Summary
Marlene was walking around the grounds with her arms looped through Lily’s and Alice’s. The two girls were laughing at something funny that had happened in herbology that day, throwing their heads back as their giggles filled the air. Marlene stood between them, her heart racing just a little bit as she stared at two of her best friends, a secret on the tip of her tongue that she desperately wanted to say out loud.
I’m gay.
She wondered what would happen if she said it. Would they just keep laughing like nothing happened? Would they unhook their arms from hers and leave her behind? Would they accept her?
“What do you think, Marls?” Alice said, bringing her out of her reverie.
“Huh?”
“About the quidditch game coming up. You’re on the team. You think we have a shot against Slytherin?”
Alice and Lily looked at her expectantly. She swallowed, her secret being pushed to the side, and smiled.
“Definitely.”
