"So, what do you think he's going to be?" Mikayla asked Sonny. It was the next day and they were sitting together at lunch predicting people's futures.

"Um, I think he's going to own his own run-downed car dealership." Sonny answered.

Mikayla tilted her head, looking at the guy, "I could see that."

"Ok, my turn. How about her?" She asked and Mikayla noticed that she was asking about the head cheerleader.

"I think she's going to marry some rich guy and all she would want to do is relive the glory days."

"I think you hit it dead on." Sonny said while laughing.

"You think?" Mikayla asked, she was joking around with her answer.

"Yep." Sonny looks down at her food in disgust. "What is this?"

"Mystery meat."

"What's the mystery?" She asked as she looked down at the gray mush on her tray.

"What disease you would catch." Mikayla said and Sonny pushed her tray away from her. "Here take this half of my sandwich."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I don't eat much anyways." Sonny took the half that Mikayla was offering and took a bite out of it. "My mom must be in a good mood."

"What makes you think that your mom is in a good mood?" Sonny asked.

"Because she only makes me lunches when she's in a good mood, I don't know why, but its fine with me."

"Lucky. My mom can't cook." Sonny said as she peeled off the crusts of the sandwich before she finished it.

"Then you come to my house because I have awesome cooking skills." Sonny raised her left eyebrow. "Okay, so my cooking skills only range from omelets to macaroni and cheese."

"This is fine by me as long you don't set your house on fire."

"So I started small fire on the stove one time." Mikayla paused, "I mean, okay." She turned back to finish what was left of her sandwich.

Sonny laughed a little at the save Mikayla attempted. "I was going to your house anyways so we can work on our math homework."

"Sonny?"

"Yes?"

"I'm in pre-cal and you're in algebra two." Mikayla reminded her.

"So, I was hoping you can help me with my math homework." They went into a comfortable silence after Mikayla chuckled at Sonny's way of asking for help. Then they heard footsteps coming towards them. They looked up to notice that three cheerleaders were standing right in front of them. Tawni, Miley, and Lilly, they used to be Mikayla's friends back in the day.

"I don't see why you're sitting with her, its social suicide. You can come and sit with us before you catch something." Tawni said.

"I'm good, thanks." Sonny replied.

"There's obviously a glitch in your brain."

Sonny stood up from where she sat and now she was eye-level with Tawni from across the table. "There is obviously a virus in your brain, eating away your brain. Oh, but wait," Sonny paused, "It died because there's nothing to feed on."

Mikayla's jaw dropped and so did the cheerleaders. Theirs were out of offense and Mikayla's was out of shock. "I think you just insulted me."

"Oh, you're so smart. You figure that on your own." Sonny said sarcastically.

While Sonny and Tawni were having a staring contest Mikayla looked over to the other cheerleaders. She noticed that Lilly was looking a little uneasy. Mikayla tilted her head and Lilly noticed it. She quickly shot Mikayla a scared looked and Mikayla immediately understood what she was saying.

I guess Sonny was right about closet cases. Mikayla thought. The cheerleaders left their table and Sonny had sat back down in her seat. "Well, that was fun." Sonny said.

"You're right." Mikayla said.

"About what?" Sonny asked confused.

"I'll tell when we get to my house." The bell had rung telling the students to head to their next class of the day.

…...

School was over and now they were heading to Mikayla's house. Sonny pulled her car up to her house because at it turned out that she only lived two houses down. But they could get out of the car Mikayla asked, "So, what are you?"

Sonny looked at her confused, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, are you gay, straight, or bi?"

"Oh," Sonny looked away, "I'm not into labels."

"No, you're just avoiding the question and you totally stole that from South of Nowhere."

Sonny looked back at Mikayla, "You actually watched that show?"

Mikayla smiled nervously and shrugged her shoulders. "It passes the time?" She said slowly.

"Yeah, uh huh." Sonny said not totally believing Mikayla's answer. They got out of the car and walked towards Mikayla's house. They walked in and just went upstairs to Mikayla's bedroom. Their back packs were placed on the floor by the door.

"Before we start working on homework answer my question."

"What question?" Sonny asked, she was pretending she didn't know what Mikayla was talking about? Mikayla raised her eyebrows, "Oh, that question." Sonny looked down at the floor instead of looking at the girl in front of her.

