Tuesday - David's POV

"People tend to forget these things, but I don't. Freshman year you figured out I was gay and you asked me out. You remember that, don't you?" Everyone including David stared at Chris in awe as he confessed the truth about Trevor. I couldn't believe it. Trevor Young, Mr "I can tolerate your sexuality until you annoy me, then I'll ruin your life" was gay? No, he couldn't be. Right?

"I'm not gay you fucking psycho!"

"Oh yeah, you aren't now, but you used to be. You thought you liked guys so you decided to explore and chose me, but eventually you realised you never actually liked guys and broke up with me. Now, that's perfectly fine, it really is. It was also fine that you were scared of people finding out that you dated a guy. What wasn't fine is that you outed me to the entire cafeteria."

This all felt oddly familiar to David, but he didn't know why. Come on you big oaf, think! Trevor in freshman year, in the cafeteria, telling everyone Chris is gay. Come on, remember something...

"Dude, I've got a problem." David was snapped out of his thoughts by the sound of Trevor's voice that was followed by him slamming his lunch tray down on the table. The sound caused David to wince in annoyance and quickly try to cover his ears before the tray made contact, but he wasn't fast enough.

"Ow, my ears."

"We'll worry about them later. I need your help with something!"

"Tell me already, Jesus." David straightened his body and sat upright to give all his attention to Trevor in his time of need. Trevor was one of the new friends David made in his short time here at Evergreen High. Usually it was just him and Craig, but since Craig was such a social butterfly, he made some new friends for David.

"There's this gay kid who has a crush on me and won't leave me alone. I don't know what to do about it!"

David squinted at Trevor with a perplexed look on his face. There was already a gay guy here? We just started freshman year like, what, two months ago? And someone's already come out? Poor guy. More importantly, why was Trevor involved with a gay guy?

"What did you do to make him like you?"

"I don't know! Maybe I looked at him once? It doesn't matter, he won't leave me alone now! I need help."

"What do you expect me to do?"

"Maybe give me some advice? Like a good friend should?"

David rolled his eyes and fell back into his thoughts. What advice could he possibly give to someone that will make a gay guy leave him alone? I've never spoken to a gay guy before. Well, as far as I know. I haven't really seen much gay stuff on the internet either, so what can I do?

"Why don't you threaten tell people he's gay? That will make him stay away from you, right?" David watched as the cogs turned in Trevor's head until his face brightened and he nodded.

"Genius! Thank you for the help, dude. You're a real life saver." Trevor stood up from his seat and marched into the middle of the cafeteria. David furrowed his brows and prepared for his friend to make a fool of himself with whatever he was doing.

"Hey! Everyone!" Once Trevor had everyone's attention, he glanced around the cafeteria before pointing at a small brunette boy that was sitting by himself at a table. "Chris is gay!"

David's eyes widened, his hand immediately shooting up to cover his mouth and muffle a laugh of shock. He watched as the gay guy, who he now assumed was Chris, started to turn red and panic from the unwanted attention. The guy tried to speak up and defend himself, but he was immediately shut down by Trevor as the students who were around him moved away and left him by himself. Now he was really out in the open.
