Alex POV — 1600 words, sassy tone with a touch of vulnerability
Okay, fine. I was lying to Raven. But come on, it was a tiny white lie. A harmless little omission. I told her it was an experiment, and hey, that wasn't technically a lie, right? I just didn't tell her the entire story of my little experiment. Because, well, I had my own reasons, and they were complicated—too complicated for me to just throw out there, especially when Raven was so... Raven about everything. I mean, I had to protect myself too, didn't I?
But I did tell her it was an experiment, which was true. What I didn't tell her was that I was seriously curious. Like, dangerously curious. Because if I was being totally honest with myself—something I didn't do nearly enough—I wanted to know. I wanted to know if I kissed Raven, would I feel the exact same way I felt when Xavier kissed me? Only then would I know if I was actually bisexual—or if it was just some weird, complicated mess in my head.
