It was my first day at my new school, my family didn't even realize how horrible it was for me to do this. I started out in a small town, and I was friends with everyone there. That whole school knew all of my secrets and still my parents never found out. I sat down in my first period seat, next to a girl in all black with long blonde hair. The teacher finally walked in, 3 minutes after the bell. She introduced herself as Mrs. Davis. I was on the verge of zoning out, but then I heard.
"Riley Maddison? would you like to introduce yourself?" Her soft British accent was actually calming.
I look up, nod, and walk to the front of the class. A few guys were looking at me, up and down. One of them winks at me. I roll my eyes and take a deep breath.
"I'm not really that exciting I guess, but I'm Riley. I like music and once you get to know me...I seem really really cool." I got nervous, not knowing what to say.
The girl I sat next to in the back smiled at me as I walked to my seat. No one decided to talk to me until the end of class when we were getting ready to leave. The girl next to me looked over at me, yet again, to smile.
She whispered to me, "so Riley Maddison huh?"
I nod and smile at her, "y-yeah..."
I slowly slid my sleeves down on my hoodie.
She looked down, almost in tears now. What had I done.
"Meet me in the classroom next door after this class..." She got up and left the classroom.
I watched her leave, in awe, wishing she would've stayed.
After the bell rang I entered the classroom next door, it was abandoned. I hear her voice from the dark corner. Her feet on the old mahogany desk.
"My name is Alex" She looked up at me, grabbing a beanie from her bag, putting it on. It was black, just like everything else she was wearing. Her black ripped jeans, black leather jacket, black Nirvana shirt, black high top converse, black everything. Except her hair; blonde with an aquamarine streak in her hair.
"Oh, uhm hi Alex!" I smiled, not sure of what to do.
"You're gay right?" She took her feet off the desk.
"How'd you know?! I mean...uhm yeah..." I mumbled the last part.
She got out of her chair and leaned against the wall. "It's obvious." She sighed.
"You're one of the only girls here that are. There's one other lesbian, a gay guy, and a pansexual trans guy." She walked closer to me.
"Oh..." I look down.
"You interest me Riley Maddison." She lifted my chin up to look at her.
"I-I do?" I was so confused and concerned about my safety now. What was I going to do?!
"You do. Let's hang out. Tonight, my place, 8 o'clock. Be there." She handed me a piece of paper with her number, email, address, and social media on it.
"Damn...you're smart..." I looked up, she was already gone.
I shook my head and left the room to my next class, Spanish.
