The rest of the English class passed uneventful after the cruel note. Michelle showed it to Mike as soon as she could, and he just laughed.

"What? How can you be laughing? That perra (A/N: I heard somewhere that this means "bitch") just called you a fag!"

"And you think I haven't heard worse, chica? You have got a lot to learn."

Michelle shook her head in amazement. She wanted to punch the girl's lights out for saying that about her friend, and here he was, calmly walking to lunch as if this were any normal day.

"But- Mike-" she sputtered her protest. He stopped dead in the middle of the hallway and turned around, placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Chica, I'm gay. There's nothing more to it. I like boys rather than girls. If the little puta (A/N: "whore," I think) wants to insult me with a fact, she's playing the wrong game. Understand?"

Michelle nodded.

"Good. Now lets get to lunch."

Short, but I needed Michelangelo to tell her somehow. Reviews are like candy… good!
