Texts with Deja on the bus

Deja: you remember what I told you in the library?

Alicia: wanting to turn people to stone?

Deja: kinda. What I said about not wanting to have sex

Alicia: yeah

Deja: I’m pretty sure it’s not because I’m not ready. I think it’s because I’m something else.

Alicia: like what?

Deja: I googled asexual and I think that’s me. do you think that’s weird?

Alicia: being asexual?

Deja: yeah

Alicia: do *you* think it’s weird?

Deja: no.

Alicia: then no

Deja: I still like boys. I still love boys.

Alicia: you just don’t want to have sex with them

Deja: right

Deja: so that’s it? I’m just…asexual

Alicia: I mean, Ace sounds really cool tbh
