contains some weird structure or lack of American High school knowledge
just know I try.

There will always be a note from me at the end of each chapter.


After dropping off Lucy I drove home. I hope she didn't notice my obvious
mental absence. I guess once Lucy trusts someone she opens up like a
beautiful tulip, and once that happens she talks a lot. And I mean a lot.
Lucy lives in a nice suburban house. Her parents aren't the richest but I
guess they manage quite well, not well enough for Lucy to have her own car
yet but I guess that will happen in the future. I live a little further
from school than most of my friends. Our little town is located about 30
minutes from Pittsburg in Pennsylvania. It is an older town but with a lot
of newly built houses scattered around. Someone told me last year that
there was something like a fire that burned down half of the town 50 years
ago and afterward they decided to just build new houses. I live in one of
those houses, it was newer than the others though as my parents had it
built before we moved here. I finally turned the corner into my street and
saw my house. It was rather big but not mansion style but I liked it. There
was already a car in the driveway which belonged to my mother. I sighed,
not who I wanted to be alone with right now.


My family knows about me being gay, I came out to them when we first moved
here. I said that I was bisexual. I don't know why but I guess to lessen
the blow or something? Anyways my father and little brother weren't
surprised and they didn't care. My mother on the other hand was not too
glad. I don't think she is that accepting just yet. She was super excited
when I brought home Emily too. I guess her wanting grandchildren is getting
the best of her sometimes. Well I'll just leave that to my younger
brother. He is a year younger and just started high school too. He is
called Anthony but likes to be called Tony for short. I guess he got the
looks and I got the brains in this family. He isn't that smart but already
a lady killer. To say the least. I got out of my car and headed inside.


"Hey sweetie! How was school?" my mom said as continued working on this
crossword. "It was fine, we didn't do that much. It was more just talking
with my friends." I answered. She looked up from her crossword
now. "Alright, I don't want to receive any phone calls though, so behave
yourself." She said with her normal `don't do anything stupid' face. Her
face quickly got back normal though. "Did you see Emily today too?". God, I
knew this was coming. After I broke up with Emily I also broke the news of
me being gay, 100%. Not 90% or even 95% no, 100%. Save to say that she did
not believe me. I looked at her and rolled my eyes, she hates that. "Yes I
did mom, we pretended to be back together as a joke." This surprised
her. "Oh great. Tell me when it is for real though." I took that as my que
to leave and quickly got something to eat from the fridge and ran
upstairs. When we moved here we all decided to only speak English to each
other. It helps integrate more or something, not my idea but I just
agreed. The move was hard enough already, and it was definitely not my
intention to make it even harder by fighting with my parents over something
like that.


My room is not too big. It contains a two-person bed, a walk-in closet, a
desk and a television with a ps4. I am not one for posters or anything like
that. So my walls are just plain (and boring), but that is the way I like
it. I fell down on my bed and started typing away on my phone. I decided to
post an Instagram post and also follow Dylan. I mean if we were going to be
stuck next to each other for the rest of the year I needed to follow him on
the gram. I put on the new Ariana Grande and started messaging with Emily
about which picture to post when someone knocked on my door. I looked up
surprised, no one knocked on my door. Ever. I turned down the music a bit.
"Uhm, come in?" I said to whoever was on the other side. The door opened
and it was just Jack. "Yo man, want to come to the gym with me?" he
asked. I wanted to go anyway so this was convenient. "Yes sure, let me just
change into something sporty. One sec." I walked towards my closet and got
some stuff to change into. Sure enough I found some good workout gear. I
stripped down to my boxers and changed. Jack was just typing away on his
phone on my bed. "Who are you texting?" I already knew but decided to just
fuck with him. "Rose, I am trying to get her to go out with me Friday
night, but she is playing very hard to get." He sighed in frustration. "I
know she is into me, I mean we did kiss at that party. Why is she playing
this hard to get though." I decided to just shrug it off with my signature
answer to Jack's women trouble "Women man, they make you do all the work."
I knew this wasn't true but I had to keep up my image of straight
kid. "Alright I'm ready let's go!" we got downstairs and I told my mom that
we were going to the gym. "Just be home by 6, we are eating hutspot."
"Really mom, you know I hate that stuff!". Sometimes my mom would start
missing Holland. That usually means eating all kinds of stupid typical
Dutch food. Which I hated. Jack and I got into my car and we left. He was
looking at me with this stupid shit eating grin of his though. "You know, I
have only eaten it twice but that stuff is fucking great. I don't
understand why you don't like it?" "I just don't it's just like you not
liking tomatoes." That got him to shut up quickly enough.


