Chelsea! She told me yesterday that she gets here early to paint in the art studio. I need to tell her that I made the team.
As I turned the corner to the art classes, I took out my phone to check the time. Its 7:10, she should be here by now. I opened the door to the studio that Chelsea is usually in.
"Chelsea are you- OH MY GOD!" Next thing I know I heard my phone crack on the ground. What the fuck is going on?
"Spencer! What are you doing here?" Chelsea says fixing her clothes. I pick up the remains of my phone, it cannot be fixed. Great now I have to get a new phone.
"I came here to tell you that I made the team, but the more important question is what are you two doing in here?" I say standing up and crossing my arms over my chest.
"Umm…well…"Chelsea stutters.
"I'm waiting." I say as I take a seat in the chair next to the door. Chelsea stays quiet. "How about you, can you tell me what's going on Carmen?" I say with a smirk.
She looks at Chelsea nervously and shrugs. "I have to get going. I will see you two at lunch." She picks up her bag and leaves.
"Look, I didn't want you to find out this way, but you did." She begins to play with her fingers. "We…Carmen and I are dating."
I nod. "Well I would hope that you were dating, I mean I hope you wouldn't make out with just anyone." I had a feeling there was something going on between those two. I am just a little hurt that Chelsea didn't tell me before. "I just want to know why you didn't tell me that you were dating Carmen. Let alone that you were gay or bi or whatever."
Chelsea walks to me and takes the seat next to me. She sighs before replying. "I'm gay. I haven't dated a guy since your brother. I haven't told you because I didn't know how you would take it, you know with your family being super religious and all. And then the way you reacted when you found out that Carmen was gay. I was going to tell you tonight actually."
"I guess that's understandable, but Chelsea I love you. You are my best friend; I would never disown you just because you are gay. I actually wanted to talk to you about –" The fucking bell cut me off. I stood up and grab my bag. "We will finish this conversation after school. I'll see you at lunch, ok?"
"Yea sounds good. And maybe we can stop at the mall so that you can pick up a new phone." She laughs while giving me a hug.
I laugh. "Yea that would be a good idea. I'll see you later Chels." I turn around and go to my first class of the day.
I still can't believe that Chelsea didn't tell me that she was gay. I mean it has been a couple years since she's been with Glen. The signs were there though so I can't deny that. I saw how she treated Carmen and how they would sit so close but separate whenever I was around. How could I not know? I wonder if there are any other gay people that I don't know about.
I'm knocked out of my thoughts yet again.
"I thought after the first two times we bumped into each other, you would start watching where you were walking." The said and laughed. I know that voice.
I look up to see a smiling Ashley. Her nose is crinkling so I can tell it is the same real smile she gave me yesterday. Her voice is sexy, her smile is contagious, and she is gorgeous. Why does she have to be straight? I stop staring and laugh. "Yea sorry about that, I just have a lot on my mind lately."
"Is everything okay?" She asks with a concerned look on her face.
I barely know her. I can't just come out to her like that. But there is something about her that makes me want to tell her everything. On the other hand, she is straight, and she might be homophobic. Why does being gay have to be so hard?
"I-" Ring! Ring! Ring! I hate the fucking bell! "I'm late for class now." I sigh.
"Me too obviously." She blushes and giggles. "Wanna ditch?" Aww she seems nervous.
Snapping out of my day dreaming, I take in what she asked. I've never ditched school a day in my life. I can't just leave school like that.
I guess she notices my inner dilemma because she says "It will only be for first period, I mean we are already late."
She does have a point, we are already late. And I just remembered that I have a new schedule that I have to follow starting on Monday. I can just act like I thought I was supposed to start it today instead.
"Okay where do you want to go?" Gosh I've known her for less than twenty four hours and she already has me ditching school.
"There's this little playground right around the corner that I always go to when I just want to relax. We can go there." She says walking off the campus, with me following behind her.
We walk about ten minutes until we get the playground. She continues to walk until she gets to this huge oak tree, and sits down in the grass. I take a seat next to her and look around the park.
"So tell me about yourself Spencer." Ashley says out of nowhere.
"There's not much to know Ashley." I say leaning back on the tree trunk.
"Well what do you do for fun?" She says following me.
I sigh. "Not much really. I like listening to music and I like to write. Oh and I play basketball."
"Really? Why don't you play for the school?"
"As of today, I do." I smile.
She looks at me and smiles. "So that means, I will be seeing more of you." I give her a confused look. "You do know that I am the head cheerleader, right?"
And the light bulb goes off. "Oh yea I forgot about that." I laugh. "So you will be my cheerleader?" I say with a smirk and hoping that I won't cross any lines.
She laughs and nods. "Technically I will cheer for the team, but I can be your cheerleader if you like."
I blush like crazy. Is anyone else hot? "Well I guess I can share." I play it off.
"Have it your way." She smirks. All of this flirting is making me more upset that she is straight and she has a boyfriend. Wait why is she flirting when she has a boyfriend?
"You're dating Aiden right?" I ask suddenly while looking at her. She tenses a little.
"Yea…yea I am." She looks away.
"You sound so excited about that." I say sarcastically.
"He is a great guy. Anyone would be lucky to have him."
"Then what's the problem?"
She seems like she's lost in thought and having a debate with herself. Then she sighs. "There is no problem. So what's it like to be Glen's sister?"
I guess she didn't want to talk about that anymore. Oh well maybe she will tell me another time. "He gets annoying at times, but it could have been worse. I think if we weren't twins, we wouldn't have the same relationship that we do have."
She laughs and I look at her with a confused look. "You and Glen are twins?"
"Yea, I thought you knew that."
"No he just told me that you were his sister. You two seem so different; I would have never thought that you were twins."
