A/n—at the beginning of each chapter it says what day of the week it is. If it says 'Still ______' that means the day of the week is the same as the day before it. (duh?) If it doesn't say 'Still' before it that means it is a new day. Please R&R!

Spot wants me to take some gay kid out around town. He told him he's my cousin, which he is, but only my second cousin. This is weird because usually we just act like we don't know each other.
But now he's at my mercy, begging me to take his friend out for a night on the town. What do you do when you're stuck under a rock? Call your gay cousin to pry you out.
Unfortunately, I'm a pushover so I agreed to help him out. Luckily I made it clear to him that it wasn't a date because I have my sights set on someone else.
The weirdest thing about this whole situation is that my family doesn't know I'm gay but Spot does. I don't know how he found out, it's not like I wear the flag to school, I'd get beaten up.........wait, I manage to get beaten up without announcing my sexuality. I'm a friggin walking punching bag. Spot has some finely tuned Gay-dar.
At the moment I'm nursing a bruised eye and trying to understand my calculus homework. The Delanceys gave me a good pushing around, once again in my aid to jack. I don't think he noticed, Jack is a very proud person, he doesn't need help defending himself. But I didn't mind, I know he knows I helped him—and always will help him—somewhere inside of him.
Les isn't dead, not even in critical condition. And Sarah came back late. I mean really late, not just for a 'school night', late for any night period. My mom didn't say anything. My dad didn't say anything. And that's because they 'trust' Sarah, and jack's a 'nice boy'. They don't know what they really do on these dates; poor misleaded souls.

Tonight we went 'cruising for girls'. It didn't go too well. Snitch had to bring his little brother so all we really had the chance to do was go to Chuckee Cheese's and the movies. Of course, Snipeshooter thought they were both pretty boring, but granted, so did I.
I don't think we saw any eligible girls.........except the one who sold us our movie tickets, but there was really no chance of asking her out.
And now for the world's most embarrassing moment.........I saw Spring.........with that rocker kid. They were 'at the movies (like in all those weird cinema adds). I guess something just snapped and soon I was on him and Spring was screaming 'Specs! Specs! Get off him! Get off Bumlets!' and Bumlets just sort of fell limp and I just kept punching him.
Eventually the security had to come and pull me away, but they didn't have much of a struggle. I could see Spring as they pulled me away. She didn't look disgusted at all, in fact, she looked happy, pleased even. I guess girls like having guys fight over them. Bumlets stood up quite easily and unruffled looking. That just made him want to punch him more.
I felt mad at Bumlets, but not at Spring for dumping me. That's when I think it really sunk in. I don't love Spring. I don't even like Spring, at least not romantically. She was just another girl.
Snipeshooter looked at me differently for the rest of the night. I'm ashamed that I sparked admiration in his eyes.
A/n: Gay-dar, quite clever. I wish I'd thought of it. I wore Marley's suspendahs to school today. Again. I love my suspenders and pretending to be like Itey.
