Fletcher stared at the ground as he walked down the hall. He had never been humiliated like that before in his whole life. He invisioned the image in his head, for the 6th time.

Memory: Fletcher sat at his desk when a peice of paper hit his head. He unwrapped it and layed it down flat on his desk. It said "GAY" with an arrow pointing down. When he layed it down it looked like the arrow was pointing at him. Erica Daniels, the girl who sat next to her saw the paper and started to giggle. As she started to giggle, her friend looked over to see what she was laughing about, and she started laughing too. It wasnt long until the whole class was laughing and Fletcher was blushing, while hatred for his classmates was stirring up inside of him.

"-Hey Fletcher!" Fletcher's focus was cut off by someone, he turned to see who it was. It was his best friend, Alex. He was a medium-tall kid with barely-tan skin. His hair was brown and stuck up in the front. Fletcher always thought Alex was attractive, but he didn't want to go through life loving his best friend. Fletcher always enjoyed having Alex around, but today he was not in the mood. He snapped back into reality.

"Oh, hey Alex," Fletcher responded.

"What? Is something Wrong?" Alex stared at Fletcher confused.

"Well, it's just that I-"

"-hold on, dude! Here comes Maddy!" Fletcher was interrupted again, he turned to see what was so important. Alex stared as if he's been looking at a commercial for a new video game. Fletcher turned again and saw Maddy walk by. Maddy was a beautiful girl, and obviously Alex's crush. She had long, brown hair with a cute face that made huge dimples when she smiled. She has brown eyes that Alex always describes to "glitter every time I look at her!" Alex's eyes were now in a trance as he stared at the girl of his dreams. But Fletcher, on the other hand, was in deep thought. He's been thinking all day because of only one thing- he likes boys. He was always wondering why some kids dont like girls as much as others, but he never really understood. Maddy walked and Alec stared for what seemed like hours- even though it was only a few seconds. Maddy looked at Alex staring and immediately made a weird face that said- Stop staring at me, i really dont care if you like me, just get over me. I really want you out of my life! She put her hair behind her ear and started to walk faster until she was out of sight. Fletcher waved his hand infront of Alex's face, but Alex just kept staring... and drooling. Fletcher started to think more about how he's... He really doesnt like to say the word Fletcher and Gay in the same sentence. He always hated the word. He thought it gave people a free ticket to make fun of him. He's been confused as to why he like's boys instead of girls. He has never really liked a girl or a guy that way. He's never really felt that way about anyone, but all he did know was that he liked guys more than girls.

Alex had just gotten out of his trance," So, uh, what were you saying?"

Fletcher was annoyed already," Nevermind..." Fletcher just walked down the hall and into his next class. It was English, Fletcher's favorite subject. He was very smart and seemed to get good grades in almost every class. He sat through class with excitement as they talked about poetry. The bell rang and Alex yelled," RECESS!" and leaped out of the room. Fletcher walked outside as he looked for Alex. He took out his phone and began texting Alex- Where are y- before he could finish the text, his phone was swiped out of his hand. He looked with surprise as he saw what had just happened. A girl was running with his phone, laughing and yelling," COME AND GET IT, NERD!" He knew who that was as soon as he heard her. It was Amanda, the class bully. He always wondered why a girl was the class bully, probably because her boyfriend was another class bully.

Fletcher ran after Amanda as she ran and mocked. Until he heard a voice from behind him," Fletcher over here!" He looked behind him while still running and saw his friend Alex calling him over. While Fletcher was distracted, he immediately ran into another kid and they both fell down, with Fletcher laying on the other kid. He looked down to see who he fell on, his eyes opened wide when he saw who it was. It was Gabe, the school's Mr. Popular. He had never seen Gabe this up-close before. Fletcher stared into Gabe's eyes and Gabe stared into Fletcher's. Fletcher was absolutely mesmerized by Gabe's beautiful brown eyes. He could stare into them forever. With his brown eyes and raven hair, he thought Gabe looked completely perfect.

Gabe stared into Fletchers shocked eyes. Until he was almost hypnotized by how sweet and innocent he looked. He liked the feeling of Fletcher's slim body on top of his. He wanted to hug him on the ground and lay there with him forever. But all he could do was stare into Fletcher's perfect eyes and wavy hair. They both just sat there staring at eachother while a huge crowd gathered around wondering what was happening and if they were ok. The first one to notice what was happening was Gabe, he started to blush, and he tried to gather enough energy to speak.

"Get off of me you dork!" Gabe tried to make an angry face.

Fletcher started getting off," I'm sorry, i didn't see you. S-Sorry..."

Fletcher was shocked by his comment and quickly got off of him, he started to blush. Fletcher stuck out his hand to help him up, but Gabe just wacked it away. Gabe looked at Fletcher with a frown and turned around with his friend Derek.

Derek's mouth was open with his eyes widened, he stared at Gabe and just said," What the hell was that?" Gabe just walked and looked forward, sticking his hand up telling him to shutup. Fletcher walked up to Amanda and swiped his phone back, then he walked back to Alex.

Alex just stared at Fletcher. "What was that?"

Fletcher responded," I just ran into him, that's all." Fletcher and Alex walked back to their usual spot to play. Fletcher felt butterflies piercing through his stomach. Fletcher never knew real love before, until today, when he saw Gabe.

Alex bent down to tie his shoe, and Fletcher whispered to himself after thinking hard about the incident that just happened. "I... I think i'm in... Love..." Fletcher thought of Gabe's cute face in his mind, and gave himself a lovely smile.
