“You’re not … gay, are you?”

“Sceney’s different.”

“Not that sort of different.”

Thinking about Sarah brought reality flooding back into Alex’s head. The fight was on this weekend, the science test on Monday, and then the stupid assembly play.

“Hey, He-man,” said Alex, “imagine if we did fight in that play, in front of the whole school.”

“Yeah,” said Jimmy, “it’d be wicked.”
