Short Story #30 - The Question - Hazel and Frank

__________________________

*Not dating.

*High School*

*Kind of an original plot were the seven are normal kids.*

__________________________

It was a snowy day at Hazel's middle school. It was a completely normal morning until 2nd period.

As Hazel was walking up to her second period class, her arm was grabbed and she was pulled to a deserted corner of the school.

"What the heck?!?! This better be quick. I have to get to class on time." Hazel says to a timid looking Frank.

"Um... You see..." he stutters. He then pulls Hazel to him in a sort of a hug and starts whispering sweetly into her ear. "Hazel, will you go out with me?" he asks.

Hazel steps back, shocked, surprised. "I don't know. I will get back to you." she says as she walks to her next class, blushing furiously.

She makes it to her class in time. Right as she takes a seat, Frank comes in.

'Oh my gods! I forgot we had this class together. Ugh! It's gonna be so awkward. He sits across from me, looking at me.' Hazel thinks.

Frank is marked tardy and he sits down. They avoid making eye contact the entire 45 minute period.

When the bell rings and signals the end of class, Hazel slides a piece of paper towards Frank, who in turn picks it up and puts it in his pocket.

The note read:

Frank,

My parents aren't home for 1 hour; 6:00 - 7:00. I need to TALK to you alone. You know my adress. See you then.

- Hazel

The rest of the school day goes by and Hazel only has time to get more and more nervous about what she is going to tell him. On her way home, she is completely silent.

- TIME SKIP -

The clock strikes 6 and Hazel's parents are gone. Her brother is gone as well because he stayed after school for math help.

There is a knock on the door. Hazel opens it to find a very nervous Frank.

"Come in," Hazel says. Once Frank is inside, Hazel motions for him to follow her. They go into the garage and hop into the car. The back seats are down. Hazel lies down and stares up. Frank, still unsure, lies down next to her, but looks at her.

"Why are we here of all places?" Frank asks.

"It's where I go to think." Hazel responds.

"Oh. So, what's up?" he says. Hazel turns and faces Frank, tears in her eyes. She quickly turns away and puts her head on a green, folded blanket. Frank quickly goes to comfort her, putting his arms around her protectively. Hazel turns and cries into his shirt.

"Shhh... Shhh.. Please talk to me." Frank coos.

"It's - It's just - just th-that..." she stammers.

"Shhh... Calm down then talk okay?" he suggests.

Hazel nods her head in response. After a few minutes, Hazel starts to talk.

"Okay. So, I like you. I really do, but I'm unsure. Unsure about myself." she turns away from him, but stays in his comforting arms. She takes a deep breath. "I don't know my own sexuality. I don't know if I'm straight, bi, or lesbian." She starts to cry harder than before.

"Hey. Hey. Look at me." Frank says tenderly while putting his finger under her chin and bringing her head up. "You are beautiful inside and out. My question still stands. I don't care if you are undecided, and if you turn lesbian, just let me know. I will always support you. Don't decide your answer to my question now. Tell me tomorrow morning in the 100 wing." he says.

Hazel nods and looks at her watch. "It's 6:50!" she says, " You should better get going."

They get up and Hazel leads the way to the door even though Frank knows the way.

"Goodnight." Frank says as he walks out the door.

"Goodnight." Hazel whispers.

- TIME SKIP TO NEXT DAY-

Hazel is waiting for Frank at a table in the 100 wing. As Frank walks around the corner, his eyes scan the crowd for Hazel. When he spots her, she nods and gets up, leaving her back pack. She breaks out into a run, a huge grin on both their faces. Frank opens his arms and Hazel runs right into them. She wraps her feet around his waist.

"Yes." she whispers.
