I'm a Big Fat Gay

Hello, I'm Gay.

Hi, I'm Liam Erickson. You're average high school student who's going to college next year, and then law school. Yeah, that's right. I'm going to be a lawyer!
   "Liam? You okay? You've been spacing out a lot lately," my friend, Jackie, said.
   "What? O-oh, yeah! Yeah, I'm fine," I replied, looking for him.
   "Liam!" Frank, my other friend, said, snapping his fingers infront of my face. I didn't respond, just continued to look for him. Frank followed my gaze. "Watcha lookin' for?"
   "Not what. Who," I corrected.
   "Okay, then who are you looking for?"
   "Somebody."
   Another one of my friends, Charlie, snorted. "No, really? I thought you were looking for a rock!"
   I rolled my eyes. "Shut up," I said.
   "Just be more specific," Paige, the last of our little group, said.
   "Fine. I'm looking for my crush," I said, mumbling the last part.
   "Your what?" Charlie smirked.
   I sighed. "My crush."
   "I bet it's Bella!" Jackie exclaimed.
   "No way, it's definatley Veronica," Frank countered. They all discussed who my crush could be.
   Or it could be Cory Evans, I thought. Crap, he was hot. Especially with his tousled hair and his chisled face and his sparking teal eyes and his- Liam! Stop! That's enough! You are a hopeless idiot to think you stood a chance with him! He's probably straight, anyways! He probably doesn't even know you exist! He---
   My little rant was interrupted by Frank snapping fingers in my face again. "Dude, are you sure you're okay? You literally spaced out for five minutes! And you almost walked into a tree!"
   "Sorry. I guess I'm just a little of it today," I said.
   "A little?" Charlie said, laughing.
   "Yeah, but I'm fine now. It won't happen aga---" I stopped mid-sentence. There was Cory coming towards us, but why?
   "Um, why is Mr. Popular coming towards us?" Paige whispered to me. I shrugged in response.
   "Hey Frank!" Cory said. They fist bumped. "Ready for practice on Thursday, dude? First one of the season."
   "Totally!"
   "Sweet! Smell ya later." And with that, Cory ran off.
   Charlie looked at Frank to the fading figure of Cory and back to Frank. "What just happened?" he said.
   Jackie just shrugged. Paige, on the other hand, exclaimed, "You never told us you were on the football team!"
   "Well, the season just started so..." Frank trailed off, while scratching the back of his neck awkwardly.
   I blinked. Then I smiled to myself. Frank and Cory were both on the football team. Had I just found a way to get closer to Cory?
