Marcella was quite drunk, as she staggered across the playground.  It had been a pretty dumb idea to walk instead of taking a taxi. It was dark and she couldn't see much, so she was utterly suprised when she suddenly stumbled over someone's feet. 

Marcella would have fallen when the person she bumped into, hadn't caught her. For a moment she felt totally relaxed, laying in their arms. Then she realized, who was holding her. 

It was Faye, one of her best friends, who also happened to be her crush. "Are you ok Ella?" , Faye asked, while pulling Marcella up.  Marcella blushed and answered:"Yeah, I'm ... good" , she looked up to the sky, "The stars... the stars are so fucking amazing!" When she had ended Faye took her hand and they sat down a bench. 

"Look Ella there's your zodiac sign, Leo and there's mine, Libra", Faye whispered, pointing in the sky. Marcella nodded and lay her head on Faye's shoulder. 

Together they looked at the nightsky, Faye whispering explanations about the constellations and their stories. Marcella enjoyed Faye's presence, her calming, rough voice and her warm shoulder. She felt completely peacefully.

Suddenly a thought came to her mind, and drunk as she was she spoke it out loud: "Fairy girl,d...do you ever won... wonder how strange love is?" "Well... yeah kind of, I mean it really is kind of strange and sometimes I just wonder what the fuck my heart does...", Faye whispered."Yeah and also I...I only seem to fall for girls I could never ever reach" "Oh come on rebel girl, your freaking amazing, I'm sure there are a lot of girls who would like to be with you"

"But if so, why... why  am I still unkissed at fuckin sixteen !?No one w..." Marcella was interrupted by Faye's lips, softly pressed against hers. Marcella's heart pounded as if she'd just sprinted a hundred meters.

"I guess now you have been kissed", Faye said. „Di...did you really mean it? I mean... the kiss?" Marcella asked, uncommonly shy for her standards. "Dam Ella I've wanted to kiss you since you came in our class. And now I think it's better if we both go home and get some sleep. We write geography on Tuesday and as I know you, you haven't learned for it yet."

"Yes Miss Granger", Marcella saluted. After they had done their usual handshake, they both walked home, where they quickly fell asleep.
