Life in the rainbow

Zina

It gets really annoying when people ask me what apothisexual is. It's almost asexual, but to me, instead of simply not wanting to have sex, I'm absolutely repulsed by it. I'm also homoromantic. I do date only girls. But I would never engage in any sexual activity with any.

So one day I walk the halls in school. It's very sad because I'm in a catholic school, which is quite small, and no one else is attracted to the same sex.

I like this girl Athena. She's absolutely everything I want. I would kill to hold her hand.

Athena and I don't really talk, shockingly. She always hangs out with jock boys and gay boys.

I usually hang out with the gay guys and we have gay talks. But the promise they made me was to never talk about sex around me.

So I am walking the 9th grade halls with my gay best friends. Suddenly, I feel as Darien, a boy who is straight, smacks my butt.

"Excuse me?" I say.

All of his friends laugh. My friends and I walk away, for we have better things to do than fight a bunch of homophobic hetero assholes.

Later that day, my friends, Alina, who is wondering if she's aromantic, Clyde, who is gay, and Marco, who is bisexual, and I all hang out.

We all get a text.

"Come to the party!" Darien says in the text.

We all decide to go and have some fun.

But there, I'm about to experience a total nightmare.

When we get there, we all just hang out and drink punch.

"Zina!" Darien says. "Come here!"

I decide to, and we go up to what is his room.

"Zina," he says. "I wanted to say I'm sorry for hitting your ass.... That was wrong of me."

I don't forgive him.

"I won't forgive you," I say.

"Well I know you're apothisexual and gay! Maybe this'll change your mind. Because there's something I wanted to show you."

He suddenly grabs my arms and pins me down.

"HELP!" I yell, panicked.

I suddenly vomit all over him. It gives me enough time to get away.

I get everyone upstairs to rid of Darien.

First of all, if someone doesn't want to do something, don't force them. Don't try to change someone's sexuality by raping them. And if this were to ever be you, get help and get the person away. Stay away from them. Be you. Whether straight, gay apothisexual or anything, just be you and follow your heart!
