All because I like a boy.

Ch.1

⚠️𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐚 ⚠️

I was 14 when I realized I wasn't like other kids. At least not like other boys my age who only talked about girls. They told me about who the liked and fought about who was better catch.
I tried to find someone who was like that for me but I only ever thought about my best friend Kody. He had green eyes, tan skin and medium brown waves in his hair that drew me in like magnet.

I thought about him the way other boys thought about girls.

"But he was my best friend" I thought. You're not supposed to love your best friend.

I vowed to never tell anyone and keep to myself until it goes away, but it didn't and only grew.

| Time passes and they are at a party |

"SPIN IT"

"SPIN IT"

"SPIN IT"

My friends chant as I, a little tipsy, spin the bottle landing on Kody.

Eyes widen as I lean in, clearly not thinking straight.

"SMACK"

My face starts to sting as Kody backs away. "August dude wtf", he shouts as a lump forms in my throat keeping me for crying. "Don't try pulling that gay shit again," he chuckled as the rest of the guys joined in, "look at all these girls and you tried to kiss me?!". "Umm well.." I struggled to say. "Isn't that how the game works why, are you a pussy?" I say trying to fake some confidence.

He notices.

"Don't give me that shit, you sound like you're holding back tears". I look down and fiddled with my thumbs," wait... don't tell me you like me?".

Shit

My eyes widen as I bolt up trying to deny the accusations. " it's not like that," I say, " you're my best friend," I try convincing him. "Nu uh" someone says, " I see you looking at him all giddy, you're definitely a f**". Hot streams run down my face as I try to leave only to have the door locked on me. " Girls leave party's over," I hear someone say and then footsteps and slam. "Now that they're gone, August get your ass over here," Cody exclaims.
