Come together

1. New Club

Rylee giggled as she ran out of the office, "He approved of our club!" she told her girlfriend, Elena.

The light blue-haired girl was practically jumping with joy, the pigtail buns on her head softly swayed up and down as her whole body moved. "I can't believe they actually approved it, I mean I can, but I can't," Elena replied, she knew how homophobic and anti-LGBT+ some of the teachers were so it was nice to hear the Principal wasn't like the others.

Rylee planted a small kiss on her adorable, chubby girlfriend. Elena smiled as her cheeks were lightly dusted with rosy pink.

"Come on, we need to make flyers and sign up sheets!" Rylee grabbed her hand and ran off to the library in the school. She sat down at the computer and clicked on Publisher.

"So, we need to put the name at the top."

"And how about we put some rainbows over here."

"Great idea! This font will be great, do you think it's too big?"

"Maybe make it a teeny bit smaller."

The two girls smiled as they created their flyers and sign up sheets, once they were finished they printed out the copies and hung them around the school, they placed the sign-up sheets on the small tables under the boards where their flyers hung.

"The first club meeting shall be tomorrow after school, in my homeroom class! Or the science class for you and probably the others." Rylee told Elena.

"Don't you think that's a bit too soon, I mean we just made this club and all..."

"Nonsense! Tomorrow is what we put on the flyers, tomorrow is when it's going to be!"

Elena sighed, she couldn't change Rylee's mind when she was like this, so she just nodded and walked home together.

Rylee and Elena sat in the classroom.

Alone.

"I swear at least one person signed up, cause I have these sign-up sheets that have been signed..." Rylee said sadly, glancing down at the papers.

"Maybe they forgot what classroom it was in, or didn't see what time they were supposed to be here."

Elena tried to comfort her usually cheery girlfriend.

Suddenly the door swung open.

"Yo, yo sorry for being late, my dudes!" The guy waved, slightly embarrassed about being late. "Or dudettes." He quickly added, not wanting to assume anything.

"Oh no, no, no it's fine!" Rylee said, jumping out of her seat and walking over to the young man.

Finally, someone came, Rylee grinned, it might have only been one person but at least someone came!

"Wait, aren't you in that band, White Fang or something?" Elena asked, getting out of her seat and walking towards him.

"Heh, yeah. I'm the lead singer actually, the name's Zayden." He smiled at the two ladies, "I'm Rylee and this is my cute, wonderful girlfriend, Elena." Elena rolled her eyes with a smile.

"And we're both completely and utterly gay." Rylee added, "Ah, cool, I'm gay too." Zayden told the two. "I mean why else would I be here." He added.

They all headed towards the table, "So is this club, just about talking about gay stuff? Cause I'm great at that, I saw a shirtless guy in PE today and he looked absolutely fine—like ten outta ten, man."

Rylee giggled a little, "Pretty much, but we're also going to hold small pride events around the school and such." she told him.

"Like pride parties, pride dances, and even a small pride parade for the school!" She said excitedly, "In fact, we've already started planning when our first pride dance is going to be."

"Whoa, sounds sick!" Zayden commented, "Gets me really pumped for what might happen in the future."

"Oh, we also help those who are in the closet and such." Elena added.

"Oh yeah, heh forgot 'bout that for a second." Rylee lightly hit the side of her head, "Are you in the closet, Zayden?" she asked.

"Oh, nah I came out a long time ago. My mom's pretty excepting, my dad's a whole nother story though." 

"Sorry to hear that, Zayden." Rylee frowned, patting him on the back. "My parents are a bit meh on the whole thing, they're just 'Hey, at least she won't get pregnant'." She said.

"I haven't come out yet since my parents are terribly homophobic, so I'm a scared they won't accept me." She told Zayden with a frown. "My parents don't even know I'm dating someone, they just think Rylee's my best friend." 

"Ah, sorry, I hope one day they'll realize how stupid and mean they're being." Zayden rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "Let me guess they're hardcore Catholics or Jews? No offense, I know they aren't all homophobic, just most people use God as an excuse to hate on gay people." 

"They're Jewish, don't worry no offense taken." Elena waved her hand, "I'm sure there are plenty of Jews and Catholics and Muslims, that aren't homophobic like you Elena." Zayden said.

"Yeah, it's fine, it's fine, I get it." Elena reassured the guy who was sweating nervously still afraid he might have offended her.

Rylee looked at the time, "Look like it's time for the first ever LGBT+ club meeting to end!" she clapped her hands together.

"Don't worry dudettes, I'll make sure this club gets tons of new members." Zayden told them with a thumbs up.

The other two smiled at him, "Thank you, Zayden." Elena said.

"No probs, lesbeans!" He said and then left the classroom.

"I can't wait! This is going to rock!"
