Katie smiled and nodded at the curious eyes peeking out from the slats of wood as she passed them, knowing that her blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair complexion got the locals excited.

Wwww.onedoor.cce’ve been friends for so long, and I know that she will always be there for me. “I’m bisexual,” I finally said. She looked at me, trying to suppress her smile. She gave up quickly and pulled me in for a hug. “I’m glad you told me,” she said. “I will always support you. You are my best friend, no matter what.” “Thanks,” I replied, glad to finally get my secret out in the open. After a few seconds, we pulled away from each other, smiling. She gave me a look that I couldn’t read. Usua...SLJone door
