-Chapter 9

 Their lips were pressed together gently, sending an electric pulse through both boys. John's eyes widened, his mind blank. Alex placed a hand on John's cheek. 

 John closed his eyes for the moment. What felt like minutes only lasted seconds, and Alex pulled away slowly. John looked utterly surprised. Alex took note of this. 

 Alex pursed his lips, then opened his mouth, trying to think of what to say. "I-I'm sorry.. I.. Shoulnt have done that.." Alex mumbled, looking at his crossed legs. He felt stupid for not asking of consent. He didn't even know if John liked boys. He was afraid to meet John's gaze.

 "N-No.. It's ok.." John stammered, feeling the ghost of Alex's lips in his. What a magical feeling it was to him. But why so wonderful? 

 Alex stood from the bed, brushing off his shirt. "I'm just going to the.. bathroom.." He mumbled awkwardly, then walked out looking flustered. John lay back on Alex's bunk, Trying to process what just happened. Alex kissed him. Alex kissed him. 

 Now John was surely pondering his sexuality. Should he tell the girls first, or at least ask them about it. In all honesty, John enjoyed Peggy painting his nails. In fact, he planned on doing it soon again. Maybe he should talk to the girls about this. 

 John's stomach churned, the image of Alex kissing him playing over and over in his mind. John's cheeks flushed a pinky-red color, the light from the curtains reflecting on his flustered face. He couldn't help but blush, imagining dirty things. No. He needed to stop.

 "Jesus Christ, John.." he muttered to himself in a scolding manner. He slowly stood up from the bed stumbling over to the door. He was slightly dazed from the whole situation. He took a deep breath before opening the door. Guess that's deja vu.

 John opened the door and scanned the hallway to make sure Alex wasn't there. John carefully stepped out of the room and made his way to the girls' room. In the past days he'd memorized the route to their room. It wasn't that far from his and Alex's.

 John knocked on their door, his forehead hot with nervousness. Angelica opened the door, raising her eyebrows. "Woah.. are you okay?" John wondered if he really looked that bad. "Uh yeah.. I just wanted to um.. talk to you guys.." He stammered, pursing his lips. 

 "Of course! You're always welcome to talk to us!" Angelica said cheerfully, ushering me inside where Peggy and Eliza were painting nails as usual. "Hey guys.." I said with a small smile. Peggy looked up and grinned, "Hey John!" She greeted happily. "Hey!" Eliza said with a smile, looking up from doing Peggy's nails. 

 "So, what's up?" Angelica asked, sitting down in the swivel chair at a desk. "Well.. um.. how do I put this..?" He asked to mostly himself. He took a deep breath, then plopped down on the floor. "I need help.. I.. Think I might like a boy, and I'm really confused about it.." John fiddled with his thumbs, biting his cheek. He felt really nervous.

 The girls looked at each other, slightly excited. "A boy huh?" Eliza asked. "Uh.. Yeah.." John answered with a small voice. 

 Peggy mouthed a "Yes!" and punched the air above her. Angelica shook her head at her younger sister with a stern look, then softened once she turned to John. "Well.. There's lots of sexualitys that you could be.. Pansexual, Bisexual, Gay, Polysexual.. There's quite a lot." Angelica crossed on leg over the other, clasping her hands over her stomach. John nodded. "I've thought about it," He said with a silent sigh. 

 "Do you find interest in girls?" Eliza asked, finishing up Peggy's nails. They were bright purple. "Well, I haven't really seen many girls that I've found interest in, honestly.." John admitted, looking up from his hands. "What about Transexuals? Agenders?" Peggy asked. "Uh.. I've never really met any.." John replied. Peggy nodded, pursing her lips in thought.

 "Have you considered just being straight out gay?" Angelica asked seriously. Peggy grimaced at the fact that her sister used "Straight" and "Gay" in the same sentence. "Well, I have thought about it, but I'm not really sure.." John sighed, then continued. "All I know is that I do like boys.." he trailed off. Angelica nodded. "Okay.. Well then. I'm pretty sure you're gay.." She said with a smile. 

 Peggy looked at John excitedly. Eliza clapped. "Congratulations, John!" Eliza said happily with a sweet smile. Peggy wiped a fake tear. "I'm so proud!" She placed a hand over her heart. John chuckled at this. "I'm so glad, Mom!" John said jokingly, the four laughing afterwards. 

  "Now, you simply must let me pain those nails again!" Peggy exclaimed with a fake posh accent. "Why, of course!" John replied with a giggle. "What color, good sir?" 

 "Green!" John began to think.

 Now, how do I tell Alex?..
