Tommy sat down in the wings waiting for Roger. He wished that he didn't have to do this with everyone of his friends. Not to make a big deal of everything. But he did have to explain what was going on with him...who he was dating. Tommy did want to share Angel with his friends. Be able to talk to his friends about him...that would be worth all of the heart to heart talks.
He leaned against the walls and closed his eyes.

Roger slowly walked toward Tommy, he didn't know what to expect. He looked at Tommy and noticed how nervous he was. He didn't know what was really going on but he wanted to be there for Tommy. "Uh so what's up?" Roger said to break the silence.

Tommy looked up at him and waved half heartily. "Hey, man." He cleared his throat and then looked down at his hands, "I umm....Catherine. She's a piece of work isn't she?" He asked with a slight chuckle. "And well...she's right though." Tommy looked over at Roger. "I'm dating another guy, Roger. His name is Angel...and I...I really care about him. I'm gay Roger."
Then he took a deep breath and said, "I know I should have told you beforehand. A while ago. But when Benny found out...let's just say that he was less than...happy. And I guess I was just afriad that you'd be the same. Mark still doesn't know...so yeah if you saw me at the dance with a guy...that was him."

Roger smiled slightly, "Yeah she's really something...needs to work on that attitude though." He tried to brighten the mood just a little. Roger listened as Tommy spoke. So much things were running through his mind. He didn't know how to respond but of course he was a bit shocked at the information. "Wow..just wow." He took a moment to recollect his thoughts, "Tommy, you know I'm here for ya man and no matter what I'll always be there. I can understand why Benny felt the way he did..this is big news."
Roger looked up at Tommy, "But I'm glad you told me. Angel must be a great guy and I'm happy for you. I know it would be hard for you to tell me but you're still you, Tommy. I'll always accept you for who you are." Roger didn't know how to put all his thoughts to words but it came out pretty well.

"Oh yeah...that attitude...you should have seen her at the dance," Tommy snorted to herself. "She was insane. But...I guess that seems to be her job now. Being insane." Then he watched Roger carefully trying to gauge his reaction. And once again, at least he didn't pass out or scream running from the room.
"Wow..." Tommy nodded slowly. "I was kinda shocked myself. But it's the truth...." He bit his lip hoping that that would be the worst of it. "Thanks...for saying that at least. That you'll be there. Cause...not that I've been attacked or anything but there have been..." Tommy waved his hands not wanting to scare Roger off.
Tommy smiled slowly, this was much better. "He is a great guy. Awesome. I would gush but I think that might be better for another day. Don't wanna overwhelm you. But thank...really, man. You didn't...go running or cry. So we're good." He sighed in relief. "Ok I feel better now. Next and final, Markie."

Roger laughed, "Hm funny how I never really noticed her in school." Roger looked at Tommy with a slight smile. Then that smile turned to a frown, "Incidents I presume...if I find out who did that.." He paused and shook his head.
"Of course we're good. Me crying? Now then something would be really wrong." He grinned and put his hand on Tommy's shoulder. "Don't worry, Mark is the most understanding one of us all, he would be sure to understand."

"Oh really? Wonderful bliss I would think..not knowing her. You know...she has a thing against me because she asked me out. And I said no. For obvious reasons," Tommy explained with a sigh. "Don't worry about it Roger. I'm fine. Angel's fine. My books and locker...not so much but it's ok."
Tommy chuckled and nodded. "That's true. I really can't see you being all...watery." He smiled gently. "You're right about that. That's our Mark."

Roger laughed, "If only I didn't have to know her now. Oh wow talk about rejection, she's trying to get her revenge with all her attitude...irritates the heck out of me." "They destroyed your locker? If it gets any worse, I swear Benny and I will definitely do something." He didn't want any of his friends to get hurt.
"Mark will never turn his back on a friend. Which reminds me, I haven't talked to him at all since school yesterday. I didn't see him at the dance, did you?"

"The thing I don't understand about it is...well it was absoultely nothing personal. It didn't matter who she was. If she was...I don't know some big hot movie star, I wouldn't have gone out with her either. That whole she thing is a the reason. That was it. Well and I knew vaguely that she was less than a nice human being but..." Tommy threw his hands up in the air. "I don't know."
Tommy watched Roger with a frown and shook his head. "Don't worry...it's ok. Well it's not ok. But I'll live. They haven't hurt Angel or me so we're ok."
Tommy nodded. "I saw him at the dance. He went with Maureen," He said with a big smile. "He looked awk-WARD. Poor guy."

