thy rumors

So this is the story about the friend who came out to me, and I came out to her. I'm gonna call her Emma for this story. She's a really amazing person, and I'm so glad she's my friend.


Emma and I were in drama club together, and we had to go on a weekend. I came over to her and was talking to her. Then, a girl from her class, I'm gonna call her Cassie, pulled her to a corner of the room to speak with her in private. I knew they were both relatively unfriendly with each other, so I thought it was an argument and nothing more. When Emma came back, she seemed... down.


"Did Cassie try to seduce you again?" I asked jokingly.


She forced a laugh. "Nah."


I asked what it was about but she kinda changed the subject.


Later in the day, I became a little insensitive and pushed. So she told me.


Basically, her class had a field trip the last Thursday. On the bus, she way playing truth or dare with two people. One I'll call Hannah and the other I forgot her name. Hannah was also one of Emma's sort-of-enemies, but I was friends with Hannah so I just didn't wanna get them fighting. Anyways, one thing led to another, and Emma told them she was gay. She whispered it, so no one else except them could've heard. The next day, the entire class was taking about Emma's gayness. And when Emma asked people where they heard it, they all referred back to Hannah.


After a bit of talking, and lots of support, I asked her something.


"You've talked about male crushes in the past. Have you gotten past those crushes and realized that you're into females, or are you bisexual?" I asked.


"Bisexual." She replied after a couple seconds of thought.


I told her that, as to not confuse more people, she should probably say that from the start next time. I also told her I was bi.


"Do you have any female crushes?" I asked.


"Yeah." She replied.


"Who?" I asked.


"Lisa"


(Lisa was also one of our friends, and I REALLY shipped them. I even made an animatic for Emma's birthday featuring their ship.)


Later that day, Hannah, Cassie, and another girl came up to us. They referred to it as "the incident" because they didn't know I knew.


"I swear, I didn't tell anyone." Hannah said.


"Is it possible someone heard you guys on the bus?" I asked.


"She knows?" Hannah asked.


"Yes." Emma and I replied at the same time.


"Why?" Hannah asked.


"I serve as her part-time therapist." I said. Emma smiled and punched me.


"And her punching bag." I added.


"Can you be my punching bag?" Cassie asked.


"No." I replied jokingly.


And as far as I know they're still dating and happy AF.


So that's a bi story. Have a great (and possibly bisexual) day!
