Horrible Human Beings

SUBJECTS

According to society there are seven kinds of pariahs in the world.

 

Politics, people that don’t pay taxes, drug addicts, clowns –yeah everybody hates clowns-, robbers, rapists and in the top of the list gay people and by gay people I mean the whole LGBT community but everything was about to change. Have you ever had this feeling that you might be the epicenter of the apocalypse?

 

Well I had, we were going to make the whole world to crumble by giving them a new kind of people to hate, themselves. There isn’t a better way to make people freak out than make them realize that they probably are what they hate most and that is what horrible human beings project was about, to make them pay for being so mean with gay people, especially the guys that started all this.

I didn’t tell Charlie about my plan because I knew he was going to start yelling at me about how wrong my idea for cinematography class was so I kept it in secret from him at least in the beginning. The betches came back to the town the next morning after I started planning everything, we were going to meet right after winter break to start with the strategy.

I spent the rest of the winter break at my room, writing for myself the whole Stikey story and highlighting every little detail that seemed important to analyze how it affected my relationship with Steve taking us both to where we ended. I knew Steve loved me, I mean he even said it and the way he reacted to my letter by giving it to his friends only proved my point, he was in love with me and he totally freaked out because he was afraid of his feelings so he gave my letter to them, I was sure he was going to tell me he was in love with me in our anniversary when he never came, and then he handed his friends the letter and thought he could get away with it, oh how wrong he was!

The plan was simple, for my documentary project the betches and I were going to take these boys that fitted Steve’s profile and expose them in Mr. Perry’s class and I don’t know maybe I could upload the video on YouTube too, I would give a liver for watching Steve’s and his friends faces when they saw the video it would definitely make them pay back for everything they did to me.

My mood rose, I mean I wasn’t crying in the corners anymore and instead kept a smile on my face always! My family noticed the change in me especially my mom that for some reason seemed pretty preoccupied, maybe she was afraid I might have someone in my life, but I didn’t care what they though, I was happy truly happy for what I was going to do and the impact it might have in the world. Charlie liked to see me smile again and I couldn’t thank him enough for what he did, yeah I now I was mad at him at the beginning of the bizarre road trip but things turned out fine at the end, it helped me realize that I wasn’t alone that I never was, that out there gay kids from all the world were having the same issues than I, that people were being rude to them, bullying them for the only reason of being alive, for existing, how can you hate someone without know them? It’s funny but it seems like that is the way the world works.

That trip changed something inside me, it gave me new reasons to live and something in what believe, the idea of telling the rest of the gays in the world that they weren’t alone that many others were coming through the same issues made me feel powerful, made me feel that I was doing something meaningful with my life, and now the betches and I were an order, the avengays like a support group with the exception that we were really going to do something about our problems, we were going to tell people hey assholes here we are! And were not as different as you think!

Sunday before of the end of the winter break I went into Charlie’s home for the drive back college, I said good bye to my parents and got into the car, Charlie’s mom baked some cupcakes for us and I spent the whole trip eating them up and smearing Charlie’s face with frosting every time I tried to feed him with them while he drove, I laughed so hard! It was like the old times though he was pretty quiet in the way back but he smirked once or twice while I showed them the pictures Liam took of me high in the bouncy castle.
