"How dare you?! How dare you tell the class we're friends?!!!" She screamed at me right after landing that slap on my face. "That's because youre my friend" i managed to curl up a smile on my red face. "Shut up!! We are not friends okay!!! Now you are going to tell everyone exactly what i just said!!"

"But i cant tell a lie. We are friends" 

It wouldn't have cost me anything to just succumb to her wishes but i didnt, all because of the crush i had for her, and that cost me a whole lot. Linda's parents were major sponsors to the school and she managed to create a scandal against me and i got expelled. I spent most of my teenage like being homeschooled and disconnected from the world. I would have loved for my new life to last forever but it all had to stop when my parents told me i would have to be re-enrolled in my former school. Apparently, facing my fears was the best option according them. A story about closeted lesbian teen like me is one that needs to be heard.

The Inner Me

"Because..." I said in anticipation for her reply. I almost got a reply from her but got ruined when we heard footsteps and a classmate walked in.


 It was so nerve racking and I so felt like taking revenge for ruining our conversation. 


Believe me; I already killed you a million times in my head


I turned to see who the person was and to my uttermost surprise, it was Lyn! It felt like it was the best moment to clear out everything but something gave me the urge to leave them alone to talk.


     "I'll leave you guys to talk" I said as I went towards the classroom door. I was about to step out when I felt something holding me back. I turned back and I saw tears rolling down Evelyn's cheeks. She shivered and it looked like she was very scared, an expression I wouldn't make even if I saw a ghost. I didn't take a second to think before I went closer to her and hugged her. She held onto me and felt my warmth.


Between a rock and a hard place.
