Without any warning or hesitation he got up from the couch, moving to stand in front of me. I sat up watching in pure curiosity. And then he got down on one knee.

Sodapop's P.O.V
I still can't believe it. Denial still wanted to take my mind as a hostage.
And I have work tonight with him. I think I may just fall over and die. There were a million other questions rolling in my head, do I like all boys? Or just one? Do I still like girls? There was a name for people who like people of the same gender, I couldn't remember what it was.
I thought about this while in the shower that morning. Once I was done and I got dressed, I went downstairs to find Dally and Two watching T.V and Darry in the kitchen washing the counter. I figured if anyone could answer my questions, Darry could.
"Hey Dar?"
"Yea kiddo?"
"I got a question, and don't laugh at it but I was wondering," Damn why am I so nervous? "Uh-um," I swallowed hard. "What do you call a guy who likes other guys?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like a boy who would, y'know, date another boy?"
"You mean someone who is gay?"
That's the word! He then turned around from the counter to face me.
"What are you askin' for?"
"Uh," My heart felt like I would explode, "Got a joke going with Steve, anyways thanks for answering."
I started to feel hot, so I walked outside on the front porch to get some cool air. I've heard that word before but it wasn't ever used nicely.
Gay. Gay. G-A-Y. Oh gay. I'm gay. I am gay.
Wow it felt so weird to say that, even if it's just in my head.
