Chapter Fifteen

Spencer’s Story

     "Whoa, wait, so you’re…" Michelle paused with a confused look.

     "Gay." I finished her sentence.

     "Yeah?" She asked clearly still confused.

     "Yeah, I am." I told her.

     "Since when?" She asked.

     "I don’t know Michelle, when I met Ashley this summer, everything just fell into place, like we were meant to be, and i love her a lot." I said.

     "Wow…" Was all she could get out, I guess she was in some state of shock.

     "You don’t hate me now do you Michelle?" I asked unsure and kind of scared of her answer.

     "What?! Are you kidding Spencer, you’re my best friend, nothing will change that, not even a stupid lable." She said with a reasurring smile.

     "Well, that’s a relife." I said becoming more relaxed. "Do you want to see what see looks like?"

     "Of course."

     I reached into my back pocket and pulled out a picture that I brought, just in case.

     "That’s her." I said pointing to Ashley. It was the pic with her, and I, also Brittany and Kyla when we were singing and dancing in the back of Marty’s truck.

     "Wow, she’s really pretty." She said holding the picture in her hands.

     "Yeah she is." I said with a shy smile. She handed it back and smiled.

     "So, have you guys, ya know?" She asked raising her eye brows.

     "Uhh.." I said awkwardly.

     "No way! How many times?!" She asked.

     "Michelle!" I protested, I could feel my cheeks getting red.

     "Two? Three?" She kept going on, "More?! Oh my gosh Spencer! You little horndog!" She said with a laugh. I just shook my head and laughed with her.

     "Well, she is hot, so who can blame you right?"

     "I’m starting to wonder about you." I said and she laughed.

     "So what does your mom think about you being gay? Or have you told her?" She asked, I stayed scilent.

     "Spencer, she’s going to flip," she stated, "Do you remember in church a few years ago when there was a lesbian couple and your mom kept saying "I hope they find their way, because they won’t be accepted.." I can just picture your mom now." She finished, shaking her head alittle.
