You and Emily have been friends since the start of the school year at Roundview. You met her amongst other people including her twin sister Katie. And although they're identical, you quickly noticed how different they were. Katie was confident and brazen while Emily was shy and often referred to as the doormat of the pair. Despite everyones attention being drawn to Katie, yours focused in on Emily.
You had a few classes together and you took them as oppurtunities to get to know her better. Within the first few weeks of school she was already warmed up to you and asking you to hangout. The two of you would hangout with your friend group together on the weekends and hangout alone after school everyday during the week.
You both stuck by each other through thick and thin during the first year at Roundview and come the second you were inseparable. You did everything together from shopping to studying to simply lounging around and blabbering for hours.
It's a Friday night and Emily invited you over like usual. Her parents went out for a date night, her brother James was at a friends, and Katie was at some big party down the street which left the house all to yourselves. When you got there she greeted you excitedly and ushered you inside.
The two of you laid on her floor talking for a while while listening to music. You talked about nothing and everything like you always did on nights like these. The topic somehow made its way to Emilys sexuality. Everyone at Roundview knows that Emily is gay. She had a short lived relationship with Naomi, a girl in your friend group.
As the you listen to her speak you can't help your gaze from flitting over her features. From the rise of her chest to the curve of her lips. When she turned her head to look at you, you felt an unfamilar heat pooling in your stomach and you looked away.
"Have you ever thought about.. experimenting with other girls?" She asks after a short silence.
"I'm straight." You clarify, feeling the need to.
"I know." She mutters and you nod slowly.
