Jackson: Finally I'm alone. No Heath to bother me. I can finally get started on this book.
Heath:Hi Jackson!
Jackson:Oh. Hey Heath
Heath: Hey Jackson, you'll never
Guess what happened to
Me on the subway this morning.
This guy was smiling at me and talking to me
Jackson: That's nice
Heath:He was being real friendly,
And I think he was coming on to me.
I think he might've thought I was gay!
Jackson: Ok and why should I care.I don't care. Sooo what'd you have for lunch today.
Heath: Well you don't have to get all defense about it. Unless...
Jackson: Unless knock it off.
Heath:Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, Jackson
I just think it's something we should be able to talk about.
Jackson:Why in the world do you think we should talk about it. CONVERSATION OVER. LET ME READ IN PEACE.
Heath:yea but...
Jackson:OVER
Heath:Well, okay, but just so you know —
IF YOU WERE GAY
THAT'D BE OKAY.
I MEAN 'CAUSE, HEY,
I'D LIKE YOU ANYWAY.
BECAUSE YOU SEE,
IF IT WERE ME,
I WOULD FEEL FREE
TO SAY THAT I WAS GAY
(BUT I'M NOT GAY.)
Jackson: Heath please I'm trying to read. What are you doing?
Heath:IF YOU WERE QUEER
Jackson:and he's still going
Heath:I'D STILL BE HERE,
Jackson: Heath I'm trying to read this book
Heath:YEAR AFTER YEAR
Jackson:Please stop
Heath:BECAUSE YOU'RE DEAR TO ME
Jackson:Argh!
Heath:AND I KNOW THAT YOU
Jackson:What?
Heath:WOULD ACCEPT ME TOO,
Jackson:Please stop
Heath:IF I TOLD YOU TODAY,
"HEY! GUESS WHAT,
I'M GAY!"
(BUT I'M NOT GAY.)
I'M HAPPY
JUST BEING WITH YOU.
Jackson: Umm thanks I guess. But I'm not gay.
Heath:SO WHAT SHOULD IT
MATTER TO ME
WHAT YOU DO IN BED
WITH GUYS?
Jackson: ew no. That's just wrong
Heath:No it's not! IF YOU WERE GAY
I'D SHOUT HOORAY!
Jackson: I'm not listening!
Heath:AND HERE I'D STAY,
Jackson:Good bye Heath. (Jackson walks away and Heath grabs him)
Heath:
BUT I WOULDN'T GET
IN YOUR WAY.
Jackson:Aaaah!
Heath:YOU CAN COUNT ON ME
TO ALWAYS BE
BESIDE YOU EVERY DAY,
TO TELL YOU IT'S OKAY,
YOU WERE JUST BORN
THAT WAY,
AND, AS THEY SAY,
IT'S IN YOUR DNA,
YOU'RE GAY!
Jackson:BUT I'M NOT GAY!
Heath:If you were gay.
Jackson: Ugh! Your so annoying
