NOAH POV

I got home that night and sat on my bed thinking, I kept feeling weird about my best friend, Cody. I couldn't point my finger to the exact answer, could it be nerves? Could it be jealousy? Worst of all, could it be the one thing I dreaded?

I sat up and walked over to my desk, wobbling a bit almost losing my balance. I sat down and turned on my computer. It didn't take long for it to hum to life.

I clicked Google and watched the screen load for a few seconds before loading the webpage up. Fuck it, i thought and typed out that burning question I had. "Why do I feel funny around my best friend?"

A lot of things came up, could be nerves. I scrolled down a little more before I stopped in shock, my heart almost beating out of my chest in anticipation. I clicked on the link which took me to a sketchy looking website.

"HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR IN LOVE WITH A FRIEND"

I stared at the text in shock before scrolling down slowly to read the information. I had always thought I liked a girl but once she broke my heart, I realised I wasn't even upset. Was this because of what I think it was? Was I.. gay?

I decided to open a new tab after doing a bit of research. I clicked enter and scrolled down to the first thing that popped up.

AM I GAY QUIZ.
Unsure on your sexuality? Take this quirky quiz to find out!

I nearly threw up at the word "quirky," ew. It made me shudder in utter disgust just reading it. I decided to click on it anyway.

The first question popped up:

When You Imagine Yourself In A Relationship, You Picture Yourself With Someone:
A. Of the same sex.
B. Sometimes one of the same sex sometimes one of the opposite sex.
C. Of the opposite sex.

First question and I was already stumped. When I pictured a relationship I usually thought of a man and woman but I would always wish I was the woman sometimes.

Thoughts flooded my mind as I thought about me and Cody together, butterflies swirled around my stomach just at the thought of it.

Shit, I knew where this was headed as I clicked A, uncertain, the next question popped up.

Could You See Yourself Being In A Same-Sex Relationship?
A. No, I couldn't.
B. I'm not sure, maybe.
C. I think I could.

What kind of question is that? Very similar to the first question so I clicked B. I wasn't too sure that's why I was taking this stupid test in the first place.

If You're Attracted To Someone Of The Opposite Sex, It's Usually A Celebrity, A Fictional Character, Or Someone Similarly Unattainable. True Or False?
A. True.
B. False
C. True sometimes, but not always.

The only woman I had been attracted to was Emma and I didn't even like her properly I don't think! I decided to click false as I really wasn't sure i'd even thought about that.

Have You Ever Kissed Someone Of The Same Sex?
A. Yes, and it felt good.
B. Yes, but I didn't like it.
C. No, I never have.

This question should be easy but was surprisingly hard. When having a sleepover I did once, kiss Cody on the ear in my sleep. Would I do it again? Yes. Did I like it? I never thought about that until now.
