ðððAn hour laterððð

Kyle still wasn't here I was starting to worry. I decided I better leave. I can't believe I got stood up. I headed for the door only to run into someone.
"Oh hi there."
"Hi." I wanted to get back and not talk to this guy.
"I'm Caesar."
"Yeah, yeah get out of my way."
"What's your name?" What's up with this fruit loop why won't he leave me be. I wanna get home.
"My name is Lance now will you leave me alone?"
"Come here often?"
"No, I just got stood up by my boyfriend, so I'm never coming here again."
"Stood up huh? He doesn't sound like a really good boyfriend. Why don't you come back to Caesar's and he can make it all better." This guy was pure cheese. Kyle is the best boyfriend. Maybe. I had to get out of here.
"If you'll please excuse me."
"By all means." I left and decided to walk back. When I returned I went into Zoë's room. Her and Justin were watching tv in their pajamas.
"Zoë I need to talk to you." We both looked at Justin.
"Oh you want me to leave?"
"Yes please." I said as he got up and left the room. I closed the door behind him. "I got stood up." She walked over to me.
"Oh, I'm sorry sweetie."
"I don't understand, why would he do this to me?" I was near tears.
"Maybe he forgot." We sat down on the couch.
"He couldn't forget, I don't think. He forgot that's it. I'm gonna call him."
"You can't do that."
"Why?"
"Cause he's probably in bed."
"You're right I won't call him." I'm gonna call him.
"Good you need to get some sleep. You've had a rough night."
"OK, I'll go to bed." I had no intention of going to bed until after I called him.
"Good night."
"Good night." I left and returned to my room. I took the phone and dialed Kyle's number.
"Hello." He answered after three rings.
"Kyle where were you?"
"Where was I?"
"We had plans tonight I waited an hour."
"Oh well see I ran into Zoë and Justin and they said you weren't gay anymore and Justin said you had a girlfriend, Mallory."
"Mallory?"
"She didn't deny it."
"She didn't?"
"No, I didn't want ruin things with you two."
"Oh, well I'll have to talk to her."
"OK, I hope everything works out with you two."
"I'm sure it will, with you too."
"Bye."
"Bye." I hung up the phone and went into Mallory and JC's room. "Hey Mal. Can I talk to you?" I interrupted her and JC from their love fest.
"Um sure." She got up and walked over to me. I pulled her into the hall. "What?"
"I heard a funny thing today, you're my girlfriend now?"
"Oh right. See that gay guy who likes, what was his name?"
"Kyle."
"Right, he came down here and Zoë and Justin didn't want him to think you were gay so they said you had a girlfriend so he wouldn't want you."
"Justin said that?"
"Yeah." Kyle said something about Justin but it didn't register at first. "Anyway I was there so I played along."
"Oh my gosh." It finally clicked. I ran back into their room. "You know." I pointed to Justin. I had nothing else really to say.
"Know what?" He played stupid.
"Don't play stupid, you know, and you told him." I accused her.
"I did not, he found out all on his own."
"We are talking about you being gay right?"
"Yes. How could he find out on his own?"
"Funny story really. I was in the closet and I heard you guys talking about it."
"You were eavesdropping?"
"Not on purpose."
"Well it doesn't matter anyway, you're just gonna tell everyone."
"I will not."
"What's the deal with you guys saying I was going out with Mallory?"
"You called Kyle."
"Yeah I called Kyle, cause he stood me up and I wanted to know why."
"We thought it was for the best."
"For the best? To tell my boyfriend I cheated on him. With a girl?"
"That's was all Justin's idea."
"I thought we needed juice."
"Shut up!" I couldn't listen arguing anymore.
"I hope you're happy. I'll never find anyone like him again." I left I had to have the final word.
"Look what you did."
"Me? You're the one who wanted to turn him ungay."
"You didn't want him gay either."
"Now I feel bad, we ruined his relationship with Kyle."
"He'll learn to love again, hopefully this time it'll be of the female variety."
"Justin, you're awful."
"I'm just saying."
"Well shutup."
"I'm only trying to help."
"You're not, so butt out. I better go talk to him." She got up and left.
"She hurt my feelings." Justin said once she was out of the room.

