It's only been a couple of weeks since Ghaille and Naomi became official but everybody seemed to already know that they're an item. Matter of fact, even the media got hold of the information with another of the Pendleton sisters being gay. So, the news of Ghaille having a girlfriend left all her suitors -men or women- heartbroken.

Though with all the ruckus, the couple didn't mind it at all, or don't know what is happening yet. They've only told their family and close friends, but now everyone knows. Ghaille is walking to her class and she couldn't help but hear murmurs from the people in the hallway. For her it's no big deal, but she is the one they are talking about, she just doesn't know it.

Walking in the classroom, everyone started making giddy and silly noises making Ghaille look at them questioningly. She met Naomi's gaze and saw the girl blushing because of the silly banters. Ignoring the rest of the class she approached the girl and gave her a quick side hug and a kiss on the head then sat next to her making the class erupt even louder.

Everyone was surprised on what Ghaille just did because just last month they were fighting non-stop but now they're all lovey-dovey with each other. "Ghaille and Naomi seating on a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G" Miah teased the couple making Naomi turn redder.

"Alright class. Settle down" said the man who just came in the room. During class, even thought Ghaille was showing this cool and collected demeanour, deep inside her she too was a bit uncomfortable making her unable to concentrate in class. And with this girl seating next to her, it wasn't helping "Miss Pendleton" the man said trying to get Ghaille's attention.

"S-sir" Ghaille replied finally out of her thoughts

"Can you please pay attention?" he asked

"Y-yes, sir. Sorry" Ghaille replied and composed herself back as the discussion continued.

This is the first in ages that Naomi saw Ghaille not paying attention in class, giving the girls' hand a comforting squeeze she mouthed "are you ok?"

Ghaille replied with a smile. Lunch time came and they went to the back garden to eat instead of the canteen knowing that all eyes will be on them. Ghaille used to spend her lunch hour at the library or the student council room doing more productive work.

Joining the others, she laid out a platters of food, there's spaghetti, lasagne, burgers, fries, drinks. Everyone on the group is in shock "did you leave some food for the other students?" Faye asked "are you trying to feed a small town?"

Ghaille turned to Naomi "is it too much?" she asked.

The girl smiled at the girls' innocence "it's fine. Come sit" she patted the space next to her

Ghaille sat next to her girlfriend rubbing the back of her neck "This is my first time doing something for someone special other than my family so..." she replied innocently

"That. Is. The. Cutest. Thing. Ever" Rhett told Ghaille

After school, like she always does, Ghaille drives Naomi home. They're at the driveway when they hear someone calling Ghaille "Ghailley!" they turned to the person and saw Naomi's mom.

"I can't believe she still remembers that nickname" she told the girl in front of her then with a smile she turned to the woman approaching them "Mrs. Greyson, hi!" Ghaille greeted the woman with a hug.

"Still polite as always" the woman replied "drop the formalities and just call me Lydia. Since you and my Emi are now dating, you're basically family" Lydia winked making her daughter roll her eyes. She then turned to Ghaille again "are you joining us for dinner?"

"Uhm..." Ghaille turned to the woman beside her for answers but Naomi just shrugged "I..."

"I'm pretty sure your parents will understand you spending time with your in-laws" Lydia teased

"Mom" Naomi stopped her mother

"What? I was only joking" she replied then turned to Ghaille again "or am I?"

Ghaille just smiled "uhm... yeah sure" she told the woman "it's been ages since I tasted your cooking" Inside, Ghaille wondered her eyes on the familiar house. Last time she came here was when they told Naomi's parents about them, but she never really stayed that long "it's still the same since the last time I came here" she told Naomi. Lydia is now in the kitchen cooking a feast.

"The last time I think was on my tenth birthday?" Naomi replied making Ghaille smile

"Yeah, I remember. I didn't wanna come because it was princess themed and when there's a princess, there are miniature horses" Ghaille replied while looking at the pictures above the fireplace.

"Do you still hate horses?" Naomi asked

Ghaille turned to the girl "No not anymore. I actually grew up loving them" she replied "like the princess" she booped the girls' nose smiling. Naomi trying to hide her blush wrapped her arms around the girls' waist then buried her face on Ghaille's neck. They stayed like that for a moment then Naomi looked up at the taller girl meeting her brown eyes "what?" Ghaille asked confusedly.

Naomi was about to reply but Lydia called them "let's go?" Naomi invited, then held the girls' hand leading them to the kitchen.

During dinner, Frank, Naomi's dad joined them. He just came home from work. While they were eating they were talking about random things "So, Ghaille what are you planning on doing after college?" Frank asked

"Med school sir" Ghaille replied "then residency and my licence"

"He means with our daughter, what are your plans after college with her?" Lydia teased.

"Uhm..." Ghaille stuttered

"Mom!" Naomi told her mom

"I was only joking dear" Lydia replied then turned to Ghaille "that's great to hear then. It's very nice to hear that our little Emi is in good hands" Ghaille smiled

"How about you, Naomi?" Frank asked his daughter.

"Same, dad" the girl replied "med school then residency" she turned to Ghaille "Your mom actually contacted me if I was interested doing at Crofts"

"She did?" Ghaille asked, Naomi nodded "that's great!"

After dinner, Ghaille made her way home. She was texting Naomi telling her she got home already when she saw Alex and Brix in the living room talking about something while Jaime is no where to be found. Probably with Claire again. She went upstairs plopping on her bed when her phone pinged. She sat back up, eyes wide when she saw the email. It was her grade tracker. She just received her first ever C
