That One Straight Friend

Many people talk about "That One Gay Friend", and well, I'm "That One Straight Friend".

I'm Harriet, according to my birth certificate. I'm a good person, a strange, eccentric one, but I am a good person. Life is kinda boring, but also kinda cool in my opinion. I mean I have great friends who fit into all aspects of the LGBTIQ+ spectrum- at a Catholic school- and a great 90's Madonna playlist, but I also have friends who are a tad broken (maybe more than a tad) and people who are questioning their feelings, and sexuality.

You see, there's Sam and Ellie, long-time friends, both bi. They kinda like each other but they also don't want to tell each other, which is super fun because they both tell me and I basically become that side friend in the Rom-com. And Ellie's boyfriend is also an issue in the way of the whole crushing scheme.

Then there's Ashley who has a problem with everything, everyone, and can't decide on her sexuality. We're as close as can be- but something has changed. We're lucky if she even turns up at school or picks up the phone when we call or text her.

There's also Lissa, the silent lesbian who gives free pizza (amazing), Gabrielle, the goddess who was a guy once, and Keith, the Queen.
