Zoë's POV

Braylon was coming over to day but he had someone that he wanted me to meet.
There was a knock on the door so I got up and answered it. It was Braylon with a... girl. That hurt.

"Hey Zoë this Tessa my friend." He said.
He had a new friend? Was he tired of me now? I guess so. I smiled weakly at him and looked at the girl. She was pretty. She was skinny. Tan. Pimple free. It was just perfection.

"Um Zoë are you okay?" Braylon said worried.
"Y-yea I'm fine I just need to um go check on my mom." I said trying to get away from him.
"What do you mean your mom isn't here." He said.
"Just because she's dead doesn't mean she's not with me." He looked at me with sadness in his mind. The girl stepped in the conversation. "Am I intruding anything like dating wise?" She said. I looked Braylon and shook my head as a tear slipped. Braylon saw it and was about say something but I spoke up before him.
"I would be a fool if I was dating him. Cause I just wasn't a good enough friend for him. So might as well not date him." I said as I slammed the door in Braylon's and Tessa face.

The next day

I Walked up to the school and walked to my locker. I saw Braylon at his locker and I saw Tessa with her friends. Only if I can a friend like Tessa.

I saw Tessa came up and saw her smile at me. And then she was checking me out. Oh. God.
"Hey I didn't mean to like intrude in your friendship. Just to let you know I don't like him at all. I don't even like guys I like girls. Ok so don't worry I saw how you lied about being a fool to date him. He's all yours."
I looked at her. Wow she was a lesbian. I've always wanted a lesbian as a friend.
"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry I didn't mean to freak out yesterday. Braylon probably thinks I'm crazy mad at him and now I think he hates me now. Damn it!!" She held onto my shoulder to stop me.
"Just go over there and talk to okay."
"Okay"

I walked over to Braylon who was talking to a group of guys. Braylon saw me and anger took over him.
"I thought you would be a fool to be around me huh?"
"What no-" I was cut off from Braylon.
"Don't deny Zoë we both know you said that."
I was done with this. I went up to him and looked at him.
"I didn't said that." I said.
"Yes you did I heard you with my own ears."
"No I didn't I said I would be a fool if I DATE YOU!! You alway think the wrong thing don't you huh? You think I came over here to have a fight? I came over here to say I'm sorry for not letting you explain. Ok don't you get it. I don't want to lose you like I lost my mom and dad and my brother." I said.

"You didn't lose your brother." He said as he looked down.
"Yes I did I even know him anymore. I don't have a family. You're the only family I actually have." I said.

I felt arms around me. It was Braylon's arms.

"Don't worry you won't lose me. Never will I let you go." He said as he pulled away. The bell rung signalling that it was time for class. I walked to class and I saw someone roaming the halls.
I went up to him and asked "do you need help?"
"Yea I'm knew" he said.
"Cool what's your name?" I asked.
"I'm Jay Lucas." He said.
"I'm Zoë"
"Nice to meet you."

We were about to walk into class but he stopped me.
"Yea?" I asked sweetly.
"I need to tell you something before we go inside."
"Ok"
"I'm gay"
My eyes widened.
"And you probably want to leave me."
"What no I don't just because you like the sex as you doesn't change anything. Okay just be yourself. Oh and nice blue hair." I said as we walked in the class.

"Zoë you're late!" Mr. Juan said.
"Sorry just showing where the jay needs to go." I said as I looked at him.
"Oh I'm sorry Zoë just go sit down and work on the project and jay you can be in her group with Braylon." I smiled.
"Come on" I said as I walked over to Braylon.

"Who's this?" Braylon said.
"This Jay, Jay this is Braylon my best friend." I said as I sat down.
I lent down to whisper in Braylon's ear but went over to Jay first to see if I can tell. He said ya.
"Just to let you know Jay is gay" I said as I whispered. I heard him sigh in relief but I just shook it off. Today was a good day.
