Life as a Gay Greaser

Chapter 6

  We were almost two blocks away from Richard's house when I spotted Lucy. Oh shit. What am I going to do. I don't wanna see her now. I looked up at Richard to see if he spotted Lucy too. He had a grim expression on his face which tols me that he had seen Lucy. I tugged on his arm, and led him to an alley.

  "We'll stay here untill she passes by.", I wispered to Richard. He noded back. I waited for two hours before looking out the alley to see if Lucy was gone. I didn't see her anywhere, so I assumed she was gone. I beckoned Richard to follow me out of the alley. Just as we were about to continue home, I heard a voice behind me.

  "Marshal you're alive."

"Hello to you too, Lucy", I grumbled while turning around to face her.

"Don't be rude."

"Look who's talking. You ignored me Friday night. Why?", I couldn't let her know that I already knew the truth.

"Um...... because. Because you were ignoring me." I couldn't believe it! She was lying to me! I thought she would be better than other Greaser girls. Besides Lily of course.

  "I was not ignoring you."

  "You never asked me if I wanted more popcorn."

  "Actually I did, but you gave me no answer. I asked if the boys hurt your feelings, but you never answered. You didn't talk to me one bit since those boys came up to you. So don't go saying that I was ignoring you. You were the reason why I left the dirve in early.", I stated angrily.

  "I-I w-was?", she asked through tears.

  "Yes you were. Sorry to make you cry, but it's the truth. Good bye Lucy. I'm going home now." With that I turned on my heel, and walked away with a happy Richard walking behind. I didn't look behind me to see if Lucy was okay. She just made me so mad! I couldn't look at her for one minute more. I didn't really care if she was mad at me. I just wanted to be my gay self, but others are trying to take that away from me. Maybe I should tell Lucy that I'm just not interested in her. Maybe that will get her to stop. I walked inside Richard's house with those thoughts going through my mind. I called my parents to tell them that I was spending the night at Richard's house. They said that that was ok.

  I fixed dinner for me and Richard that night. I was happy to be back with the love of my life. I hope me and Richard have a happy wedding. Oh that reminds me. I had Lucy cell phone number. I could call her to meet with me somewhere so I can tell her I'm sorry, and that I'm not interested in her. I might feel bad afterwords, but I can't help the fact that I'm just not interested. I hope she understands.

  I call Lucy that night while Richard is taking a shower. I tell her to meet me at the theater tomorrow. She said ok, but I don't think she will show up tomorrow. Oh well, I tried. I heard Richard come into the room wearing pants. I smile to my self thinking of the things I would be able to do with Richard at night once we're married.

  "Someone sure is happy", Richard said aloud after seeing my smile.

  "I'm just glad to be back with you. That's all."

  "Gosh. You make it sound like you've been gone for a year instead of two days."

  "That's because it felt like a year to me. Now shut up and come love me."

  "Aye aye captain." We both laughed at his silly joke as we climbed into bed. I held Richard close to me as we kissed. My arms wraped around his neck, as his wraped around my waist. Now that I think about it, we will be graudating in 4 months from today. I can't wait! All night we were in bliss. I couldn't think of anything else other than the fact that I was with Richard, and we were absultly happy.
