I can't really put a word to how I feel and don't know who to talk to about it. It's a new and interesting feeling. It's hard in this day and age because I don't want to be judged for being weird.
Let me elaborate.
I have an attraction toward guys. I don't know if it's just a phase or if I truly think I could get romantically serious with another man. All I know for sure is that no girls in my school give me the time of day. They all think I'm a geek. Especially Kim Macafee and her Conrad Birdie obsessed cronies. Would they view me even worse off if they found out I was queer? What would the guys at our school think? That's what I fear the most.
The main object of my affection is Hugo Peabody. I think he is adorable and so sweet. I don't know how he would react if he found I had romantic feelings for him. This town has been so abuzz with the news of Hugo and Kim getting pinned. I would be afraid of messing up their wonderful relationship. They seem to be happy together.
Where do I start? Who do I tell? I feel like it's such a burden to keep these emotions inside.