I have always loved working out. I am not that much into sports of any
sorts, but working out helps me keep my energy levels under control. Oh and
also keeps my body in shape which is cool too. The one thing I hated about
gyms were the locker rooms though, seeing all the naked men casually
swinging their junk. Let's just say I wanted to get out of there sooner
rather than later.


Jack didn't notice my eagerness to get out of there, he never did. "So do
you think I stand a chance with her?" I looked up, which was a mistake, and
quickly looked down again. "I don't know man, she is really hot. Not that
you don't stand a chance. I mean you do work out and such." "That's true!
My body looks fineee" he said with a smirk. That's why I liked Jack. He
always spoke his mind. Which got him into trouble ever so often, but I
appreciated it. "Keep dreaming man. You ready to go?" I was eager to get
out of this place already. "Jeez you really don't like to wait do you, okay
let's go."


Working out felt great. During the holidays I couldn't work out that much
since I was in Europe so I was a bit out of shape. Jake however wasn't and
after two hours I was an absolute wreck. I was pretty sure that I couldn't
run 20 feet even if I wanted to. During those two hours I had a good time
catching up with Jack. He had already started football training two weeks
prior and he was certain that they would have a chance at winning
state. Although I didn't mind talking about football, for half an hour
max. Two hours had me next to physically beaten mentally dead as well. To
make matters worse I was going to be late for dinner. We had forgotten the
time and it was about 5:45 pm. I decided we had to skip the shower and do
it at home. "Sorry man but I really can't be late again." "Alright sure,
just drive". Jack said grumpily. I know he didn't like waiting to shower
but I didn't like a mad mother. Safe to say that the decision was not a
hard one.


I arrived at home 5 minutes late but that was alright. 5 minutes late is
nothing to worry about I guess. Dutch people are not known for being
punctual. "Wow kid I could smell you from outside, didn't you think taking
a shower would do you any good?" I had barely opened the front door. I
couldn't help but smile at my father. He was a tall guy around 6 feet 4 and
tried to keep in shape. One thing I loved about him was that he was always
trying to make us laugh. Which worked most of the times. "Sorry old man, I
just couldn't wait to get my hands on this lovely food mom cooked!" Mom
sighed "do you have to be so cynical about everything? Just go take a
shower, and don't you dare take longer than 10 minutes or I will drag you
out of that shower!". "You know she isn't kidding right so you better get
your ass up there, you already wasted a minute" Anthony said while setting
a timer. I sighed and rolled my eyes, again. Before my mom could say
something though I ran upstairs and stripped down. I didn't know you could
take a shower this quick. Maybe I should try that tomorrow morning too. I
might be able to sleep for another 15 minutes. I rushed down stairs just in
time. "Damn you are actually on time? 23 seconds to spare." Anthony said,
actually looking surprised. "Could you do this more often? Then I don't
have to wait 30 minutes for you to be finished in the bathroom every
morning." I sat down and kicked him under the table. He just laughed at my
sad attempt. "Boys calm down, tell me about your first day" my father
said. While trying to shove this awful food down I told him about my
day. Of course leaving out the part of me running into Carter. I did tell
them about Dylan. "Oh I know him, he's on the JV football team. He is
amazing at it, I'm sure that he will make varsity next year!" Apparently,
Tony thought highly of Dylan. I forgot to mention that Tony is also a
football player. Not that he is any good, he wanted to do something
`American' when we moved here so he has been training his ass off to get
better. I won't admit it to him but he has gotten a lot better.


