Chapter 4

Spencer POV

"Why did you do it Spence?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, why did you stand up to Madison? Why did you help me?"

"My dad once told me to stand up for what I believe is right and I know that was the right thing to do. You're my best friend Ky. I can't just stand there and watch"

We're at my bedroom. Kyla smiled and jump of the bed to give me a warm hug.

"What am I going to do without you?"

"I don't know Spence. Maybe you and Madison will still be best friends and still be one of the cheerbitches"

"Bite your tongue Kyla" I punched Kyla playfully in the arm

"What happened to you guys anyways?"

Flashback

"What the hell is wrong with you today Spencer? You're a half second late. Shake your ass" Madison put her hands on my hips and glides it. "Like this, see? Focus Spence. Now back to the top ladies"

I focus my eyes on the floor, embarrass to look around as I was holding up the routine. After a couple of rounds more, we finally nailed it.

"That's it ladies. Take a break and be back before the game starts tonight" Madison turned and tugged on my wrist. "Come on, Spencer" We headed to the locker room followed by a few cheerleaders.

"Did you see the new girl?"

"Yeah, I heard she's the daughter of two lesbians"

"Oh, really?"

"No, shit"

"That's gross"

"I heard she hangs out with that dyke"

"Who?"

"Carmen Diaz"

"That's typical of her"

"Ew, are they dating or something?"

"That's dirty. Don't say that"

"I don't care. Just as long as they stay away from us, right, Spencer?"

All this time I was just nodding my head. Agreeing to everything they are saying. I was afraid to disagree. I was a coward. I was a shamed. I hated myself for what I have become. Nobody will understand me. Everyone will hate me. All I can do is put on a façade and wish that nobody sees pass it, see who I was, who I am.

Later, it was half time the King High Cobras is leading by 10 points. As we begin our haft time routine I see the school mascot jumping and cheering the crowd on. I laugh as the mascot does an impromptu break dance. The game ended. King High won by 15 points. Glen being the best player gets carried across the floor and cheered on by most people shaking his hand and patting his back. We headed to the shower room on the way there, Madison saw Glen talking to a short brunette girl. Glen was laughing at something the brunette said making Madison more jealous. As we got closer, Madison body checked the short brunette causing the short girl to fall back.

"Sorry I didn't see you there"

"Be nice Madison" Glen said as he helped the short girl.

"It's ok Glen. I better go" said the short brunette

"Bye" Madison smirked. "Let's go ladies" snapping her fingers and pointing to the locker room.

I finished freshening up and changed. I walked to the parking lot and waited for Glen to finish. My dad will pick us up. I see Madison and a few cheerleaders in the parking lot. I joined them.

"Hey Spencer"

"Are you waiting for Glen?"

"Yea, he said to wait for him here"

Madison turned her head and saw the short brunette from earlier.

"Come on ladies. Let's have some fun"

I followed them and I stood behind Madison as she pushed the short brunette.

"Stay away from Glen. He's mine"

"I didn't know he belonged to someone"

Madison step forward facing the short brunette face to face

"Don't mess with me, this is the last time I'll say it. Stay the hell away from Glen, you dirty ugly dyke" Madison pushed the short brunette again. The brunette falls on the floor. "Don't bother getting up, you belong there" She kicked the ground, sending dirt on the short brunette's face. Tears begin to cloud the brunette's eyes as she stayed still on the ground.

"Kyla"

Carmen Diaz ran towards Kyla helping the short brunette up. "Are you alright?" She checked on the brunette.

"I'm fine"

Carmen turned to Madison ready to hit her but Kyla holds her back. "Let's just go, Carm"

"Listen to your girlfriend, dyke and go home" Madison growled

The two walked away before Carmen sends Madison a quick stare.

"Madison, that wasn't nice"

"Spencer, she should know her place. Don't tell me your one of them?"

Everyone turned their heads and stared at me.

"O..one of them? No, of course not"

"Thank god. We don't need another dyke here. Don't feel sorry of them, Spencer. They're like animals and they deserve to be treated like one"

Everyone nod and agreed to Madison. As I nodded along, I felt like I killed myself a little. Everyone said their good-byes and left me alone. I sat down and buried my face on my hands. I can't help myself and I cried. I didn't know how long I was there. Suddenly, I felt a hand rested on my shoulder. I lifted my head and was startled causing me to jump up holding my hand over my heart. The King High Cobra mascot stood in front of me.

"Sorry didn't mean to frighten you. I saw you crying and come over" a voice came from the mascot

"It's alright" I sat down again. The mascot sat next to me.

"Are you okay? What's wrong?"

"Nothing"

"You can tell me. You can be honest with me"

I looked at the strange mascot thinking why not? Something in its gentle voice gave me strength to open up.

"I'm so confused and afraid"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid to be me"

"Why would you be afraid to be yourself?"

"Cause being me wouldn't be accepted, would be wrong and sinful, wouldn't be normal" I whispered the last words I said. I stared on the ground.

The mascot place is furry hand on my shoulder.

"People fear what they can't understand but not everyone thinks that way, you know? Some people may even surprise you, just give them a chance. All you can do is open up and be yourself. Be yourself, you owe it to you to be happy, to be free. Screw the closed minded pricks, you don't need them in your life anyway"

I stared the mascot in awe. "Nothings that simple"

"Well, nothings that complicated too. Just open up to the right people, you'll see"

"How can you be that all knowing and smart, hmmm cobra mascot?"

"Someone wise once told me true happiness is accepting yourself and…" The mascot was cut off by my dad.

"Ahem. Am I interrupting anything?" I shake my head as I stood up. The mascot followed soon after.

"Spencer! Over here" I turned my head and see Glen waving me over to the car.

"Well, that's my ride. Thanks for the talk smart cobra. I'll see you around"

"Yea, see you ummm around"

I waved good bye and left the mascot with my dad. I gave a quick final glance as I walked away and see them talking for a while before my dad followed me to the car. The next day I gather enough courage to tell my family I was gay.

"It's about freaking time" Glen said. "I needed a proper wingman to pick up girls with"

"Spencer, whoever you are or will be I will accept you with all of my heart because I love you sunshine"

"You guys knew before I did"

"Of course I knew baby sister. Your Barbies didn't want to date my G.I. Joes and you insisted they date each other" He laughed and hugged me.

"Sunshine, you've had a crush on that Ashley Davies singer for so long and made me buy every poster she had. You even put it on the ceiling telling me you want her to be the last thing you see before you sleep and first thing you see when you wake up. If that's not gay, I don't know what is" He hugged both Glen and me tightly.

Glen and my Dad accepted me right away but my mom had a hard time accepting it.

The cobra mascot was right. All I need is to open up to the right people.
