Part One: If he told you his biggest secret - how would you handle it?

CHAPTER ONE ~I'll learn to work

the Sax-o-phone And I'll play
Just what I feel~

'Yamato~! Help me~!'

Taichi came running at me, a mob of angry girls chasing after him.

'Tai- What'd you do?!'

He hid behind me, just like the bearer of courage -.- 'Nothing...' he tells me.

Luckily for him, the girls were the cheerleaders from our school. Unluckily for me, the girls were the cheerleaders from our school who wanted me to be the school mascot.

It didn't take much, just me promising to eat lunch with them, to get them to leave poor Taichi alone.

'Really, Tai, what'd you do?'

He looked nervous... ' I , uh, well, I hit one - ON ACCIDENT!- with the soccer ball ...'

I laughed as he trailed off, and we walked down the hill so he could retrieve it.

We left after that, neither really wanting to attract any more attention to ourselves.

As we walked, Taichi was REALLY quiet.

'What do you want?'

'Wha.. why do ya say that?'

'Oh, because you haven't said a word in almost 30 minutes.'

'I was just ... thinking...'

'Did it hurt?'

'MATT! Shut up!' he playfully punched my arm.

'Well, I guess that means it's important.'

'Well, yeah.'

'So are you going to tell me? I can keep a secret, unlike you.'

'You promise not to ... well get mad.. or blow me off or anything?'

'I do try me best.'

'Eh ... Well... Matt- ' he paused. 'I'm gay.'