ðððððð

I was lying on my bed crying about Kyle when a knock came on my door. I wiped my tears and sat up.
"Come in." I yelled. Zoë walked in. "I don't wanna talk to you." It was true I didn't.
"I wanna talk to you."
"Then I don't wanna listen."
"Can't I just explain myself?"
"No." I was being stubborn.
"Quit being stubborn. How many times do I have to apologize to you?"
"About as many times as you mess up. Which is a lot."
"Yes, you're right it is. I'm sorry about Kyle."
"Not good enough."
"I'm really sorry?"
"Are you really sorry or are you sorry you got caught?"
"I'm sorry for everything. Is that good apology?"
"It's not good if you have to ask. Why waste your time apologizing I'm not going to forgive you? You ruined my life."
"Hey, you came to me. I didn't go looking for you so you could confide in me."
"I trusted you."
"I didn't tell anybody. Justin found out and asked me about it in very tricky way."
"How did he trick you?"
"He got rid of all the excuses I could have used. He cornered me, I had no where to go."
"You could have said we were in a play."
"I tried, but he got to it before me. He comes in and asks me 'are you and Lance in a play?' at the time I had no clue what he was talking about."
"I don't care, I hate you." I did hate her. "Not only cause you told Justin, but also you ruined the one chance I had to find happiness without JC." I left then came back. "Why am I leaving this is my room? You get out!" She promptly walked out of the room.

ðððððð

"You know the plan?"
"Justin, I don't think it's going to work if he knows the plan."
"Zo, why are you so difficult? Just cause he knows what we're doing doesn't mean we have to stop doing it. Anyway I talked all the others to going with us so it's not obvious we're turning him straight. Then you..."
"I know, I know. To paraphrase you seduce him with my girlish habits."
"Very good. Now, what are you wearing?"
"Huh?"
"I know you can do better than that."
"Justin I'm not giving away the farm."
"Fine, but how do you expect to get some tonight from him?"
"I don't. I think this is all stupid."
"You wanted to do it."
"It loses a point when he knows we're doing it!"
"I don't know if I could work with you anymore." She rolled her eyes.
"Let's just go." She grabbed his hand and pulled him out the door.

I was sitting at a table waiting for this night to end. I didn't want to be here I was too depressed. I couldn't even dance with any guys. I saw Mallory out of the corner of my eye with JC hanging on her. She looked totally pissed off. I was taking a drink of my Fresca when I saw someone I wish I hadn't.
"Lance? I knew it was you. You remember me don't you?"
"How could I forget? Caesar so great to see you."
"Do you mind if I sit down?" Before I could get my answer in he was already next to me. "It's so funny running into you at a straight club."
"Yes well..."
"Did you get dumped by your boyfriend?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry." He looked truley sad I don't know if it was just a ploy to get me, but for once I think I was actually drawn to this homosexual crabcake.
"I'll be OK."
"Are you sure? You look a little upset." He took my hand.
"That's not the only thing I'm upset about."
"Do you want to tell me?" He had a hint of sincerity in his tone.
"No you don't want to hear about it."
"Yes I do, I care."
"No, I can't relive all the trauma that I went through last night."
"If you don't want to talk about it we don't have to talk about." This guy almost got me near tears. Caesar ain't so bad.
"Thank you." I looked down at ours hands. I totally forgot we were joined together by our hands if anyone saw us... I noticed how he was looking at me. As if planned we both leaned in together before I knew it I was totally enthralled by my first guy to guy lip lock. To be honest it was invigorating. It seemed to never end. The thought never crossed my mind that someone could be watching, little did I know, someone was.
