Zack was a straight guy with seven different exes and a current crush. He was a saxophone in band, and goofed around a lot in E.L.A with his friend, and crush, Megan.
Luke was also straight. He's had fewer girlfriends in the past, but the girls seemed to like him. Luke was on pretty much every sports team the school had, and loved basketball.
Megan was, unlike the others, currently in a lesbian relationship. She was Zack's best friend, and was fairly antisocial. She loved to ship people together in any gay way possible, and Zuke is her OTP (apart from her and her girlfriend).
One day in E.L.A, Zack catches Luke sneaking glances at him. At first, he thought nothing much of it, and turned it into a joke with him and Megan, but when word mysteriously got around about Zack and Luke dating, Luke went into outburst and demanded they stopped spreading rumors about him.
This got Megan and Zack thinking that Luke could ACTUALLY be gay. They concluded Luke was at least bisexual, but what about Zack?
Rumors is a LGBTQ+ story, touching topics of (obviously) LGBTQ+. Rumors is also told from a first person view of Zack. With all said, enjoy!
