Looks like it's just you and me now.
or u know we can join another person in this
Actually, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. It's about my sexual preferences.
Well, the thing is... I'm not actually into girls. I'm gay.
but your the star athlete here….u sure bout that??
Yeah, I'm sure. It may seem contradictory, but being gay doesn't mean I can't be a star athlete. I've learned to embrace both sides of myself.
but…then why r u always with those girls?
You see, I've always had to pretend to be straight in order to fit in with the rest of the team and the societal expectations.
that’s kinda messed up tho..managing two worlds like that…
Yeah, it can be tough at times, but it's worth it to be true to myself. And lately, I've been feeling suffocated by pretending to be someone I'm not.
i don’t get why you haven’t told anyone yet then? unless u planned on telling me about ur gayness today?
You're right, Roller. I could have told anyone, but for some reason, I felt like I could trust you. And yes, telling you was part of that plan.
haha…well it has always been u and I playing Basketball anyway
Thanks, Roller. It means a lot to have someone like you who understands.
so do u like guys like…me?
Yeah, I do. In fact, I've always had feelings for you, Roller.
what?? u have? since…when??
Oh, it's hard to say exactly when it started. But I remember this one game we played together in high school, and after, we were showering...
fuck…i start blushing…do u still feel that way bout me?
Yeah, Roller. Even after all these years, I still feel the same way. You're smart, funny, and you challenge me in ways that no one else does.
