It started With A Phone Call

Chapter Twenty-Seven

"You know very well that I have no feelings for you. This was all physical. If it were based on your personality then I would have never spoken to you. You're so freaking annoying, and frankly, you suck in bed," He said and walked away from her. Brittany slammed her locker shut and stomped her feet on the ground. I've decided against feeling bad for her. She brings everything upon herself.

"Stop looking at me!" she screamed before she locked eyes with me. I didn't even realize that Garrett, Ave, and I were staring. "You guys are looking at me like I'm a freak, but I bet none of you know that your favourite quarterback is a bigger freak!" She screamed. This got people's attention. I looked up at Garrett, confused of what she was talking about. He sent me a small smile before speaking up.

"It would be pretty low to tell everyone something that doesn't affect them." Brittany laughed sarcastically and crossed her arms. "Of course it affects them! It ruins the football team!" I could tell that this got Garrett really angry. "Me being gay does not affect my abilities to be a good football player. No one but you even knew until now," he announced. A few people looked shocked and a few girls looked like they lost hope, but no one looked disgusted.

"Don't lie everyone. I know most of you are thinking what I am. You're all disgusted and angry at this," she said. When people started to give her hard looks she realized that they were, in fact, not thinking like her. "That's it. I'm done with this crap!" She screamed before running out into the parking lot. I couldn't help but laugh a bit at how her plan backfired. People in the hallway had quieted down. Many looked pissed off at what Brittany had done and many looked worried. Most of the younger grades had made their way towards the classes that they had, but the seniors stayed.

"Are you ok Garrett?" I asked. He sent me an iffy smile. "I don't know. It feels great that I let it out, but I'm still scared of what my team and coach are going to think of me. I have to tell my parents too," he said. Ave and I gave him a huge hug and told him that we would be there for him no matter what. "Are you girls mad at me for not telling you?" he asked us in a worried way. "Of course not! We didn't even notice," Ave said for the both of us. "Oh thank God. I was so worried. I should probably go talk to the guys now," he said. I smiled at him and nodded before giving him another hug. "Good luck! They're still going to love you!" I said before he went off towards his teammates.

The final exams seemed much easier than the midterms. I'm not sure if it was just me studying like crazy or if they were actually easier, but I am sure that I passed all of them. "We're finally done!" Ave screamed as soon as the bell rang. We started dancing around each other like lunatics before we spotted Garrett and some other guy that I haven't seen before walking towards us from his car. "How was the Chemistry exam?" he asked us. We both answered him that it went well. "So who's this?" Ave asked him while wiggling her eyebrows. "This is my boyfriend, Brody. These are my friends Sky and Avery," he introduced us.

"So you're the secret boyfriend that he's been talking about for months," I said, laughing a bit. "That would be me," Brody said with a bright smile." I could definitely tell that Brody was a tiny bit flamboyant, but you wouldn't be able to tell unless you already knew he was gay. Garrett, on the other hand, was extremely manly. "The team is going to be so excited to meet you, Brody. We need to all hang out soon so don't forget to get our numbers from Garrett!" I said before we headed off towards the car.

Since it was only one o'clock Ave and I decided to watch a movie. The entire ride home consisted of Avery complaining about how famous singers make it into Hollywood so easily. "What are we going to do tomorrow?" Ave asked me when we arrived at our apartment. "I don't know. We don't have to rehearse for graduation so I guess we can invite Evie over," I suggested. Ave immediately agreed to the idea and ran to call her. After we made sure that Evie had no plans for tomorrow we ate dinner and decided to relax for a bit.
