Benjamin Hills is the only openly gay kid in his school. He's a nerd and only has 1 friend. He's bullied by the whole football team. One day he's paired up with the star quarterback, Parker Johnson, in a ELA project at school. Parker, is a closeted...
"I didn't lie about her personality or how I feel about her" I say.
"I guess that's true" he sighs.
"So we're good?"
"Yeah, of course" he says. We sit down and order our drinks.
"I think she wants to kill me" Carson whispers to me from across the table.
"She doesn't want to kill you" I reassure him.
"Are you sure about that? She's giving me a death glare"
"Soph, do you want to hurt him in any way?" I ask her.
"Yes" she says not removing her glare.
"Why?" he asks.
"You do know Ben is my best friend, right? He's like my brother"
"Oh yeah...sorry about that"
"No, you're not"
"Sophia" I say.
"It's fine. Parker" he says.
"Why do you do it?" she asks.
"Um it's fun I guess"
"It's fun?"
"Yeah"
"Well you listen here you little faggot. Shut your fucking mouth because no one wants to hear the shit that comes out of it. If you ever try to talk to me again I'll bash your brains in. Got it?"
"Shit, Soph. Chill" I say. Carson is just staring at her.
"Yeah. You're right Carson. It's fun. Was that fun for you?" she asks.
"Damn your girl is a savage" Carson laughs and high fives me.
"Right" I laugh. Sophia does not look happy.
"So...how did you two get together?" Karlee asks.
"We ran into each other at a cafe and just got talking. How about you two?" Sophia asks.
"My sister introduced us"
"Oh cool"
"I love your dress by the way"
"Thanks. Yours is absolutely gorgeous" Sophia says. Karlee is wearing a short, sparkly, red dress.

We finish our food and talk for about another hour until we have to leave. Sophia and Karlee got along really well. It was kinda strange. They made plans to hang out next week.
