And They Met...

Schools have cliques, a lot of different cliques, and the same goes for Ledbury Borough High School. One clique was a group of eight girls, no labels, but they were all friends-and mind you, they were beautiful. Beauty is seen in different ways and each girl was differently beautiful and they all got attention. They acted like a normal group of girls, giggling, walking, flirting with boys, writing notes, sleeping over each others houses, what all girls tend to do. However this clique was different, because one of them had a deep secret...
It was in the afternoon of that fateful Wednesday in fourth hour Computer Application class. Delaine Baron was staring blankly at her computer chewing on the end of her pen cap, while next to her Camille Rodriguez-one of her closest friends- was busily typing away at ‘Word’ trying to finish an assignment. Delaine looked at her digital computer clock, only five minutes into class and she was already bored. Just as she opened up ‘Word’ the door opened, and pushing it open was a short girl, probably around five foot, three. She had black hair pulled back into a messy pony, with bangs swiping in her face covering her right eye. Her eyes were beautiful, a mystical hazel that complemented her full lips. She walked over to the teacher Mrs. Willard and handed her and orange sheet, as she did this her bracelets jingled against her studded belt. Mrs. Willard initialed the paper and handed it back, gesturing for her to take a seat anywhere. “Who is that?” Delaine asked, Camille didn’t pay much attention but the question registered in her mind a few seconds later. “I think her name is Evelyne or something like that.” Delaine kept chewing her pen as she watched the new girl go and sit by Claudia Valance. Delaine’s eyes grew, “Cammy, look at that!” Camille turned and saw too, “New girl’s hanging out with the resident lesbo.. Well that’s a disappointment.” Delaine knew she wasn’t being serious, but for the rest of the day something was off about Delaine, and everyone could tell.
Delaine got home and went for the computer, no one was home, and no one ever was, but that was the way she liked it. The humming of the computer made her feel better about the whole day. She singed onto AIM and got an buddy invite right away from April. She accepted and then signed on to Myspace. She checked the room every couple of minutes, pretty much nothing interesting to her, so she browsed. White, females, within 5mi, bi or lesbian, in high school. Search. Only one full page worth of results because in Culim Fields, there weren’t very many bisexuals or lesbians at all. The ones that were, weren’t very liked and neither were the people who liked them. She found her, 2nd row, 3rd person over. NapkinxNinja, was her display name with a bandana over half of the bottom of her face. She clicked the picture and her page popped up.
About Me: My name is Evangeline Evans and I just transferred to Ledbury Borough High, and moved to Culim Fields. It sucks here and I used to live in Vegas, the Mecca of culture! I’m a Junior and I hate your face.
Delaine laughed to herself and read the rest of her profile, even noticed Claudia was in her Top 8, along with other people she guessed lived in Vegas. An IM popped up from April, Hello? Are you gonna talk in there or what? Delaine clicked back and saw what the recent conversation was about, Evangeline. She didn’t know how long they had been talking about her but she didn’t like it. 1

(Sarah) PellyBoo89: I have second hour with her and she sits and draws all hour, its like she doesn’t want to talk to anyone.
(Maggie) DarlingDisaster: I don’t care what she does in class, I just don’t want her coming near me with all that lesbian nasty bullshit!
(Kaitlin) K-fu dawg: yeah if she ever hit on me I’d scream rape and run!
(Stephanie) stephxcore: c’mon you guys...
Delaine thought a sigh of relief to herself
(Sarah) PellyBoo89: Steph are you saying that you wouldnt do anything if she was hitting on you??
(Stephanie) stephxcore: who says she’s gonna hit on us anyway? Has she even paid attention to any of you?
(Angelina) empty_bliss: I have gym with her and she just stares at the floor so I don’t have a problem really
(Camille) MexiCammy: she hasn’t paid attention to me either but that doesnt mean she wont.. I’m gonna try and stay as far away from her as possible!
(April) ApeCCConga: you gonna join the convo Delaine?
(Sarah) PellyBoo89: Yah you there Lainey?
Then Delaine panicked, and lied.
(Delaine) EtheralShame: she looks like an ugly dyke.
The girls all laughed pretty much and Delaine gave a [brb] and ignored the chat. She decided to go to mysecretlife.com, her journal site and write until she couldn’t handle it. Mysecretlife.com was a great site, you had a username, but that is all people got to know about you. Delaine loved that. She loved it since her first entry (which got her multiple friends). The entry was only four words long, but Delaine felt years of pressure and stress lift away a little after she typed them and pressed post.
“I AM A LESBIAN.”2
