I wish I was lying too!!!! It all started the day after the incident. Ever since then, she was always bothering me. Bringing me coffee in class, playing "guess who" when im studying, always interfering, always texting, and even worst, she started to ignore Raven altogether. But what I couldnt undertand was Raven. It was like she didnt care about anything Sophia did. As if she wasnt even there. Like she was watching a shadow. And me? I thought I was gonna go insane. You want to know why? Its like this. I like eating meat. But what if I was dealing with eating a cow. I barely finish that one cow, then another one is brought in as dessert. Imagine how I feel. Of course I tried to ask politely.
"What are you talking about?" Sophia says a smile.
"I'm asking you to stop it. I dont know what you're doing...but please stop it." I replied.
"Why should I? You said you liked me when we first met." Sophia says.
"Thats not what I meant...anyway, I have a girlfriend okay?" I explained.
I tried to convince her not to bother me and Raven anymore.
"Isnt it better to have 2?" She says.
"What...?" I replied, confused.
"Is that illegal? I didnt think so. You get married with 2 women, thats called polygamy, right? Anyway, maybe thats illegal but what about having 2 girlfriends? Anyway, go look it up. If its illegal, i'll stop. Until then, no." She says, kissing my cheek.
"Stop it!! I'm saying I dont like it! I really dont like this, so just stop! Dont you get it?!" I explained.
I even made it absoluetly clear.
"Hmm..well thats cute. Fine. I'll just have a crush on from now on. Thats okay right? If you try to stop me forcefully...Now thats illegal.
I was speechless. But, the craziest thing happend that night. I was telling Raven everything that had happend that day.
"I'm so tired of it all. I'm gonna make sure I'm really mean to her tomorrow so that she gives up for real...!" I said turning over under my blanket.
My biggest fear was that there was going to be a misunderstanding. But then...
"Have you ever had sex?" Raven asked.
"What..?" I asked confusingly.
"Sex. You've never done it, right?" She replied, sitting up looking ahead.
"W-why...?" I stupidly asked.
"I knew it, you havent." Raven says lowering her head and closing her eyes.
"Want me to teach you?" She said, looking at me.
