Amber Tears Excerpt -Coin Flip

Rosabella flipped a coin. She took a deep breath. She looked at the coin flat on the table.

It was tails.

Rosabella smiled as she lightly kicked her get under the table.

"What are you flipping coins for?" Allisen mused as she sat down in front of her.

"Oh just a bit of decision making," Rosabella cursed herself for blushing. She wished her hair was down so she could hide it.

"Uh-huh," Allisen nodded. Allisen wore a hijab with a Hawaiian flower print on it. It was a beautiful bright blue color that drew attention to it. She wore a thin long sleeve shirt with a purple donkey on it, a pair of blue jeans, and black tennis shoes. Allisen smiled almost smugly, "Well I hope the answer you get is yes."

"What do you mean?" Rosabella leaned Away from the table. She tapped her fingers on the seat.

"I'm not blind," Allisen teased, "You're going to ask to be an item right?"

"No!" Rosabella yelled too loudly. Her face turned a bright red as she bit her lower lip. "I was just going to ask her to the dance."

Allisen sighed. "You're little outings are cute and all. But it's obvious they're dates. Just behind a couple already."

Rosabella looked down as she rubbed her hands together. "I don't know..."

Allisen leaned in close. Rosabella looked up to find her a mere inch from her face. "What is it going to take for one of you to ask?"

Rosabella gulped. Allisen had no clue what she was asking her to do. Rosabella had never dated before. It scared her. Plus what I'd she ruined her friendship. She lucked out with Genie still wanting to be friends after she found out she was a banshee.

"Hey!" She waved at them. "What's with the serious air around you two?"

Rosabella gave a nervous laugh as she looked away. She didn't want to look Genie in the eye. She was too anxious.

"Oh that..." Allisen drew out the last word. She stood up rapidly. "Let's go to the library."

the two girls followed her into the library. Or was practically empty. She walked into the section of encyclopedias. No one ever really ventured into this section. She made the two girls sit down. She smiled as she placed a hand under their chins and made them face each other. "Now talk." With that she walked away. Leaving the two alone. Though they knew she wasn't far.

"Talk about what?" Genie arched an eye brow. Was it about a banshee thing? Did Allisem find out that Rosabella was a banshee? So many questions piped into her head.

Rosabella licked her lips before taking a deep breath. She fiddled with her fingers as she stumbled over her words. "I was just... Wondering if... If you wanted... Uh..." Rosabella clenched her teeth as she clapped her hands together. She grabbed ahold of Genie's hand. "Do you want to be an item with me?"

Genie tilted her head. Item? What did that mean? Was it some term banshees used?

Rosabella gasped. "I mean like a pair. You and me with promise rings and hand holding. And maybe in a
