I was taking my first steps through the iron gates of my new high school, trying to act as normal as possible to hide my nervousness.
I could already feel all the eyes on me, judging my very existence, even though they basically knew nothing about me.
I kept my head down. I didn't want to look weak, but it was a habit I developed while walking on the street. Visual contact was never something I fancied, so I tried my best to avoid it.
I pushed the hair out of my face and a shiver ran up my spine as I thought about what reactions I was going to witness once they all found out I was actually a boy wearing girls' clothes, aka a loose white shirt and a brown skirt.
Whispers could be heard everywhere around me. I knew they were all talking about me, the new kid.
I kept walking, but I still wasn't in front of the school building. It was a long way, it seemed. But out of nowhere, I felt someone block my way. I raised my head and saw a seriously handsome boy- Damn, if he asked me to be his boyfriend right then I would have accepted. He had dark hair, messy enough for it to look good. His eyes were also dark and they had this deepness to them, it was something I couldn't fully understand in the few seconds I made eye contact.
"I've never seen you before. Who are you?" he asked, forcing me to look at him.
There we go, I thought. My voice was going to ruin everything.
"I... I'm Felix. I'm new"
As expected, his eyes widened and he looked to his right, as if to ask his friends, I suppose, if he heard right.
Then, he looked back at me and took a step backwards, crossing his arms.
"So you're one of those guys, huh?" now he had a smirk on his face, one that I felt didn't belong on his face.
I simply shrugged and tried to get across him. I knew what was coming and I wanted to get away. But he stopped my with his hand and I cursed under my breath.
"Why are you leaving so soon? I didn't even introduce myself yet" the smirk from earlier wouldn't budge. That was a really bad sign.
I took a deep breath. "Then introduce yourself already, I have stuff to do" I was proud of myself for the attitude, even if I wasn't looking at him while talking.
"Woah, you're a mean one, I see..."
I wanted to contradict him, but I decided it was better to shut up. And wait for him to continue.
"Well, whether you care or not, even though you should, I'm Hwang Hyunjin. You would have found out sooner or later anyway since I'm kind of the most popular kid but you had the honor of having me introduce myself" he chuckled, but I was left unimpressed.
"Okay, now I'll go" I stepped aside, ready to go, but once again that annoying Hyunjin grabbed my arm.
"Hey, one last question"
I sighed and gestured for him to talk.
"Are you gay?"
And with that, everybody around me started laughing for some reason. Why did they find it so comical?
"And what if I am? What are you, a 5 years old making gay jokes? It's my business if I like guys or not, so leave me alone" I snapped, shaking his hand off me and storming towards the entrance of the building.
