The bell rang and I couldn t get out of class fast enough, which came with a slight flaw when I realized one of my comics, had fallen out of my bag in the rush to escape the awkward moment.
Aw crap I said aloud, it wasn't like anyone was listening to me. I waited until I was sure that everyone, especially Frank, had left and then for another two minutes, until I was sure that the classroom was empty. So I jumped when Frank appeared from around the corner holding my comic.
You left this he said handing me my Iron Man comic and smiling as he spoke, acting as if no-one had ever said anything about my sexuality.
Uh, thanks I muttered taking the comic and trying to escape before any awkward questions could be asked, but before I left Frank spoke again.
Yeah Iron Man s pretty good, the comic is way better than the film
I know I said, maybe a little too enthusiastically but I was glad to find someone who shared my opinion.
So he said and I could tell what question was coming. You re uh gay?
Well, er kinda I trailed off as Frank had taken hold at my hand and squeezed it gently.
Don t worry his face was close to mine now and I could feel his warm breath on my face some people might say I am too
And at that moment a gigantic, cheesy grin spread across both our faces. I had never met someone like Frank before, someone I truly cared about. I though I had once but now he was just bad memories and Frank was different. Our faces so close together that s we could kiss, then Frank moved forward slightly and we did. It was magic, fireworks and the Frank moved away and I felt empty for a few seconds before he spoke.
We re still in school he whispered in my ear.
Damn, you re right, what have you got now?
Frank fumbled through his bag before producing a piece of paper, Er, P.E I think it s Thursday right?
yeah and I ve got P.E too I looked at my watch And we are so late and we walked off together still holding hands.