"Yes he is cool, Jack is also taking an AP course this year. I have
economics with him and Adam. Lucy even said that she would tutor him if is
grade fell below a B so I guess he'll be fine" "Wait I didn't know those
Jocks were smart? I didn't read that in my preparation books before moving
here?" my father said, trying to keep a straight face. He really did read
lots of books on moving to the states beforehand. "I know you did honey,
you can't learn everything from books though so don't be surprised when
things don't turn out as they should." My mom said. I don't think my father
and brother noticed but I was certain that that latter part was directed at
me. I had suddenly lost my already close to non-existent appetite and just
stared at her. However, my father as oblivious as ever, didn't notice this
passive aggressive comment. "I know I know, well at least some things were
right. I mean it said that Dutch schools were harder than high school."
Tony nodded in agreement and my mom looked at him in surprise "They still
have to work hard. Don't you dare put any ideas in their minds Sam!" "Oh, I
was just kidding kids you know that right, I expect you both to achieve
your full potential." "Yes sir" we both said in unison and that got rid of
the tension. My father's real name is Samuel but he didn't like how it is
pronounced in English so he changed it to Sam. He told us about his day at
work. He works at a big international firm that build airplane parts for
all sorts of aviation companies. Which is also the reason why we moved
here, the firm wanted a man on what they call `ground zero'. He had always
wanted to move to the states and well my mother did too. I also wanted the
high school experience so I was on-board from the first minute. Tony
however, wasn't that eager but in the end came through.

Dinner went on at its natural pace and before long I was back in my room
working on some homework. I guess teachers didn't care that it was the
first day, but it wasn't that much so after 30 minutes I was already
finished. I finally decided which picture to post though, and messaged
Emily to tell her which one I had picked. I posted it and saw that Dylan
had accepted my follow request and had requested to follow me back. I
gladly accepted and he was even the first one to like my post, damn! The
picture was of me and one of my old friends in Amsterdam. I also had one
with us smoking weed but didn't want to be that cliché so I decided
against it. Still it was a good picture and I liked how I looked in
it. Hell I thought I looked good in it.


I decided to call Emily and gossip about some things with her. It was only
8 pm and I was bored.

Me: Hey you up?

God this is just like old times I thought to myself, only now it isn't
meant as a sexual text. Emily and I had been in a pretty serious
relationship. It was sad that after 7 months I began to notice that I might
not be as attracted to females as I once thought. We already had done some
second base stuff like a blowjob and me fingering her but I had always had
some trouble to stay hard. Thinking back I still don't know how I never
noticed that I could only get hard after thinking of some hot boy. Not that
the sex was bad at all, she was amazing. I was just 100% gay. I guess that
is also how she must have known too.


Emily: Of course! Whatsup?  Me: Want to call?


My phone immediately lit up and it was an incoming call from Emily. She was
always there to talk to and I could tell her anything that was on my mind.


"Hey babe whatsup?" she asked sounding concerned. "nothing I just wanted to
call and talk to you" I laughed. "Oh phew you had me scared there for a
second, I thought you already had boy trouble!" "Nah it's not that
bad. Yet. But just wanted to talk to you, we didn't have that much of a
chance at school. With you only being in German with me." I really wasn't
that happy about this. Last year we took almost all classes together and
now we only had one together. "Don't worry man I just wanted to spend more
time on cheerleading and such. I'm sure that I will try to take AP courses
next year again. By the way did you see all the boys looking at me during
homeroom. It was a-ma-zing." "Damn of course I saw it was almost like they
were ready to eat you for breakfast."  "You know there is this one
boy. Never mind." Hold up that was not something I would be letting go off
that easily "What do you mean, tell me who is it." I was getting excited
now. "I don't know, he is on the football team though. He is seriously hot,
a junior and really lean." "Omg just tell me who it is already!" After we
broke up Emily dated a couple of dudes but none were too serious. So of
course I was excited about this. "Well he has these amazing blue eyes" I
then figured out she was messing with me. She was talking about Carter and
I didn't even notice. She started laughing. "Girl one day you're going to
find someone you actually like and I will be praying that he is secretly
gay." This made her laugh even harder. "I don't think that will happen, no
one is stupid enough to fall for those types twice." She was talking about
me. I couldn't help it and started laughing too. It is great that we can
talk about it so freely with each other. "but really though who is on your
list for this year? Maybe some hot junior. What about Grey?" Grey was this
really hot guy who was also very popular. He has been single for quite some
time now and I bet you that Emily can tie him down. Even if only to the bed
for one night. "Maybe maybe, I mean he is cute and his body is great. I'll
think about it. I got to go though. Mom is telling me to hang up and go to
bed. Cya tomorrow babe" I looked at my digital clock and saw that we had
already been talking for over 40 minutes, damn. "Joe, bye babe cya
tomorrow!"


