Okay so this is going to sound awfully weird but for a couple months I’ve been…. sort of having feelings for someone from high school but it’s a girl and I’m a girl myself. She (let’s call her Carmen) is going to be a senior in high school and so will I. I’m repeating senior year (don’t ask why). I was supposed to graduate this year. Anyways Carmen is one of the most amazing, sweet, most thoughtful people you will ever meet. Also she is funny, competitive at times (in a good sporting kind of way) and she takes no crap from anyone. She isn’t nice but she is kind and loving. Anyways the thing is I’m not a lesbian and I don’t know if Carmen is or not and I will not ask because it’s rude, degrading and none of my business. I like men. I told my friends and asked if I should take a risk of telling Carmen how I feel and ask her out. My best friends (let’s call them Skylar and Maria) thought I was crazy and don’t even risk it. Maria said, “Girl who are you trying to kid? You’re not even a lesbian! You can’t even flirt to save your life girl. Besides Carmen doesn’t seem to like you that way and you’re straight so don’t pretend you’re a lesbian because you’re putting yourself at risk.”
I told them I like her but then Skylar said, “Are you SURE you actually like her because you’re going to risk it and plus things with Carmen and you would never working out. You’re going to get hurt. Plus you may end up hurting her. Don’t risk your friendship.”
I just looked at them with shock and hope they would support me.
They both told me I’m not a lesbian and if I don’t wanna see the truth they don’t know what else to tell me. What I do with the Carmen situation. I’m not in love with her, I just have a little crush on her. I’ve had a little crush on a guy once and it went away.
