As Holly entered her house she was greeted by her parents praying. This wasn't an unusual thing as her house was full of crosses and scenery of Jesus, even when it wasn't Christmas. Her house smelt like old flowers, like an old grandma's house. Holly ran up to her room, she didn't want to talk to her parents. She was sad, angry and confused. She slammed her door shut and cried into her pillow. "Why did she do that?" She thought to herself. "Did they figure out im gay?"
"What if they hate me?" So many thoughts ran through her head as she cried, soaking her cotton pillow with wet tears. No matter how hard she tried all she could think of was Kassies soft skin as she held her hand. The way her cold rings felt as their hands locked. Kassie was all she could think about. Holly looked at her phone, there was a message.
Kassie: I had a great time tonight, we should hang out more... just me and you? ;)
Holly frowned, Kassie keeps sending mixed messages. Surely Kassies not gay? All she talks about is boys, Josh, boys and more Josh. She decided to message Kassie back.
Holly: What the hell was tonight?
Kassie: What do you mean?
Holly: You held my hand!? You must've known that would piss Josh off, especially since you kept shrugging him off all night.
Kassie: It was all just a bit of fun. It's not like you're gay.
Holly: haha yeah... but still, Josh is now pissed at me. He called me 'Holly'
Kassie: He's just mad I like you more than I like him.
That sentence spiralled into her head. "I like you more than him." But she couldn't let herself fall for this again. Kassie is bored and just wants to screw around. She did this last year, it still didn't mean it didn't hurt. Everytime Kassie kissed Josh, or held his hand her heart broke more and more.
Holly: yeah... I guess. Please just don't do that. You could give off the wrong message.
Kassie: ugh fine. You're no fun. I'll tell Josh to lay off, cya tomorrow! :)
And with that Holly went back into deep thought. Kassie was just using her to anger Josh. Right? Surely she couldn't actually like Holly...
