It was Fate

Same Old Day

Alexxa's POV

As I sweat under my blankets in my dimly lit room, I intently stare at my phone screen display of the San Antonio Texas Pride Parade advertisement. A tear trickles down my cheek as I shut off my phone and roll over to go to bed. Someday, I thought as I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up the next morning to the blaring sound of my alarm clock. I slump out of my warm bed and hop into the shower. Sleepily, I finish my shower and pull on my North Lockhart High uniform. I run downstairs to quickly say good morning to my mom and grab a protein bar to eat on the bus. I grab my bags and head out the door and wait for my bus to arrive. Once it arrives, I board the bus and found one of my best friends, Claire Reid. Claire is a flamboyant, opinionated red head, we met when we were in 6th grade in the same Math class.
"Mornin" I mutter as I shuffle onto the seat and unwrap my protein bar.
"What's up, girl" She says tiredly.
I reply with the typical, "That homework assignment killed me last night bro"
"For real! I was up until like 2 in the morning" Claire exclaimed.
The rest of the ride to school consisted of regular small talk and me taking a little nap. We arrived at the infamous school, North Lockhart High. Home of the Falcons and the drug addicts, and the know-it-alls, and the weird kids, the whole enchilada. Claire and I saunter inside and into the main cafeteria to meet with Taylor Moran and Lydia Scott, the other half to our friend group. We sit down and they begin their usual gossip babbling about "Omg did you see what she posted" or "I saw what she wore to that party, wow" and "Can I borrow your lip gloss, I wanna look hot for him today", that last one made me shiver. Normally I don't pay much attention to their mindless conversations, but lately i've been so peeved by them.
Their babbling slowly faded in my mind as I remember what I was doing last night, looking at the San Antonio Pride Parade. I thought about how liberating it would be to one day be open about who I am and my sexuality. I've only recently became more okay with my liking of girls and now I just can't get it out of my head.
"So are you up for it?" a voice echoed
"Yo! 'Lex!" Taylor yelled, snapping me back into reality. "Huh? What?" I said.
"Do you want to go to the party tonight?" Lydia said slowly.
"I heard Weston was going to be there Alex!" Claire said. The girls have been trying to set me up with Weston Keels for a couple of weeks now, however they don't know that I'm not into guys.
"Uh yea, sounds good." I mindlessly answered. What did I just get myself into.
"Great!" Lydia and Claire said.
The rest of the day passed by so slowly. I couldn't bare the 6 periods of stupid busy work shoved in my face by my annoying teachers. Then after school, girls wanted to get ready for the party at my house and what was I supposed to do? I couldn't just say no.
I did not want to go to this damn party.

Hi guys! This is my first story, but I'm trying really hard for it to be good! Let me know your thoughts on the first chapter! And what do you think will happen at the party??
