The Gay Twist

Chapter one

She was walking down the hallway with Cale. At the time I was so sure it was him I liked, not Shelby. We smiled as we passed each other. That's usually how it went. Sometimes we would say hi. When Shelby wasn't with Cale I would sometimes give him a hug.

"Do you still like him," my best friend Ellie asked.

I shrugged my shoulders," Honestly I don't think so."

I turned my head to look behind me. Shelby and I locked eyes for a second, she smiled a bit, and I turned back around.

"Lane said Shelby and Mary broke up! Can you believe it! Everyone was so shocked! Did you hear about it Charlotte," Sydney asked.

I shook my head. I only knew about the schools drama when I heard other peoples conversations or when Sydney and I were on talking terms.

Sydney and I were best friends, until I told her about my depression. She said she didn't want to be worried about me, but we all knew. She didn't like when other people had problems. It had to be all about her or she wouldn't talk at all.

Natalie shook her head, she hated Sydney, and to be honest so did I.

"I'll see you guys later," I said walking into my class as they walked their way to theirs. I made my way to to the back of the class and sat down. I was early today, there was about 5 minutes till the late bell rung so I put my head down.

I heard someone sit down next to me, "Umm, Charlotte?"

I picked my head up and turned to look who sat next to me. I smiled when I noticed it was Shelby.

"Hi, its okay that I sit here right," she asked. I nodded my head.

Although we've gone to school together since the 6th grade this was the first time she actually talked to me. I had no idea what to say to her. I didn't want to ask about Mary. I wasn't that stupid. Luckily the bell rang at that moment and Mr. Kingston told every one to calm down. A few kids hurried in, Mr. Kingston didn't care if you were late, but he usually told us if their was something important coming up in the first few minutes.

"So, today, I'm giving you a free day since most of you are having that big test next Thursday. Feel free to study, go to the library, listen to music, talk. Do whatever, just make sure you talk to me before you leave the class," Mr. Kingston announced.

Most of the students got up either to leave class or to move seats. Others got out their phones, ear buds and a book. Luckily, I didn't have the test next Thursday. I took it last year.

"So do you have to take that test," Shelby asked. I didn't know she was still beside me, I thought she would have gone to the library.

I shook my head,"No," I said," I took it last year, you?"

She shook her head," I took it last year too. It was brutal. I barely made a B. What did you make?"

"I made an A. They thought I was cheating. I had to take it four times before they were convinced i didn't cheat," I said barely above a whisper.

She smiled," Your the one, the one who made a perfect score!"

I nodded my head.

We were quite for a few minutes.

I looked up at her to see her staring at me. I looked down but noticed something on her wrist. Identical to mine. Cuts ran up her arm.

She must have noticed my stares because she pulled her sleeves farther down. I looked at her again. I noticed the sadness in her big brown eyes.

"Its okay," I whispered," I do it too."

She gasped," But your so beautiful,why would you want to do that? I'm so sorry!"

She pulled me into a hug.

I sat there in shock for a minute the awkwardly patted her on the back.

She let me go," I wish I would have known."

I shook my head, only 3 people knew, well 4 now. But one left me when I told her, and the other 3 did it too.

I looked at her again, this time I noticed how beautiful she was, with long brown hair and big brown eyes. She didn't wear any makeup, but she didn't need it. She had thick black eyelashes, big pink lips, and perfect skin, no acne.

"Your beautiful," she said.

I shook my head," No I'm not. You are though."

She opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by Cale.

"Hey Shelby," he said sitting in front of her. She turned around and said hey back.

I could tell our conversation was over so I got up and grabbed my stuff.

"Charlotte," Shelby said grabbing my wrist," Where are you going?"

"I don't know," I answered honestly.

"Then stay here," she said in a duh tone still not releasing my wrist.

"Okay," I said sitting back down.

Cale smiled at me," How are you?"

"Im fine," I say earning myself a side ways glance from Shelby.

The intercom went off. "Mr. Kingston, Do you have Charlotte Homes," asked the office lady.

Mr. Kingston looked around until he spotted me. "Yes I do," he said.

"Can you send her to the main office for a moment please?"

"Of course," Mr. Kingston said then nodded at me.

"Shit. Shit. Shit," I whispered making Shelby and Cale look at me.

I got up, grabbed my stuff and waked to the office.

SHIT, I thought again.
