She Gets the Flowers

☘︎︎1

"Drink! Drink! Drink!" the crowd cheered.

To who, I wondered as I came from the back with Mia, my crush. "I'll be back." I watched Mia's luscious lips move as she spoke. Her perfectly straight teeth and exceptional smile wins my heart every time.

As I started to respond, I was roughly pulled away from Mia. I groaned in annoyance when I recognized it was my best friend, Alyna pulling me away.

"What were you two doing? You weren't fucking were you? You know there's rumors about her and her genitals." Alyna's face had worried written all over it. I rolled my eyes before frowning at her statement.

"And you know the people who made those rumors about her are jealous of her. Even if she does have something, we didn't do anything so I'm free of it!" I shouted over the loud music. Alyna gave me a look of disbelief.

"What?" I questioned. "I feel like you're lying and if I find out you're lying, it's gonna be you and me." Alyna attempted to threaten me. "Okay, whatever." I chuckled.

Alyna was like a mother and best friend in one. Sometimes it was fine and others...not so much. But Alyna's been there for me since our late elementary days, so of course I loved her.

We were at our high school graduation party, that was obviously planned by students.

"Anyways, let's go dance!" Alyna smiled as she pulled me by my arm into the crowd. The dim lights slowly changing different colors went with the vibe of the current song playing, Streets by Doja Cat.

Alyna's backside was against my front as we slowly dance and grind against each other.

The two of us dancing together soon turned into a line of girls slowly dancing on each other. Many people and flashlights from phones were on us. There were crowds of people watching us. Of course the majority of them were guys, who already had sexual fantasies of girl on girl action. Pervs.

Our spotlight was stolen as people quickly left us, giving their attention to others. "Uh, don't look." Alyna grabbed my face and turned it to look at her. "Why not?" I laughed, confused.

No more words left Alyna's mouth as she frowned. I turned towards the crowd, confused on what exactly I was looking at.

Finally it became clear. I felt my heart break as I seen Mia tongue kissing another girl. She sat in a chair while gripping the other girls ass, who was straddling her. She slowly grind on Mia.

Multiple guys cheered them on but immediately I wanted to go cry. I knew she wasn't my girlfriend but I thought I had a chance. She's flirted with me for the past month or two. I just thought she liked me back.

Why doesn't she like me? What did she have that I didn't? Why am I never good enough? This was all I could asked myself as I held my tears back.

I was usually confident within myself, but situations like these sometimes made me question...

"I'm sorry." Alyna mouth. "You don't want her anyways. Take it as a blessing." Alyna attempted to cheer me up. Soon the rest of her words faded into the background along with the music.

I ran as fast as I could out of the house party. I didn't want to be followed. I just wanted to be left alone to myself. I walked and walked. I ignored all of Alyna's calls and messages.

Eventually, I could no longer control my thoughts. Many memories of the way people treated me played in my head over and over again. There weren't many rejections I faced, only because I often kept my crushes a secret. Alyna always knew, but no one else.
