Besties.
That's what everyone at your small institute called you. Everyone knew each other, because you studied and lived in a small town on the outskirts of the state.
You and Ada have been friends for quite a long time. You met in the first grade, and almost never broke up. Many were jealous of your friendship, and many wanted to break you up.
But no one knew your dirty little secret. You have been together for two years of studying at the university. Not as best friends, but as two people in love with each other. But in public, you tried to behave as before, so that no one would suspect anything.
"We're best friends.." Ada spoke softly almost into your lips, pressing you around the corner of one of the corridors. She was grinning, watching your reaction.
