"NO!" I said to Marianna while sitting on the bed talking to her "nothing like that happened." "You're no fun" she jokes "come on Judicorn; we both know what happened between you and Conner at the movies" "What! How do you know what happened!" I exclaim "I was there" she says and pausing when realizing that I want answers and she soon complies by stating "do you seriously think moms would let you go on a 'group date' unsupervised but I can't say I'm not surprised, I thought you would be making out with the girl next to you, not holding hands with your best friend." "I was scared it was completely platonic" I defend; she replied "it was a chick flick." Damn I forgot what kind of movie it was I wasn't paying much attention to it I mostly focusing on Conn… wait what am I thinking it couldn't be that I like Conner, Like, Like like him he's straight and the captain of the junior boys baseball team he wouldn't like me.
"OK! I like Conner a lot more than my best friend and I don't think that he likes me back and I'm scared of what will happen if my class found out I know it's not a bad thing but I already get bullied enough and I'm overwhelmed blahblahblah" I ramble on "Jude, Jude!, JUDE!," she calms me down "listen I saw it all, it's obvious that he likes you he made the first move, remember" yeah I almost forgot maybe he likes me back I should ask him how he feels. "I should call him" I say seemingly say out the blue. And all of a sudden my phone rings and I see that it's Conner. "Hey Con," I say as pick up the phone "Hey Jude, I have something to say" Conner says nervously "so do I, but you go first," I responded, then Marianna makes some frantic hand motion to make me put it on speaker I soon comply "Jude I've been trying to say this for a while but I haven't known how to phrase this…" he pauses and Marianna starts screaming internally but making a little noise every once in a while, he continues "Jude I like you, more than just friends I don't know what this means, maybe I'm gay but if that means I get to be with you that's all I want to be ever. I don't care what my dad says he can stuff it but I know that I'm always happiest if you're with me a-and, and I-I love y-you Jude Jacob Adams Foster" he finishes a little out of breath; I can tell he just told me his deepest darkest secret.
I look over at Marianna her face is hilarious I juckle a little. She gestures me to continue so I do, I start laughing? That's laughing coming out of me? I hear little sobs on the other side of the phone I instantly hate myself for what I did. I here Conner start shaky "I-I knew y-you wouldn't l-l-like me back" the sobs continue "Conner" I start "I was laughing because I was just about to call you to tell you the exact same thing, listen Conner I have wanted this for the best part of the last year and I love you too!" there was a silence, then a sniffle and Conner saying "r-r-really?" "Of course Conner I've loved you ever since we met but I just denied it until now" I reply "do you think I could come over" he asks "sure I'll just have to ask my mom's" "ok I love you, bye" he says "ok love you too, bye" I say as I click end on the touch screen and Marianna and I look at each other and simultaneously start screeching.
"I guess you have to tell mom's you're gay" Marianna says "ok I'll go now" I stand up and make my way down stairs to see my mom's sitting on the couch watching T.V, I sit next to them and just say it "mom's I'm gay…" mom's basically say simultaneously "yes we know but we love you very much for telling us" "Ok… on a completely unrelated note can Conner come over?" I ask, Lena replies "yeah sure but you have to have your door open, we know you to are dating" "What!? How!?" I say dumb struck Stef responds "you could hear the screaming halfway to Mars," we all started laughing.
