It all started one school afternoon in 4th period. 4th period class was my PE class. I’ve had this crush on this boy. He was diffrent from the other boys. He wasn’t just diffrent because of his unique physique. He was unique because he was much more mature than the other middle school boys I’ve met. I knew I’d regret it if I don’t say it now. So, I skitter up to him anxiously. I tell him how I have feelings for him. Feelings more than friends for him. But, he responds by saying that he was gay. That took a lot to digest. Of course I was a little disappointed I couldn’t get the lover I wanted. But, it’s not like I can change his feelings. His feelings are as valid as mine. **I can’t force change in another! They are who they are!**
