Red... [GirlxGirl]

Chapter 2

Candace twitches in irritation at the hormonal boy chatting her ear off. It was the hyper smaller twin, Zeke. Candace rubs her temples in exhaustion, Zeke although is almost completely identical to Gabe, are really different. "Zeke, I know you don't want to hear this, but, leave me alone, please."

Zeke stops talking and gives Candace a confused look, but it quickly vanishes and is replaced by a cheeky smile, his dimple becoming evident, "Sorry, it's just been a long time since Dania has been interested in someone."

Candace's curiosity is peaked, she gives Zeke a side glance, and tries her best to be innocent, "Interested, what is that supposed to mean?"

Zeke smirks, a glint shines in his onyx eyes, "You know what I mean Candace."

Candace scowls at the books she's carrying, she didn't even look at him, and she kept her expression placid, how did he know? Even Candace's own parents couldn't see through her poker face. "Belle told me she wasn't into women."

Zeke's eyes turn sad as he looks away from Candace, "Dania doesn't really like anyone, but she does indeed like girls."

Candace could sense the hidden mystery behind his words, "Why is that?"

Zeke chuckles, "Very observant I see."

Candace chuckles back, the curiosity biting at her tongue, "Did something happen?"

Zeke looks around intently before lowering his voice, Candace has to lean in to hear his quiet response, "She's afraid."

Candace gives Zeke a perplexed look, "Afraid? Afraid of what?"

Zeke looks at Candace with a sad smile, only further confusing her, "Afraid of losing who she loves again."

"Again? You mean it's happened before?"

Zeke nods grimly, "It's up to her to tell you the rest, just promise me two things."

Candace looks at him warily, "Yes..."

Zeke turns uncharacteristically serious, "Don't hurt her. And don't tell her I told you! The bell rung, I have to go, and I'm assuming you do too."

Candace stands in her place unmoving, she's been in love before. Candace feels drastically upset, but for what, she does not know, her chest feels tight, as if someone where tying a rope around her lungs and pulling as hard as they could. Candace stood there, unmoving until a familiar voice wakes her from her trance, "Candace? Are you alright?"

That worried Italian accent, Dania. Candace turns to said girl, and keeps her eyes to Dania's black combats, she felt a strong urge to ask the girl before her about her past love, but did not want to make Dania push her away, Candace couldn't fathom the thought of not having Dania by her side, even if as merely friends. Dania could tell her if she wanted to in the future. "Candace. We're going to be late to class."

Candace finally looks up at Dania, her perfect brows were pinched together adorably in worry, her delicate and sharp nose scrunched cutely, her lips in a small frown, Candace gulped, "I-I'm fine, you're right, let's go to class."

Dania's brown hues linger on Candace's face a few seconds longer, seemingly trying to figure her out, she finally looked away and nodded passing the latter slowly, a wonderful smell floating into Candace's nostrils. The smell almost made her faint because of how strong it was, it made her skin tingle in a pleasurable way. Did Dania smell this way before? She hadn't noticed. The taller girl noticed the latter's hesitance, "Are you sure you're okay, Candace?"

Candace nods and tries her best to give a reassuring smile, "Stop worrying so much, Dania, you're to young for all the stress you're putting on yourself."
