Can't Sleep Teaser

It was midnight, and no sounds could be made almost everyone was already asleep because it was a school day and they had to be up early for classes, but Lizzie wasn't she has been having problems lately with her room being empty since Josie went to move into Penelope's old dorm. She opened her eyes and sighed, letting out a deep breath and grabbed her phone from the nightstand. When she clicked it on, she was glad that she had night mode enabled because the light would blind her.

After about an hour of watching ancient vines, she decided to go on a random chat app so she could talk to some other people. The app lets you write a specific tag, and it would match you with someone with common interests. She looked at the tag bar and had no idea what to write maybe LGBTQ so she can talk to some other people that are going through what she is, or perhaps some coming out stories to motivate her to come out. But she shook the thought out of her head and had an idea. She started typing and press search.

One minute then two now five no matches. Lizzie didn't know what she thought who else would have this app and search for Salvatore School. As she was started to give up and began to close her eyes, she heard a ding and looked at the phone, but was disappointed it was just an amber alert. She set the phone down again when it made another ding, and this time, it came from the app.

She quickly looked up at the match, and it said anon girl 16. No one's names were shown it was all anonymous so you could talk about anything and not be judged. Hope was the other girl on the other end Lizzie's mortal enemy turned friend.

she didn't know what to type as she put her fingers on the keyboard, she saw that the girl was typing as well, so Lizzie quickly typed "hi😊"

Hope quickly typed back "Hi, I didn't expect anyone else to be on this app in our school and on at this time and search for the same thing I guess I was wrong lol."

Lizzie quickly read the message making sure to read every word and excitedly typed "I know right all I wanted was to talk to someone about how I should come out, but then decided to search the school's name instead to see if anyone else had this app.

Hope couldn't help but smile she was in the same boat " I also don't know how to come out I am always looking at YouTube videos I even asked Josie how she did it and I tried not being too obvious why I wanted to know just for curiosity."

Lizzie was happy to know that she knew this girl but didn't know her at the same time, "I know how Josie came out." Lizzie regretted typing those words out because she was afraid that the other person on the chat would find out it's her, so she quickly typed out "what I meant was I asked her too."

Hope didn't know the reason for the other girl to correct herself but ignored it "I am gay, but I dated guys so people wouldn't find out how about you?"

Lizzie smiled she was happy there was another girl just like her that was just afraid of coming out "I am gay as well, and I know that my family will accept me, but I am scared how the school would react to it and how they would treat me after I come out because I don't want to be judged or bullied.

Hope felt like she needed to protect this random girl that she just met on an app, "I swear to god if anyone bullied you, I would kill them without even flinching."

Lizzie started blushing "aww that's so cute, but you don't know who I am and if you find out you probably stay away from me; "I am labeled the crazy one at the Salvatore school." As she pressed send, she knew she messed up. She hit the block bubble, hoping that the girl on the other side didn't see the message.

Hope read the message already before the user disappeared, and all the words were deleted. Now she knew who it was, and wanted to keep talking to her, but now she couldn't. That's when an idea came into her head it would out her to Lizzie, but it was only fair now that she knew about her. She went over to her text messages and picked Lizzies contact and typed "Hey Lizzie I know why you blocked me, but I would never out you I wouldn't want anyone to do it to me so if you want to talk I am always here."

Lizzie put her phone down, expecting the worse outcome in the morning that she would be outed in front of everyone. She hit her head on the pillow and a tear fell from Lizzie's eyes finally she found someone like her and messed it all up and now doesn't have anyone to talk to again.

She heard a notification on her phone and expected it to be someone outing her. She picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Hope, so she quickly opened it maybe something was wrong or another monster.

She read the message over and over, making sure that she was reading it correctly. Lizzie always had a crush on Hope, but she only ever dated guys, so she assumed she was straight. She was going to type back, but now that she knew who it was, she decided that she would talk to her face to face.

Lizzie put on her slippers on and started walking over to Hopes room. While looking down at her phone and not paying attention to anyone or anything in front of her. So, when she bumped into someone, she almost screamed when she felt a hand over her mouth and saw Hope. Lizzie's mussels relaxed immediately, but her heart was racing.
