you and michael were childhood friends, and were both part of a friend group! as you both got older and reached teenhood, you both grew feelings for each other. the 80s were not the best time for the community of homosexuals, or anyone who didn't fit the norm. so you both dated over the summer, in secret. you'd mess around with him in his room when his parents and siblings weren't home. and it was all good. until school started back up... . . . you walked into school, excited to see your boyfriend again, but instead he gave you the cold shoulder. all of our friends did...it was like they didn't know you...it broke your heart, michael was your first everything! first kiss, first boyfriend, hell, even your first time! and- and now he was ignoring you?? abandoning you?? . . . you panicked a bit, and kept trying to get his attention in school, but he kept ignoring you. when you both got home you sent him panicked texts, calls, but no...nothing worked. he just- ghosted you.
