• As I walked down the hard concrete stairs of Silverado Middle School I saw people whispering and pointing directly at me. I was wearing my Silverado shirt with my Army sweater over it. My hair was tied back and I was wearing pants and DC shoes.

    I smiled as I greeted my best friend Hadyn."Sup man." I greeted. He was staring off in to space and replied with a simple hey. When I asked him what was wrong he just said,"A rumor." "About what." I asked suddenly jittery."About you liking Katrina." I had a really bad feeling that was what he was going to say. My face went pale and I could of swore I lost feeling in my legs.

    "Is it true?" he asked with his blue eyes soaked in fear and curiosity."No!" I accidently yelled. Suddenly Kourtney came up."It was Danielle, im sorry, I tried to stop her but she was quicker than I was.""Its all right." I replied. "Wow Elizabeth." I heard a cold, harsh, and annoying voice behind me. "Danielle."I muttered through gritted teeth. "So yeah you sent that e mail and screwed up my social life, thanks a lot." I said bringing some sarcasim in to the situation.

    "Look can you leave?" I asked. "Why, I thought you enjoyed the company of women over men." She sneered. I was about to beat the living hell out of her at that point. Then Kourtney slipped her hand on to mine and it calmed me. "Leave." I warned. "Why?" Danielle taunted. I leaned in and said,"Cuz if you dont I will beat your a** so hard..." I didnt need to finish, she was already running.

    "What did you tell her." Kourtney demanded. "The old beat your a** trick." I said with a smile watching Danielle run like hell. I turned around just in time to see Katrina bump into me. "Hey Katrina." I said happy to see her wonderful face. She just looked at me with a terror filled face. Then she fled the scence faster than I could ask her whats wrong.

    The day seemed to drag on and on, the taunting, pointing, whispering just got worse. Still I didnt tell my parents, a good thing to do to. They would of just called the school and ask me if I were really gay. I am self suffienct and delt with my problems, of course I was keeping a huge secret that could change my life as I knew it.
