Worst of Me

Chapter 7

SUMMER VEGA'S POV

“You do realize what a hypocrite you are, right?” Rose asked me.

“How am I a hypocrite?!” I exclaimed at her

“You didn't tell them that you're not straight, did you?” she asked me politely.

“That’s different!” I said defensively.

“How so?” She asked.

“Shut up!” I answered angrily. “It's not like you told them anything either!”

“I don't even know what I am so how am I supposed to tell them?!” She answered.

“Let's just stop talking about this. You and I both know that this argument is going nowhere.” I said in an attempt to stay calm.

“Fine,but maybe you should apologize to them on Monday.” Roseanne said. Ugh, I hate it when she's right..

I turned on the speaker in our room and played some BTS. I calmed down, listening to Jungkook’s voice.

Monday came quickly and I was sitting on the bench in the courtyard of the school, listening to BTS with Roseanne.

I saw Donny, Alex, Fern, and Eury talking with Skyler. If I avoid them, I don’t have to apologize . Fern didn’t even try to hide the marks on her neck. There were people whispering about them not even trying to pretend like they weren't. I could hear the words gay, lesbos, gross people, not even human. And people wonder why we don't come out.

“So I see you gays had a fun time last night.” Someone said,approaching them.

“Y’know, those type of people ruin the vibe, you guys should just leave.” They said, Alex stood up, irritated.

“Go away, you fucking bigot.” Alex said.

“Ohh I’m so scared of a gay person.” He said, punching Alex. Alex stumbled and tackled him, getting into a fight. Donny got up and kicked the dude in the balls. A teacher ran out there and sent them all to detention. Fern,Eury,and Skyler just stood up and walked inside, some dudes were catcalling them and saying how they can change their lesbian ways. Jeez..now I understand why they didn’t want to tell anyone..

“That was...intense..” Roseanne mumbled.

“Yeah.” I said, the bell rang and we both got up and went to class.

Shit..Choir..I can't avoid Alex there.. “You know, you can apologize to Alex right now.” Roseanne whispered to me.

“No I'm good.” I whispered back. She gave a death glare that obviously meant “if you don't do what I say right now I will murder you”. Oh well, I'm okay with dying. I thought as I ignored her.

“Alright now I'll split you up into groups for your performance which is in 2 months.”McGuire said.

“Alex, Summer, and Roseanne will be group 1.” She said. Well, shit. I saw Roseanne smirking from the corner of my eye. Hmph.

A couple minutes later she said, “alright now everyone get in your groups.” Alex turned around in his seat,glaring at us. His cheek was slightly bruised.

“Why the hell aren't you at the nurse right now?” I asked him.

“Why would you care? Let’s just get this shit over with.” He said, looking over the paper.
