The superhero

Emmy sighed as Mr. Evens went on and on about Romeo and Juliet. Normally she loved Shakespeare, but she always thought that Romeo and Juliet was a little overrated. She looked over at Meryl, who was looking down into the book, blushing. Emmy sighed. Meryl was hiding something, she just knew. But then again, why should Emmy question her. It wasn't like she had never hidden anything for Meryl. She had in fact hidden two things for her over the years, through she knew one of the now. Emmy smiled thinking back to that day..

It was the summer before tenth grade. Emmy, Meryl and their good friend Annie, was hanging out on beach. While Annie went to the bathroom, Meryl was taking this as a sign, as the perfect time to ask Emmy about something. 

"Emmy?" she said, and took a deep breath, knowing this could change their friendship. "Emmy, are you gay?" Emmy looked at her in surprise.

"How did you know?" she whispered. Meryl took a deep breath.

"I had a hunch about it, but it wasn't until you turned Peter down I was sure of it." Peter was a senior at that time, and in a lot of peoples opinion, one of the hottest guy in the school.

"Yes, I am gay, but please don't tell anyone." Emmy told her.

"Of course. i won't tell anybody. I  promise" She said and Emmy relaxed.

"Thank you."

Two months later Meryl help Emmy out, and Emmys life had been almost perfect, almost.

The second secret, the one that Meryl didn't know, was the deepest of the all. She was a mysterious Superhero, since December last year. She had, for fun, brought some spandex and was walking around town, with a cape and a mask, when suddenly she heard someone scream, and everyone, including herself, ran to where the scream came from. It turned out to be an old lady that was being hold back, while her granddaughter was being attacked. Emmy didn't know why she did what she did, she ran and jumped on the attackers back and held in a choke hold until he passed out, then she ran. The next day there was a article about a mysterious hero. Emmy continued to save people, and when they asked who she was she you said B. I know that's lame, but it caught on. Since then she had been know as B, the lilac dressed hero. Emmy snorted at that title, and in the corner of her eye she could she Meryls eyes on her, Emmy smiled to her, and this time she smiled back. Good. 

The clock rang, and most of the class jumped, startled. 

"Emmy" A voice said, and Emmy turned to see Annie come up to her.

"Do you want to hang out." She said. Emmy hesitated, and looked towards Meryl, who was looking at her, with hopeful, (and sad) eyes. She turned back to Annie

"No" Annie's face fell. "I'm sorry, but I already promised to hang out with Meryl. Maybe another day."

"Okay." Annie nodded her eyes cold, and turned away from her.

Emmy sighed, and went to talk with Meryl, who was playing with her hair.

Running up to her, she yelled.

"Why don't cut you hair, if the bothers you that much?" Meryl jumped hadn't heard her come running.

"Jesus, Emmy. Do you have to that?!" she said angrily. Emmy just smiled.

"So why don't you? I know you would look fabulous with short hair."

"My parents, they will hate me if I do." Emmy frowned.

"So what?! You are not happy with your hair, do you want to let your parents stand in the way. I'll come with you, I know someone, she is amazing." Emmy said and held her hand out for her to take, and her smile grew when she grabbed it.

"Let's do it." Meryl said with a big grin.
