Sorry it took so long to update!!!!! Here's the next chapter.....
Marco is outside telling the guys about his secret.
Marco- Well...I-I...I'm gay.
All the guys are looked like they've all been shot.
Jimmy-What the hell do you mean Marco? Do have crushes on all of us or what?
Spinner- Yeah man. (pause) This just ain't right.
Marco- Sorry I took so long for me to come out, but I didn't want you guys to react the way you are right now!
Sean- Well, it's too late now, man.
Craig- Um...I think we're gonna have to think some more about this...
Marco- Guys, I don't have crushes on you...it's just the way I am. I only found out a few months ago.
The group just stares at him, get up, and walk away.
Spinner- I always knew there was something up with that kid...
Marco is left standing there alone. Ellie sees what happens and walks up behind him.
Ellie- I'm sorry they didn't take it well, Marco. (pause) They just don't understand.
Marco- Yeah...neither do I. (sighs)
*The next day*
Almost everyone in 9th and 10th grade know about Marco by now. Everyone is shocked to learn that he is gay.
Manny- Can you believe Marco is...gay?
Emma- Yeah, total shocker. I always thought things were good with him and Ellie.
*Across the hall*
Paige- It's too bad about Marco.
Hazel- Yeah. (pause) And to think I had a crush...on him.
Paige- He really should have kept it to himself. Now he has to deal with teasing. (pause) I just had a weird thought...
Hazel- What is it?
Paige- What if Marco came in here one day...holding hands...with...a guy??
Hazel- Yeah, I really don't want to think about that!
Paige- Me either...
The two girls laugh.
*Outside*
Ellie, Ashley, and Marco are standing outside away from other kids.
Ellie- I-I'm sorry, Marco. Like I said, they just don't understand.
Ashley- Yeah, Ellie's right. They don't have to deal with all of the emotions you're dealing with.
Marco- They sure as hell don't! Man, I guess I shouldn't have come out.
Ashley- Marco, they'll eventually stop paying so much attention to the subject. And if they don't...just talk to them about what you're feeling. If they have any dignity...they'll pay attention to what you have to say.
Ellie- Yeah, what Ash said. (pause) At least WE don't have a problem with it Marco. (deep down, Ellie still had major feelings for Marco) You ARE a human being like the rest of us.
Marco- (sighs) I guess you're right. (pause) Maybe I will talk to those guys...
*In the Cafeteria*
Jimmy, Spinner, Craig, and Sean were all sitting down at a table before the first period bell was about to ring.
Craig- Guys...I think we should talk about Marco.
Sean- What is there to say?? He's...gay.
Jimmy- Thanks for pointing out the obvious. (pause) What should we do guys?
Spinner- Hey! I don't want him ending up getting a crush on me.
Craig- Well me either...but...I think there's some information that we're missing, like stuff he wants to tell us.
Jimmy- Yeah...I think so too. It's just that...it's so weird...Marco...gay??
Sean- Well, I guess we should try and listen to what he has to say about it. (pause) I actually think it was brave that he decided to come out.
Spinner- Well, I think that he should have kept it to himself. Now I have to worry about if he's looking at me all weird.
Craig- Come on, Spinner. If he wants to talk about it, we should listen to him.
Spinner- Alright, alright. (notices the clock) Whoa! The bell's about to ring and I said I'd meet Terri before class. See you guys later.
Sean- Oh yeah, I said I'd meet Emma before class too! Gotta run.
Jimmy- Same for me with Ash...
Craig- Me too with Courtney...
Jimmy stops Craig.
Jimmy- Hey Craig, wait! Listen I wanted to tell you...I'm sorry I was with Courtney while you were hangin' with her as well. Now that I got Ash back though, it's all good.
Craig- Wait...wait! (pause) You had a thing with Courtney while we were together??
Jimmy- Yeah man. But listen, I had no idea she was that serious with you...
Craig- I can't believe her! I better go have a talk with her. (walks out)
Jimmy- (calls out to him) Sorry man! (to himself) I liked her as well, you know.
*In the hallway*
Craig walks up to Courtney.
Craig- Hey! (grabs her hand) Why didn't you tell me you had a thing with Jimmy while we were going out?
Courtney- (surprised) You found out? Oh god. (pause) I'm sorry Craig! I was going to tell you! Promise!
Craig- Well you should have told me sooner.
Courtney- I'm really sorry Craig! It's just that...well, you both asked me out and I couldn't say no to either of you and it just so happened that we both kissed on each of our dates and I couldn't figure out who I had true feelings for. (pause) And, when you told me you could help with the restraining order and kissed me, I knew you were the one for me. I'm really sorry Craig!! Can you forgive me?
Craig- (sighs) I don't know Courtney...I really don't know.
Courtney looks really sad.
Courtney- I really am sorry. (looks like she's about to cry) But, you're still gonna help me on Sunday...right?
Craig- Yeah, I will. I better go though. (pause) See you on Sunday, Courtney.
Craig walks away and tears start flowing down Courtney's cheek.
I really should have told him sooner, she thought. Why didn't I?
Okay that's the end! Please keep reviewing!!!!
