Hey guys! This is my first fanfic for static shock, so feedback is very welcome. Yadda yadda yadda, and I don't own any of the characters so don't sue. If I owned them this would be on tv instead of on fan fiction.net. So I hope you enjoy it. BTW this section is sort of from Virgil's POV.

"Hey Ritchie, I want to talk to you about something."
"Uh... yeah, sure thing Shanice." Ritchie said regretfully as he saw Virgil turn and walk away. Virgil, his best friend, the guy he could tell anything to, and then one person who he just couldn't his biggest secret. He turned back to Shanice, "What did you want to talk to me about?"
"Do you think Virgil likes me? Ya know as more than a friend?"

'Why are they always together these days?' Virgil Hawkins thought as he glared jealously at his best friend and the girl he was with. 'Why is she always with Ritchie? I really hope that they aren't dating or anything' As Virgil stopped to lean against a wall and sigh, Ritchie came running up to him.
"Hey man, what's up?" Ritchie asked sounding a little breathless, as if he had been running to catch up. "You've been sort of distant lately."
"Yeah... well... it's not by choice." Virgil said his voice edged with anger.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that I'm not the one abandoning my best friend for some girl!" Virgil was almost yelling now.
"Look, Vee can we talk about this later? In private?" Ritchie asked putting a hand on Virgil's shoulder and sounding a bit nervous.
"Okay, fine, right after school today we are going to do some serious talking." Virgil said and stomped off.

After school that day they went to their 'secret hideout', the abandoned gas station. Virgil had been acting distant the whole day and Ritchie just seemed freaked out. Whatever Ritchie had to tell him had to be big otherwise Ritchie wouldn't have been so nervous. Ritchie was probably going to tell him that he was dating Shanice. Ritchie probably thought that Virgil liked her and that's why he was nervous. Well he had been acting pretty jealous when he saw Ritchie and Shanice together.
"Alright, Virgil, I have something to tell you"
"I know that, so what is it? Are you dating Shanice or something?" At this Ritchie starts laughing. "What is so funny? This is serious man."
"Me?...... and her?" Ritchie is having a hard time talking because he is laughing so hard. "What gave you that idea?" he finally managed to get out through the laughter.
"The fact that you two are always together these days" Virgil said getting very annoyed with Ritchie for laughing at him, it was no laughing matter to Virgil.
"Look, Vee, if you want to go out with Shanice go ahead, I don't like her in that way, in fact, I don't even like girls, that's what I wanted to tell you. I'm gay" Ritchie finally sobered up.
"WWWWHHHHHAAAAAATTTTT?" was all Virgil could manage to get out before he was sure that he would never be able to move his mouth from it's position on the floor.
"Well, I'll understand if you don't want to be my friend anymore, I just thought that you might be able to get over it and still be my best friend" Ritchie started to head for door, but stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Virgil had managed to remove his jaw from the floor.
"Ritchie, I have something I need to tell you. I don't think I can be friends with you anymore."

Boy am I mean! Not really because I will be posting the second chapter by tomorrow, if not later today. Please review and tell me if you like and how much you hate me for stopping where I did.
