Lovestruck [girlxgirl] - Chapter 11

Chapter 11:

            I didn’t think after I came out as bisexual I would have a better, happier life. But for some reason, I did. Maybe it was because I wasn’t pressured into keeping this façade of being the rough, bad, popular girl of the school. Now I could focus on living my life in peace and with the most amazing girl of my life.

            It’s safe to say that the confirmation about me coming out of the closet spread very fast; almost like wildfire or even faster. Pretty soon, I had lost probably most of my followers and a majority of the school came to hate me. Even Ms. Erida who now gave me death glares everytime I past her in the hallways. Elena and I became the most infamous couple in the whole school! The looks that I get could probably send some other girls into huge fits of anger or depression but nothing mattered to me. Who cares if I lost my followers? Now I don’t get hounded anymore for directions.

            But while I lost one group, I gained another. That ‘another’ was none other than the LGBT family in Astarte High. And when I mean family, I meant like a HUGE group of people. Like honestly, I didn’t think there were so many people who were part of the ‘family’, well technically it’s also my family now. Some of the people even surprised me. I recognized some jocks from the football team, the cute looking girls from Asia. I never knew so many people were LGBT. But Elena had said they were all there, just lurking in the shadows trying to live each day in secrecy. It seemed like such a sad way to live.

            Well not anymore.

            Elena had introduced me to a handful of her friends who were, without a doubt, gay. She even introduced me to the girl she had been talking to and I had to struggle to not give her the beating of the lifetime when I shook her hand. Regardless though, most of them looked at me with these beaming eyes of pride. Their words of gratitude expressed how influential I was in their coming out just a few days after my big announcement. They said I was a role model. Nothing, I mean, nothing could compare to that feeling they gave me.

            Well, I mean of course, Elena could match those feelings easily. Heck, she could overpass those boosts of confidence with just the look in her eyes. They held the same amount of love and emotion that I gave back to her. Ever since I had come out and asked her to be my girlfriend, life sure had gotten better. I went to classes, my grades were nothing short of amazing and I haven’t had issues with my anger since that day I saw her flirting with someone else. And that was two months ago!

            In short, I don’t think my life has ever been better.

            So I guess that brings me to the present: the middle of April. School is almost ending and that also means Elena and the rest of my friends will be going home. Whereas I, well, I’m not really excited to go home. I’m not even sure my parents want me to come back home. They’d probably make me stay here at school if Astarte didn’t close down during the summer. Maybe I could go back to California with Elena. I’ll have to ask about it later.

            “Hi guys!” Elena practically skips over to where we were eating lunch, happy smile lighting up her face.

            Greetings were passed around the rather large group as Elena sat down next to two of her close friends, away from me. I raised my eyebrow at her who didn’t notice as she immersed herself in deep conversation. I cleared my throat and she still didn’t answer. Around me, everybody started to chuckle evilly as they continued to stare at my failed attempt to subtlety grab Elena’s attention.

            “Girl,” the guy, Spencer, next to me nudged me. “Chillax,” I forced back an amused laugh as his tone reminded me of Brittney. The only difference between the two was that Spencer was much more flamboyant and optimistic. He was a great guy; it surprised me that he didn’t have a boyfriend. If he swung towards my way, and I was single, I would have been all over him. He’s just…cute.
