My sister went to school today early, which was weird since it's Monday, so it was just me and dad in the car this morning. I like these moments with my dad, because he is literally the best parent any child could ever ask for. I remember when I came out. He was the first person I told, and I knew from the get go that he would be on my side.

My entire life he supported anything I said or anything I did. I personally like to think I'm his favorite, just like I think Steph is mom's favorite. They both love us equally, but if we were to be rescued from a fire somewhere, I know where their allegiances fall.

Today isn't much different, just chatting it up, me keeping him level headed because there's a new employee at his work that rubs him the wrong way.

I like to think I keep him grounded. And I think he likes to think he keeps me grounded, which I guess is true. I rarely get mad, but I talk to him more than mom about my feelings anyways so it makes sense he'd be my voice of reason.

I avoid talking talking about my love life with him. Not because I don't trust him, but it would be so awkward. What advice would a 43-year-old straight man offer his sixteen year old gay son? I mean, he would come up with something, and that alone would be credit enough. But since I don't even have a love life, what's the point of testing unsailed waters?

I get out of the car as quickly as I got in it this morning and head to my locker to get my books. Before I get to my hall, I see a couple aggressively making out and I almost pay it no mind until I realize who it is.

So thats why she came to school so early, to make out with that guy that was in her bed last week?! Dad is gonna kill her.

I know what you're thinking, would I really rat out my younger sister? The answer is hell yes, without a doubt, and here is why:

When I was dating Alice last year she wanted to have sex with me, and before I figured out I didn't want to, we were in my room aggressively making out. My sister was going to the bathroom and saw us and took pictures for proof, and went back to her room.

I wanted to kill her but at the same time thank her because Alice was a rough kisser believe it or not and I needed a distraction for five minutes. I'm surprised I didn't get turned on, gay or not.

Anyways, after Alice left and before dinner, Stephanie went up to my mom (because she also knows where the allegiances lie), and showed her the pictures so I'd be grounded and couldn't go to a party I got invited to the week before.

My mom was so mad at me she grounded me for a month, and almost made me break up with Alice, and the latter of the two ended up happening a week later anyways so that wouldn't have really helped.

She ended up telling my dad and because he loves me more, he thought it wasn't fair that I should be grounded for kissing, because as far as he was concerned that's all we did. Believe it or not, this is how me and Stephanie figured out who had our backs during times of war.

I still got grounded, and I was so miserable, so I swore if I ever got the opportunity to get revenge I would damn sure take the opportunity.

I took out my phone, snapped a few photos and emailed them to dad with the caption "World War II at the dinner table tonight".

***********

The bell rang and I left English with Paul right next to me. We had to sit next to our partners for the rest of the week, and instead of feeling awkward about it I decided to just go with it, and if I mess up I'll fix it. I can't be on guard all day, every day.
