Chapter 2
Amy POV
The bell for 1st period to begin rang, and my stomach was flopping. Why was I nervous? I had no idea. My first class was English. The one and only subject that I could get an A in. My teacher's name was Mrs. Benson, and she didn't seem like the nicest person. Mrs. Benson had a seating chart made for us, so I didn't have to awkwardly find a seat and break up any cliques. Of course, my seat was one of the last to be called.
"Amy Raudenfeld in seat 29, and Shane Harvey in seat 30." Mrs. Benson said.
I took my place at the desk in the back of the room. At least if this classroom caught fire, I'd be the first one out the door. We began the class by going over the syllabus, and basic classroom rules. As I started to let my random thoughts take over my mind, the guy next to me got my attention.
"Is it just me or does this teacher need a serious eyebrow waxing? Like seriously, eyebrows need to be on point and not look like they can be a hut for little Eskimo people." he whispered to me.
I couldn't help but let out a small laugh. I was glad that my English partner had a sense of humor.
"Well, maybe she's afraid to evict the little Eskimo people." I laughed.
"Or maybe she lacks true beauty secrets. If you ask me, the key to beauty is to own what's up here and loan what's down there." he said.
Okay, this guy was definitely gay! Or maybe bisexual. Whatever he was, I just felt a little bit more comfortable.
"So do you have a name to go with your pretty face?" he asked while he crossed his legs and straightened his posture.
"Amy Raudenfeld. I'm new here." I kindly replied.
"Ooh. A new and shiny toy to play with. Shane Harvey, Hester High's most 'out and proud' student." he said as he played with a hair that dangled near his forehead.
"You're gay?" I asked now feeling even more comfortable than before.
"Been gay since day 1." he smiled. "I'm like the gay mascot around here."
"I am too." I blurted out. I still didn't have a way to calmly and coolly inform people of my sexuality.
"Hmm, you're not quite a 'lipstick lesbian' but still have an edgy and sexy girly girl look. I like it." he replied.
Mrs. Benson told us to stop talking, but Shane and I only laughed. We put our conversation on hold, since we had to tell everybody in the class who we were and what we did over the summer. The best thing for a new student to do? I don't think so. Finally, it was my turn, so I had to think of something to make me sound interesting. I decided to just be myself, since there's nobody else I'd rather be.
"Hi, I'm Amy. I just moved here from El Paso." I looked around the room to see how interested my classmates were in my story. They didn't seem all that entertained, so I decided to just let out who I really was. "I went on a road trip with some friends and my girlfriend, at the time, during the summer."
Once I said "my girlfriend at the time" everyone seemed to want to get to know me. I guess being gay at Hester High School wasn't such a bad thing as it was at other schools in America. Shane did his introduction, although he didn't even need one, since everybody knew who he was. Once we finished introductions, the class period was already over. I began to pack up my belongings and head to my Chemistry class.
"So, Amy, wanna hang out at lunch? My friend Liam will probably join us too, but he'll probably be disappointed to hear you're a lesbian since you're so hot, even though he does have a weird lesbian fetish that not even the straightest person could understand. But I wanna get to know you, because you're the first cute lesbian I have seen here. I just want to put you back in the closet so I can guide you and help come out again." Shane said. I knew he was trying to make me feel comfortable, and I really appreciated him for that.
"Yeah, that sounds good. I'll see you then." I laughed.
My next class was chemistry. Then I had trigonometry, then French, and finally history.
Unfortunately, the day seemed to go by very slowly. Finally, lunch came around. I immediately found Shane at a lunch table. He was standing around with a very tall and fit guy. That must have been his friend, Liam. I had to think of my introduction for Liam. He seemed like he was the head of all the cool kids at Hester, so I didn't want to make a fool of myself. Being popular didn't really matter to me, but I also didn't terminate the idea of it completely.
"Room for one more?" I shyly asked Shane.
"Oh hey! Okay, Amy this is my best friend, Liam. Liam, this is my new hot lesbian friend, Amy." Shane said.
"Nice to meet you, Amy." Liam smiled.
"Same to you. So, Shane told me you had a weird lesbian fetish, is that true?" I chuckled.
"Oh-well..a little. But it's more of a fantasy than anything." Liam embarrassingly admitted.
"It's cool. Just as long as you don't try anything with me!" I joked.
"Okay I hate to break up this little fetish conversation, but Liam, we need ideas for the party on Friday." Shane interrupted.
"Party?" I asked.
"Yeah, every year since 8th grade, Shane and I have thrown a back to school party. It's usually the biggest party of the year, next to our prom after-party." Liam replied.
"We usually invite the popular kids and then they spread the word. Don't worry, Amy, you're totally invited. We just need to think of a theme." Shane said. He was nearly stressing out about this party. I guess it had to be perfect.
"How about Hawaiian? I hear Hawaii is beautiful this time of year!" Liam said.
"Umm, gag! Who wants a Hawaiian themed party when we live in the middle of dirt infested Texas? I'm talking about a fancy and dramatic theme. Something mysterious and sexy."
Shane and Liam were truly stumped. So I decided to speak up.
"How about Masquerade? I went to a bunch of Masquerade parties in El Paso. Everyone got to dance and make out with whomever they wanted, and nobody's identity was exposed. It's a pretty modern theme for this day and age." I explained.
Liam looked to Shane for approval.
"Hmm, very dramatic. Very mysterious. Has potential to be VERY sexy. Looks like we're throwing a Masquerade party! I'll order a bunch of masks tonight online, we'll hand them out at the door. Gosh, Amy, I love you already." Shane said with so much approval. "Now, the dress code will be casu-formal. Not too casual and not too formal. Since it'll probably be over 100 degrees on Friday, I don't want any bitches sweating their upper-lip off in some huge ball gown. But I still want the guys and girls to dress nice. Oh, what about-"
"Okay, Shane. We got it. Not too plain but still presentable. Don't work yourself sick over this party, man." Liam joked.
The rest of the lunch we spent mainly talking about me. I got to know Liam and Shane more and more. I learned that Shane came out in the 4th grade, and that Liam was a bit of a sex-addict with a fear of commitment. They weren't your average friends, but they were the only people to have been nice to me all day. When I mentioned that Lauren was my step-sister, they simply laughed and apologized to me. Since Lauren had lived here and attended school with these boys before, they seemed to know the kind of bitchy girl she was. Lunch was over before I knew it, and the day seemed to end even quicker. Since Lauren had dance practice after school, I had to take the bus home. I didn't mind since I would have the house to myself for a few hours. When I was walking to the bus stop, I spotted my cute right-side locker mate. She was standing at the opposite bus stop across the street, with her friends. She must have seen me too, because she shot me another smile. Her smile was warmer than the sun. Since I wasn't so nervous this time, I gave her an even warmer smile in return. I guess she liked my smile, because it sent her into a small giggle.
I guess I could call day one at Hester High School a success!