I decided to play some games on my PlayStation and then hit the hay
early. I wanted to catch a morning run tomorrow. I try to take runs at
least 3 times a week. I love it and when the weather is nice I enjoy it
even more. Soon enough it was time for me to go to bed. Thankfully my
parents are already in bed. They don't like it when I play on the PS at
this time.


I quickly undressed and put on my sleep-t-shirt. I normally sleep just in
my underwear but I find a t-shirt is better for your skin. So a t-shirt it
is. I kind of wanted to just jerk off but wasn't feeling it tonight so
decided against it. Wait who am I kidding, I'm a 16-year-old boy of course
I was feeling it. I pulled down my underwear and I was already rock hard. I
am not hung or anything but I like my dick. It is a bit bigger than 7
inches. I started jerking off and my mind kept wandering off to Carters hot
body. I started fantasizing about his dick and him kissing me. It felt
amazing, he was fucking me in my bed. He kept saying how great of a feeling
this was and how my ass was amazing. "Fuck fuck" I said panting, I was
going to come without even looking at porn? I groaned and came, I don't
think I ever came this hard.  I had cummed all over my chest and even some
on my face. Fuck now I needed to clean this up. I got up and prayed that no
one would be in the bathroom. I silently opened my door and quickly glanced
around to see if anyone was there. Thankfully I was alone. I made my way
into the bathroom and washed it off. Jesus, I really was all worked up. I
hadn't jerked off in a week though so that must have helped.


I got back in bed and fell asleep. The last thought I remembered was of
Carter. I mean I'm sure that he is just as straight as they come.


I got woken up by the sound of my alarm clock. It was 6:30 am. I quickly
got out of bed and brushed my teeth. Jumped into my running gear and went
downstairs. My father was already there eating his breakfast. He always
liked to be on time and take all the time needed to eat his breakfast. I
understand that because hell, breakfast is the most important meal of the
day am I right! "Hey pap good morning." One thing that I kept from Dutch is
the word for father. I just think it sounds better than dad. "Good morning
kid, are you going for a run?" He was sitting in his bathrobe at the table
eating some eggs with toast. "You know I am old man, want to join me next
time?" I said laughing, this was our standard joke. He was always in a good
mood in the morning but going for a run with me? I don't think he would
survive. He knows this too and looked at me while smiling. "Maybe next time
kid, now go or you are going to be late again!" "I am never late you know
that right" and off I went. Normally I would be running with Jack but since
football started he wanted to make sure he was well rested. Which means
that he would only join me ever so often.


I was feeling it today so I took the longer route. I would normally only
run 3 miles but today I went for 4. This route would take me through my
street into the park that is located nearby. It was a really beautiful
place and everyone liked coming here in the summer to have a picnic or just
hang out throwing a football around. However, as it was only 6:40 AM the
park was completely empty. I enjoyed the peacefulness of the park a lot
during these morning runs. Just as I was about halfway done I saw someone
else running towards me.


