Ambivalent: Having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about something
or someone
Troye knew he was gay, he questioned it in sophomore year of high school and then came out about it in junior year. He was nervous, but it wasn't the biggest deal to him. Well, not until it became the biggest deal for everyone else. His entire junior year he was bullied, mocked, and beaten for his homosexuality by people at his school. Finally, he had enough. When his dad had to move to America for reasons concerning his job, Troye decided he had to start over.
Senior year of high school, and Troye was well known, but not necessarily popular. Not just that, but he was straight as a pole. He refused to believe he was truly gay, "it was just a phase". He not only had to insist this to himself, but to his family.
Problem is, just a few months in, his friend group molds with the another group, and within that group is the gayest boy in the school. Tyler Oakley.
Tyler views Troye as a rude and moronic, utterly homophobic teenage boy.
Troye views Tyler as a flamboyantly gay, obnoxious, not-worth-his-time teenage boy.
But as Troye is always surrounded by him, he constantly has to shut down his feelings and remind himself, he is not gay.
Warning: Definitely homophobic slurs and possibly violence (possibly not)
I thought of this homophobic Troye story because I read Denial by wattpad user Saaachie. Check it out! It hasn't been updated in months, but it is different from what I picture for this story.
