I'm Not Who Everyone Thinks I Am

07.

Madison Johnson.
A nice, normal name for a nice, normal girl.

She's my best friend.
I think.

Sometimes at school, she leaves me to hang out with the more popular girls.
But she always comes back apologizing.
And I always forgive her.


Once, at her house, she told me she loved me.
I love you too.

But not like that!
She giggled, tossing her hair.
I didn't mean it like that either.
Just as a friend.


Who am I kidding?
I don't love her.
I am in love with her.


But she would never go for someone like me.

She's not like me.

I am a lesbian.
