*This part cover art is the omnisexual flag for those that don't know. Enjoy!*
How was dance practice?" "Good actually" "That's good to know. Nervous for the upcoming show?" I chuckle. "Of course I am who isn't nervous about performing in front of the whole school?" "Just asking." I chuckle again. "What'd you laughing at?!" "Nothing" "Sure nothing" "Can you believe this is the last week of school?" "Yeah I can't believe it. Is it me or the last few weeks have been rather..eventful?" "Yeah you're right. Where now friends with Mason and William which is pretty shocking, Charlie hangs out with us sometimes. He even brings Maverick. Don't you think there's something going on between them?" "You know I don't do gossip, Abi." "Right.. I can't believe it! Olivia's friend's with Camilla it seems like, We've already talked to Kilan It's crazy! At this point the whole school could be friends with us. I don't think people had been liking that trough." "Let them do their thing. We are aloud to be friends with who we want. It's just a mere coincidence that the school's basketball captain is potentially Charlie's boyfriend-" "See you do suspect something! You said-" "Enough. As I was saying, just a coincidence that Mason's dating William and they are both somewhat popular." "Hm yeah but maybe-" "Let's talk about something else yeah?" "Ok.." We're currently in Abi's house. Not at all surprising as our parents know each other since we were kids. Yeah basically I'm like a son to the Lambert family. They're nice, I like how they inspire peace in this house. There's also Abi's older brother that she never talks about but he's there sometimes, Lucas. I came straight to Abi's house after dance practice for the upcoming show of the school. It's crazy to know this is in fact the last few days of school, like she says. We have a few exams here and there but that's about it, we're not seniors so..it doesn't matter as much. I think we'll eat diner soon. Abi looks around my room. I swear she always does that even if she knows my whole room by heart. She's cute when she does that..wait cute? Ugh I'm not catching feelings for my best friend am I? I can't be doing this..she's my childhood best friend and she's..demisexual..she'll never see me that way. Ugh why am I catching feelings for Abi while I could like anybody, I don't know who but still..I don't want to catch feelings for her.. My duty is to be her best friend not that.. Ugh why do I have a preference for woman still? Wait,wait I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Ben Richmond otherwise knows as the dancer. Yep it might sound strange coming for a guy but I'm omnisexual. Ahaha yeah I am..I've only come to terms to that recently. I thought I was pansexual for a long time. I think I knew I was at least pan at 13? I don't know, I knew I could like boys, as I had a crush on a guy in summer camp, I knew I still liked girls because I had a few crushes here and there on girls, most notably when I was in summer camp. At that time I didn't really know a whole lot about other genders than men and woman. Sure me and Abi learned some things here and there but that's it. I knew trans existed that was it. I think I had a problem when in summer camp. I only went there a month and I had the time to start crushing on at least 10 people without acting upon my feelings. It was in the beginning of 8th grade that I realized that I basically liked anyone. I think she was trans? Yeah her, so yeah I've caught feelings quite quickly. So I figured I was pansexual. Before dating Sarah, I've only kissed one time and it was with a girl. Not surprising at all. I don't why but at the beginning of the year I started liking Sarah. As usual I waited till my feelings disappeared and not act upon them. I don't know why but they only grew stronger. Worst case she approached me when I had to perform on a play with William. She's William's sister. So I already knew her from before but only from the sidelines. She was really funny when I first met her. Yeah even now I can say I like how she makes me laugh. We started getting along from there. I noticed that sometimes she would do flirting here and there or tried being touchy but I didn't think much of it. She only made me feel all nervous. I don't how that was possible but I truly did like her. It was the first I really loved someone. Then one day she confessed she liked me. I was so happy and nervous that day. I acted all shy when she told me that. I somehow managed to tell her I liked her too. We then started dating, not surprising. We dated a good old 4 months. We stared dating in November. I liked being in a relationship, I was so happy. Our dates where fun, she liked teasing me all the time. It was weird as I was used to be the one to do the teasing. Well not her but..that's a fact. She always managed to know what I wanted, it's