"How dare you?! How dare you tell the class we're friends?!!!" She screamed at me right after landing that slap on my face. "That's because youre my friend" i managed to curl up a smile on my red face. "Shut up!! We are not friends okay!!! Now you are going to tell everyone exactly what i just said!!" "But i cant tell a lie. We are friends" It wouldn't have cost me anything to just succumb to her wishes but i didnt, all because of the crush i had for her, and that cost me a whole lot. Linda's parents were major sponsors to the school and she managed to create a scandal against me and i got expelled. I spent most of my teenage like being homeschooled and disconnected from the world. I would have loved for my new life to last forever but it all had to stop when my parents told me i would have to be re-enrolled in my former school. Apparently, facing my fears was the best option according them. A story about closeted lesbian teen like me is one that needs to be heard.
