"Um...there's something I need to say to you." I said. Colton was looking at us and I waved him away. "Shut. Up!"

"You're cute when you're mad." Art said, and I nearly choked on my own saliva.

"I'm sorry, what?" I said.

"Yeah. Edie, you're cute. I hope you don't mind that I'm calling you Edie." Art said. I started blushing at the nickname. And since I'm pale, it's pretty obvious when I'm blushing. I've gotten told that my cheeks turn as red as a tomato sometimes.

"W-what? I'm c-cute?" I said, hoping it didn't sound like I was fishing for compliments or something stupid like that. God, I hoped I didn't sound arrogant or narcissistic in front of my crush.

"Well, yeah. Nearly everything about you. That adorable accent, that sprinkle of freckles that are on your nose, your hair color, your eyes...I could go on and on." Art said.

Should I confess my feelings? Should I confess? Should I confess?

I'm going to confess. Let's hope it sounds smooth and not super awkward.

"Well...um...I could go on and on...about you. Like, I love your glasses. And how you always put your hair in space buns and nothing else. And all your paint-splattered shirts and jeans. And the fact that you bite your lip and giggle a bit when someone compliments you, like now! And now! And now! Like how when you walked up to present in English class last week, you gave Vance this tiny wave that no one saw but I think me and her. And uh...yeah that's it, I'm a lesbian and have a massive crush on you..."

"Will you date me?" Art and I said at the same time. And that feeling, it felt like magic. It felt like happiness, but more than happiness.

"Ben's gonna kill you!" Colton said in a sing-song voice from the table.

"Oh my God, will you shut up please! You're up to bowl anyway and our hour's ticking down faster than my racing heart!"

"EDISON RUTH FRASER HAS ACQUIRED A SIGNIFICANT OTHER!" Colton announced.

"WAIT WHO!" Kaliko screamed.

"Is it that boy who winked at you in the school parking lot when I came to pick you up the other day?" America said.

Nichole stayed silent with a smirk on her face. "I know."

All eyes turned to Nichole.

"Well, is it that boy that America was talking about?"

"No! Well, I think Edison should have the floor now." Nichole said.

"Haha, Superstore pun, very funny." Ben said.

"That wasn't intended."

I smiled a slight half-smile and spoke.

"Hi. So um...I think you guys all deserve to know that...I'm a lesbian. And the significant other is my girlfriend, Art. Ben, I think you know her. She's that purple-haired kid that I ran up to on the first day of school."

Ben did not look amused.

"Oh? The purple haired kid...is that the same kid that decided to climb a tree after school last Friday?"

I nodded slowly.

"The same kid who walked out of school with a yellow slip that I think signifies a detention?"

"Yeah?"

Ben sucked his teeth. "I don't know...Edison. I mean, I'm so happy for you, just don't surround yourself with the wrong people."

That's when I felt myself getting hot.

"YOU GUYS ARE NO HELP!" I lashed out before walking away.

AN: Welp, this was supposed to be fluff. Guess that's out the window. Also, on a more serious note, this book was the book that was leaked on NovelHD.com. I'm still deciding to keep going with it, but just know that if you're reading this on any website other than Wattpad, it means my story has been leaked and stolen. This goes for all my books. Hope you enjoyed! Catch ya later!
