“Uhh, Cedar?”
When Cedar turned around to face the other girl, Faybelle had a very wide, almost comical grimace. “Yeah, Faybelle? What is it?” Clearly there was something wrong, because normally Faybelle looked, well, normal.
“You’re growing a, uhh… daisy.”
“A daisy? Where?” Cedar spun around in a quick circle, but she couldn’t see anything. “Are you sure?”
“Uhh yeah. It’s right here.” Faybelle poked Cedar right in between her shoulder blades. “Is that like normal?”
“Oh totally.” Cedar clapped her hands together, unable to contain her excitement. “My dad told me all about it. Sometimes he grows flowers, or moss. And sometimes he attracts wild animals, like woodpeckers or bees. Faybelle this is so exciting! My first flower! Even though i can’t really see it- murph mph mrph.”
Faybelle’s finger caught her right on her lips. She wasn’t really one for rambling. “Should we cut it?”
Cedar ripped Faybelle’s hand away. “Cut it? No! We should celebrate it! Come on, let’s go tell my dad!”
She was several steps away before she realized that Faybelle was not in tow as she’d hoped. “I don’t know, Cedar. Your dad doesn’t know that we’re a thing, I don’t wanna make things awkward. You should just go on your own.”
“Uh uh, no way.” Cedar grabbed Faybelle’s hand firmly, smiling at her. “There’s no better time to tell him than now. And I promise he won’t be weird about it. Okay?”
She could see the shift on Faybelle’s face. The small smile that the other girl got when she thought no one could see it. “Alright, fine. But we’re never telling my mom. Got it?”
Cedar decided it was best to keep her mouth shut about that. She didn’t know what the future would bring after all. Buuut, she had already pretty much decided that telling Faybelle’s mom was inevitable. After all, if she wanted to have a future with the other girl, there was no point in having a foundation built on lies.
