"Moze," Ned started, closing the locker in front of him and turning his face to his best friend, Jennifer 'Moze' Mosely who was still fighting with her locker, "I've something to tell you…" he continued. Moze gulped. Jennifer Mosely, are you actually expecting him to confess his feelings for you or are you just being over imaginative because what you're into now is like from a cheesy romantic movie? What the heck? Seriously Moze, get a grip on yourself! She cleared her thought after. "What's up?" She replied to Ned. After a while of silence, it was Ned who cleared his throat and said:

"I'm gay."

No whirlwinds of some sort, or a ball of dust rolling and becoming ten times the size of a basketball. Moze just stood there, a little dumbfounded. And like a comic, Moze's jaw dropped. "What?"

"I'm gay. Do I have to repeat it over and over again?" Ned said to her. His expression was unreadable. It was just… blank. When he said it, it didn't sound convincing at all, pretty much just a statement and it didn't sound like a confession too. Moze remembered that when someone tells the truth, he/she will always look you in the eye, and in this situation, Ned did. Moze thought she'd drown in his blue eyes.

She laughed suddenly. They still had a few minutes before homeroom would start. "I'm not in the mood for your 'funny' jokes right now Ned." Moze replied as she stuffed some notebooks inside her locker and closed it.

"I mean it Moze. I'm not lying." He said, in a voice almost like a whisper. Moze rolled her eyes when Cookie's voice was heard.

"Hey guys!" Cookie greeted them. Ned and Moze didn't return the greeting to him. Ned just stared at Moze when she turned to Cookie.

"Ned's says he's gay." Moze said to Cookie. Just like her first reaction, his jaw almost dropped.

"You're kidding, right?" Cookie asked Moze, then Ned, but Ned just shook his head.

"No way!" Cookie blurted out. Ned's face was totally serious. Judging from the sound and intensity of Cookie's voice, Moze could tell this was no joke at all. Where's that darn guidebook when you need it? Moze thought.

"Come on Cookie. It's just Ned being insanely paranoid. Maybe he accidentally bumped on some guy yesterday and they ended up being and an awkward position, and let's say, Ned got this funny feeling and later on became one of his paranoia. Now, let's go to class, shall we?" Moze said, grabbing Ned's hand and saying her goodbyes to Cookie as she dragged him to homeroom class which they had together that year.

They arrived five minutes earlier and were the only ones in the classroom. Students would normally arrive with only a minute to spare. When they were seated, both were just silent. A tension building up. Neither one had the courage to speak first. Ned's desk was two chairs in front of Moze. She just observed him from her seat.

I wonder what he's thinking… Hmm… I wonder what's in his head too. Why the heck did he suddenly say he's gay??? Moze spent the rest of the remaining four minutes staring at Ned's back when the bell rang and students came rushing in, as well as their homeroom teacher, Ms. Andrews.

The rest of the period was boring as usual. Moze almost dozed off when Loomer threw a ball of paper at her, thus waking her up from her daydreams.

For the rest of the day, Ned avoided Moze and Cookie. Moze thought that maybe Ned was really telling the truth, but then again, maybe he's just paranoid. She was bothered by the fact that Cookie didn't seem to be shaken by this. Their other friends were surprised that the trio weren't together that day. Moze did notice some changes in her best friend's attitude that day. It wasn't gayish or anything though. Just that something was different about him.

Moze's mom fetched her that day since she wanted her to help with buying the groceries. As her mom started the engine, Moze leaned against the window and looked at Ned who leaning against a tree outside Polk Middle School, gazing at the clear blue sky.

Is he really telling the truth?

Is he really… gay?
