Falling for My Best Friend's Sister [GirlxGirl]

Late Night Talk

Chapter 8

I'm having a decent dream about school surprisingly. In the dream everyone was acting weird though. Like to be able to have good grades in the class we have to finish this obstacle course and for some reason my legs are in braces so how am I supposed to get over all these obstacles?!?! And to make matters worse it looks like Tony is going to win!!! He can't win! The guy hates gym class, there's no way he could smoothly go over these obstacles like he is!!! So this is honestly turning out to be the worst dream ever. Me being in last place and Tony about to win first? Also I can see that Jess is on the sidelines watching all of this, and I'm SUCKING!!!

Thankfully before I can fail even more miserably at the obstacle course, I feel someone shaking me awake. As I slowly opened my eyes, I start to groan and search for the person who saved me from the dream but also is disturbing my lovely sleep.

When I turn my head to the side to look at the culprit, I see that it's Aunt Susan.

"What are you doing?" I say groggily.

"I'm waking you up silly" She says she shakes me some more.

OMG!

"Wwwwwhhhhhyyyy!!!" I'm so tired I can't understand a thing. I turn my head to look at the clock on my dresser.

"It's 2 a.m.!!!" I whisper yell.

"Obviously it's time for our talk! Did you already forget? And stop shouting your wake everyone up" She moves to turn on the lamp light on my dresser.

I make a hissing noise like a cat as the lights go on.

"Turn it off!"

"Nope, I'd like to see your face as we begin our talk" She smiles at me.

"You know Aunt Susan, when you said we were going to talk, I thought you meant at a normal hour like in the afternoon or something. NOT AT 2 A.M.!!"

"Shh, calm down. It will be a quick talk, depending how cooperative you are" She says patting my shoulder.

"You've been watching to many police shows haven't you?"

She just smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Now, how's life?" She says crossing her legs and getting all excited, like we're about to gossip or something.

"Didn't we already talk about that?" I give a puzzled look.

"Oh no, that was the 'Parent Are In The Room' version. Tell me everything, there's no adults in the room who can bust you"

"Aren't you an adult?" I laugh.

"Psh, that's only a technicality with age"

I laugh more. Aunt Susan has never really felt like an adult to me. Just an older friend or more like a big sister. I'd always call her about anything that was troubling me. From things like my parents not being the best sometimes to things like my sexuality.

Aunt Susan was the first one to know that I didn't like boys. And then Tony was second, we were in middle school and he just said 'Thats fine, but don't steal any girls I like'. After my best friend knew, I didn't really care who did. Anyone who knows me at my school knows and anyone who asks I tell them. I don't hide it, well I do from my parents. I know they'll be cool with it, it's just nerve wracking to come out to parents about serious stuff. I plan on telling them when I get a girlfriend. Then I could just bring her over and go 'Surprise!' and that would be it, hopefully.

I snap out of my thoughts and listen to the questions I'm getting bombarded with. But one question stands out.

"So, how's winning your crush over going?"

"What" I'm pretty sure my voice just squeaked a little.

My Aunt's smile gets bigger. "Your crush. Last time we talked on the phone, you said you were going to make a move. So how'd it go?"

I can feel my cheeks heating up.

"W..Well um, I said that her hair was nice?"

Aunt Susan gives me a look of disappointment.

"That's it? No bouquet a flowers? No big sign? Nothing?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"I was nervous. It was my first time 'Making a move'. Besides she ended up getting mad at me in the end"

She looked at me confused.

"Why did she get mad at you?"

"I don't know"

"Okay, well tell me what happened before she was mad"

I try to remember the day.

"Well, after class I wanted to try again. You know after only saying the thing about her hair. So I went to her locker, and there was this guy trying to ask her out this weekend. So I panicked and said that me and her have plans this weekend. After that the guy walked away and she asked 'what plans?' and I panicked again because I just wanted to stop the date, so I said I needed help with homework"

When I'm finished I look at Aunt Susan again and see her sighing and holding the bridge of her nose.

"Are you an idiot?" She asks.

"I don't think so, I have mostly all Bs" I say sarcastically while shrugging my shoulders.

She groans. "Okay! Listen closely, there could be one of two reasons why she was mad at you. One, it's because you ruined her chance at dating that guy. Or two, it's because you said you only needed her for homework and maybe she was expecting more than that"

Did she really want to date that guy? Maybe I should've just backed off.

I feel a hand hit me in the side of my head.

"Oww!"

"Don't 'ow' me, I know you were thinking it's the first reason. You're face was going all sad" She took a deep breath. "Listen you dense fruit cake, when did she get mad? When that guy left or when you said you needed her for homework?"

I rub the side of my head she hit.

"The homework?"

"BAM! Then it's obviously reason two! She was expecting more than just homework, she was probably hoping you were asking her on a date"

I look at Aunt Susan shocked and confused. Jessica was hoping for a date?

"But..."

"Don't 'But' the love doctor child. It's a good thing I'm moving back because you obviously need help in this department" She gets up and starts walking to the door.

"W...Wait where are you going?"

"To bed pumpkin. I got the information I wanted. If you need me to give you advice on your dense problem, then you know where to find me" She smiles and heads out of the room.

I'm just left sitting on my bed confused, excited, nervous, and a whole lot of other emotions. If what Aunt Susan said is true, then... I might have a bigger chance than I thought, which brings a smile to my face. And if that's true, I should really try to step up my game.
