Jonathan

I sometimes wished my mothers would move to a straight town. There are only a two in Florida. Florida May street, and St. Park avenue. My mother Tiffany always said that being straight was a phase. My mom Louise said that she was supportive.

The way getting kids works, since everyone's gay, is that we donate sperm and then BOOM, a baby. That's it. So there's a good chance I'm straight because either I wasn't donated or because I get it from my past relatives. I once always asked my moms if I was donated by a straight couple. Tiffany said to not say something so profound so I never asked again.

"Jon, come down for dinner! We're watching the 'Gays for Us!' show tonight!"

"I don't want to, Bear and Nickel are coming over tonight."

"Ok," Tiffany yells through the house "Just don't make too much noise, it's movie night."

"Ok mom!" I yell back as the doorbell rings, and I hear Louise answer. Nickel is always so polite, but Bear, he's something different. He is always just a brute, and I think somewhere deep inside, he's kind and loving.

"Hello ma'am!" Nickel says sweetly to my mother.

"Hello Nicole!" Louise says back. "Jon's upstairs in his room, hello Bem! Lovely to see you, Jo-" She was cut off by one of Bear's routine grunts.

"He's upstairs! I get it Mrs. Connors, Jon's upstairs!" He sighs and runs up the stairs along with Nickel who waved goodbye to the lesbians.

"I'm glad you called me over, Anton's out of town and I have nothing to do. Can't skype him, he's grounded." Bear (his nickname for Bem) complains.

"Why would he be grounded, he's like the opposite of you.." I say turning to my window and looking out into the streets. It is dark out, and people either taking walks or hanging out - probably heading to the club. The club "Starshine." It was a gay only club, so everyone but people like me went.

There were some places around town where only straight people go. They are mostly gay people who think that they could be straight - or gay people looking to make fun of us. When I was young, life was easier. I would ask guys out, and invite them over, and girls were just gross. But suddenly, at the beginning of ninth grade, I saw a girl hanging out with her girlfriend. I knew something was wrong with me when I started to feel light headed whenever she came close.

I tried to tell my 'friends' but they all thought I was joking. No one in their right mind could be straight. How absurd. I like football, and I hate fashion, that just makes this situation worse for me.

Nickel taps my shoulder.

"Are you alright Jon?" She asks caringly. She's lesbian, but I wish she wasn't. Louise would say I have the 'hots for her'. She has a girlfriend named Faith, or as we call her, Fae. Fae and Nickel - 'Nicole'. She walks away from me and sits down on the bed. Nickel gets out her iPhone 18 plus. It is as thin as paper, and as long as an iPad 11 pro. Able to fit inside her purse. She pulls up skype.

"Bear, look, Anton is online, we should call him!" She practically screams.

"Ok. Sure. Whatever." He replies. Nickel hits the call button. A 3D hologram of Anton pops up. He has light brown hair, almost blonde. He has teeth as white as the snow, and his jawline is so sharp, you could cut yourself on it. He is everything any guy wants to be. He smiles at Bear, who can't help but blush. Bear's ears move his deep black hair when he smiles.

"Hey guys! How are you?" He says in a voice as smooth as butter and smoother.

"We're all doing fine, dear." Bear says. They sometimes for jokes call each other dear, because we call Bem 'Bear'. It was kind of funny at the time, now it's slightly dark. I nod my head, and Nickel smiles. I love the way her brown hair looks. She always keeps it in a ponytail, so it is out of her face. She has dimples when she smiles. Her teeth are perfect, and she has the body of a model - if models were actually pretty.

Nickel goes on about Fae, and I do admit, I become jealous, but I don't say anything. I love that both of them are happy. Seeing them together, makes me wonder if I was really straight. Maybe I just haven't found the right guy for me, but then I look at Nickel, and I snap back into reality.

I am straight.
