"It isn't that I'm shy," Katherine replied finding that a little amusing. Did she come off as shy? She didn't feel shy. She actually loved talking to people. She used to love giving people hugs, but that was a lot more difficult now than it used to be. "It's just," she tried to start but finding it difficult to get the mental image of Alicia wearing the skimpy outfit out of her head.
She turned to face Alicia with the intention of telling her exactly what it was. "There's just this whole thing with me," she told her, "I mean I didn't even think I liked girls like that till recently." She was babbling. Why did she always do this? "It's probably Sarah's fault. She's gay, and with the accident I kinda think I don't know what I think really." The fingers of her hand were playing with the straw of her milkshake as she tried to formulate words, yet only seemed to succeed in vomiting them.
