I sit on my bed, processing what I had just done. I slam my head into my pillow and scream, punching my bed. I just kissed Gus! Agustus Porter! My boyfriend! Who I want to STAY my boyfriend! I stop screaming, and roll over to stare at the ceiling. I hadn't thought about learning anything new about Luz in the past... who knows how long. I've been thinking about him. Gus. I groan, rolling into my pillow again. When did I start liking him?? Its not fair, I can't like a boy! I'm just a fa- what my mom said I am.. I can't even bring myself to think of the word. It hurts.

Just as I start getting out my homework, I get a call. Its Gus! I answer it, him staring at me out of my crystal ball. "Hi!" He says happily. I return the greeting and he says, "I need a bit of help on this question" I roll my eyes. "What subject?" "So it's funny, actually." He chuckles nervously, "its all of them" i pinch the bridge of my nose inbetween two fingers. "Augustus..." "Look its hard okay??" He whines. I smile at him a little, and he smiles back. "So can you help your boyf- your good friend out?" He asks with a pleading look. I feel a sinking feeling when he corrects himself. I feel bad with him being out and proud and me having to hide.. "Sure thing, dork, I'll help" I say with mock annoyance.

Once I finish helping him, we stay on the phone for hours just talking about everyday things. Happily. Then my parents get home from their outing. As soon as the door slams, I frantically hang up, and just on time, they start screaming a second later.
