Before We Come Undone- Kris Allen

Allison's Point of View

The rest of the weekend went by in a blur and pretty soon it was Monday. Emma and I walked to homeroom like nothing out of the ordinary had happened this past weekend.

"So the weekend wasn't that bad," Emma said to me as we walked to homeroom Monday morning.

"Yeah, I guess not," I responded. "It could have been worse."

"He could be dating some looser. At least he's with someone who's cool and knows how to have fun, ya know?" she said.

I smirked. "You got that right. Now come on, we need to get to homeroom. Adam said that we… well I need to give Mr. L his rubber bracelet things back that he left at Adam's this weekend," I said.

"Doesn't Adam hate those things?" Emma asked.

"No. He hates that I fling mine at him from across the room all the time," I replied.

"Speaking of those things, can I borrow one? I forgot mine… well actually my dad took them away from me because I was flinging them across the room at him…. but anyway give me one,"

I rolled my eyes and pulled one off of my wrist and handed it to her.

Emma and I walked into homeroom thirty seconds to spare. All we really did in homeroom was finish any homework that was due that day that we hadn't yet completed. Well that and a sleeping session. Study Hall was the place where we goofed off and had a lot of fun.

The weekend had gone by quickly. It wasn't that bad; it was actually way better than I thought it would be. I actually had a pretty good time. Adam and I spent Saturday and most of Sunday alone together. Mr. L came over Sunday night for a while but that was it.

I could tell that the two of them really cared for each other. I was getting used to it already. Mr. L has done so much for me over the past four years with my dad being gone all the time and just because it's High School and all, so I owed it to him to give this situation a chance.

The bell rang and that signaled the end of homeroom. I yawned and moved up to the front of the room to where my seat for English was. I reached inside of my backpack and got out his multi colored bracelets.

"These are yours," I said, tossing them onto the table at the front of the room that he was standing at. "You left them at Adam's. He said that you would probably want them today even though I told him that you have millions of them…"

Mr. L laughed and picked them up. "Thanks. And I don't quite have a million of them."

"Do to," I shot back. "You have a gazillion of them."

"Fine. I have a lot of them." He put some papers on the podium.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure. What's up?" he replied now slightly leaning over the podium.

"Why don't you tell anyone that you're gay?" I asked him.

Mr. L sighed. "One, its high school. And two, some people do know. Some of the other teachers here that I'm close to know. But I just don't know if I'm really ready for the entire school to know just yet," he replied.

"No one will care, you know. Well we will but not in a bad way. And yeah people will talk- its high school. But it'll all die down, you know. Everyone loves you and were not going to stop because you are who you are, ya know," I said.

He smiled. "I will soon. I don't know when exactly, but I will. Plus, it's not really that fair to Adam."

"It's just a thought, but you might want to… come out before you say that your dating Adam. Too much to process at once, you know?" I responded. "It's just a thought, though."

"I don't know, Alli," he sighed. "It's not really that simple."

Some chick that was in the English class with me walked in. Mr. L and I stopped talking.

"What're you two talking about?" she asked.

"Nothing," the two of us said simultaneously.

"Just think about it, okay?" I told him.

"Yeah," he replied.

Zachary Point of View

I was still thinking about what Allison said to me before first period. I suppose that she was right… coming out of the closet at the same time that I say that I've been in a relationship with Adam for the past five or so months probably wasn't the best idea.

But on the other hand, how exactly was I going to tell basically the entire school that I am gay. Not the easiest thing to do. I should probably tell people soon. After all, Adam and I have been hiding our relationship for five months and as I said before, it wasn't fair to Adam.

There would be the paparazzi following me around; I was aware of that the second that I got into this relationship. Hopefully it wouldn't be that bad. After all, I wasn't with Adam 24/7. I have my own life and all. I have a job and go to collage just like the rest of America.

If I were to come out before Adam and I went public, I have no idea what so ever how I would exactly do that. I couldn't just blurt out that I was gay in the middle of class. Well I could but that wouldn't exactly be the best idea.

Five months ago when I got into this relationship with Adam, I knew that this day would come. I would have to face my fears and tell everybody who I really am. I just didn't know that it would be this difficult to do.

I guess only time would tell.

Allison's Point of View

I went to study hall after lunch with Emma later that day.

"So you think that he'll come out before him and Adam go public?" she asked me after I told her about the conversation that I had with Mr. L that morning.

"I have no clue, but it would be a good idea, don't you think?" I responded.

"Probably but honestly I have no idea. I'm still processing the fact that he's dating Adam," she replied to me.

"I know, right?" I said as we sat down in our seats. Study hall was the same as any other day, so nothing to big there. I didn't have sixth period today; Monday's were a block day, meaning that I we only had periods 1, 2, and 3. Then I could go home. Yay.
