Michael's POV:
School had ended and Christine and I had decided to work on our history project at my place.
"We just have to drop off Jeremy on the way!" I told Christine before we reached my car. Once Jeremy was dropped off, we continued to drive to my place. I knew my mom wouldn't be home for another 5 hours, which gave Christine and I plenty of time to work in the living room.
"You hungry?" I asked her, already on my way to the kitchen.
"I thought you'd never ask!" She replied excited, and I chuckled. I made us some toast and then we got to work.
"So I was thinking," she started off, her mouth full of food. It was kind of adorable. "We have to preform something, a scene, a song, anything, about one of America's founding fathers right?" She continued and I nodded. "Why don't we chose Alexander Hamilton?? I mean, I bet there's nobody else in our class that'll pick him!" She finished off, her eyes glowing and it was visible that she really liked this Alexander dude.
"Sure, why not?" I agreed. "What do you suggest we do then?" I asked her, kinda curious as to what her answer was since I hadn't heard of this man before either.
"Okay so there's this whole musical about him! It's written by Lin Manual Miranda and it's amazing! It's two hours but I thought we could just do like a couple of the songs! You could play Alexander, since you're the boy and all, and I could play Eliza Schuyler, his wife who he cheats on with her own sister and a woman named Maria!" She suggested, it was a pretty good idea I'll admit but I just had one problem.. I sang like a goose.
"Sounds awesome but I can't sing.."
"Oh sweetheart don't worry, it's a rap musical, you'll do great! Now let's just listen to it first and then we can pick the songs!" She put on the whole musical, I'll admit it was pretty amazing, and Christine knew all of the songs two which impressed me.
Once the musical was over it was nearly 7pm, but my mom wouldn't be home for another few hours anyway..
"Isn't it amazeballs?!"
I chuckled. "Yeah it is Christine, it's a great idea you've got!"
"I know right?! Okay so enough of that project, we have next week to finish it, I wanna get to know you!" She told me, very straight forward.
"Umm there isn't much to know really, my name is Michael Mell, I'm 17, I'm half Filipino, I love reggae music and old school games like pac man, and my best friends name is Jeremy! That's about it I think.." I told her truthfully. I didn't really know what answer she was looking for but she didn't seem satisfied.
"Are you gay?" She asked me bluntly, which startled me quite a bit.
"W-what?! No, I'm not, I like girls!" I answered her, what was that for kind of question to ask? Of course I wasn't gay!
"Who was your last girlfriend??" She asked curiously.
"It-I-um-.." I realized I'd never had a girlfriend before..
"Who was your latest female crush then??" She pushed. Why was my sexuality so important to this girl?
"I- um.. I.." I stuttered, why couldn't I remember? Surely I must've had at least one!
"Exactly! Michael you need to be honest with yourself!"
"I am!" I was, wasn't I?? I couldn't be gay! Could I..? That's where it all clicked.
"Holy shit.."
"What??"
"I think I'm gay.."
