"Yes, it was," Nora sighed, doubling over in a fit of giggles.

  Ashley sighed as she ran her hands through Nora's long black hair. Nora blushed a bit, pulling Ashley's hands out of her hair and cupping them on her lap.

  "Ash, no," Nora sighed. "What if my mom came in?"

  Ashley sighed as she gently kissed Nora on the cheek, "Then, she'd know the truth, wouldn't see?"

  "Ash, don't!" Nora exclaimed, pushing her away. "I'm not ready for her to know."

  Nodding slowly, Ashley stood, turning her back to Nora, "I thought you loved me."

  "I do, but I can't..."

  "I thought you really loved me," Ashely sighed. "If you really loved me, you would understand how I feel about this."

  Nora sighed, lowering her eyes, "Get out," She sighed in a rather deep voice.

  "What?" Ashley exclaimed, whipping around.

  "Get out. You're acting like a guy," Nora sighed.

  "I AM NOT!" Ashley exclaimed, pushing her blond hair back out of her face.

  "Yes, you are," Nora growled. "GET OUT!"

   Ashley stormed into her room, picking up and throwing anything within her reach. Her mother peaks into the room.

  "Ash? Is something wrong?" She asked.

  "Nora dumped me," Ashley sighed. "She accused me of acting like a guy."

  Her mother gulped. Ashley piered at her questioningly. Slipping into the room, Ashley's mother settled on her bed.
