"You like her, don't you?" Alice asked suddenly once we were out of eye shot of the others, who had gone their own separate ways.

"What?" I asked, taken aback.
How did she find out? I guess I could have been obvious, especially with my staring at lunch, but if I was this obvious, anyone could figure it out, even my parents, or Naomi. I don't want to think about either of those possibilities.

"You like Naomi, don't you?"

"Well of course I do, she's my friend."

"You know that's not what I meant. I meant that you like her romantically, you have a crush on her." she explained. It was more of a statement than a question.

"No. Why would you ask?"
Maybe if i just play it off she won't know?

"I mean it's written all over your face, the way you act around her and talk to her. You always look longingly at her. I catch you staring at her and pay a little more attention to her when she talks than everyone else. You always blush when she's near you or hugs you, and today during lunch you where staring at her before we snapped you out of it."

I sigh defeated,"Okay, so maybe I like her. Is it really that obvious?"

"Only because i'm observant. Naomi is oblivious to stuff like that, so don't worry, I don't think she'll find out yet. Do you plan on telling her?" 

I can't tell her. She most likely doesn't like me back, and it'll ruin our friendship. She'll probably laugh in my face and ask how stupid I am, or hate me for being bisexual.

"No, she most likely doesn't like me anyway, so what's the point?"

I doubt she's stupid enough to like me, she's smart.

"Well I still think you should, I mean it doesn't seem like it's a small crush, does it?"

There's so many ways it can go if I tell her about my feel, that aren't going away soon. I mean she could reject me or laugh at me and ruin are friendship. Or she could be homophobic and be disgusted by me. There are too many things that could go wrong.

"No it doesn't, but what if I tell her and it makes it weird because she doesn't fell the same and I ruin our friendship? I mean, I don't even know if she swings that way! Or if she's even accepting!"

"Well then start by telling her your sexuality first. Then you can go from there. Or just ask her opinion on gay rights." Alice suggests.

I guess that could diminish some things that could go wrong but even if i come out, she might be homophobic or start to treat me differently. I just what to be treated like normal human being, because that's all I am. I'm a human that likes girls and guys. Why is that so wrong?

We don't speak until we arrive at our locker and start to get our stuff for next class.

"I mean I guess, yeah. That could work."

"If you don't tell her soon she'll eventually find someone else. It'll be too late."
I go silent.

I haven't even thought about that, she could find someone else if i don't tell her.

"Think about it." Alice says and walk off to her next class.
