eveRYTHING WAS GOING FINE FOR 5 MINUTES THOMAS



"Who?"
"Oh, Jentsie Petersen. She's that new chick. Brown hair with the emerald streaks, wheres a lot of punk, loud, kinda obnoxious. She just moved here and Jefferson has already latched onto her like predator to prey. Except I think they're gonna be doing the opposite of fighting to the death if you know what I mean. He's such a moron. So many other great people to date and he chooses some idiot in lilac!"
"Y-Yeah..."
"James, you ok? You're tearing up."

I wiped my eyes and realized I was crying. I looked down as the office door opened and Thomas walked out and back to his class. Mr. Washington pulled Angelica in next and I was left alone. Why would he be with Jentsie? I'm sure he was probably just showing her around. But, they were at the cafe together. But, he kissed me. Thomas loves me! He has too right? I mean... He was kinda being a bit sexual... and maybe just wanted a good fuck out of me...

I was barely paying attention to Mr. Washington's lecturing when he brought me into his office. He almost immediately noticed and sighed, sending me back to class with a small warning. By now it was my lunch hour. But, instead, I grabbed my food and went to the art room to find Peggy. She was always so happy and easy to talk to about things like this. Understanding, sweet, kind, and a good sense of humor too. So, it was almost impossible to be sad around her. I found her in their alone and sat next to her. She was painting a rainbow or some other pretty colorful thing when I sat down. Peggy smiled and set the paintbrush down, folding her hands together, the paint staining her fingers. "Hey, James. You okay? Your eyes look a bit red."

"I gotta tell you something and I don't want you to tell anybody ok?"
"Of course."
"Well, Me and Thomas were at my house last night and we kissed. A lot. Like, deep passion filled mushy stuff."
"Tongue?"
"No. But he got to my neck a lil. I pushed him off though. I didn't wanna go any farther."
"Alright, that's pretty cool. You and Thomas always seemed to be cute together. I think you guys should totally date more."
"Yeah, but Angelica says he was hanging out with Jentsie Petersen, the new girl."

Peggy winced and looked away, drumming her fingers against the wood table, staining that as well with bright colors. James was about to say something but Peggy had started talking.

"They have been getting kinda close to each other. You haven't seen them together? He's got the same schedule as her and talk almost all the time. Well, when he isn't talking to you... He might be getting flirty... I've never noticed... "

"See, now this is why I have anxiety! I'm worrying about something that might not even be happening!"
"Oh my god anxiety is the WORST!"
"I know right!"
"But, I'm sure he's just being a nice guy and helping her around with a new school. High school is tough. They may just be friends like how we're friends."

I sighed, "True. We are super good friends and people think we're dating all the time." SHe smiled, "Exactly. So I wouldn't worry too much."

"Thanks, Peggy. I'm gonna go find Thomas, cool?"
"See you later, James!"

I walked back to the cafeteria with my food, a happy smile on my face. Thomas wouldn't cheat on me like that. We're close. Trust each other, stick together, all the time, everyday. Yup. Everything is fine excePT THAT SHE IS SITTING NEXT TO HIM AT OUR TABLE AW CRAP.

"Okay so is Alexander always talking or-"
"Well, sometimes he shuts up but that's only when John's in the room."
"Oh they are so gay for eachother."
"I don't know. You may need to clean your sunglasses."
"No, you need to take off you heteronormative blindfold."

I walked over and sat in front of Thomas. He didn't even notice I sat down. Jentsie did though. Looking at me with a happy smile and a wave. She held out her hand and introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Jentsie. You are?"

"James Madison."
"Cool, good to meet you."

OH MY GOD SHE IS SO NICE AND SO KIND AND GOD DAMMIT ANY HETEROSEXUAL WOULD FALL FOR THOSE CURVES DAMMIT. SHE WOULD PROBABLY EVEN LURE ME IN IF I WASN'T AS GAY AS ANDREW SCOTT ON A UNICORN IN FRONT OF A RAINBOW.

"Oh, James! Hey, where were you?" He asked, tilting his head. "I was hanging out with Peggy." I answered, taking a bite of my sandwich. He simply nodded and went back to talking with Jentsie. The subject roamed around school, work, coffee, getting coffee later, sounds like a date, Alexander. I sighed and tried to remember that he was my boyfriend, not hers. They've never even kissed. We have. It was passionate and beautiful and he said he loved me so ha! Take that new girl! The bell rang and we went to our classes. But, I still felt a burning sensation of jealousy in my chest. She didn't look like the type of person to steal anybody from anybody. But Thomas, at second glance, looked like the kind of guy that would cheat for a good fuck. I escaped to the bathroom and stayed in there for the rest of my 6th period, sitting in the bathroom stall all the way at the end and playing my phone.

After school, I texted Thomas. Only to find that he was busy with homework and then had dinner with his grandparents right after. Whatever homework that could possibly be, I have no idea. Because we didn't have homework in any of our classes, so it had to be something dumb for his debate class. But, it was unusual for Thomas to do his homework when he had the time. Usually he waited for it to be the morning of at 1 or 2 in the morning. I smiled, remembering how he would be texting me about math questions and things I was too tired to even understand. He was so adorable at 1 in the morning. But apparently at 1 in the afternoon he was flirting with other girls. I got up from my work desk and looked in the full length mirror on the wall.

"I'm not gonna sit here all freaking day and mope about it. It's a Friday night, I should be in a good mood." I said as I grabbed my phone and called up Peggy and Maria Reynolds. Yeah, it seems a bit hypocritical to be mad that Jefferson is hanging out with other girls and then I go ahead and call up two of the prettiest in school but it's totally absolutely different because im gay as Andrew Scott on a unicorn in front of a rainbow as I said before so he doesn't have to worry. Meanwhile, I have crippling depression and anxiety and I need ice cream.
