Jake sat there in Chemistry. Everyone else was already paired up so he sat with Sonny and Mikayla. They were fine with the arrangement as long as he didn't sit in the middle.

During the whole class Jake has been trying to think of ways of how to help the two girls. He was so lost in thought that he didn't hear the bell ring to dismiss them to lunch. His mind was set to make a speech and getting the approval.

As he was about to exit the classroom he was approached by another blonde. "Hi, I'm Lilly. I'm guessing you're new, what's your name?"

"It's Jake." He answered.

"You don't mind sitting with those two girls?"

"Nope, I have open mind about things. Do you mind?"

"No."

"I'm going by the principal's office, wanna walk with me?" He asked the blonde.

"Sure, why are we going there?"

"I have to do something but I want his approval before I do anything else." They walked to the office since it wasn't that far from the cafeteria. "Do you want come inside or wait out here?"

"I think I'll wait out here."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

He lightly knocked on the door. The man sitting behind the desk looked up. "What can I do for you, young man?"

Jake answered, "I wanted to talk to you about something."

The principal waved him in. "Come in and take a seat." Jake did what the principal had instructed. "What did you want to talk about?"

"Before I tell you I have to ask this question, how do you feel about gay people?"

"Well," The principal started off. Jake was expecting a speech about how wrong it is, but the answer was something he didn't expect. "I'm fine with it. Actually, my daughter is gay."

Jake instantly felt relieved, "Does she go this school?"

"Yes, actually. She doesn't tell anyone. I don't know why, she's popular." Then he looked confused for a second. "She's been dating boys on the football team."

"Why would she if she's gay?"

"I don't know maybe she's afraid of being judged."

"Who is she, if you don't mind me asking?" Jake asked. The principal looked shocked, like it should have been obvious who his daughter is. "I'm new, this is my first day."

The shocked expression disappeared from the principal's face. "Her name is Tawni."

Jake's jaw dropped slightly, this was huge. "The cheerleader?"

"Yes, that's her." This was bigger than big. The head cheerleader was gay.

"She's a hypocrite." Jake said angrily

"What? No she isn't."

"Yes, she is. She turned the whole school against my sister because she's gay."

"Who's your sister?"

"Mikayla Gomez. My sister and her girlfriend have been getting disgusted looks from everyone and it's because of her."

"I should talk to her."

"Don't, I want to make speech about this."

"To the school?"

"Yes, that's if you approve of this."

"Well, you have my approval."

Jake got up from his seat, "Thank you sir."

"Anytime."

Jake left the office. He knew he had something over the head cheerleader but he wasn't going to use it against her, maybe. Now all he had to was plan the speech and everything would just fall into place.

"So what did he say?" Lilly asked.

"He said yes. Did you know that he is Tawni's dad?"

"Yeah, everyone knows that. Do you want to grab something to eat?" She asked as she pointed to the cafeteria.

"No thanks, I'm not hungry, you?"

"Me neither, let's go outside and sit at one of the tables." Jake followed the other girl out of the school and to the tables that she was talking about. Lilly took a seat at the wooden table while Jake took a seat on top of the table.

"So, I'm just breaking the ice here, are you also gay?" Jake asked.

Lilly chuckled, "Yeah, I am."

"I just thought I asked."

"Why?"

"So I wouldn't assume that you were into guys and risk myself looking like an idiot trying to hit on you."

"Good point." They both chuckled lightly but it was ceased when they saw Tawni walking towards them. "Not that I'm rude or anything," Lilly started to say. "Wait, I do mean to be rude, what are doing over here?"

"How does it feel to be hated by the whole school before you even entered it?" Tawni asked Jake.

"That's not entirely true." He pointed to Lilly.

"She doesn't count."

"Of course she does, she goes to this school, doesn't she?" Jake got off from the table and walked towards Tawni but kept a good five feet between them. "I had a nice chat with your dad." He walked in closer and whispered, "I know your deep dark secret." He leaned back, standing straight again.

"W-What made him tell you?" She asked nervously. Lilly scooted closer to the edge of the seat so she could hear what she was going to say.

"I told him that I wanted to do a speech for Sonny and Mikayla. Hoping to get everyone, almost everyone to change the way they treat those two and Lilly."

"It's too late to change that." Tawni said in a soft tone.

"And whose fault is that? The hate would have never happen if you didn't start it."

"I was just afraid what people would think of me."

"No matter where we go, we would always be judged. Don't let their judgment stop you, be proud of the person you are. I know I am and she is." He pointed to Lilly. "You're popular, the people would believe in what you believe in. Use that power you have but use it for good. I know these people won't give in so easily to your proposal. So you have to give them a reason, a reason to open their minds or they won't be ready for the outside world." Jake finished his mini speech and waited patiently for Tawni's response.

"What should I say to them?" She asked, she was actually considering it.

"Say what you feel and state the facts."

"And if it goes wrong?"

"Then you will know who your true friends are." Jake said and Tawni nodded. She walked away feeling motivated. Jake felt that he actually got through to her.

"How did she know you?" Lilly asked. "And what does she mean about the school hating you before you entered it?"

"I'm Mikayla's younger brother. I barely moved in with her and Mom yesterday." Jake looked around the schoolyard and noticed that people were walking into the building. He turned towards the blonde. "Is lunch already over?"

"No," She looked down at her watch. "We still have about twenty minutes."

"Then we should go inside to see what's going on." Jake began to make his way to the entrance of the school with Lilly right behind him. When they entered the building everyone was hurrying into the cafeteria. His curiosity was piqued so he followed the crowd.

When he got Tawni to make a speech to the whole school he didn't mean to do it today. She was standing on one of the cafeteria tables, gathering the attention of the student body.

Everyone else crowded around the table that she was standing on. "Now that I have your attention," Tawni began to say. "I want to make a speech." She waited until it was completely silent in the cafeteria. "First of all, I just want to say that I am a hypocrite. That's because I was afraid to show the real me. I have been bagging on Mikayla and Sonny when I know I shouldn't have. Second of all, I'm gay."

Everyone in the cafeteria was whispering and some others were speechless. She continued, "I know you guys didn't expect that from me because I talk down to others who are gay. I'm here to change that. I want to take back all things I had said. If you guys don't take me as I am, I will know who my real friends are. If I, the head cheerleader, can come out, so should the rest of you who have been hiding in the closet because of me."

Hesitantly, some students started to stand up to come out to the student body. The rest of students seemed taken aback when they found out that their friends or siblings were gay or bisexual. But eventually they were okay with it.

Jake looked over to Mikayla and Sonny. The two seemed shocked when they found out the head cheerleader was gay. The day was only halfway over and he accomplished this. This was a good way to start my stay here. Jake thought to himself.

He made his way to his sister and Sonny. "How do you guys feel?"

"Good, a little angry, but good. At least I won't have to be worried about being pushed around anymore." Mikayla answered.

"Same here, except being bullied. I've never had that problem." Sonny answered.

"Lucky you." The two girls were just staring into each other's eyes.

Jake cleared his throat and got the attention of the girls. "You're welcome."

"What did you do?" Sonny asked.

"I'm the one who got Tawni to do that speech." He answered.

"You did? Wait, how did you know that she was gay?" Mikayla asked him.

"I talked with her father. I was going to make a speech but she beat me to it." Jake got attacked by two pairs of arms. He was being pulled into a tight hug, he was gasping for air. "Can't...breathe." The hug was loosened but it didn't end.

"I couldn't ask for a better brother." Mikayla said.
