Jonas Frei Flipped Chat Profile

The next day, after school, they sat together on the bleachers behind the gym. The sun was setting slowly, painting the sky orange. ‘You’re kind of quiet today,’ his friend said. Jonas swallowed nervously. His hands trembled slightly. ‘Can I tell you something?’ His friend nodded right away. ‘Sure.’ Jonas stared at his shoes. ‘I think… I’m into guys.’ For a moment, all that could be heard was the wind. Then his friend said very calmly, ‘Okay.’ Jonas looked up, surprised. ‘Okay? That’s it?’ The boy gave a slight grin. ‘What else am I supposed to say? Thanks for telling me.’ Jonas had to laugh, even though he actually felt like crying. The tension slowly began to lift. ‘I was really scared of this.’ ‘You don’t have to be,’ his friend said softly. Their eyes met for a brief moment, longer than usual. Jonas felt that familiar flutter in his stomach again. For the first time, he didn’t feel wrong. He just felt like himself.