crazy how she always knew. She was mostly seductive on days. Even if she was kind of hot..we didn't do it ok?! Yeah I'm still virgin! Now I don't why I'm embracing that. During the last weeks I started to feel like some sort of disconnection was happening between us. I didn't feel like I wanted to be with her anymore. Like when she kissed me I didn't feel connected to her anymore. It felt more like I saw her only as a friend at that time. A another thing that bugged me the most is that instead of thinking of Sarah I was thinking about Abi instead. I wanted to be with Abi not Sarah. You're suppose to want to be with you're partner and desire to be with them. That's why I broke up with her. Sure it hurt as I still like Sarah as a friend but she decided that she couldn't stand being around me knowing she didn't like me in a romantic or sexual way. Basically she doesn't want to stay friends. So I haven't talked to her since. I now prioritize my friends. Even if I was healing from a recent break up my heart was pounding quickly whenever I'm with Abi, I have butterflies in my stomach. I act all kiddy sometimes. It's strange, I really hate that I'm thinking this way about Abi. I used to only see her like a friend now I see her in a different light. I notice all those small details like when she gets all excited about the animes she watches, she looks cute, when she smiles my heart skips a beat. Yeah that's basically it. I heard about omnisexual on the internet and I realized that actually applied to me. I like all sexualities and genders but I have a preference for woman. It's tough trying to accept that I'm no longer pan but something else. I've never openly talked about my sexuality to Abi not even Olivia. When your two best friends don't really like that you surely don't talk about it. I don't like knowing I'm catching feelings for Abi but I guess I have to accept it at some point. I don't even act the same when I'm around her lately. I hope she didn't notice but she's not that dumb I'm sure she noticed. "Earth to Ben!" I stop zoning out instantly and I notice that Abi is trying to get my attention. "Uh yes?" She looks at me a bit disappointed but she shrugs it off. "You didn't hear what I told you right?" "Yeah no.." I scratch my neck. She pouts slightly but resumes talking." "It doesn't matter anyway. Your mother called us down to eat dinner anyway so let's go." She leaves my room in direction of the kitchen and I follow her. Is it me or do I look like a lost puppy following her? I normally am I the one to lead but I guess not today. Walking behind her makes me have a feeling of contentment. I really have to figure out my feelings and what to do with it. Everyone knows it's dangerous when you like your best friend. A friendship is at stake here.

It's already the last day of school and today is Rochester day, like our school president mentioned. It's already noon already. The basketball team won their game and the soccer team too. Now the only big thing left is the school play. I'm nervous but I know I'll go alright. Today it's a sunny day. The exam week went well for all of us. I don't know for Mason but I'm sure he pulled it off. Never a judge a book by it's cover they say. We're currently lunch in the school yard. "I can't believe today is the last day of school. Are we gonna all see each other this summer?" "Isn't it your birthday in July?" I mention to Abi. "Yeah you're right but still it's only one time." "Nobody can forget about my birthday." "What'd you mean Mass?" "My birthday is in July too." "Ohh that's cool, which date?" "It's on the 28th actually." "Oh! Mine's on the 13th!" "Our birthdays are gonna be so sick!" "Yeah I know." At this point we all feel a bit left off by Abi and Mason. They are basically forgetting we exists. I don't really like the fact that Abi prefers talking to him instead of me..I know he's taken but still I don't like it. I'm not jealous or anything but I don't like feeling left off by her. "So.. you guys are gonna watch the show right?" Yes! it was about time someone brings the conversation to all of us. You don't know but thanks William. I'm pretty he doesn't like his boyfriend talking more to Abi than him. They stop talking and look at William. "Yeah why wouldn't we be there?" "She's right. Why wouldn't I be there to cheer for you?" William looks back at him and look like he wants to say something but refrains from doing so. While we talk some more we don't notice other people approaching us. "Hey! Mind if we eat here with you guys." We all look at who's talking. Turns out it's Charlie talking and beside him is Maverick. "Sure sit down with us." They sit down and it doesn't take long for everyone to congratulate Mav on his recent win. "Hey congrats man!" Mason hits him in the shoulder. Maverick is visibly not used to all the praises coming from us. He