I breathe heavily, I wasnt breathing before. I run my hands through my hair and focus on the floor.
"You got it MK?" Gee asks.
"Yeah." MK says.
"Ef, Ar, anything cool happen?"
"We sprayed a drac? Does that count?" Ef says.
"You and that dude today, Jay, I felt the heat from down the hall. How far did you go?"
"He was pretty cute." I try and avoid the question.
"Did you kiss him? Did he kiss you?"
"I dont know? Maybe." Im vague.
Gee taps his hand, frustrated. Im being vague and not giving him the information he wants.
When we get back I dive out the car, running inside. Ace is lying on a sofa, looking at a shiny rock.
"Theres nothing to do." She says as soon as I enter the room.
"We are back now, so there is." I say, sitting opposite her.
She sits up and fixes her wavy pink hair. She looks expectant.
"Wanna know how to shoot a gun?" I ask after a moment.
"BL taught me the basics. But sure!" She says standing.
She follows me outside and Ef and Gee watch from the shade. I hand her the white silver gun.
"Show me what you know, hit the target?" I say.
She smiles and poses, lifting her gun up. I notice tiny mistakes in what she is doing. She shoots, hitting the edge of the target. She turns and grins shyly.
"Good, hold your pose again?" I ask.
She complies and I adjust her posture and lift her other hand to hold the gun.
"Its not as glamorous but its is better for hitting the targets. Boths hands hold your gun better."
"Thanks." She says. "You know, I missed having you around."
I smile and look at my feet. "Same... Ive told the guys a lot about you but Im not sure they know its actually you."
"That doesnt matter."
"Good. Now, lets shoot."
She pulls the trigger and hits just besides the centre. I lift up my hand, waiting for a high five. She looks at me weirdly.
"High five. Its expresses accomplishment. Slap your hand against mine."
She slaps her hand on mine slowly. She gives me a look and I grin. BL kids are so odd... My grins slowly disappears. Im slowly leaving my roots behind. Im becoming a Killjoy. Im barely me any more. I was me because I was BL but rebelling against BL. Im shaking.
"Thats enough of me for today. You can practice." I mumble, losing eye contact and walking inside.
I sit on the mattress of our spare room. Im not me anymore. Im not partially what I hate. I stare at my shaking hands. Im losing my personality. I never even noticed the change. Ef and Gee knock on the door. I turn my face to meet them.
"Are you okay?" Ef asks.
I avert my eyes to the floor. "Im great." I worry my tone is giving it away.
"So leaving with a frown mid session is you feeling great?"
I turn my face away, looking at the bleakness of the wall. The mattress dips as Ef and Gee sit either side of me. I click my tongue.
