"What makes you wise? She asks. She's half a month my elder but I've always played half the role of big sister. I've always been more academically inclined, getting better grades in harder classes, but she would kick the ass of anyone who glanced at me wrong. Right now I know she's only tense and angry and bringing up this subject because the preacher is ranting again about the sins of gay and lesbian relationships. I wonder what would happen if we shipped him and his business suit and bible off to the bay area. His words are only a buzz to me though, because he's not the first or the last to say I'm going to hell. I go to Anime conventions, and the protesters that line the sidewalk have only been able to get one thing across to me- their God thinks its a sin to dress in costumes and have fun with people who like the same stuff as you in a safe environment.
"Tap water." I answer her, laughing. "But really, why did you ask?" I know what I want her to say, but she wont. She has a special type of girl that she likes, and I'm in a relationship with a great guy and wouldn't fit the mold she has in mind anyway. Kyle is a great guy, though, one I'm lucky I got. Lot's of my old friend who side with my ex think I'm a slut and consider Kyle my twelve-hour rebound, and I let them think that they're right. But in reality I left the old guy for Kyle cause the old guy was a dick who didn't even have the courtesy to drive three hours from his home on his four-day weekend (he only took class Tuesday and Thursday at the high-school-with-ashtrays junior college back home) to visit me once or twice. Sure, he let me call him every night, but that gets old quick, especially when he freaks out if I don't call at 9 PM on the dot.
The last straw was about half a year ago, when I went home for winter break. I was cooking for him and he was just laying on the couch, playing Pokemon and ignoring me in a way only he could. My parents weren't home and I had forgotten to turn the heater on, so the tile in the kitchen was cold. I told him things between us weren't working and he told me I wasn't trying. Three days later I was back at school and sitting on the couch next to Kyle and letting our mutual friend get us drunk one last time before classes started. We kissed the first time that night. I don't want to hurt him by turning out to be lesbian.
Kris brings be back by laying down across my lap and smiling up at me. I hadn't even known I was gone in my own little dream world, but there's a reason
