malakia and valentina had always been very close since they were very young. even if they were different, they complimented eachother. no one did best friends like mal and val. they had sleepovers 24/7, and they did all the normal girl stuff, like karaoke, and giggling, and practicing kissing on each other, giggling like idiots once they fell back onto the bed. malakia was ridiculously in love with valentina. she didn't ever say it out loud, or write it in her diary or anything, but it was definitely there. and she knew the best when val was hugging some guy and she wanted to hurt him. she had soft eyes and knew malakia better than she knew herself, and for some reason, that was enough, even without everything else she had to offer. and valentina had no idea. but malakia was her soulmate. she couldnt live without her. that's why she was over all the time. but then malakia had to stop coming over so much cause her mom said she needed to spend more time with her new siblings. which pissed her off. on top of everything else. and then there was the shift freshman year. valentina became more distant. louder. like a caricature of herself, and it was weird. and they stopped talking often. and then came valentinas 14th birthday party. malakia was slightly surprised she was still invited. it was a pool party thing, then a sleepover. and its ingrained into both of their brains to this day, even though they hope the other has forgotten. valentina and malakia saw each other in the hallway, and malakia told her about the swimsuit that she bought, and then valentina dropped the bomb. that malakia couldn't come because amber told valentina that she felt uncomfortable with a lesbian at a pool party. and so she uninvited her because valentina was so weirdly obsessed with that stupid amber girl. and so malakia called her a not so nice word, and valentina called her the word back, and valentina told everyone malakia was gay, and malakia was bullied, and they didnt speak again until they saw eachother on wawanakwa. (idk where to go from here, we'll continue once we add on)
