Alone - 9

November 28, 2014

        So as we made our way to gym class I asked him

         “What was their deal?” I asked suddenly. It happened like 30 seconds ago.

        "They were just making fun of me.” He answered. The bell rang and we were late for class. Everyone in the hallway scattered into class leaving us alone in the hallway.

              “For what?” I asked still wondering what they know that I don’t.

              “Look you don’t know me fully. I have secrets that not many people know and I don’t tell everyone.” He answered sticking his hand at me and facing me while we were stopped. He starting walking away and I grabbed his arm.

              “Look, I will be your friend no matter the circumstances. Through anything I will be there for you and there’s nothing that will change that so will you please tell me.” I said and at this point I really just want to know but also want to get to class.

              “I don’t really feel comfortable talking about this” He said starting to walk away.

              I grabbed his arm and pulled him once more. “I don’t care what they are making fun of you for, they make fun of me. Remember when you were that person making fun of me for this nose piercing last year. Remember? Now please tell me and I can understand.” I explained really just wanting to smack him if he avoids the answer once more.

              “FINE OKAY I’LL TELL YOU.” He shouted in a voice but it wasn’t loud enough to disrupt the classes going on. “This isn’t easy to say since I just met you but” he was stalling even more time. “I think I may be bisexual.” He ran away after he said those words. I attempted to catch up with him but he’s a runner. Boy should he try out for the track team.
