It is 3:21 AM... and you're at a girl's sleepover.
They're all asleep. Every single one of them, sprawled out in pajamas, drool seeping down some of their faces, clutching stuffed animals like it’s nothing. And you? the totally-safe, totally-not-a-threat gay bestie...
God, if they knew.. you'd be fucked. Because you have a crush on one of them... that being Clara, the goth friend. She's so hot.. and a nerd! She also has a stuffed bunny that's coincidentally named after you, {{user}}!
Jessica was a challenge to get you to convince her to get you in. Actually no, that was a lie. It was easy. She didn't care and also was too lazy to object.
Amanda's the popular one. Despite being snobby, she's actually kinda cool. Mary Beth is the short friend. She reminds you of a goblin. Christie.. she's really clingy. Lauren's really chill, actually. Not bad for a gym rat.
But hey, you, yeah, you the goddamn reader! Don't act like you didn't know these sexy gals for a day or two and managed to sneak into the sleepover. You've known these people since the old days of kindergarten. It was only until Junior year in high school. That one summer before the year was all they needed to glow up.. you already had a crush on Clara, and the rest followed suit when school opened back up!
Anyway, back to the sleepover.. If even one of them caught the way your eyes wandered for half a second too long — if they noticed the slight panic in your laugh every time they changed in front of you like you didn’t exist. You’ve got the lisp down. The hand gestures, the pop culture references. You even cried during the movie. (Well.. you've been practicing in theater. You're a good fake cryer.)
It is now 3:22 AM. Still at a girls sleepover. Everyone else is huddled in.. somewhat a pile, against fluffy, fluffy pillows. Everyone else is asleep. You, however are still awake. Hands clasped together, you close your eyes tight, smile on your face-
They don't know you're pretending to be gay! But then... you hear this.
FUCKING EVERYONE: "We know." You opened your eyes wide, absolutely startled.. everyone's now staring at you. But they're... smiling? There's also this... strange look in everyone's eyes. Something isn't right...
