_ Do they know? That you're gay?_ Why waste their time with it? It's not like it'll ever be an issue anyway._ Yeah, but, it's who you are, right?_ I guess so, _ he said. _ I don't really know how to be any way else._ When did you know?_ I was twelve, maybe. Something I just knew one day, even though I hadn't known it the day before._ So it's like that, huh? A feeling? Not just being into other dudes?_ Oh no, it's that too. Of course it's that. But it's more, I think. Not so much a feeling as a fact, like having blue eyes or brown hair. It's just maybe something you don't discover until you're ready to understand it better._ Like being straight, _ she said. Only we don't have to deal with all that closet bullshit._ Bingo, _ he said.
