Note: To keep this confidential, I will NOT use anyone's real names, I'll just number them or give them a random nickname. Just to be clear, there is nothing wrong with not being straight (or even being straight). I am cool with stuff like that. I'm not a grumpy old hater or bigot.
When I was in middle school (I meant secondary school, of course) aged 13, there were like 4 classmates who were CONVINCED that I was secretly either bi or gay. That wasn't and is not true at all! I was 13 and I didn't really care about anything relationship related. I literally did not give a shit! I ONLY cared about MYSELF. I cared about my hobbies, reading books from the library and watching anime on the school computers (I got caught and sent out multiple times for this, oops!)
I had a best friend and we would always be together and I felt like she was my long lost sister or something. At the time, we had similar interests and music taste (my music taste has changed a lot since then!) and we would always hang out.
Yes, we would occasionally link arms whilst walking together, laugh about something funny we saw on the internet and even hug each other at times but I don't know why some people found that sus. We were just close friends.
So about four classmates started observing us.
One of them even asked my best friend what she thought about me and she casually said this:
"She's my best friend ever!"
I was quite happy when she said this actually because that was exactly what I thought of her.
Another time, they noticed that we were both wearing daisy chains.
We literally just made them for each other because we looked at the field and thought, 'Oh that would be fun to make and pretty to wear.'
But they just had to over-analyze this simple gesture that we made each other for the sake of friendship (not anything else!)
So they started whispering about us and one of them told the other that they shipped me and my friend together.
I overheard and I was so surprised at how they could think that!
So one of them, let's call her T. So T showed me a bunch of pictures she had on her phone of boys that she thought were hot and told me what I thought.
I couldn't care less and I hated lying so I told her that I found them all average looking (so as not to be too harsh and offend her). She shook her head. Well I'm sorry Justin Bieber was never that attractive looking to me in my opinion (no hate to Justin though). Nor, countless other so-called 'hot' celebrities.
I think that probably just confirmed her suspicions, lmao!
One of them, let's say Z actually had the courage to ask me if I liked girls.
Me and my stupid brain felt very pressured and had to blurt this out,
"Nobody can be 100% straight, statistically speaking. There is no certainty especially with such abstract things like that. Perhaps I could be 98% straight and maybe encounter a girl and get feelings for her then that would probably make me 2% gay, who knows? But I don't fancy her, she's my best friend..." I went on and on, not specifically answering her question
She just said ok and then left.
I think I confused her even more.
I was just thinking--> I don't bloody know who I fancy, just leave me alone!
