It was finally the day of our One Month Anniversary. The past few days I was scrambling to find the perfect gift, so I turned to one of my most reliable sources: Google. I looked up what to get someone as a gift for one month. There were a lot of stupid results, some plausible ideas and some people that said that I shouldn’t really get him anything. That wasn’t the case. I wanted to get him something. I had to. I mean, he was getting me something. Then again, it was just our one month. It didn’t have to be super big and we could just spend the day together and hang or something. The only problem with that is that we have been doing that almost every day for the past month.
Yeah, I still haven’t seen much of my friends. Amy still takes me to school every morning, but we don’t really talk much. I feel bad. I feel really bad. It is just really hard to talk to Alec about. I don’t think that he would be mad especially since he and his best friend haven’t been able to spend that much time together either. My friends were always there for me. They saved me from ruining what I have now with Alec. I am forever grateful to them. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to tell Alec that I wanted to spend more time with my friends. As long as he doesn’t bring up my parents.
Yes, again, I haven’t told them yet. I’m not ready to move out yet. That is one of my biggest arguments. Like I said before, I would be kicked out. That happens in every single ‘coming out to parents’ case. It never ends in the kid’s favor. I have no doubt that it will end the same for me, maybe even worse. Why couldn’t I just be straight until I move out; then once I am gone I will be gay. That was the original plan. That had now changed because Alec came into my life. I never knew that my life would change so quickly and an openly gay, gorgeous, blonde new kid would turn things upside down. He wanted me to tell my parents and I did not want to. I never thought that I actually would have to. I just thought that after I moved out then they would just forget about me and deal with their own problems and I could live my own life and they live theirs.
I stopped thinking about it. It wasn’t important right now. Amy and I had just arrived at school. Once she exited the car, she didn’t wait for me. I had to carry my present and school bag to class. I was still a little weary about what I got him. I had some flowers that Ollie was generous enough to give to me from his shop. He actually offered to give me every single flower in the shop because that was what the lord wanted, but I declined. I figured he would have been fired right after that. It still is a wonder why he hadn’t been fired already. Anyways, I also got him a bear. Yeah, a little teddy bear. Too cheesy?
I walked into class with my hands full. Steve gave me a glare and I just smiled. I saw Amy trying not to make eye contact with me. Skyler smiled and waved to me. I sat down next to her. It felt amazing to set all of that stuff down. I looked over to Amy who was looking the other way. I slunk back in my chair and focused on the door waiting for Alec.
“So I heard that it was your anniversary today,” Skyler tried to make conversation.
“Yeah,” I said still looking at the door.
“That’s so cool. One month,” she continued.
“I know.”
“What did you get him?”
I finally realized that she wouldn’t quit pestering me so I scooted the bag over to her and opened it for her to see. She looked inside and giggled.
“What? What’s so funny?” I interrogated.
“Nothing. It’s so adorable. Did you get these flowers from Ollie’s shop?” she replied.
“Yea-“
“Happy Anniversary!” I heard a screech from the door. My head quickly turned to the front of the class. Alec had entered and his hands were empty. The only bag he had was his schoolbag and I didn’t think you could fit a present in there. I couldn’t, my flowers would have gotten crushed. I still jumped up and hugged him.
