Confession (unedited)

Liam ate the cereal Sophie made him gently and avoided looking at his friends. 

Sophie sat beside him while Harry sat across from him. They have been raising random topics, and Liam knew it was only a matter of time before they asked him the main question eating them up. 

What did they expect him to say? 

'Hey, you know I hate gays, right? But I think I like Oliver even though he has a girlfriend and even though he is so not gay'? 

He wished he could hibernate somehow. As much as he appreciated his friends for ditching school to come meet him, he wished they hadn't come and left him in his room so he could keep thinking things through. But he appreciated them a lot for coming. Not only would they lose points, but their parents may also find out. They had also taken the pain of using taxis and wearing knock-off clothes, which they were not used to.
