I meet Stacey at Starbucks after school is over.The place is packed with unrested college students,including myself. After Stacey and I order our caramel frappes,we take a seat at a table for two and I pull out my laptop.

"Homework already?"Stacey asks taking a sip of her frappe. "Uh- n-no"I say as I stutter hiding the truth from Stacey. "What is it?"Stacey asks as she gently turns the laptop around with the webcam facing her. "Were you going to record something?" Stacey asks making silly faces into the camera. "Yes"I say truthfully. "What are these?" Stacey asks once I realized she exited from the webcam and made her way onto my gallery . "Nothing!"I say hurriedly snatching my laptop from Stacey's presence. "Chill out" Stacey says with a laugh before taking another sip of her frappe.

"Sorry" I apologize. "Are you hiding something?" Stacey asks twirling her finger and squinting her eyes. "Maybe. Maybe not" I say giving an untruthful answer.

Truth is I don't want Stacey finding out what I do,she'll probably think her best friend is a weirdo.

"ET come on,it's me.Stacey baby" she says making me laugh. " I can't ,you're going to think I'm weird" I admit. "You're already weird" Stacey says jokingly as I let out a giggle.

"Fine"I say releasing a sigh and rolling my eyes. "I make videos"I say knowing I should've went more in depth. Stacey raises an eyebrow and mimics throwing up. "Ewe no,not like that"I correct. "I made videos of myself talking,just about my day or my life. I like to pretend I have fans and I just speak into my webcam" I let out. "Hey,that's actually a good idea" Stacey says surprisingly. "Really?" I ask not believing her . "Yeah. Except it doesn't make you weird,just a psycho" Stacey says playfully. "Shut up"I say in response.

"So. You heard about the spirit week?" Stacey asks . "Yeah"I simply respond. "They all sound whack. Except Coachella day! We're so showing out that day" Stacey demands. "Got it"I say dryly. "What's up with you?" Stacey asks catching on to the tone in my voice.

"I'm not sure, just gayly sad I guess" I say leading to Stacey giggling. "Did you know they crown you for being gay?"I say getting close to Stacey and lowering my voice. "It's college,of course. Why? Are you scared to be crowned or something?"Stacey assumes. "No,not at all"I lie. "I'm sure your parents would hang your crown on their wall if you did"Stacey says as she winks and smiles at the same time.

Stacey doesn't know. She doesn't know I haven't told my parents about my sexuality. As far as she knows,I had a talk with him my mom and my mom explained it to my dad and they both accepted me. I lied to Stacey because I was scared and didn't want her pressuring me. I almost went through with it and told my parents but something held me back. The words got stuck in my throat and wouldn't come out.
