Evers
"A date? You're asking me on a date?" Evers and I stand in front of his locker as I put my foot in my mouth
"Yes" I smile trying to not freak out
"Jonah, you came out yesterday, is this because I'm the only gay person you know?" "No, I-"
"Come on dude practice is starting LET'S GO!" I'm yanked away by my teammate.
What the hell was I thinking?! I knew I shouldn't have asked Evers out, but I figured I could add rejection to the top of my screwing shit up list since that's all I've been capable of lately.
I came out yesterday and being a textbook definition of a jock I didn't actually think it all through, not that I care what anyone thinks I just wish my friends were more supportive "You alright man?" Dj taps my shoulder as I tie my shoes
"I just did the stupidest thing" I grab my helmet "What's up?"
"I asked Evers on a date"
"The gay kid?" He laughs "Why are you laughing?"