It took me some time to recognize them but when I did I was
surprised. Running towards me was Rose. The girl who so happened to have
captured Jack's heart. If I wanted to help out my friend this might
actually be a great time to do so. I slowed down a bit. "Hey Rose fancy
seeing you here!" damn really is that the best I have? Luckily, we got
along pretty well and talked ever so often so this wasn't that weird. "Hey
Thomas how are you? I didn't know you liked to run". "I'm good thanks, I do
it about thrice a week to get into shape you know" shit I had to come up
with something to talk to her about. She laughed "Well it doesn't look like
you still need that much work because you look fine" oh shit was she
flirting with me? This was definitely not part of the plan. "Really?
Thanks, I normally run with Jack but now that football season has started
he needs his beauty sleep". This got the reaction I wanted, and the
attention off me. She looked at me with surprise. "Wait you work out with
Jack? Oh damn I forgot that you are friends sorry it's just that he is on
the football team and they normally only run with their own little group."
I got the impression that she wasn't too keen on the football team. I could
use this. "Oh they do? Jack doesn't like to hang out with them as much. I
guess we are more on his level, mentally. He only really hangs out with
them ever so often and of course plays football with them. Other than that,
he sticks to our little group." Jackpot, her eyes told me she approved of
this. I guess my hunch that she isn't into the whole football attitude was
correct. "That is cool to hear, I hoped he wouldn't be one of those kids
anyways. Some of them are pretty nice but all they want is some girl to get
in bed with. You know what I mean?" "Yes totally, Jack is definitely not
one of those kids." She started to smile and then looked at her
phone. "Shit got to dash Thomas sorry, it is already late. Say hi to Jack
for me will you" and off she was. However, she turned around after 20 feet
"By the way I really like your accent!". Well that was interesting, this
made me happy. Jack will probably kiss me for this because I've got a
feeling that he will be getting his date after all. I guess she was just
reluctant because of the whole football team thing. Which I totally
understand, this American thing still confuses me sometimes. Just then my
phone beeped and I remembered that I was literally running late.


I sprinted back home and quickly took a shower. It was almost time for me
to pick up Lucy and I would also be taking Tony. One of the downsides of
getting this car from my parents was that I had to bring Tony to
school. Although he sometimes pitched a ride from one of his friends. "Here
you go. Don't forget to bring Tony back too" my mom said while giving me my
lunch. Once I had forgotten to wait for Tony, he had to sit outside school
for over 40 minutes while it was pouring with rain. Safe to say my parents,
and Tony were NOT amused.


 Normally I make my own lunch but obviously I was running late. "C'mon man
let's go!" Tony said while typing away on his phone. I guess he is texting
with his newest girlfriend. "Have a good day boys" mom said. We got into my
car and I started driving to Lucy's house. Tony however, didn't say
anything to me and hasn't stopped texting since we left. "Who are you
texting kid?" "Oh just this girl from school, she's really nice." I just
grinned, and left it because in a week he will have a new one. I learned
that it is best to just stop asking their names. I don't want to mix them
all up.

Lucy was already waiting outside when I pulled over. "Yo tony get in the
back so Lucy can sit there." He just looked at me and said some Dutch cuss
words not worth repeating while trying to maneuver to the back. "You know
it is easier to just get out using the door, right?" I said while shaking
my head, he is such a stubborn boy. Lucy got in and I quickly started
driving, making Tony almost fall from his seat. Which of course lead to
some more cussing. "What is he even saying to you? It sounds really funny"
Lucy said while trying not to chuckle at Tony. "He is cussing, and I won't
translate it for you. Believe me you aren't missing out on anything." "Oh
boy I sure won't." Lucy started talking about how apparently someone was
hosting a party on Friday but I was too busy thinking about how this weird
Adam situation I still hadn't resolved for it to really reach me.


