Coming Out Stories

Story 9

This is the story of my first coming out, well it was more like an explosion of confusion then a coherent coming out.. So i study biology in univeristy and one day last year me and my best friend who is in the same course (lets call her Julia) stayed late at uni cos we both had to finish a lab report about snails which was due the next day. Except all i could think about was this other girl in our course (Maya) cos I had a crush on Maya except I'd never had a crush on a girl before so I was rather confused. So we were sitting their writing about snails and i turned to Julia and: me: I have a problem her: huh? me: Maya her: ..she's cool, wait why is this a problem? me: cos like she's really cute..like i think she's cute..like really cute her: oh..so you like her? me: i dunno, yes maybe kinda? at this point we just went out into the hallway cos so we could talk and just stayed there for like half an hour with me freaking out and telling her everything i had been feeling, basically just an explosion of my feeling and confusion. And she was really supportive and everything cos she's a brilliant human being, then: her: so ok this is really important and i'm glad you told me...but snails me: snails? her: you know..snail report, for tomorrow me: oh yea her: so stop thinking about how girls are apparently pretty and think about snails me: -laughing my ass off at this point- but snails ain't pretty her: unfortunately no So then we returned to finishing our reports, but i was still kinda distracted and kept staring at the wall and thinking about Maya. So whenever Julia noticed me doing that she hit me with her pen and said i could only think about pretty girls after i was done with snails xD So that's the first time i came out, and now me and Julia can't see a snail without starting to laugh its rather amusing when other humans are around cos they can't understand why a snail is so funny Julia is seriously amazing though, like this way a year ago and through the whole time of me figuring shit out I've always had her to talk to about anything and everything and I'm so glad i have this awesome human in my life

Maya is straight but we're friends though and its cool, I don't have a crush on her anymore. She also knows I'm a lesbian now and she's cool with it.
