"Tyler, I really don't understand...I don't like boys," Tyler's friend, Hayley said. Tyler gasped.

"What?" She asked.

Tyler looked at her, wide-eyed.

"Are you..." He lowered his voice to a whisper. "Gay?"

Hayley rolled her eyes.  "I don't know, okay! But ever since I saw that girl...and whatever made me realize that I was never attracted to guys, I've been considering myself gay...or, as my research says, lesbian."

Tyler nodded.

"You don't hate me, right?" Hayley asked sadly.

"Of course not! Why would I?"

Hayley shrugged.

"I  never really had any attractions to girls, really," Tyler confessed.  "But I can't be gay. My family...the whole church will hate me! They'll  call me a sinner! They'll shut me out!"

Hayley smiled.

"Have you had any liking towards guys?"

Tyler was never asked this question...but the answer was definitely yes.

"Uh...yeah.  Once I saw this nice looking kid...he had brown hair, a slightly large  nose...he might have been in a grade older than me, so...meh. But, I'll never see him again, so I just forgot him."

Hayley gasped.

"Tyler has a crush?"

"Had," he corrected.

Tyler stood up.

"I've gotta go home. Text me later!"
