I had come out to my three best friends, today. I was going to tell them over lunch tomorrow, but I was already with two of them today. I was so excited to tell them that I could hardly keep it in, so I wanted to leave them hanging by saying that I had something important to tell them but they I wasn't going to say it without telling the third one with them.
Little did I expect that, as we were walking out to our next classes, we ran into the third one in the parking lot. So they told me that now that we were all together, I should tell them this big important thing.
So I laughed and said this isn't the place, and they were trying to guess what was going to happen... did I find a place to live on campus, am I transferring schools, am I going to move... nope! So they ask me, and even though I knew it was the wrong place and the wrong time (we were rushing to our next class), I was way too excited to hold it in for another day. And so I took a deep breath and I said, very simply...
"I'm gay."
In the middle of the parking lot.
There was a moment of silence and one of them couldn't believe it. Another one hugged me and the last one said she was so happy for me.
It was bad timing because we had to get to our next class, but they really want to talk about it more tomorrow.
I'm so glad I took my first step today and that my friends are so awesome. I'm in such a good mood right now.