"Even if you did just go out with her, I think I would have to take you to the hospital to check if something was wrong with you," He joked. "But it wasn't your fault, you didn't even have that kind of feelings for her..she needs to learn to understand people."
Roger nodded, "As long as you guys are okay but they better dare not try to hurt Angel or you." He didn't really know Angel but from what he heard from Tommy and some other people, Angel was a really nice guy.
He was shocked and didn't know what to say. "Maureen? Are you serious?! I remember when he couldn't even get the courage to talk to her and then he went to the dance with her? Wow..."

Tommy laughed and then let out a sigh. "Yeah I would beg you to take me away. Put me in one of those little jackets. Just as long as Angel can visit," He said winking at Tommy. "Yeah...she's living in the you have to do this because that's supposed to happen. That since I was once a football player and she's a crazy popular girl that we should ride off into the sunset. You know...at the dance...she went off at me and Angel. And it wasn't because we were together...ok maybe that was part of it...but it was because we were happy. She said that people like Angel and me shouldn't be happy. And she should." He crossed his arms wondering how Angel could ever find sympathy for her. But that...that was Angel.
"We're fine, Rog," Tommy said quietly. "Don't go insane ok? Pull back the testosterone. I don't think anyone is stupid enough to go after us...physically. So rest easy. I appreciate it though."
Tommy chuckled and nodded. "Yep. I was there when she asked him out. Quite a sight it was. I think I heard Mark's heart beat through the phone that was on Maureen's ear. Aw, that poor kid. I just hope she doesn't do anything too...quick."

"Wow, well I guess she just thought she could get everything she wanted but you showed her what reality was. She will learn to grow up sooner or later." He nodded.
"Okay, okay I got it. But just be careful, some people might want to pick a fight especially the people who destroyed your locker.." He said. He didn't know who would do this but it was so childish.
"I've got to talk to Mark. Man where is that boy? He needs to tell me all about his date with Maureen," Roger laughed but was happy for his friend.

"Yeah hopefully...and as much as I love Angel..." Tommy paused, he used the l word. But he decided to just continue, "He was trying to help Catherine at the dance. He went to her after she picked on us for a while. And he was trying to help her and make her feel better. I just don't want him to get more hurt by her than he already has."
"I know. I will be. But I don't really think that they'll go after me. To my face at least. Not to brag but I'm not exactly the wimpiest looking guy on campus. I could hold my own," Tommy pointed out. Not like he wanted to be like that...aggressive. "Anyway. I got my own way to get back at them," He smirked deeply.
Tommy shrugged. "He's probably hiding from us. Not wanting to deal with the immenant teasing. You know it's gonna happen."

"Ah I see, well at least Angel tried. I would love to meet him though." He smiled and noticed Tommy said love. Wow love, that's something that not even I know what that is...but maybe with April, I'll find out what love truly is..
"Of course, you can hold yourself, I mean you were on the football team.." He stated. Roger knew that if someone could protect themselves and others, it would be Tommy. But he never really saw Tommy in that much physical action and he hoped he wouldn't.
He laughed, "Yea Mark wouldn't want to be teased about it but oh well someone needs to. I won't be that bad on him but I'm proud of him though. He actually made an effort to talk to Maureen and actually go out with her."

"We could set something up," Tommy said with a nod and a large smile. The thought of sharing Angel with the gang was exciting. "And then maybe I could get to know April some more....speaking of April..." He replied with a chuckle. Teasing his friends about their signifigant others was a fun fun thing to do. "You two...pretty close huh?"
"Exactly," Tommy nodded. "And I"m thinking that that's who did it. The football team. Frankly, unless it was just one person, it has to be the football team." Even if it wasn't them...he was going to make sure that they wouldn't dare to go after him or Angel.
Tommy smirked. "That's true. Our little boy is all grown up and dating." He sniffed as if he was crying. "Sunrise sunset...sunrise sunset," He started to sing quietly.
