The ACE of gays
A short story by cole Scott
I was just starting junior year at my high school; I had known these people for two long years, but what had felt like a eternity .
As I walked in the doors of the dreaded place, as I looked around I saw my friends Anthony and Lawrence waiting for me. They were waiting by the water fountain mostly because of what I had saw all the seats had been taken.
I immediately noticed that Anthony had gotten taller and you could see his big muscles almost popping out of his long sleeve shirt, while Lawrence had stayed the same and looked like he was trying a new style of no sleeve shirts. As I walked up to them I could see Anthony started flexing but I pretended not to notice.
The way they looked at me, it was different then the past year it was as if they… no not for me, not for the girl who still has glasses and wears sweaters, and besides the fact they would be dissapointed because sex freaks me out, I haven’t told them that though… Lawrences voice had gotten deeper too. It freaked me out a little.
They showed me their class schedule and we had 2 classes together, it was english and history class.
So the bell rang and we all went to class as we went to class Anthony told me I looked nice and that we should go out after school while he asked I heard Lawrence utter a quote from grease
“somethings changing yeah Theresa something blowing in the wind”
As he thought I didn’t he him I, I muttered back the words yeah you. And he just looked me dead in the eyes and he just winked at me. I should’ve seen it coming.
So all throughout the day all I could think about was how I might tell Anthony I was asexual and how he would react to it.
By the time I was done getting ready I noticed he was parked outside, do I grabbed my purse and headed out still not sure of how I was going to break the news to him.
So we went to some fancy sushi restaurant called Pisces I got the crunchy roll and he got the avacado tuna roll. As we neared running out of food he said
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. …... so can I hold you?
I said sure and leaned in for a kiss he placed his nice plump lips on my lips and reed for three seconds of akward and regret. The moment he pulled away he looked like a dear in the headlight, I asked him what was wrong and he just sat the and what came out of his mouth was….I ..I I think I’m.. I think I’m gay olivia, so I looked at him and said I was asexual and we kind of laughed it out.
The next day at school Anthony and me had a huge secret that he just couldn’t keep from Lawrence, so Anthony pulled Lawrence into the bathroom stall and told him and from what I heard from eve’s dropping was I think I heard them kiss.
Ever since Anthony and Lawrence are dating and I got a new cat.
