Hi, I’m Micah. That’s pronounced like Mike-uh, in case you were wondering. I’m a junior in high school. I work at a video game store. I’m not really all that exciting, just your average teenage girl, minus the obsession with fashion, makeup, boys, and drama. Oh yeah, I’m a lesbian. Not that you’d know that if I hadn’t just told you, though. I’m not quite as obvious as most. I just figured I might as well get it out there, you know, since I’m usually not allowed to even talk about it. But who are you going to tell?
I’m supposed to hide it. People can’t know, because then if people knew that I was a lesbian they’d suspect that my best friend and I were together…Which we are, even though we’re not supposed to be. See, she’s the one who’s in the closet. She’s too popular. People would talk bad about her. She’d lose her status of being “Queen Bitch of the school.” To be completely honest, I’m perfectly fine with my sexuality. Hell, I’d be “out and proud” if it weren’t for her. But I can’t be out of the closet, because of how it’d affect her. People would know. I don’t want her to get hurt. She’s not ready to be out yet. It’s not like she asked me to hide my sexuality, though. I just figured I should, because it’d be best for us. Less drama. But boy was I wrong.
It’s tearing my life apart. See, when you can’t be honest about who you really are, it kind of fucks you up…Especially when it’s something as big as sexuality. I don’t like having to hide our relationship, but she thinks we need to, and I love her too much to do anything about it. We’ve been together for two years now- off and on a lot, but for two years all the same. She says just until we're out of school, then we can do whatever.
I have patience like you’ll never know.
