The Good, The Bad, and The Dirty

I Can't Be Gay

June Age 7

"GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE BOY! YOUR MOTHER HAS SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU!" Pete screamed at the small six year old child. Phil slowly walked over, trying his hardest not to cry.

"Pete please don't scream at-"

"Shut up woman! Just tell the boy the name." Pete said.

"N-Name?" Phil whispered.

"Yes son. The gender of the baby is a girl! And we decided to name her..Cassie. Do you like it son?" Linda asked slowly.

"Who cares if the little shit likes it or not!" Pete screamed.

"I'm sure Cassie will be a great sister mum.." Phil said, careful not to get screamed at. "I have to go..I'm spending the week at Dan's house. Since school is out.." Phil said and started walking away but got a smack to his head.

"Who said you could?" Pete asked.

"Mum..Dan's here bye!" Phil said and ran out the door before Pete could stop him.

•

"I can't believe he's back in your life.." Dan said, teary eyed.

"It's okay..I don't have to see him for a week! Yay!" Phil said and kissed Dan's cheek. Dan blushed and giggled.

"I wish you'd never see him again. Oh! I just remembered I'm hanging out with Sophia today. Do you want to come? I could be like..what's it called..wing man I think?" Dan said.

"Oh..Sure." Phil said, slightly bummed about hanging out with Sophia. It's not that Phil didn't like her, he thought she was a fine person, it's just that he'd rather spend his time with Dan.

•

"Hey Dan! Oh, hey Phil." Sophia said a bit surprised Phil was here.

"Yeah I brought Philly along because he's amazing to hang out with. You two should get to know eachother better!" Dan said. The two nodded and started playing at the park, Sophia's mom watching them.

"Isn't Philly just the greatest?" Dan said and Sophia carefully nodded.

"Yeah he's pretty cool." Sophia said as the three kids sat on the swings, with Dan in the middle.

"I mean he just has the prettiest blue eyes and soft lips." Dan said and Phil blushed a bit.

"How do you know if Phil has soft lips?" Sophia asked confused.

"I've had my finger touched them before and they were soft! Right Philly?" Dan asked.

"Y-Yeah.." Phil said while giggling, a light blush spread across his face.

"Okay..Well Dan, you also have really deep brown eyes! It makes you so handsome!" Sophia said.

"Handsome? Dan is pretty." Phil said.

"Pretty? Only girls can be pretty silly.." Sophia said awkwardly and Dan looked down a bit sadly.

"If that's true then how can Dan be so pretty? He has beautiful brown eyes, pretty pink lips, soft curly brown hair, and gorgeous tan skin. He's my pretty pri-" Phil started to say but Dan quickly put his hand over Phil's mouth.

"Thanks for hanging out with me Sophia but we have to go bye!" Dan said quickly and dragged Phil away.

•

"Why would you do that!" Dan scolded and Phil looked at him confused.

"What do you mean?" Phil asked.

"If you continued on Sophia would've though we were..gay.."Dan said awkwardly.

"Oh.." Phil said looking down.

"Don't get me wrong I don't have a problem with gays! It's just that if you want Sophia to like you than you have to at least have her think you like girls and not guys silly!" Dan said and Phil nodded.

"Okay." Phil said, not really caring about Sophia liking him or not. Phil knew he wouldn't be able to pretend to have a crush on Sophia, but he just wasn't ready to tell Dan about if he thinks he likes him, he doesn't think he's gay. No, Phil can't be gay.

Right?

Guys I know this story is going slowly. But I swear once they turn 8 and the yikes chapter happens, shit goes down, just be patient please. Also I chose the name Cassie because my ex-bestfriend has a transgender sister who's name is Cassie.
