Strawberry Blonde

As Laurence walked away one of the cheerleaders spoke.
" Ya know he's kind of cute, like in a sexy mysterious pirate kind of way."

Charolette laughed at her but it only enraged me.

" Yeah he's cute I guess, but nothing comes close to my hubs Hassan." She said gleaming at me.

I've never been so disgusted in my life.

I gave her a fake smirk squeezing her hand.

" Ow !" She yelled taking it back rubbing it.

" Sorry...must not know my own strength." I said coldly looking at my sandwich.

" Jeez you two save it for the after party will ya ?" One of the jocks who I think was named Bryan said.

Charolette took my thumb and placed it on my phone to unlock it before snatching it completely.

" What're you–

" Relax, I'm putting my number in !" She said handing it back.

Cherry with a three red hearts was saved into my contacts.

I know people can't turn you, but good lord I felt myself getting gayer by the second. Actually Laurencesexual if anything.

I peaked over to him at his table and we caught each other's eyes.

I gave him a guilty look and he put his head back into his book.

I sighed tuning back into the popular kids conversation.

" So what's your number Jules ?" One of the guys asked.

" Only three." She responded

" Really ? What about you know who ?" Charolette asked.

" Yeah I lied about that one..." The girl admitted taking a sip of her water bottle.

" Hey how about you Hassan, how many people have you done it with ?" A random guy asked.

Everyone's eyes glued to me. Usually in a situation like this I'd freak out from the pressure but I was too angry and confused to feel worry.

" One." I said calmly.

They started laughing as I looked around with a straight face kind of confused.

" A hot guy like you has only ever done it once ? Was it like some girl you thought was going to be your soulmate till you moved here ?" Charolette asked.

" Actually yeah, we broke up before I knew I was leaving though." For once I didn't lie to build a fake image of myself.

I really wasn't a virgin. My current best friend and former ex girlfriend Kera was my first ever. She's the only reason I know I'm not gay. Oh my god I'm bi !? That's it !

A tap on my shoulder caught my attention as everyone else grew tense.

" Oh hey coach how are you ?" I asked looking up at him.

" I need to talk to you for a second sport." He said walking back to the lunchrooms exit.

Thank god an escape !

" Welp sorry guys but duty calls." I said grabbing my half eaten sandwich and lunch bag.

We walked outside into the hallway and as the door closed the roars of the lunch room became muffled background noise.

" So what's up coach ?"

He put his hands on my shoulder looking into my eyes.
" Please for the love of god don't get drunk tomorrow !"

" What ?"

" Look I know the Halloween parties are tomorrow and you young people are going to do some stuff but our final game for states is Friday and there was rumors of a drug test supposedly happening this week."

I looked at him puzzled.
" You think I'm one of these hooligans ?" I said laughing

" Of course not but I know peer pressure is a real thing. So I'm just begging you. Make the right choice son." He said letting go of my shoulders patting one.

Make the right choice...

I need to tell Laurence how feel.
