How do you tell if someone is gay? Well some people have the special ability to use what is called a gaydar, which can pinpoint signs or mannerisms that can determine if another is in fact gay. My name is Mason Lux, and I'm the 'gay best friend' of the queen bee of high school, Gabriella Grace, aka Gabby. Along with our other best friend Emily, we are called the GEM(s), the s is silent. Rulers of the school through gossip and drama, we are either adored and hated, there is no in between.
While being popular is fun and all, there's something that it doesn't bring you, love - at least for me. Gabby on the other hand could get a boyfriend with the snap of her fingers, and the same goes for Emily. My love life is as dry as the Sahara, and I'm a little bitter about it.
Until one day, Caspian Rose, the most attractive jock in this whole damn school, comes up to me. Never did I think the day would come where I'd talk to him, is this one of my dreams or fantasies? My heart beating fast, my face as red as a tomato. In his raspy voice he asks me - 'could you help me get Gabby to date me?'
Oh how wonderful, finally my dream starts happening only for me to be pulled down to reality once again. After all, I'm the gay best friend, and the closest to Gabby (sorry Emily). What do I do? Tell him off and say I'm not a charity - haha as if! He's too perfect to turn down, looks like I'm in for quite the job.
In exchange for helping Caspian date Gabby, he promises to get me a boyfriend. Claiming he has a 'gaydar' despite being a straight boy, which I highly doubt, especially since I don't have one. I can't tell who's gay and who isn't unless they're open about it. At this point I'll do whatever to find a boyfriend. Welcome to my crazy and desperate life!
"Asad?" I called.
He carried a covered tray towards the bed.
"Good morning"
'Is this a dream or what' I whispered to myself.
He opened the top tray, revealing what was covered. It was tea and French bread with scrambled eggs.
I tried to recall what happened yesterday but I couldn't focus.
"Asad?, why am I here?" I asked.
"I had a fight with someone molesting you, you probably going to be ged rapped, and you were unconscious and drunk. I decided to take you to my house since it's already late" he explained.
"Asad, I'm sorry" I begged giving him an innocent look.
"No, why should you be, after all you have been through, for the lost of your parents, and everything, you deserve better and what are you doing at a gay bar?" he asked.
"I wanted a part time job just to raise money to help my siblings" I answered.
"I thought it was just a silly crush, but it turned into more. I'm sorry, I know you don't feel the same about me I don't want this to ruin our friendship, but I just had to tell you...."
