Chapter Three- The secret was out…
A year had passed and we was beginning our exam period. The past year we have grown so much closer it was unbelievable. We messaged each other every single day and became really good friends through the topics we had chosen in year nine. She made me laugh and smile so much and made me happier than I've ever been before. However a part of me was sad, sad that this would soon be coming to an end and we'd go our separate ways. I mean she's so bright, she was definitely going places, why would she still want me? I questioned myself. Over the last year I distanced myself from my friends in fear that they wouldn't understand or that they'd make fun of me. I found myself falling deeper and deeper in love and I'm pretty sure that she was starting to feel it too.
I remember the conversation we had after we left school, we had promised each other that we'd always stay in contact, and to my disbelief we did! Holly had invited me round for pizza and we sat and watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S for hours, it was so fun. But she was leaving for NCS in a few days, a two week summer camp. I had tried to get enrolled onto the same wave as her, but it failed and I ended up heading to Scotland and she went to Wales.
The first week there was no phone signal at all so we barely spoke and I missed her so much. But the second week was all good because there was WIFI so we was able to talk again. At this point the flirting had begun and one night when I was lying in bed I decided it was time to tell her the one thing that was supposed to be a secret…
"Holly, can I tell you something?" I asked
"Yes of course you can, what's up?" She replied
"You won't hate me will you?"
"No of course not, why?"
"I'm gay"
