Life as a Gay Greaser

Chapter 10

  A week has passed. The Socs haven't bothered me yet. They probably must be terrified of Lily. I knew I was scared. But I was scared from watching Lily beat up the Socs. Not from one of them almost stabbing m. It was kind of funny. Two weeks after the Lucy episode, or whatever you want to call it. Fredrick now decides to come talk to me about it. The Fredrick coming to talk to was kind of funny, not the Soc thing. The talk with Fredrick went like this.

  "Hey Marshal. Can I talk to you?"

  "Hi Fredrick. Sure. Why you asking?"

  "I want to talk to you about Lucy." Oh no. I didn't want to talk about her, but I guess I should.

  "What about her?"

  "I take it, it didn't go well."

  "It didn't, it went terrible. She's just not my type of girl I'm into." Or gender for that matter.

  "She was desperate I guess. I know a few other girls who are single if you'd like to meet 'em."

  "No, I'm good."

  "Oh, okay. Oh and my big brother wants to see you at launch. He has to ask you something or whatever."

  "Okay. Thanks for the info, Fredrick. See ya around."

  "Same goes for you." With those words we set off for our classes. Fredrick said older brother because his twin was born first, so I guess that kind of makes sense. Thoughts kept swimming in my head until I ran into someone. I looked up to apologize, and saw that I ran into Richard. He had a large grin on his face. He pulled me into a huge, then released me before going to class. What was that about? I shook my head before going to class.

  I met up with Micheal at launch as I was told. I walk up to the raven haired Greaser. He was waiting by the entrance to the school. He looked up from what he was doing, and motioned for me to follow him. We walked to a nearby store without saying a word to each other. On the way back to school I stopped.

  "Hey Micheal. Fredrick said you wanted to ask me something. What did you want to ask me?" He turned around, and looked me up and down before speaking.

  "Are you gay?", he finally asked with a small tilt of his head.

  "Uh...." I could feel my face turn red in embaressment. I was also unsure how to answer this question.

"You can tell me. I won't judge."

"Are you sure?"

  "Yep."

  "Okay. Yes, I'm gay." I looked at him, scared of what he might say.

  "Are you happy with Richard?" I gasped. Surprised and curious as to how he knew about Richard and me.

  "H-how d-did y-you k-know?", I stutered.

  "Did you really think no one would notice? I could see you guys wisper to each other. I see the way he looks at you, and you warning him with a look back. The night of the Elvis Presley concert, I saw him try to hold your hand. It also explains why you aren't interseted in girls. Come on, we should go back to school now." I stared at Micheal all the way back to school. Someone knew about me and Richard. What if others knew? What will happen if the whole school founf out? No! I can't think like that. Everything will be okay.
