Everyone has a secret. Some may be something along the lines of using drugs or alcohol. Some might be something like hurting somebody else or even hurting yourself. No matter what it is everybody has a secret. And if that secret gets spread around, it could ruin your life. That's certainly how it is for me. My name is Jonah. To everybody else at West Aurora High School I'm just an ordinary guy. I'm pretty popular. I'm not like prom king popular but I have my share of good friends. I get great grades, despite putting barely any effort into school. I'm a pretty good athlete also. So you might be wondering, what's the deal with this kid? He seems pretty normal to me. That's the thing. He "seems" normal. Although I seem like your average high school kid I had one huge secret. I am gay. Deep in the closet gay. To some that doesn't seem like a big deal. But I know that there are people that if they found out my secret, they would expose me to the entire school. They would bully me both physically and mentally. I know that even if I told some of my closest friends that I was gay they would never want to talk to me again. People often ask "If you don't want to be gay then why don't you just be straight?". Believe me, more than anything I want to be straight. I want more than anything to have a chance at having the person of my dreams. I want to be able to make a move at someone without worrying about being bullied by the whole freshman grade if all goes wrong. But that's just how I am. I'm gay, and although I don't know if I will still feel gay in 15 years, I feel gay now and that's all that matters.
