Eleanor and Maria
Eleanor and Maria have been best friends since they were 3.
They have grown up together for years.
They have had experiences together such as having their period, changing the way they dress, having a crush on someone. And they start to feel a warm feeling called love.
Maria has a crush on Greyson, a guy from her school.
"He's so handsome, El. He's also smart. Oh my God! His hair, his face, his eyes, everything about him is just perfect. You should meet him one day." said Maria happily to Eleanor, describing the love of her life.
"Oh, El. He, even, asked me out. And I said yes! I'm so happy!" Maria continued her long story about Greyson.
Eleanor listened to Maria quietly. She did not say anything, but she just smiled. She got hurt in her heart, it could be seen through her eyes. The way she behaved showed that she liked Maria.
Time goes by. Eleanor, finally, started to be brave to tell Maria about her feeling.
"Maria. I-I love you." said Eleanor with shaky voice.
"Aww. I love you too, sweetheart." Maria replied cheerfully and she hugged Eleanor tightly.
Eleanor grabbed Maria's hands and looked into her eyes.
"No, Maria. I love you not as a best friend. I LOVE you." Eleanor stressed the L word.
Maria smiled.
"No, El. You can't. I'm a girl, you are a girl. A girl is not supposed to fall in love with a girl. God makes human in pair, a man and a woman, a girl and a boy. Like Greyson and I."
Eleanor just chuckled
"Let us just break the rules then! You should break up with Greyson. And date me instead. I know you love me too. I know we are meant to be together. And I have known that I am fated to love you."
"Eleanor, my dear. I love you. I really do. But I can only love you as my dearest friend. I'm sorry." said Maria with a sad face.
Again, Eleanor chuckled at Maria's words.
"So it's true. Fate really works in a strange way." said Eleanor with blurry eyes.
