lunch bell rings, and Caleb bolts from his seat. Once in
the hall, he pulls his cell phone from his pocket and rereads
the text message from his dad.
Man, I’m in so much shit.
He
speeds his steps to his locker and prays Nico is there waiting
for him. He rounds the corner and searches through the
bustling, milling students. Nico isn’t there.
Crap
. He needs to
find him, and quick. He jogs to his locker, spins the
combination lock, and curses under his breath when it won’t
open. He stresses and has to do it three times before he gets
the damn locker open.
Be easy, Caleb. It isn’t the end of the
world
. Who is he kidding?
This is a freakin’ disaster

The students who pass give him looks. By now, they
know.
Shit, where in hell is Nico?
“Hey,” Liam says casually as he finds Caleb at his
locker.
Caleb returns a soft “Hey.”
“What’s going on, man?” he whispers.
Caleb doesn’t know what to say as he slams the locker
door and turns to him. “What’d you hear?”
“They’re saying you kissed Nico.”
Caleb meets Liam’s questioning gaze. Short of Nico,
Liam is his BFF. There’s no sense in lying to him. Thanks to
Mr. Higgins, the word is already out. He nods once.
“Yeah? It’s true? You’re gay?”
