The Emoji Love Story

1

It was another school year another me. Junior Year time to finally figure out who I am. Time to realize what the hell is going on with me. I have this sort of confusion with myself. I have this sorta problem of being too emotional that I can't control. I like to express my emotion so much that it hurts sometimes.

Recently though I have been having trouble in the love department. It is not that I don't feel it. I feel it very much. Almost too much. But, that's besides the point. I love my family my friends. I have an amazing life yet I don't know why I am so confused in this department.

I have had crushes but, that are different from other guys's crushes. They are always boys.

I can't really layout my feelings. I just feel this really good way when I am with a guy I like. I feel happy when I have a crush so huge but, also sad at the same time. I know they probably don't like me back.

There are alot of openly gay people at my school actually. There is Rainbow, she is awesome. Even gay couples out there. It is not that I would be hated if I came out as gay. I know my friends and family will still accept me but, I don't know if I'm ready to come out.

I was getting ready for school. Currently though I was trying to find my yellow shirt with the green stripes on it. I finally found it under my bed. I ran down the stairs to see my loving mom cooking egg and my dad reading a newspaper at the table.

"Are you excited, Gene," my mom asked in her monotone voice. Her and my dad had the same monotone voice. It didn't get to me though. I did inherit Mom's blonde hair and Dad's green eyes.

"Not really," I groaned laying my head down at the table.

"Cheer up," my dad consoled. "You have friends at that school right? Like, that blue haired girl, what's her name?"

"Jailbreak," I laughed.

"That's a weird name."

"Yeah, yeah it is. Well, I have to get to school," I said while picking up my backpack. "So who is dropping me off today?" I ask while getting up.

"Me today," my dad said picking up his keys.

"Bye, Mom." I kissed her cheek and went off with my dad.

...
I am still sitting at my dad's red truck. I'm about to get off until, my dad stops me.

"Gene, I just want to say that you do the best you can," he says it in his monotone voice. I know there's love in it though.

"Okay. Bye Dad, love you," I said getting off. I watch the truck go off.

I walked to the junior section at my school to see familiar people and some new people. Some people were acting like they haven't seen each other in ages.

Hey, Gene!" I heard.

I turned around to see my best friend, Jailbreak. Her actual name is Princess but, she likes to go as Jailbreak. She was in her usual grunge clothing and her messy blue hair. Does she ever brush her hair? She was really pretty even though I'm not attracted towards her.

"Hey, how was your summer?" I said. I held out my fist for her to bump it.

"Nothing much," she said "Oh Shit."

"What?"

I look at her direction to see Smiler. Like her name she was this always happy girl that was too annoying. She was in her cheerleader uniform and was talking to some AV football players.

"She is such an annoying bitch," Jailbreak said.

I rolled my eyes. Jailbreak has hated her since middle school. She held a huge grudge to her.

"She is so annoying and so peppy!" she said in disgust.

I laughed at her commentary.

"Oh no she is coming over to us."

"Hello, Gene and Coraline," Jailbreak put on a fake smile. "How was your summer? Mine's was perfect. Oh I tanned alot at the beach and I met the cutest guys," she gushed.

"That's uh great," I said awkwardly

"Yeah terrific," Jailbreak muttered sarcastically.

"Did you hear? There is a new cute boy in school he might even be QB."

My interest suddenly perk up. "Uh no, d-do you know w-what is his name?"

"Something like Hi-Five or like that. Heart eyes was the one who told me but, you know how she is. She finds everyone cute."

"Why are you here?" asked Jailbreak who was clearly annoyed.

"Well, I just wanted to talk to you guys. Is that so bad, Princess," she smirked. Smiler was clearly getting under Jailbreak's skin. She hated being called by her real name.

Jailbreak's face was turning red. She was clenching her teeth and hands. "Fuck you, Smiler," she yelled pushing her.

"How dare you, Bitch," Smiler was about to tackle her until this strong guy showed up pulling her away.

"Smiler calm down," he said. I finally got to get a good look at him. He was absolutely breathtaking. He had these blue eyes that I can swim and brown hair that I just want to put my hand through. He was looking at me. "Hi I'm Hi-five," he smiled putting his hand out.

So, this was Hi-five. "H-hi I'm G-Gene. T-that's a r-really cool name."

He laughed the most amazing laugh. "Thanks." He was still holding back Smiler and Jailbreak was flipping Smiler off. She was laughing so hard.

"Uh, I'll t-take her away," I awkwardly laugh.

"Yeah, that'll be good," he laughed. "Nice meeting you Gene."

I was in love with the way he said my name. I held Jailbreak by her shoulders and she was complaining to me. I took her to my locker.

"No take me back, I need to see her face."

"Calm down, Jail. Don't provoke her, she-devils like that."

"God why does every guy fall in love with her. I bet that dumb likes her already."

I awkwardly laugh. My face was heating up again.

"Thank god you don't like her." She put her head on my shoulder. "God, I bet her and that football for a brain guy will date then break up."

"Yeah, I bet so." I pray to the Lord that he is at least a little bit attracted to guys because I can't stop thinking about him. I want to get to know, Hi-five.
