Tales of a Gay Teenager
Chapter 19: "Prodigal Daughter"
My mother and Gabriel were still asleep. Anna and Cassie were having breakfast, Kevin was already gone. This was unlike him, I got a bit worried.
I went to my room and changed to my uniform and joined Anna and Cassie for breakfast.
Me: Mornings
Cas: Where were you last night?
Me: Me? I was here, all night long
Cas: Mhh lies, I don't believe you. If it were not for me who lied and said you were having emotional stress, Diana would've killed you by now
Me: [Laughing] Iam still telling you, I was here all night. By the way, Kevin left early today
Cas: Well he's been pretty off lately, he is not the usual Kevin.
Me: I noticed that too, I wonder what's wrong with him
Cas: It wouldn't hurt to ask
Me: Who? Me? Ask Kevin?, The thing is..Me and Kevin have been on a rough patch, I dont think he'll wanna talk to me
Cas: Don't worry, I'll try and talk to him
Me: [kissing her on the cheek] thanks
Anna: I wanna a kiss too
Me: Aww, you sweet little thing[kissing her on the cheek]
Me and Cassie went to school. When we got there, everyone was surrounding this one spot:
Me: Hey Jordan, what's going on here?
Jordan: It's another nerd thing
Cas: Who do you think will win this year?
Sarah: It's obviously Teressa, she has always won ever since 8th Grade.
Me: Wow, who could've known
Jordan: No one stands a chance against her, she might look like a dumb girl but she's pretty smart
Me: What if I enter?
Cas: Are you serious?
Me: Yeah, I want to enter. Maybe something good will come out of it
Teressa interrupted..
Teressa: Urgh honey, the only good thing that will come is me, the goddess who always wins
Me: You won't always be number one..Teressa
Teressa: You want to challenge me?
Me: [giggling] it's on
[We shook hands]
I saw Kevin walking down the hallway with headphones on, I excused myself from the crown and ran to him.
Me: Kevin!
Me: Kevin!
Kevin: What?!
Me: Kevin, I need to talk to you
...Continuation...
Me: I need to talk to you
Kevin: *sigh* What is it now Sam?
Me: You missed out on a huge night
Kevin: Yeah, so?
Me: It was a suprise date night, planned by me..for us
Kevin: Us?
Me: [with teary eyes] yes..us, me and you Kevin
Kevin: Sam...there's no us anymore
Me: What do you mean?
Kevin: It's not the same anymore Sam
Me: please Kevin, what do you mean[crying]
I pulled him to an empty classroom and closed the door.
Me: Iam sorry for everything
Kevin: Sam, you don't understand. You're the first..boy I have ever fallen in love with
Kevin: But I realised that...everyone I have met in my life are the same, the same people who break hearts, the same people who dissapoint.
Me: Kevin, please [holding his hand] I regret my past mistakes, it's done. I have realised that, it's hard to let you go..I can't Kevin. My life is so messed up right now, I don't even know myself anymore.
Kevin:[raising his voice]Do I know myself? Huh? Do I know myself?
Kevin: Sam, Iam lost..
Me: Then let me help you
[He leaned forward and we kissed for a moment, until he went away]
Me: Kevin?
He closed the door behind him. I sat ontop of the desk, I started crying. A few minutes later, I dozed off. Someone shook me gently on my shoulder, I woke up. It was Sarah:
Sarah: Hey Sam, wake up. Another class is coming in
Me: [sleepy] oh hey
I yawned and got up. I went to my next class and continued with school as usual.
It was home time. When I got home, I just dropped my bag on the floor and tossed myself on the bed. I decided to take a walk to clear my head off. I came back just in time for dinner. A girl who was familiar looked behind me, it was Keisha
Keisha: Sam!
Me: Hey sis [we hugged]
Me: I missed you, where have you been? We've been worried sick about you?
My mother and Gabriel came downstairs..
Diana: Keisha?
Keisha: Mom?
They hugged each other tightly
Diana: Where were you?
Keisha: Mom I can explain, from now on I stay with...
