Prom From Hell - Part 1

I was nervous as I sat in front of my parents and uttered "I'm gay." The look on their faces was enough, so I politely got up, went up stairs, packed all my clothes, grabbed my backpack and walked back down stairs. I was just at the door when mom stepped in front of me and said "No, your not leaving until graduation." and then she hugs my neck. My dad then says "All we want is for you to be happy, that's all." I then ask "So you okay with me being gay?"

They look at me with knowing eyes and say "Yeah." in unison. Before I go any father I should talk about me. My name is Aidan Julian Massett, I'm gay as you may have guessed, but I'm also the quarterback for my high school football team, so I'm somewhat popular, I'm 18, 6'2, 195 Lbs and with strawberry blonde hairy, to all the girls I was a Greek god, but they were all about to be disgusted with me, but I didn't care and I was smart, it was surprising how I excelled not only on the football tam, but also with my studies. I left my suitcase and walked out to drive to school and waiting for me was someone I wasn't expecting my best friend, Gina Moore or as I called her Bucky and her nickname came when we were in preschool together and she had buck teeth I laughed and said 'Bucky' and the name stuck.

"Oh, My, God you told them. You so fucking did. How did they take it?" I looked at her and said "They handled it pretty well, now comes the school." "How do you plan to pull that off?" she asked. "Well, my Bucky this morning we all meet in the gym for the announcement of the Prom King and Prom Queen ballots, so we all say a few choice words." I say. "No way, you are so not going through with this plan, I know you to well, you will chicken out at the last minute." She said so sure of herself. And in the past I would chicken out, but today

I look at her and say "Yeah, totally not me, but I'm still going to do it." We just end our conversation as I pull into the school parking lot and as we head to the gym of Star Crest High School I'm met by my fellow team mate's who don't look at me weird, but they soon will. As we take our seats Principal Pinkard walks up the stage and says "Good morning students and teachers, as we all know today we announce the Prom King and Prom Queen nominates, when your name is called say a few words to your fellow students and take your mark on stage. So ladies first, Katherine Grant, next we have Heather Spivey, Next Fiona Westerly and finally Oh this is a first Angelina Moore.

As I heard Gina's name called I was rooting louder than the other's. No the gentleman first Daniel Vance, next Eric Trent, next Mark Hostelry and finally Asoan Massut..." A long pause, but I was sure after what seemed like ages he went me. "Ahh, Ok Aidan Massett." as I made my way to the podium I cleared my throat and stepped in front of the microphone and said "Hi you all know me, which is why you put my name on the ballot, but the truth is you all don't know me, not at all, so that being said I'm gay."

I walk to my place and their's no cheering, well I saw that coming, but still it hurt... OH MY GOD! Did I just do that, did I really just fucking do that I then glance at Gina who was in more shock than me and the school day isn't over, but my high school reputation was. Holy shit was I not ready for what was about to happen...