Soon we reached school and Tony left without saying a word. "Just come to
my car when you're done showering I'll wait" I yelled after him. I hoped
that he heard it but he gave me a thumb up as he was walking away so I
guess he did. He had football training the last two periods but he still
had to shower afterwards. "Hey look there are Emily, Jack and Adam. Oh and
some other girl is talking to Jack? Wait isn't that Rose?" I turned around
and saw it too. "Oh damn yes that is Rose, damn let's find out what that is
about." We quickly walked towards them. Emily saw us first: "Hey Babe, hey
Lucy" She was obviously trying to not make any snarky comments about what
is happening next to her. Just then Rose turned to me and smiled "Hey
Thomas, guess you made it back too. Got to go, see you around, and don't
forget Jack" and off she was again. Jeez she really was fast. "Wait what
was that about? Have you made it back from where?" Jack said looking at me
with splinted eyes. Oh shit time to defuse this situation. "Yes I ran into
her this morning while I was taking my morning run. We talked and I was
almost late, but it looks like you finally got your date!" This got Jack to
smile. "Yes she just agreed to a date. We're going out for dinner before
the party this Friday, and afterwards going to the party together," Just
then the bell rang and we all went to our classes. I was happy for Jack
though.


The day went by fast enough and before I knew it I was already back in AP
Geography seated next to Dylan. I had just texted Tony to let him know he
better be fast with showering because I wanted to get to the pool at
Emily's place. Dylan and really get along pretty well and we were also a
good team. The teacher made us do some practical assignments which was
cool. Turns out that he is not stupid, like at all. We finished it before
the bell rang so we didn't have any homework. Much to my relieve. Emily had
texted us to come over after school and go for a swim at her pool. It was
really hot today. 85 degrees and I was sweating like crazy. I felt sorry
for the football players currently training, but that just made me think of
Carter and his amazing body looking great while the sweat is dripping off
him. "So do you want to come to our party Friday?" I had totally forgotten
about Dylan. I felt a bit ashamed that I was fantasizing about his brother
while he was sitting right next to me. Wait why did he say `our' party?
"Wait is it your party?" "Half, my brother and I are hosting. Our parents
are gone for the weekend so we just decided to trash the place" he said
grinning. I started laughing. Typical Americans, I had always thought this
was just for stories but it does happen. "Uhm I don't know yet". "Please
come, Jack will be there too, oh and you can bring Emily too if you want."
I looked at him questioningly "Emily huh, so that's why you want me to
come". He turned a dark shade of red and quickly countered "No definitely
not I want you to come but you know, she is hot. Wait didn't you used to
date her?" I didn't think that many people knew about our relationship but
I guess we weren't that secretive about it either. "Yes I did, but we are
just friends now so don't worry she is single and ready to mingle. That is
if you can get her to be interested in you of course." He turned an even
deeper shade of red. "I don't stand a chance but I know a lot of juniors
who would like to get to know her." I suppose that was true. "Alright, I'll
ask my parents and I'll ask Emily too." He looked happy, I guess he really
wanted me to come. The bell chose just then to ring. "Cool dude but I got
to go so cya tomorrow" and off he dashed, I guess he had to go somewhere. I
walked towards my car and then remembered that I hadn't talked to Adam all
day. I really should talk to him though. I decided that I would just talk
to him at Emily's place. Lucy had gotten a ride from Jack so I was alone
waiting for Tony inside my car. I really had to talk to Adam about this
because it was scaring me. What if he knew about me, would it be awkward? I
mean he is also gay so I'm pretty sure that he won't mind. I chuckled to
myself that would be funny.


"What are you laughing about?" I turned to see who was talking to me but it
was just Tony. Hair still wet from the showers. "Nothing for you to worry
about kid, oh and you better put a towel around your hair. I don't want it
to be all wet." Which of course he didn't do. "Well you wanted me to hurry
so here I am, deal with it" "Sorry, I know. Let's go." I pulled out of the
car park and started driving towards home. "So how was training?" I was
never one for this football stuff but I guess I wanted to be a good
brother. He eyed me questioningly though. "How come you care all of a
sudden?" "No need to be so suspicious about it. I am just interested in it
that's all. Would you please explain some of the stuff to me again though?"
His suspicion disappeared into a smirk. "I see what you are doing. You are
into a football player and now you want me to help you out so you won't
make a fool out of yourself when you start talking to them." Shit he saw
right through me but damn he really is a good brother. "That is nothing for
you to worry about kid, just explain it to me alright."  He kept on smiling
and just nodded. What followed was a 20-minute car drive of him talking
non-stop and me trying to remember it all.


