As I flip a coin in my hand, the teacher goes on about how World War 2 started and ended. The coin was about the size of a quarter. It was old and dirty with age and usage. I keep flipping it until class was over.

When class ended, one of my close friends came up to talk to me about his girl problems and how he can't get a girl to like him. I just listened and understood. I couldn't get any guys to like me.

"Hey," I told him, "I have a question."

"What is it?" He turned to me.

"Would you like to go out sometime?"

He looked at me with such disgust, "Ew, why I ever date you? You're a fucking fag," he left and we haven't talked since.

It's been a decade since that class and I was working at a workplace when my boss let me go because of my sexuality. I get my stuff and leave. While on my way home, I bumped into a gentleman.

He was about 26 with blue eyes, black hair and pierced ears. He had a black leather jacket and black pants to match. He was fit with pronounced biceps and calves. Overall, attractive

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean.... Johnny, is that you?" He asked

"Yeah, do I know you?"

"I'm Trevor from high school. We were best friends."

"I don't know a Trevor."

"Are you serious? We were friends since we were five, how do you not me?"

"I now , you were that guy who called me a fucking fag."

"I'm sorry I did that to you. It was because I was jealous. I was trying to figure out what I was and I wasn't ready for that."

"So you called me a fag and didn't talk to me for a decade? Now you want me to forgive you? Fat chance. Bye bitch," I walked away from him.

I arrived home to see my boyfriend sitting on the couch, playing Skyrim on his Xbox.

"Hey babe, I got laid off my job."

"I'm sorry, baby. I can help you find a new job if you want."

"That would be great, thank you."
