A woman in her late teens - named Victoria Dawson - is squirming in her bed, unable to sleep. Tomorrow is the exam day and it consists of all the subjects she hates in high school. Luckily it’s her third and final year there, but it also means more exams. It isn’t helping anything that Victoria has a secret. Well, it has nothing to do with her panties, it’s not that kind of Victoria’s Secret. Thought, it might actually have something to do with her underwear, or at least she hopes so. See, Victoria’s in love. Twice. She has met the person she loves many years ago. Her love is slightly older than she is and a quiet and pretty girl. She met her when she entered junior high. She has not had the courage to tell her about her feelings, although they have been friends for many years now. She adores this person and currently agonizes over a decision to come out to her. Yes, Victoria is gay. And she’s in love with her friend of many years, Emilia Mayflower.
But then a few months ago, Victoria met another person and slowly fell in love with them. Now she’s conflicted between the two of them. She genuinely loves both persons from the bottom of her heart. She knows she has to make a decision between those to and the longer she puts it away, the harder it will be. Tomorrow, Victoria thinks, tomorrow I will tell Emi I love her. Or not. Or I’ll confess to… her. My other love. I don’t know what to do! She puts her hand under her pillow and burrows inside the blankets. Nobody Victoria knows, outside of her one cousin who lives abroad, that she’s gay. Her cousin found out a few years ago and confronted Victoria, who broke down and came out to her. Her cousin was supportive though, and promised not to tell a soul. Thus far they have kept the promise and nobody else in her family knows about her secret.
Victoria heads to school in the morning. She meets her classmates, and one in particular, a girl named Aimee. Aimee has been Victoria’s best friend since they’ve been five or so. They both run in the athletics club and both are competitive swimmers at summers. They’ve spent many an hour together at various places of the country, and indeed world. Still, Aimee doesn’t know Victoria’s Secret. Well she knows the shop, but this is not about that. "Amy," Victoria calls out when she sees her. "Amy I have something to tell you, that.. that you don’t know." Aimee looks at Victoria and scrunches her eyebrows together. "Wha? Vic what’s up? You seem very anxious?" She says and touches Victoria’s shoulder. "That’s because I am" Victoria answers, "very anxious. Come, let’s go to the back yard, I don’t want spying eyes or ears."
Victoria makes her way to the bushes and ends up in the small, almost hidden back yard, followed closely by Aimee. Victoria sits on an old bench that’s been there for years and sighs deeply. Aimee walks in front of her and looks at her. "Ok, Vic. Spit it out, you’re weirding me out." She says and puts her hands on her hips. Victoria raises her eyes to meet hers and swallows. "Amy, I’m gay." She says. Aimee looks at her, looks around as to look for something. Then giggles and return to look at Victoria. "THAT had you so anxious, Vic? Like I didn’t fucking know. Vic you’re gayer than a flannel shirt on a buzz-cut woman with a pride pin on her chest." She says and relaxes. "That sounds pretty gay" Victoria says and manages a small laugh. "You’ve known?" She asks Aimee. "Yeah, for years. Vic you didn’t care a damn when the boys’ swimming club had an outing right under out noses, but you lost your shit Jessica stripped in the middle of the room at the summer camp…" Aimee says and smiles. "So, is that all, or do you have any actual news?" Victoria swallows and smiles. "Well, yeah. I’m in love." She says and giggles nervously. Aimee’s pupils get larger and her mouth hangs open for a second "Alright. yeah, uh. whoa. Yeah, you did have news that I was not aware of. Whoa. Who? For how long?" She stammers out.
Victoria stands up and fiddles with her sleeves slightly. "Well.. that’s the problem. See.. I have fallen in love with a girl…" she lets the sentence trail out. "…aaannd," Aimee says. "I can here the ‘but…’ coming from a mile away." Victoria smiles at her and continues "… and another one." She grins nervously. "What." Aimee blurts out. "Yeah. I’m in love with two persons at the same time. And the other one barely knows I exists, and the other one is aware that I have some feelings towards them. Neither knows I’m so deep in love for them I’m gonna drown in my own tears." Victoria explains while tugging on her sleeves. "Alright Vic, let’s hear specifics. I can’t help you if I don’t know shit." Aimee says and sits down. "I guess we’re skipping classes today, there’s no way you can function in a lesson today, and I’m dying to know who has been able to catch you so unawares that you’ve fallen for them."
Victoria draws a deep breath and starts. "Alright. My first love is a girl you’ve heard about, but you don’t know. Her name’s Emilia. Emilia Mayflower. I met her when I entered junior high and she caught my eye big time. She’s two years older than me, but.. Amy she’s so cute I can’t. She makes The Best faces when she’s flustered and her laugh is so awesome. " Victoria smiles as she talks. "Alright, small break here. Please don’t devolve into gushing about your loves too much, I know you adore them, but I’m still as straight as my fucking eyeliner, and you know how important that is for me." Aimee says and smiles. "And yeah, I know Mayflower. I think I’ve visited her once or twice with you. At least one time when you played that weird game where everyone just talks bullshit for hours and nothing happens. And I ate her chicken and fell asleep on her bathroom floor because I was drunk." Victoria laughs out aloud "Yeah, exactly that Mayflower. I’ve known her a couple of years now and I love her so much, I… " Aimee taps Victoria on her shoulder. "So, the next one. I’ll tell you my opinion once I know who the other one is." Victoria grimaces and looks at Aimee "Ok, so.. the other one is a person I met online a few months ago…"152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKVn4VFAji