"Different how?" I am really curious to know what she thinks about me.
"Well he is so…well…he's Glen. There's no other way to put that. And you, well you seem calm, relaxed, funnier, and a lot nicer." She laughs.
I blush a little. "I try."
We fall into a simple conversation and I lose track of time. I didn't notice how long we were out there until my stomach started grumbling.
"Oh wow, I guess we should get back to school. It is already lunch time." Ashley said looking at her phone.
I stand up abruptly and grab my bag. "It's already lunch?" I yell.
"Yea I guess we lost track of time, sorry."
My parents are going to freak out when they find out that I ditched most of the school day. Oh well I guess you have to break the rules sometimes. She stands up and we began to walk back to school.
"No it's ok. I should have checked the time myself. I'm usually more responsible." Then I remembered that my phone is broken. "Well I couldn't have checked the time if I wanted to, my phone broke when I dropped it today."
"At least you have an excuse to get a new phone."
"That's true. I have wanted to get a new one."
"See it all works out. And when you get your new phone, maybe you will be lucky enough to get my number." I turn to her and she winks at me. Gosh that's so hot. Is everything she does this hot?
"What makes you think I want your number?"
She laughs. "Because you like talking to me and if you had my number you would be able to talk to me anytime you wanted."
"I see you have no shame in hiding your ego. It reminds me of someone I know actually." I smile just thinking of LAbabe4u.
"Oh really? Who is that?"
I contemplate on whether or not I should tell her. Would she think it's weird that I have an online friend? I guess I will just have to find out.
"She's this girl that I m-"
"Hey Spence, congrats I saw that you made the team!" Glen says picking me up while giving me a hug. I didn't even realize that we made it to school already.
"Thanks Glen, you can put me down now."
He puts me down finally. "Oh sorry, I am just really excited. I knew you would make it." He notices that I am with Ashley. "Oh I see that you two hit it off." Hit it off? He says that like we were on a date or something.
"Yea I was nervous at first because I thought that anyone that was related to you would be crazy, but lucky for me, she isn't that bad." Ashley says with a smile. Wait one minute. Lucky for her? How does that make her lucky? And I'm not that bad?
"Not that bad?' I raise my eyebrow at her.
"I'm kidding Spence!" She exclaims. Glen and I both raise our eyebrows at her again.
"Spence?" Glen says. "How close are you two exactly?"
"Well…I…we…she" Ashley stutters. Aww that's so cute.
"Ashley it's ok. You can call me Spence, I like it." I blush a little.
"Is there something I should know?" Glen asks looking between me and Ashley.
"No. I have to meet Chelsea. Bye Glen, later Ashley." I say and walk away. That was close.
I get to the table and Chelsea and Carmen are sitting close together.
"Hey lovers." I smile as I take my seat across from them. They finally stay as they are and don't move as they did every other day.
Chelsea laughs and shakes her head. "Hey Spence."
"Hi Spencer." Carmen says. "Oh and sorry about just leaving earlier, I didn't know how you would react to what happened."
"It's ok I get it. If I was in that same situation I would probably just leave too." I smile.
I take out my lunch and start eating.
"Wait that's it? You aren't going to grill us?" Chelsea asks disbelievingly.
I laugh. "Oh no I am going to interrogate you, but I will do that later tonight." She gulps and I smile at her. Then I look at Carmen. "Oh Carmen are you busy tonight?"
"Uh well…Yea I have to-"
"Oh great so you can sleep over at Chelsea's with me." I clap my hands. "Tonight's going to be so much fun." They laugh and continue eating, I follow.
I feel someone looking at me so I look around the quad to see who is staring. My eyes land on Ashley. She is at the table with the rest of the cheerleaders. When I look at her she immediately looks down. I smile at her antics. She looks up again and smiles at me.
"What are you smiling at?" Chelsea said bringing my attention back to the table. I forgot that there were any other people here.
"N-Nothing." I take a bite of my sandwich. Chelsea just shrugs.
Feeling her eyes on me again, I look up towards Ashley's table and sure enough she is looking at me. She sticks her tongue out and I laugh.
"What's so funny Spencer?" Carmen asks. I snap my gaze away from Ashley to Carmen.
"N-nothing. Nothing at all."
"Bullshit! Spencer what is funny?' Chelsea says.
I mistakenly look towards Ashley's table, and Ashley is looking towards me. Both Chelsea and Carmen follow my eyes and they see Ashley looking this way. Shit this is not going to end well.
Chelsea turns to look at me again. "Is there something you want to tell me Spence?"
"No. Why would you think that?" I say innocently.
"Well you are smiling and laughing with Ashley Davies. That's not something you do every day. And since when did you two become friends?" She asks.
"We met yesterday before basketball try-outs." I shrug.
"You met yesterday and you are already laughing and smiling at each other? What am I missing?" Chelsea asks with a smirk on her face.
"Nothing we just hung out a little bit today." I wish I could say oh yea and I happen to really like her.
"You what?" Carmen asks.
I look at her confused. "We hung out?"
"And you said that you really liked her." Chelsea almost yells.
I said that out loud! Holy fuck, I'm screwed. "I mean I like her she is a really cool girl." That should work.
"Bullshit, you like her like her. As in I want to date her." Carmen says.
I look up at Ashley again and she is talking with some of the other cheerleaders. She seems happy and peaceful. I wish I could be over there with her. I wish it was me that she was smiling and laughing with.
"Is that true Spencer?" Chelsea asks me. I look at her. She is gay herself so what's the worst that could happen? I guess I will just have to see.
I sigh and brace myself for whatever's about to happen. I close my eyes. "I-I'm…I'm gay."
