
"I'm sorry if I-I was in y-your personal space." Grace said nervously looking at the ground to try to hide the embarrassment in her face. Hannah got closer to her again and looked at Grace, "It's okay." Hannah smiled as she saw that Grace's face was getting redder by the second. Grace started leaning in as if she was going to kiss her but she thought about it too much. Making her just jump and try to change the moment. "I should go get in the shower. Wouldn't want this to walk all over campus." Grace giggled and walked quickly into the bathroom.
She locked the door and looked at herself in the mirror. "Dang it Grace! You were right there! She didn't even budge. You could have just kissed her and walked away!" Grace was fighting with herself for a couple of minutes when she decided to just get into the shower.
After about 30 minutes Grace finally came out wiht her clothes on and make-up done. Hannah was sitting on her bed playing her guitar making up more songs.
"You should really think about talking to Mr. Penna. I would love it if you really got into music." Grace told Hannah smiling a little. Hannah didn't know how to respond. She just changed the subject. "Maybe we should refresh our memory on the stuff for Mr. Sivan's class. I'm pretty sure I forgot some things, and there are things I haven't gotten to."
Grace looked down. She thought that maybe it was just a little too early to even talk about that. "Yea. You're right. Sorry for bringing that up." Hannah looked at her and smiled a little. "It's fine."
They sat in their beds and started studying. Hannah looked up at Grace, confused and still questioning what had happened last night. "So last night you called me 'Babe'. I know that it didn't have anything to do with the test because our test is on Canada and partial of Europe. So I know you meant to call me babe but you just didn't realize." Grace looked up at Hannah. You could see the embarrassment on her face. She swallowed the lump in her throat so she could answer, but she didn't even have another excuse to make up this time.
"I'm sorry. It just slipped. I didn't mean it. I know you're probably freaked out by me now. Ugh, I'm such an idiot." Grace said, speaking fast. Hannah put her book to the side and went over to Grace's bed and sat in front of her. They were at least a foot apart but Hannah made sure she got a little closer.
"You didn't freak me out at all. I actually liked that. It caught me off guard, yea. But you do not know how happy that made me a little. I like you Grace. I know we've only been roommates for like a week but I like you. You're interesting."
Grace started blushing. She didn't know what to say. She had her mouth parted as if she was to say something but by the time she took her breath to say something Hannah put her finger on her lips to shush her. Hannah slowly leaned in to kiss her. Only centimeters apart. But then there was a knock on the door.
Grace sighed and got up to get the door and Hannah just sat on Grace's bed looking down. "So close!" She thought to herself.
Grace opened the door. "W-What are you doing here?"
