Chapter 1
hey, I’m Ivy and this is my last year of high school. I hope this makes things easier for you guys because the first thing you need to know is that I am a lesbian and have no intention of marrying or dating a guy again, I am currently in the process of moving away and going to Arizona next month with my dad in the hopes that I can make some new friends before school starts. I also hope that when we get out there it won’t be too bad. That means lots of people will talk to me and I’ll finally get to meet some cool people at the start of the year. My best friend, who is named Willow, is here with me and she’s pretty cool. Her family lives in Colorado Springs where I live till I move and we’ve been best friends forever, ever since we were kids.
The only issue is that willows family never really liked me they’re all a little homophobic, and I don’t understand why. I mean, yeah, some people might say that it would suck if some kids had different genders, but it’s not like it should matter to anybody! They shouldn’t care about whether or not some girls want a boyfriend or girlfriend they just shouldn’t care that much about anything about me. And I think the fact that I don’t like men should be enough reason to make them accept me as who I am! So why are they still being homophobic? It hurts my feelings, honestly. but ill start my story now :) “Hey, how come none of your Tiktok have me in them?” Willow asks, walking up to me at lunch after class.” no reason I guess I never post” I said ” then let’s make one now your moving next month I want as much time to hang out as possible” I grinned at her.” sure” I said she grinned back at me before pulling her phone out. she quickly started typing and soon sent it to the group chat she always has with us.
“Hey, guys what are yall doing I want to hang out after school. what do you think”? willow said “Will, stop I can’t hang out I have to pack,” I said, see I’ve called Willow Will ever since she came out to me as non-binary but her parents don’t know anyway “TO BAD I want to hang out with the squad and the squad is not the squad without you,” willow said “but the squad isn’t the squad without Adrian so,” I said Adrian is my ex-boyfriend we were the perfect couple until I broke his heart by telling him I like only girls. she’s right tho I haven’t really hung out with the squad since the breakup. we’ve texted every now and then but it was always awkward because I knew he didn’t like talking to or about me anymore. I know because he decided to make his own group chat after he realized he hated me but till wanted his friends in the squad he still made me feel bad.
“well then let’s go make something awesome fun shall we?” willow asked “yeah, sounds good to me, but I'll take your car,” I said. We went into the cafeteria to grab food for everyone before going outside to sit in willows car waiting. I sat in the driver’s seat when Adrian entered “hey...” I said looking away from the window. “hey” he replied “can I sit in the passenger seat while we drive to get food?” he asked. I thought for a second then nodded. After getting in the car he sat next to me and put his arm around me. I was surprised at first but then slowly put my hand on top of his moved hs hand I stopped at a parking lot when Adrian says “can we pull over” “Okay,” I reply as we pulled up to a parking lot. After pulling into a spot I turned to face him and looked at him. His hazel eyes met mine. I could feel myself blush slightly. He leaned closer and kissed my cheek. He quickly backed away, “I’m sorry did that make you uncomfortable,” he started
apologizing but I cut him off “it’s okay it was just unexpected I told you I only like girls,” I said trying to hide the fact that I still miss him. He smiled “it was really cute though... if you don’t mind that is.” he asked. We both started blushing again and he looked down “I’m sorry... it won’t happen again I promise” he said smiling I start pulling out of the parking lot and to the address willow give me.