"Don't be scared, I'm gay. You shouldn't afraid of coming out to me." She placed her hand on the shorter girl's shoulder to reassure that it was okay.

"I'm bi." Sonny finally said.

"That wasn't so hard, was it?" Mikayla asked and Sonny shook her head. She removed her hand from the girl's shoulder and went to sit on her bed. "Okay, we should start on homework."

…...

"All done, finished my homework and yours." Mikayla said as she was gathering her books and placed them on her desk.

"Half of my homework." Sonny corrected her.

"First, you're going to get me to do your homework. Next thing I know you're shaking me down for money."

"I'll become your own personal bully. I'll never leave your side."

"I think I have enough bullies as it is."

"Then I'll be your angel."

"Good, so next time you can do your own homework."

"I had a feeling this conversation was going that route." Sonny got up from the bed, took her books, and places them in her backpack. She went back to sit on the bed along with Mikayla. "So what did you want to tell me?"

"Oh, yeah." Mikayla remembered what she was going to tell Sonny. "So you were right about the closet cases because I think I found case number one."

"Really, who?" Sonny actually sound excited about it.

"One of the cheerleaders, Lilly."

"Um, which one is that one?"

That's right, Sonny doesn't know the cheerleaders names. "The blonde standing behind the blonde you were talking to."

"I knew I was sensing something."

"Sensing?" Mikayla asked confused.

"It's this thing called a gaydar. Don't you have one?"

"If I do, then it's not functioning properly." Mikayla asked something totally out of the blue. "How did you come out to your mom?"

"That's a story you don't want to hear."

"Oh, come on. It couldn't be that bad."

"Okay, fine." Then Sonny tells her the story.

Sonny sat on her bed nervous of how her mother was going to react. Her feet were bouncing off the floor as she heard her mother's footsteps approaching. Her mother entered the room and sat down next the nervous Sonny. "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"You promise not to be mad at me?" Sonny asked.

"I promise." Her mother held her hand up and then took it down. "Now tell me what's on your mind."

"I-I'm b-bi." Sonny immediately closed her eyes, waiting for mother's reaction.

Her mother let out a sigh of relief, "Wow, for a second there I thought you were going to tell me that you were pregnant."

Sonny's eyes shot open, "Wait, you knew?"She was obviously confused.

"That you were bi? Yes."

"How?"

"When I was cleaning your room, I found those magazines-" Her mother said but she was cut off by Sonny.

"Mom!" Sonny exclaimed in embarrassment.

"What? I put them back."Sonny buried her head in her hands, shaking her head. She felt her mom pat her on the knee. "Glad we talked." Then she got up from the bed and left her room.

When Sonny was finish telling her story Mikayla busting out laughing until she was gasping for air. Sonny hit her arm. "Ow!" Mikayla said in between her laughs. After a minute or two she finally calmed down.

"Now, tell me yours."

"Just to let you know, mine wasn't as bad as yours. Who knew you were such a dirty girl."

"Shut up and tell me your story."

"I can't if you tell me to shut up."

"Quit being a smart ass and tell me."

"Fine." Mikayla said as she proceeded to tell her story.

Mikayla was walking to the kitchen when her mom was making dinner. She figure she should wait until her mom was in a good mood and when she saw her mom in the kitchen preparing dinner she knew that this was the best time to tell her.

"Mom, can I talk to you?"Mikayla asked.

"Yeah, what is it?"

"I'm gay." Mikayla said without stuttering.

Her mother looked at her, "That's great, now can you hand me a lid for this pot?"

Mikayla stood there shocked of how well her mother took the news, but then she registered what her mom asked and got the lid from the bottom cabinet. She handed her mom the lid and left the kitchen. "That was worth the three days practicing in front of the mirror."

"We have great moms." Sonny said.

"That we do. I love your story by the way."

Sonny playfully pushed Mikayla but not enough to make her fall of the bed. "Oh, shut up." Sonny looked down at her watch, "I gotta go." She got up from the bed. "See you later." She leaned in and kissed Mikayla on the cheek. "Bye." Then she left the room and the house.

Mikayla sat there in shock, not because Sonny kissed her on the cheek. It was because of what Mikayla felt when Sonny kissed her cheek.
