Chapter 8

Once out of the class I start kicking so he'll put me down but he doesn't. He just stands there blankly. It's kinda scary, so I stop kicking and start tapping on his shoulder asking him to stop scaring me. He then regains 'consciousness' and looks me in the eye, then puts me down. "I'm sorry" he trails off, I'm still a little scared so I just hug him. Should I still like him? Should I move to a different college or stay with him?!? I wanna go out with him but I'm scared now. I snap out of my dazed state and ask ace why. I don't get a answer. So I repeat "why ace" I feel tears build up in my eyes "what do you want from me? Why do you kiss me then turn silent like your disappointed? Stop just standing there and answer me! PlEASE !!" I feel my voice start to shout at him. "please ace tell m-" I stop midsentance due to ace kissing me with tears streaming down his cheeks. I kiss back to try and reassure him but I feel like my efforts are not helping I stop the kiss and dry his tears, then repeat the question one last time, this time I get a answer. "I like you but...", he trails off then picks the sentence up again "....your straight ain't you, you'd never like a guy, as my mom said being gay is a sin... I - I have to go" he starts to walk towards the exit but I grab his arm and turn him around while he stutters in confusion I kiss him. Still shocked at the result of the events he kisses back and hugs me. I break the kiss once more and let a very embarrassing sentence escape my lips ...
