I have had this idea for a little while, and decided to expand on it :)
Review, tell me some stuff
*This is and edit from what it use to be, thanks to my reviews, if i am not told i probably wont notice*
Greg Sanders hated to appear abnormal. He never liked to appear different than anyone else, especially in high school. So he pretended to like certain things, he absolutely could not stand talking about sports. But when came down to it he had enough knowledge to get him through a conversation, no problem.
But the one thing Greg hated lying about was his attraction to women. He had known since the age of 13 that he was different. But he went along forcing him self to agree with his friends, never exposing his concerns. He thought girls were pretty all the same, but he found himself falling over him male classmates. And quietly, away from everyone, he grappled with his sexuality.
And when it really came down to it pretending to be straight was just easier than undoing years for lying. Even through college he would tell his parent that he was to busy with his studies to worry about girls, he promised that he would marry someday.
He was grateful when he had graduated to be offered a job far from home, where he hoped that he would be able to be himself. But it started again, the first day on the job. And ever since the whole lab thought he was just a flirt.
"Greg…Greg, are you there," A voice snaps Greg out of his thoughts and back to the reality of the lab around him. He shakes his head, firmly grasping his coffee in front of him on the break room table.
"Huh," He looks up at a disgruntled Catherine.
"I was passing by, and saw you sleeping," She says, "That's not like you,"
"Sorry Cath, promise it wont happen again," He sits up, "I didn't get a lot of sleep last night,"
"You looked stressed," Catherine points out, sitting down across from him, "Is it a girl?"
"You could say that," Greg murmurs, looking past her and into the Hall where Nick Stokes is standing, talking to a person Greg had never seen. He notices Greg and nods to him, winking. Greg's heart melts in his chest, making sure Catherine doesn't notice the change in his face "You could say that," He repeats himself, watching Nick walk away.
