Gay. (Royce)

Chapter 10.

Next Saturday, 7PM - August Residence

"What should I wear, Mom!" Chresanto panicked. "My tutor wants me over where in two hours!"

"Isn't your tutor a boy?" His mother laughed. "I thought being gay was nasty?"

"It is." Chresanto snapped. "I just want to look good for his....sister?"

His mother saw right through him. He was finally seeing what it was like to like someone of the same sex. His mother just walked in the closet and grabbed a cheetah print jacket, black shirt, gold chain, black skinny jeans, and gold T-Rawws. Chresanto smiled and sighed in relief.

"Thank you, Mama." Chresanto said, tearing up. "You know I love you. Even though I do all that bullshit to you?"

"Yeah." She smiled. "Just stop disrespecting me. You need to read this from the bible."

"What?" He asked.

"Honor thy mother and thy father and thou shall have everlasting days upon this earth." She quoted. "I've told you that before and you've ignored me. But I think you're listening now."

"I am." He said. "Mama, when I'm ready to talk, I'll come to you."

"Okay, Baby." She smiled. "I'll see you later. Spanish better be the only thing going on."

"Hopefully." Chresanto whispered.

Chresanto waited until eight to get in his car to go to Jacob's house. When he arrived, he went up to the door and rang the doorbell. Someone came to the door and opened it.

"Jesus." Chresanto thought.

Jacob was sweating. He didn't have his shirt on. Chresanto covered himself down low. Jacob chuckled and looked at him.

"My apologizes, Old Friend." Jacob blushed. "We just finished working out."

"Wh- Craig?"

"Oh...uh...Wassup?" Craig stuttered. "Hey, Santo."

"Why you here?" Chresanto said flatly. "Huh?"

"Imani." Craig said. "We're friends. Her friends are mine too."

"I thought you hated him." Chresanto growled. "I-"

"Harry!" Imani smiled.

She ran out, past Jacob, Chresanto, and Craig and jumped into his arms. Harry smiled in her hair and kissed her ear.

"Hey, Beautiful."

Craig cut his eyes into slits. He growled towards them and marched up to them. He was mad that she was giving him the time of day, but she gave Harry, his teammate, the time of day.

"Wassup, Harry?" Craig snapped hard. "Why you over here?"

"Seeing Imani." Harry chuckled. "What about you?"

"Working out." Craig smiled. "It was nice to see you, but we've got to get back to w-"

"Actually..." Imani sighed. "We've got a date."

"Wow." Craig said. "You know how I feel about you and you gon' do that to me?"

Imani didn't like Craig for the simple fact, deep down, he didn't like gays. Her father was gay when he was in high school, but fell for her mother. She respected gays and Jacob. He didn't.

"I'm sorry." She said.

Craig stormed away and hopped in his car. Imani prayed for him. She prayed nothing would happen to him tonight. Harry grabbed her hand and led her to his car. She was going to freshen up, then go on their date.

Jacob turned to Chresanto and smirked.

"Ready?"
