-The Next Day at School-
Virgil sits at the lunch table with his friends Rick Chuck and Felix. He starts up the conversation by saying "listen fellas I know everybody got their secrets, but if it's something that can hurt somebody in or affect the whole group now is the time to tell it." Felix chimed in by saying "well Rick you might as well tell us all now that you a pink tutu wearin sissy faggot" with a laugh. Rick replies "fuck you!" Causing Felix to say "I'm pretty sure you would love to" as he laughs louder and gives a five to Chuck. Having enough of Felix's jokes Rick reaches across the table and punches Felix right in the nose causing it to spurt out blood.
Felix screams "you motherfucker" and grabs Rick by the neck and starts to choke him before Virgil and Chuck intervenes. As the crowd yells out "fight, fight, fight" Frieda and Larry pushes their way through it with Larry telling the ones standing next to him "bool the fuck out". They shut up in fear of what Larry might do.
Frieda walks up to Virgil and asks "what happened" Virgil replies "don't talk to me! Chuck chimes in and tells Virgil "a man maybe you should go check on him" referring to Rick.
Virgil walks off to the bathroom where Rick is and asks "a man you alright?" Rick replies "no I'm tired of this". Virgil says "c'mon man you know Felix is a jackass but you ain't have to pop his ass". Rick replies "no not that I'm tired of lying to everyone". "What do you mean Rick" ask Virgil "I'm... gay I'm gay Virgil I like boys Adam Shavez in particular. There you go what do you have to say about that" replies Rick.
Virgil being speechless just backs out of the bathroom and leaves Rick alone as he starts to burst into tears.
Virgil went the rest of the school day without talking to anyone he didn't even notice the hot transfer as the teacher announced her "this is our new transfer Raquel Ervin" the teacher Ms. Velasquez said. Raquel remembering Virgil from burger fool says "hi" but gets no reply as Virgil is too caught up in his thoughts about Rick being gay, Frieda and Larry being a couple and not telling him and what is he going to do about Holocaust.
Virgil arrives home and quickly rushes upstairs where he plops down on his bed and grab his phone. He calls Frieda and waits until she answers "hello" she says "listen Frieda I know we're kinda like not talking right now but I didn't know who else to talk to" says Virgil "it's okay Virg you're the one not talking to me remember" replies Frieda "yeah about that, I'm sorry I overreacted" says Virgil "no it's my fault I should have told you about me and Larry" replies Frieda. "It's okay I'm past that now... I guess, I called you about the Rick thing" says Virgil "yeah what was that about anyway"" ask Frieda "like you don't know already", answers Virgil "you're right Chuck told me Felix called him a fairy sissy faggot" says Frieda ;actually it was a pink tutu wearing sissy faggot, and I was talking about the fact that he's actually one... I mean gay replies Virgil. "Yeah so" replies Frieda "wait you mean you knew" ask Virgil shocked at the revelation "yeah he told me the night me and Larry... nevermind" answers Frieda "when you and Larry what" ask Virgil "I thought you called to talk about Rick" says Frieda changing the subject "yeah I did, I mean what am I gonna do about this" ask Virgil "what do you mean what are you going to do, this is not a problem for you to solve Rick's gay! Deal with it be the loving supportive guy I know you can be" says Frieda a little agitated by Virgil's question "yeah right like that's gonna happen" replies Virgil with a slight chuckle "okay you homophobe what if I was a lesbian would you feel the same way" ask Frieda "actually that would be kinda hot" answers Virgil sarcastically but with a hint of truth. "Okay you pig don't talk to me until you realize it doesn't matter he's still your Friend" replies Frieda "you know what you're right Frieda" says Virgil bringing a smile to Frieda's face at his reply.
-The Next Day at School-
Virgil stands by his locker as Rick walks up to put his things in it. Virgil starts a conversation with Rick by saying "so how's it going today bro" Rick smiles and replies "better now that someone's talking to me besides Frieda, thanks man. Virgil says "no need to thank me we are bros for life long as you don't try to hit on me "I already told you you're not my type" replies Rick "why not" ask Virgil jokingly as the two friends burst into laughter before Rick says " a Virg you want to go to the Kevin Hart movie with me and Adam my treat I could really use the support" Virgil replies "yeah sure if you spring for a date I don't want to play third wheel" "I got you so me, you Adam and Daisy" says Rick "Daisy I'm not taking Daisy I'm taking her" replies Virgil as he motions towards Raquel. "But" starts Rick but is cut off when Virgil says "I'm about to ask her now".
Virgil steps in front of Raquel as she walks down the hall "hey my Nubian goddess" says Virgil "oh now you can speak to me" replies Raquel "cause yesterday you acted like you didn't even know me" continues Raquel. Virgil laughs nervously and says "yeah... see about that I had a lot on my mind my friend Rick..." but he is cut off by Raquel saying "yeah the gay guy so you two are still friends"? "Yeah" replies Virgil "it takes a real man to not be affected by that" says Raquel "maybe I will give you a second chance" she continues "really" says Virgil and Raquel just nods her head yes "okay well if you're up for it me and Rick were gonna go on a double date to the new Kevin Hart movie and I would be honored if you would go with me" ask Virgil "yeah I'll go with you handsome, meet you at the AMC at eight" replies Raquel with a smile as she walks away
Daisy was watching the whole thing from across the hall, she fights back tears as she walks off after watching Virgil smile and sing I'm the man.
