“Uh”  I pretended to think.  “YUCK!”  I stated.  Spencer laughed and actually looked relieved.  

“Why not?”  He asked.  This was so weird.  I always viewed Klutz as a friend.  Friends are not supposed to be attractive in that way!  You know I just realized I still never told anyone I like girls.  The only one that knows is Aunty Lisa.  Thats so weird its like my belated coming out.

I didn’t think twice about it.  So I just came out and said it straight, loud, and proud.  “I’m gay.”

“Cool!”  Glen exclaimed in the regular guy fashion.  I never understood mens obsession with lesbians.  Even a slightly curious girl can cause a guys hormones to fly.  

I rolled my eyes as things slowly started to return to normal.  Then I glanced over at Spencer.  She had been quiet so far and I didn’t notice her reaction yet.  

The blonde sat on floor of to the side with her gaze focused on her hands.  She wouldn’t look me in the eyes and I was suddenly really worried.  What if Spencer wasn’t ok with homosexuality.  What if she hates me now.  I can’t handle that.

What if I just ruined our friendship?

Before I had a chance to ask.  Uncle Arthur burst into the room.

“Ashley that was your mothers lawyer.  Were meeting him tomorrow.”  

Oh God!

Ok.

…

I don’t know what to think.  I’m thoughtless.  

It doesn’t bother me or anything but… its odd.  I don’t think I ever met a gay person before.  When your mother is rather against homosexuals you don’t associate with to many.  And I can’t think of any kids in my school or around town like that. 

It doesn’t bother me.  I’m not as closed minded about those things like my mom.  I’m just shocked.  And a little confused, I guess.  Ashley’s, my best friend.  I know we haven’t seen each other in a long time and I realized that we had new things in our lives that we had yet to figure about each other.  I just never thought sexuality would be one of them.
