A/N: This story was a request that I got, and of course I couldn't say no because I love writing gay couples. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this story, if I had to guess, I'm going to say that it's going to be more than ten chapters. Be sure to check out my profile for some other cool stuff, and if you have a request, feel free to shoot me a PM.
I never really liked school, in fact, it was more than a nuisance than anything. But that was always the thought that ran through my mind when I walked into Degrassi on a Monday morning. The weekend of sleeping in still lingered in my mind, and I so desperately wished it was Friday already. But no, it was Monday, and even though I wasn't really tired, I just didn't want to be at school at the moment. More students shuffled past me as I walked slowly to my locker, not ready to start the day just quite yet. Finally though, I got to my locker without bumping into anybody else. I got the stuff I needed for my first few classes, and shut the locker door.
To my surprise, Grace and Zig were already there when I shut it. "Hey guys, what's up?" I asked them. For the time being, these two people were kind of my only friends here. Ever since I screwed up with everyone else, they were the ones that had my back.
"We're hanging out after school, Matlin, wanna come?" Grace asked. She favored calling me by my last name, I didn't know why, but I allowed her to do it. I don't know what it was, but there was something that drew me to Grace. I don't know if it was her piercings, or her different colored hair, or the way she dressed, but I thought she was pretty cool. People feared her, and I thought that was awesome. She was a good friend to have, and I was glad that we met each other, because ever since I got put in the rubber room, we had had each other's back.
"I'm bringing snacks!" Zig added enthusiastically, and I couldn't help but to smile. Ever since Zig and I started living together, we got this sort of brother sister thing going on between us. Which was nice, because I always wanted a brother, and now I had one. And I was also glad that he dropped the whole dating thing with us. I know I may have had feelings for Zig in the past, but things were different between us now, and we were strictly platonic.
"Is Tiny going to be there?" I asked, not really fond of their other friend.
Grace shook her head, "No, just us."
"Okay, I'm in." I nodded. Just then, the bell rang, signaling that school had begun. "Crap, I have to get to class guys." I said, before making my way to my first period. I was only a few seconds late, so thankfully my teacher didn't yell at me. I just sat down at my seat, and began scribbling doodles on my notebook. Now that I thought about it, I knew I was only going to hang out with my friends because I just wanted to spend time with Grace. I didn't care that Zig was coming, because I got to see him all the time, but I hardly ever got to see Grace. I didn't know why I wanted to spend all of this time with her either, I mean, I thought she was cool and everything, but still, that shouldn't make me want to see her all the time.
Maybe I was crushing on her? But that seemed silly. I had never felt that way for a girl before, so why would I be feeling it now? It was almost like I was pulling a Miles. I had only ever dated guys before, so it seemed like dating a girl was out of the question... But still, I was still young, I could still question my sexuality, couldn't I? Or was it normal to have crushes on the same sex? I didn't know the answers to any of my questions, I was only confusing myself even more. Whatever it was, I didn't want to deal with it now, so I pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind and focused on my class.
Later, at lunch, I met up with Zig and Grace and we ate together like usual. We talked about school, made fun of things, but every time I looked over at Grace, I felt myself blushing, or feeling nervous, or looking away, or something like that. It had never happened before, so why in the world was it happening now? I wasn't gay! So why was I feeling this way?
"Hello...? Earth to Maya?" Zig said, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Huh?" I asked.
"What movie do you want to watch tonight when we hang out over at Grace's?" He asked, probably for the second time.
"It doesn't matter, let Grace pick, it's her house." I said simply.
Zig laughed, "Whatever weirdo."
"Yeah Maya, you have been acting weird lately." Grace noted. "What's up?"
I laughed it off, "It's probably just stress, you know from school and stuff."
"Right." Grace said sarcastically. She then glanced over at the clock and saw that the bell was going to ring. "Whatever, I'll see you two after school." She said, and walked away. All I know is that I had to talk to somebody, and soon so I could figure out what the hell I was going with me, and why the hell I was crushing on Grace all of a sudden. I was just confusing myself more and more with each moment that passed.
"Yeah, I got to go too Maya." Zig said.
"Okay." I nodded, "I'll see you guys after school."
