AnimalLover:Please come. You’d have a blast lol and I could use a friend. Some wild shit went down this past week and I can't vent to my usual bestie, because she hates one of the parties involved.

Justin glares at me. "You have to tell us who this mystery friend is, man. We won't stop bugging you until you spill the beans."

I can't keep it a secret forever. "Fine, it's a guy I've been talking to online."

Pablo raises an eyebrow. "Like a dating app?"

I shake my head. "No, a campus pen pal. We've been talking for a few months now."

"Well, why didn't you say so? That's awesome."

My face burns again, but this time it's not from embarrassment. It's excitement. For some reason,AnimalLovermakes me feel all bubbly inside.

Me:I smell drama.

AnimalLover:You know it.

Me:Well, I found out I was into guys this past week, so I have you beat in the drama department.

AnimalLover:WHAT

Me:It's a long story. Let's say I realized I was attracted to someone I find hot as shit.

AnimalLover:Oh wow. How did he react?

Me:Surprisingly well. We ended up in his bedroom, and things got pretty heated.

AnimalLover:What about Amanda?

Me:She's out of my life, man. I refuse to be with someone who won't commit to me.

AnimalLover:This is hawt.

Me:Hot?

AnimalLover:Oh, I'm gay, too. Lol I guess I haven't told you yet

Me:Cool. Maybe we can be gay friends :) IDK how this works

AnimalLover:Hell yeah. Okay, so we'll meet up this weekend, and tell each other what's going on. Deal?

Me:Deal.

AnimalLover:Also, you’re probably not gay but bi or pan.

Me:I'm still figuring out my label—if I even want one. You should’ve seen the way I sucked his cock.

AnimalLover:Lolololololol

AnimalLover:I got my cock sucked pretty good this past week, first time actually

Me:No shit?

AnimalLover:I’ve never come so hard in my life haha

Justin and Pablo exchange knowing glances, then look at me with an expression of awe.

"You're going on a date," Justin says in disbelief. "And you two are totally fucking."