nervously chuckles. "Thanks, you don't need to mention it." Charlie looks back at him in Aww. I don't like gossip but seriously there's definitely something going on between the two of them. "Now that I think of it, congrats to you too Charlie!" "Huh? What for?" "They announced this morning that you won the arts contest!" "Oh, thanks?" "So you're the one that's good at arts." Mason mentions. "Yeah that's me." He says it in a scarstic tone. We all laugh along. "Ok enough with the flattering. Aren't you guys gonna perform at the school play later?" He points towards me and William. "Yeah" We both say at the same time. "Oh ok I'll make sure to cheer fo you guys." "You don't need to cheer for us I think just your presence will be enough." I make sure to mention. "Oh ok but we'll still be cheering for you guys." We continue to talk for a bit then a certain somebody approaches us. "Oh look at that! Mason you're hanging out with them?" Mason glares at the said person, Joshua. "Will you shut up?! Wait I know what is annoying you! You don't like seeing me and William together huh?!" Joshua glares back. "Hey will you guys chill out please? We don't need a fight going on when it's Rochester day." They both look at Maverick but resume their beef. "You want a repeat of the other day?" "Nah I'm fine. Fighting with you will only be a waste of my time." Mason looks ready to explode at this point. I really hope this doesn't turn out to be a fight. They are staring the whole school attention by now. Mason gets up from the grass and looks ready to punch Joshua but the school president stops them just in time. "What is going here? Your really gonna bring trouble again Joshua?" "No I was just-" "I don't care we all know you started it anyways." Wow she's smart. How does she know he started it for real? Joshua huffs in frustration. "Yeah that's what I thought. What did he do again?" "Ah it's nothing, he just started bothering us." "Are you sure Mason?" "Yes" "No he was insulting us and stuff." Oh Olivia spoke up what a surprise. "Oh ok I'll leave with Joshua here. I hope you guys have liked Rochester day so far. Congrats Maverick and Charlie. Good luck for you guys." She looks at me and William. "Thanks" "Our day has been going good so far." "Glad to here that." After that she left. We continue talking and eating but it was short lived because some other people approached us. "Hey we're here." The whole looks at them questioning why they are there except Charlie and Maverick. "Oh sorry guys I forgot to mention that I invited Kilan and Dakota to eat with us." "Oh it's fine, no need to worry Charlie." I truly wasn't expecting them to come eat with us. Then again we talked to Kilan once but usually they never really talk to us so yeah. Oh yeah we all know now that's they are non binary, Charlie told us. I'm pretty sure Kilan didn't want us to know but we're fine with it obviously. The girl beside them, is who I don't know yet. Who is she?" "You guys can sit down now." Charlie pats a place beside him. They eventually sit down. "This is Maverick, you already know him, next to him is Ben, then there's Abigail and Olivia-" "Hi!" "Then to the next you have Mason and William that are.." "We're dating actually." The 4 additional people look at the said couple in surprise." "Wow you guys are dating?! That's so cool!" "Cool" "Nice" Dakota nudges Kilan in their arm. They clear out their throat. "Um and we are..-" They start holding Dakota's hand. Geez they look real awkward there. "We're dating." They say it like it's a statement. "Oh, I guess we're not the only one dating here." Mason mentions. "Loosen up a little Kilan. Look they are all supportive no need to be all serious." They slightly nod to make sure she knows he listened to her. "Oh while we're at it, I'm Gender fluid. I'm sure you guys haven't heard about it even if I came out already." "What does Gender fluid mean?" "My gender identity is fluid. It basically doesn't stay the same. Sometimes I feel like I'm a boy, other day I'm a girl and I know you get the thing now. "Oh ok."

The day is already over. The school play went fantastically. I was basically shining while I was dancing. Abi took a video of me. It might me smile when I could recognize that all my friends were cheering for me. Apparently we might see all each other in a few days. I'm kind of confused about that but we'll see. Charlie hinted that he would like to go in a arcade Mav's idea apparently. He said he would like it if only, Abi, Mason, William, Kilan, Dakota, Maverick, him and I we could all go to the arcade. Olivia said that she's leaving for a camping in a few days which is true but I'm still skeptical about this whole thing. Is it me or are day trying to set some people up? Nah they just want to hang out that's it. Oh well I think this summer is gonna be eventful just like the end of the year.
