"So, uh, are the rumors true?" Kevin asks. I know exactly what he's talking about. It's about me being gay.
I hesitate, but eventually say, "Yeah..yeah they are. Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable".
"Of course not!" He says. "Why would my opinion on someone change if they were gay? Especially when I'm kinda in the same boat."
I remembered when Kevin told his history teacher about him being transgender in 6th grade. All he really wanted was acceptance and to be treated how he deserved to be treated. But she called the office and he was given a week's suspension for "talking about inappropriate material with a teacher.".
I had completely forgotten that he was trans. And he's gone through so much because of it. I never understood why people treat others poorly because of these kinds of things.
I give him a warm smile.
"I-I'm kinda struggling with my gender.." I quietly say. "Like, I'm fairly certain that I'm still a guy, but part of me feels like..I don't know, even..that's probably weird I'm sorry" I told him this before I had the ability to process the words.
He looks at me for a moment. "I think that's called being a demiboy..? And it's not weird at all, don't worry about it."
I sighed out of relief. "You're the first person I've told. Not because you're trans you're just the only person I feel like would understand-"
He smiled. "Well, I'm glad I could help!"
He had an adorable smile. But I can't let myself fall for him. He's probably straight, and I don't think I'd be a good boyfriend, anyways.
I still couldn't help but admire him, though. He cared enough to protect me without feeling obligated. He's understanding. He's smart. And he's funny.
"What elective do you take?" He asked.
"Oh, I take art." I answered.
"I kinda thought so, I take theater."
"What show are you putting on this year?"
"Rent. I'm playing the role of Mark Cohen." He said.
Rent. I've seen the movie, but have only heard that it was a Broadway musical.
"When's opening night?" I ask him.
"It's on December 15th."
"It would be amazing to see you in the play! I'm sure an amazing actor!"
"Heh, the other cast members are way better than I am.." he says humbly.
I smile in admiration. "I'm sure that's not true."
And there it is. I've failed my mission. I like him. A lot.
