Carly hated the feeling she was feeling right now. At this point, she was overthinking everything and was extremely paranoid for nothing. She hated how she kept thinking about Paxton and Devi. she didn't realize someone like her build ever get with someone like Paxton.


She was nothing compared to Carly.


Carly Tan was popular. She could get any guy at this school but yet Paxton chose Devi over her? But then again the girl wasn't 100% sure the boy went out on a date with the sophomore. But she had a very very strong feeling.


Carly was walking down the hallway trying to find classroom 302, where the robotic team meets. EJ didn't show up to class because a competition he had for the robotics team so the girl decided to give him the assignments he missed.


She finally found the classroom and was about to walk in before she heard, "I'm gay." She gasped, not realizing it was loud enough for the girl to hear her.


The girl's eyes widened. "Oh my god. I didn't realize anyone was here. I---."


"No I'm sorry. I was just trying to find EJ to give this to him but. Um... I didn't mean to..."


"No I'm sorry. I---."


Both of them didn't know what to say. It was just an awkward situation. Fabiola wasn't expecting to come out to a junior.


"Fabiola right?" Carly said, taking a seat next to the girl.


"Yeah. How did you know?"


"EJ always talks about you being a kickass engineer. Got a bright future ahead of you." Fabiola chuckled, slightly happy the robotics team caption thinks of her like that. "Listen. I'm not gonna tell anyone. Ok. This is your secret to tell and I just wanted to let you know if you ever want to talk about it with anyone, I'm here for you."


Fabiola smiled. "Thanks Carly. You really are like everyone says you are."


"What?"


"Smart. Nice. Caring." Carly chuckled. "But thank you. I appreciate it. I haven't really told anyone yet because it's even hard for me fully realize it."


Carly nodded. "And that's ok. My cousin took 5 years to figure out he would rather be shopping with me than playing video games with my brother. And after he came out, he's completely happy now. Married to a British guy, having the time of his life traveling around the world. Take all the time you need."


Fabiola smiled, realizing Devi was right. She could see her and Carly being good friends too.


"Am I interrupting something?" EJ said, coming into the room.


"Yup." Carly joked. "Fab was just telling me how much shit you're making her do. C'mon EJ. Just admit she's a better engineer than you."


Fabiola laughed. "That was not what we were talking about."


EJ rolled his eyes. "I don't even wanna know. But she's right. You are a better engineer than me. Always will be."


"Thanks." Fabiola said.


"Now that's out of the way, here's what you missed. Teach says it's due by class tomorrow. And no I will not give you mine for you to copy. Gotta go. Practice starts in 10. Bye. Love you both." Carly said, running out of the classroom.


EJ chuckled at the girl. "You like her don't you?" He turned to Fabiola.


"What? No." EJ denied. 


"Whatever you say."
