& they were all yellow

I guess Emmeline doesn't know I'm bisexual.

She came out by admitting it to someone. Poor thing. We need to help them. Get the two of them together and ask them to really talk about it.

I can imagine Vanessa is very hurt.

-MICA

[Gabriella Rivera]

You are? I didn't know that, either! That means you like girls and boys, right?

I dunno if that would really help, though. Them taking, I mean. I love Emmeline to bits, but sometimes she can say the wrong thing or something and then Vanessa might get even more hurt and it might make things worse.

She is.

[Michaela Petrova]

Yes I can fall in love with someone of either gender. It's been much easier for me to accept it than it is for Vanessa because my mother is also attracted to girls. It's nice to have someone there for you.

You're probably right about that. Ex on that idea. Okay, do you have any ideas?

I've never really gotten through to people when they feel that way.

-MICA

[Gabriella Rivera]

Oh! Well, that's cool! Yeah, it's good to have someone understand when you're a little different.

Umm. Well, I've been trying to talk to Emmeline about it and stuff, trying to get her comfortable with the idea. Do you think you can just...talk to Vanessa? I guess that means she'll have to know you kno,w, but it's just that I'm really not good with the talking thing, and I know you just said that you're never gotten through with people like that, but you're much smarter than me and more articulate and I figured since you guys are such good friends maybe you talking to her would work better than if I were to do it?

[Michaela Petrova]

Sorry, I meant that I have never gotten through to people who are nervous around those who are homosexual. I've never spoken with someone who wasn't sure about their sexuality, but I can try. It could make her feel like she wasn't alone.

I'll be ballsy and approach her with it, maybe in the common room soon.

Soon they'll remember why their friendship is so important babes, have faith.

-MICA

[Gabriella Rivera]

Ohhh, okay. Well, I've never tried that. Maybe I can ask Lyle for advice or something...I dunno. I think she'll come around eventually, though! I mean, her cou one of her other good friends is also a homosexual, so I don't know. We'll see, I guess! I can only hope!

Thanks, Mica, I'm so glad to have someone else to hep me with this! I don't want their friendship to be ruined.

[Michaela Petrova]

Maybe you just need to....remind Emmeline that Vanessa is a human first and foremost? People get caught up in the labels and forget the person behind them. You definitely need to do it because you're so close to Emme and I might go postal.

I'm glad you told me. It would be terrible if they let this get in between them. Friendship is one of the most important elements in life. Who are you without it, right?

-MICA

[Gabriella Rivera]

Okay, that sounds like a good plan! I'll tell her that! And I just need to keep reminding her that nothing's changed and that Vanessa's preferance has nothing to do with who she is and what she's like and that she's still the same sweet, adorable and loyal person she's always been.

Yeah, exactly!

[Michaela Petrova]

Perfect. I can't wait for cheer practice to go back to normal again. All the strange silences and awkward stares have made me glum. It's also good to finally know why Vanessa is upset.

And what about you, are you doing okay?

-MICA

[Gabriella Rivera]

I know, right?! And Vanessa's one of our best dancers, but she's been all upset and not performing as well, and yeah, it's tense and awkward and bleh I just want it to go back to the way it was.

Me? Oh, I'm doing fine, yeah! Great, actually! Thanks for asking! And you, how are you? I feel like we haven't properly talked in ages!

[Michaela Petrova]

Cheerleading has no flavor when the members aren't cheery. We need to reconcile them not just for their sakes, or our sakes, but for the sake of the entire Hufflepuff house.

Good that makes me happy. Nothing else concerning my Gabriella? I know I'm sorry. You know me - practice practice practice. I almost have this piano piece mastered now.

-MICA

[Gabriella Rivera]

Yeah, wouldn't be cheerleading without cheer! And, um, yes, very true!

Nope, nothing! Well, I have a boyfriend now! I can't remember if I told you or if you found out, but...yeah xD And aww, really, there's nothing else going on? Noooooooothing at all? No boy for Mica? Or girl? ;D

And by the way, I've always wanted to hear you play, so if you ever want an audience, I'll be more than happy to be it!

[Michaela Petrova]

I so did not hear this. Who are you dating? Are they good enough for you? He must be Some kind of guy to be with the gorgeous Gabby. And no, it's really nothing. Cal and I never dated after Family Fright Fest because we're friends and we basically had a silent agreement it would be weird. The only other guy is also a friend and I don't want to go there. So.. I'm a free bird!

I'd love that. There's a piano in one of the empty classrooms I get to practice in so I'll take you with me sometime. Hopefully I don't bore you.

[Gabriella Rivera]

Jayden Flynn! He's in the year older than us, but he's in our house! You might know him. He's awesome! He's super sweet, and he's a great guitar player. You guys would probably have a lot in common, since you're both musicians! Aww, well, who's this other guy? Jayden and I are friends, but we still got together sort o and so were Gideon and Emmeline!

Oh, I'm sure you won't! I just know that whatever you play will be absolutely hermosa!

[Michaela Petrova]

Right Jayden I know him. He has this real artsy vibe going on. I automatically approve if he plays the guitar. Aw I'm so happy you found a good boy! You need to introduce us sometime just so I can be sure.

But when you break up it's like.....

Oh, it's Tristan We've been friends since the first year.

You're a sweetie.
