Suppose to Keep a Secret

Part 4

I woke up the next morning to a couple texts from Staz,

"You go to RHS right?"
-staz

"I go to RHS."
-staz

"If you go to the same school we should walk together. I honestly can't remember, I feel like I've seen you."
-staz

"Wake up!"
-staz

Yikes. But also not yikes. We go to the same school. So now I do have a friend at school.

I walked to school by myself. I also ignored a lot of Staz's texts. I got to school quicker than usual which sucked because then I had to deal with Jared. Jared's basically my ex boyfriend before one time we decided my mother wasn't going to be home till late so we made out in my room for a while and thing were escalating and his hand was in my pants and my mother walked in and screamed because it was a boy on top of another boy and shes super Christian. She ended up hitting him with a broom on the way out and since then he's bullied me on being gay without any proof. A side note: Jared's the reason why I cant befriend most guys without my mother telling me it better be a friend because God doesn't like gays.
Anyway, he picks on me in front of his friends but if were alone he tries to pick me up and its gross. Hes gross.
I walked to my locker to get a textbook and hes across the hall dicken around with his buddies,

"Hey, its Faggot Kenra"

"Haha, did you just come up with that one now? Clever."

"Have any new boyfriends yet?"

"You were my only boyfriend."

"You wish?"

"No, you were my only boyfriend till you pussied out because my mother hit you with a broom."

"Wheres your proof?"

"Wheres your proof of me being gay?"

"You tired to kiss me. You called me your exboyfriend moments ago."

"Source?"

"What the hell?!"

"Its quite shameful to use such a wonderful young women as your cover up as a homosexual."

"She isn't a cover up."

"Look at me dead in the eye and say she isn't."

"I shouldn't have too."

"Then she is." I shut my locker and went into the bathroom.

"Were not done talking! Wait here guys." he ran in after me, there was someone else in there, "Get out!"

"Its so necessary to tell him to leave?" he pushed me into a stall, "Oh boy, my favorite part. When you sexually harass me."

"What do you mean? You like me. Were still a thing."

"Im pretty sure my mother broke us up. And no, you disrespecting me makes me dislike you. Weve gone over this every time you made out with me. You kinda just igno-" he started kissing me.

Two people walked in talking and I tired to push off Jared,

"Hes gay and you shouldn't hang out with him."

"Nothing wrong with being gay, man."

"Okay, but Kenra is weird about it. Always saying Jared dated him."

"How does that make being gay weird?"

"Youre not getting the point, Staz!"

"Hes an okay dude."

Staz's in here... I pushed Jared off, "Can you stop now? I cant breathe, Jared. Youre practically sucking my face off."

"You mean youre sucking my face off!" he punched me in the gut and spit on me, "Don't ever do that type of gay shit again, you hear me? Theres more from where that came from, Ameer." he unlocked the bathroom stall and left.

Staz ran over to the same stall, "Kenra?! Are you okay?!!"

"Careful, I might pull you in here too, heh... Im sorry you had to hear and see this. And most likely believe that im a faggot. Sure, yeah its true. You don't have to hang out with me anymore." I gave him a thumbs up

"?Kenra, what the fuck? Im still your friend, come on, lets go get you an ice pack."

I told Staz what happened between Jared and I, surprisingly he believed me.

"So you are gay."

"I guess. I do fancy men more than women. I don't know about your family and LGBT things, but if they don't like homosexuality we cant hang out."

"Nah, they dont care much. Nor do I. Youre still coming over though, right?"

"I guess so. My mother wants to meet your parents first. You should prepare them. Make your house seem as uptight as you can, make your family learn some bible verses. Stuff like that."

"Shouldn't be hard. Theyre already Christian. But yeah i'll tell them about that now." he texted them. "So your mom hates that youre gay?"

"She forbids it because God himself is my father. She told me yesterday that you better be a friend, that you know how your father gets."

"That's a bit odd. But listen, your secrets safe with me."

"That's good I guess. Even though Jared-"

"Yeah, but he harasses you and gets away with it because of true rumors. Sorry my dude."

"uhuh..."

"How does it feel though?"

"What?"

"Too kiss another guy."

"Feels like a kiss, but you know its a guy than a girl. Feels right to me, so its right for me."

Staz bit his lip, "Ive never had my first kiss yet. So im not even sure which is right for me."

"Oh. Well that sucks? Im not sure what to say. Not that its a bad thing to not have kissed someone yet, but this puts me into an awkward position because it sounds like you want to know how it feels to kiss a guy."

"Well, I don't desire it. And youre a new friend. Nor am I going to pull a Jared and force you to kiss me."

"HAh. That was a good one."

The bell rang and we both went our ways through a couple days. We hung out during brunch, got to know each other more a more each conversation. We even texted during class because we needed to continue our current conversation. Staz truly is one of a kind.
