---------------------------------------------
I'm Celie. Celie Butelli. I'm Italian, if you couldn't already tell. I'm 5'6, tan skin, long, wavy, light brown hair with platinum blonde highlights. My hair falls down to the spot just above my butt. I have full, pink lips and a petite, round nose. I have a curvy shape. I guess you could say I'm in shape. I have a mixture of eye colors. They're hazel, green, blue, and gray all mixed into one. I have a tattoo on my wrist that reads, "LOVE" and I have two cartilage piercings along with my two earlobe piercings on both ears.
My best friend is a lesbian. She used to like me..BIG TIME. Always following me, trying to grab me, looking at me in the locker room showers..if you know what I mean. Then one day when she was asking me out I just gave in and said yes. We met each other at the movies and had so much fun that she realized she didn't like me like that anymore. We became best friends. Her name is Lennox and she is amazing.
•••
"We should go!" Lennox screamed.
"No! You know I'm not lesbian," I yell back to her.
"Go for me!"
"N. O."
"We are no longer best friends," Lennox said to me with a sad face.
"LENNOX."
"CELIE." She stands there and stares me down.
"FINE," I say. I can never say no to her..not usually.
Your probably wondering what we are talking about going to. It's some dance for gays at a theater in downtown Los Angles that closed down a few months ago because everyone went to the other theater. They removed the chairs and they decided to host the dance there.
"I'll go," I say. "But what are we gonna wear, smart one?"
"Let's go shopping."
We put on shoes and go out to my car. When we get to the mall, we run to every store that we love (which is like all of them!). We find the exact dresses we wanted. And for a frickin' steal. I got strapless, bronze mermaid covered in lace that stops at my mid thigh. Lennox got a dark blue princess that stops at her mid thigh. Her's starts puffing up right at her abdomen.
"Ok," I say. "The dance starts in two hours. Let's get back home and get ready."
"Ok. Let's-
"Wait! What about shoes?" Lennox ask.
"I have some at home that'll be good for both of us," I say.
We head home and get dressed. I curl my hair and Lennox straightens hers. I put on black heels and I gave Lennox blue ones. My mon said we looked beautiful, but you know moms.
•••
"I changed my mind. I don't wanna go in there!" yelled Lennox.
"Why not?" I ask. "I bought a new frickin' dress, curled my hair, put on make up, and gave you some of my best heels and now here we are, looking all awesome, and you wanna go back? Oh, HELL TO THE NO. I didn't wanna come in the first place and you made me come so now, you are gonna get your scrawny ass in there an get your lesbian on!"
I grab her arm and pull inside while she screams for me to let her go. When I finally get her in there, we both stop. The theater is decked out in blue and green balloons. There are streams everywhere. The lights are dimmed and the place is crowded. There's a DJ and a bar.
"This place looks awesome," Lennox says.
"I know," I say. "So do you wanna go to the bar first or-"
I turn to look at Lennox, but she's gone. I guess I'm on my own, I think to myself. I walk over to the bar and sit down. I pull out my phone. I go to my contacts and scroll down to "Lennox". I click on "Send Message" and start typing:
Heyy. Where are you?
Before I can get to "are", I close out the text and turn off my screen. I shouldn't bother her, I think to myself. She's here to have fun. I should try to do the same. Before I can put my phone away, a girl with long, dirty blonde hair and big, hazel eyes comes up to me. She has a round face with full, pink lips. Their in the shape of a perfect kiss mark. She glances over at me and smiles.
"Hi," she says.
"Hi," I say back.
She turns and is facing me now.
"What's your name?" she says in a sort of seductive voice.
"Celie!" I yell over the music.
"Well, Celie," she says. "I'm Tatum. Wanna dance?"
"Well, heres the thing. I'm not lesbian. I jut came here with a lesbian friend."
She just sits for a second.
"It wouldn't hurt to dance, would it?" she asks with a smile.
I sigh. "I guess not."
•••
She kept wrapping her arms around my waist and just holding me. At one time, she got in really close and almost kissed me. I pulled away quickly. When we were done dancing, we went to sit back at the bar.
"You sure know how to have fun," I say.
"Thanks," Tatum says. "You know," she flips her hair seductively, "you're fucking gorgeous. And you look VERY good in that dress."
"Thanks," I say.
She's wearing a dark purple, strapless mermaid almost exactly like mine. She has on black heels to match.
"How old are you?" she asks me.
"Seventeen. You?"
"Same," she says with a smile.
Lennox walks up behind me and yells, "HEYY!"
She has a tall, ginger on her arm. She has a curvy, slim body frame and is absolutely gorgeous. She has mesmerizing blue eyes and a blinding white smile.
"Whose your friend?" I ask.
"This is Mylee," she says with a smile.
"Hi!" Mylee yells.
"Hi," I say. "Lennox, Mylee, this is Tatum."
"Hi, Tatum," Mylee and Lennox say simultaneously.
"Ummm..Celie? Can I talk to you for a second?" Lennox asks.
"Uhh..sure," I say.
Lennox pulls me to the side.
"OMG! DO YOU LIKE HER?!"
"Dang, Lennox. Chill. And you know I'm not lesbian," I say.
"Do you like her or not?!"
"No," I say blankly.
"Sure.."
We walk back over. I sit down by Tatum.
"Well," says Lennox. "We're gonna go back over there. See y'all later!"
They walk away.
"Soo," I say. "How come I never see you around?"
"I just moved here."
"Where from?" I ask.
"Spain."
"What the fuck, seriously?"
"Yeah," she says with a chuckle. "Do you like that?" she asks seductively. She's leaning in now.
"You could say that. But not enough to do anything about it."
She sits back and sighs.
"Why are you fighting it so much?" she asks with a sad voice.
"I'm not lesbian."
"Fine," she says. "I'll see you around, ok?"
She gets up.
"Wait!"
She turns around.
"Look. I'm sorry, ok. I'll give it a shot."
She chuckles and gives a slight smile.
"I knew you couldn't resist."
She leans forward and kisses me. Right on the lips. At first, I am disgusted. Then, as she keeps kissing me and our tongues touch, I start to like it. Her lips are sweet. It's different from kissing a guy. It's..better. Much better. She pulls away.
"Why'd you stop?!" I scream at her.
"See? I knew you liked it."