"Alright I think I covered everything now." We were already turning the
final corned and our house was visible. I don't think I got everything he
said but I guess I'll do well enough when questioned to pass. "Thanks kid,
that really helped a lot. And I mean a lot!" He smiled "Yes no problem bro,
go get that football player. Whoever it might be he would be damn lucky to
have you." Darn my brother is a real sweetheart sometimes. "Thanks kid go
dry your hair now though." He laughed and got out of the car. I quickly ran
inside and told my mom that I would be going over to Emily's house and that
I'd eat dinner there. "Alright have fun, don't be late it is a normal
school day remember!" She said, I guess me going to Emily helped with her
being so lax. I rolled my eyes "yes say hi to Pap for me."


I arrived at Emily's place pretty late. Everyone had already gotten there
and her mother let me in. "Good to see you again Thomas, how is your
mother?" Emily's mom is a real sweetheart and I always like to talk with
her. "Yes she is fine thank you." I casually looked around to see where
everyone was at and I guess I wasn't that casual as she noticed. She
started laughing "they are outside I'll get you something to drink in a
bit" I smiled and thanked her. Sure enough the whole squad was just
chilling out next to Emily's pool. "Hey guys!"


"Look who finally decided to show up! The ever so punctual Dutch kid!"
"Hello to you too Jack, I guess I won't be wing manning for you again."
That got him to shut up. I brofisted Jack, and Adam. And hugged Lucy and
Emily. We started talking about how we were already drowning in
homework. Which somehow escalated with me pushing Jack into the pool, and
me following suit. We splashed around a bit until I casually got out and
sat down next to Adam. "I haven't talked to you at all since we started
school man, whatsup?" I tried to casually ease into this conversation but I
guess Adam wasn't having any of that. "Alright the person you had sex with
back in Europe this holiday was a boy right." "Uhm wait, what, why how?"
That was a stupid answer and that just confirmed his theory. "No need to
worry man I already knew you were into boys" I decided to just go with
it. "Alright yes I am gay but I don't want to come out yet so please keep
it to yourself alright." This surprised him. "Wait you are gay? Oh fuck I
was guessing bisexual at most. I mean you did date Emily for 10 months last
year." "Yes she knows I'm gay but please do keep it a secret for now
alright?" "Okay sure thing man, but if you ever want to come out
spectacularly please tell me because I want to be a part of that so much" I
smiled, this conversation turned out to go better than I had ever hoped
for. "Yes man no problem, thanks it really is a relief to tell you though."
He was about to answer when Emily's mom walked out to tell us that dinner
was ready. "No problem man" we hugged. Lucy saw this though and looked at
me weird. Jesus first Adam and now Lucy? Everyone is looking at me weird
these past two days. I shrugged it off and we ate a lovely dinner and just
chilled with everyone. It was good to be with my friends again. Before we
knew it, it was time to get going and we reluctantly said goodbye.


I happily drove Lucy home, and although I knew she wanted to say something
she didn't. I was also not ready to tell more people just yet so we just
talked about our classes together. After dropping her off I drove home
jamming to Taylor Swift and I felt relieved. I mean I did just come out to
another person and it had felt good. No it had felt great. Next up on my
agenda, surviving a couple more days and then go wild at this party. Back
in Holland I always called it going `naar de getver gaan' so that is what I
will be doing. Ah shit I still have to ask Emily though. I decided against
texting her right now and just ask her tomorrow instead. I was still really
looking forward to this party, even if Emily didn't want to come. I mean it
is Carter's party after all.




Hi people who read my story, if there any at all I don't even know. Thanks
for reading chapter 2 though. The next chapters will also be around this
size. This is my first time writing and I have a lot of free time at the
moment so a lot of chapters will be released the coming time. Just bear
with me because the drama is only starting, and boy I love drama.
