Andermott is a six-foot tall Norwegian whom was rumored to have had quite an escapade with the school principal who is, by far the queerest man I know.

Though he tried so hard to convince the school that the story that ran wild about him isn't true, no one believed him because it was a Puzzling detail that found it's fit.

At 31, he had no romantic life (with a female)
and he is so dismissive about sensual things. At first, everyone assumed he was Asexual but then, the story came up and we all dismissed the thought.

At a point of his denial, I approached him one day to try 'comforting' him, saying it is okay to be different and that it's quite beautiful to me.

Sadly, my attempt of giving him consolation didn't pan out. He said, 'Of course, you think it's beautiful, aren't you queer after all?'

'It doesn't matter, i would have told you the same if i wasn't. The world is coming to accept us the way we are, you seriously don't need to worry about what people would think about you or say'

Andermott's dejected look didn't fade as he said, 'And yet, i hear the word 'fag' around the school like ten times a day '.

I felt defeated as his head dropped on his desk so hard i could have felt his pain.

I patted his back a couple times and walked out thinking he would have to seek solace somewhere else, 'i have enough in my life as it is'.
            .............BTR.......

    Skyler's gentle touch jolted me back to reality as she dipped her hand into my hair like she used to when we were together. I grinned as i felt a little tingle.

'Gosh! your hair is still damn amazing, i get jealous sometimes, you know?'
     I didn't know where the rumbling in my stomach was coming from

'C'mon, it's not that good, yours is better'

'uh.. not as yours'

  'What's going on? are you two arguing about hair now? So weird, snap out of it'

My dumbass demon just won't shut up!.

I started to feel quite uncomfortable when she started running her fingers through it. My eyes sharply caught on a bunch of cheerleaders as they stopped to stare at us. I cleared my throat as i gently whispered.

     'Everyone's staring, Sky?!'
I'm really not one to care about what people think but i was very uncomfortable.

She turned to look and then i saw as the blush crept to her face slowly.
  'Sorry' she still didn't get her hand out.
'It's ok...uhm, Sky, your hand' I said as i comically lifted my eyes to where her hand was.
 

'Oh, yh, Sorry!' I gently rolled my eyes as i was getting frustrated by her incessant apologies.

   'Stop saying sorry, Sky'
'Oh..uhm i said sorry because I'm sure everyone thinks..' she was being so awkward

  'No they don't!' I replied sharply cutting in on her.

I didn't allow her to finish the statement as i half-dragged her into the gym.

        'Sky?'

'Yh' she looked so lost.
     'What's going on?'
'What do you mean?'
'I mean, why do u look so sad'
It's like i knew the answer to that.

  Because you broke her damn heart, u        fool! 'Geez, can't you just shut up?' I yelled internally, My demon is being annoying again.

   'No...I'm'  She seemed to break off for some time.
