Congruent AnglesA Story by LixxieAngle G-A-Y is congruent to angle F-A-B.The math room is not a pleasant one. It is noisy and irritating; how can anyone concentrate with all this yelling in shouting? But the teacher does nothing; she's perfectly happy with the arrangement. In fact, I seem to be the only one unhappy with it. Sighing, and placing my hands over my ears, I look down at the paper with ill-concealed disinterest. I couldn't possibly have interest in angles, at least, not when I'm thinking much harder about something else. Something which is crucial to my development, not... Congruent angles. List pairs of corresponding angles. XAY=ABC. No, the real issue here is the fact that I might be gay. I shudder. Gay. Or bi, at least. I've had tons of crushes on boys; I drool at pictures of guys kissing. But there's something about girls...The soft curving of the hips, the round faces, the long hair and eyes framed with curled eyelashes...It's just so hard not to look. F*G=DAM. I frown at my paper. That couldn't possibly be right. I check the diagram. FAB=DIM. I draw a rose on my work, with a drop of liquid dripping from the petals. Blood, maybe. I've always liked the idea of bloody roses. White ones, of course. I've told a few people about it. They weren't surprised, or, if they were, they didn't show it... But I'm still worried. How will I tell my parents, if I decide to? Or will I just one day bring home a chick and tell them we're dating? ...Honestly, I'm leaning towards the second option. And unless I ever decide to have a gay marraige, I'll never tell my brother; he'd laugh his a*s off for sure. DYK=HEL. My stomach churns. There has to be something wrong with that one... I move on. LEZ=DUM. I'm nearly crying. Why is my math telling me this? There's only one more problem, and I do it, but sadly. GAY=FAB. I leave the classroom smiling, much to the confusion of my peers. © 2008 LixxieAuthor's Note
