"Hey love," Jake said to Chris.
"DUDE, I'M NOT YOUR LOVER. Aye aren't you that dude Jake that's friends with Kathy?" He asked
"Yes cutie," Jake said.
"BRO, STOP! So Mala this was the pretend girl you was talking about?" Chris asked.
"I'm not for pretend hun, this is all diva here," Jake confirms.
"Yeah that's the one," she said.
"Since this is not a girl Mala, I can kick his faggot ass for you," he said.
"NOO," Mala said, shouting.
"I can take a beat from you anytime," Jake said.
"SHUT UP FAGGOT," he said.
"I don't like that word, please stop calling me that," Jake said.
"What? FAGGOT? YOU FAGGOT," he said, teasing him.
"I SAID I DON'T LIKE THAT WORD," Jake said, shouting and crying.
"CHRIS STOP," Mala shouts.
"WHY PUT MY GIRLFRIEND IN THIS MESS? WHY DID YOU MAKE HER LIFE A LIVING HELL AND SHE'S JUST CAME FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY?" He asked.
"BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO TAKE ME AWAY FROM YOU," Jake said.
"DUDE? ARE YOU DELUSIONAL OR WHAT? He asked.
"I love you Chris..." Jake said.
"No," he said, shaking his head in disapproval.
"I really love you..." Jake said expressing.
"NOOOOO... STOP SAYING YOU LOVE ME BECAUSE I DON'T LOVE YOU," Chris said.
"Chris calm down, don't take it personally, Jake is gay, and Jake I'm sorry for what ever has happened to you, and I just want you to know I understand," Mala said, making Jake feel comfortable and at ease.
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME, YOU'RE NOT A HOMOSEXUAL, YOU DIDN'T SUFFER LIKE I DID, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE A HOMOSEXUAL, AND TO FEEL REJECTED ALL THE TIME," he said, loudly.
"No I don't, but I knew some people in India where I'm from that is homosexuals, and I had some in my school but they were afraid of being themselves because my native culture is so strict and in my country when they see a gay or lesbian person in public they look at them as they are aliens from out of space, but they are normal," she informs.
"Haha, aliens huh?" Jake asked.
"Yeah and that's how me and my family feels about America where there are a lot of people stares at foreigners like they are aliens, so I can relate, and understand what it feels like to be alienated, alone, lonely, doubtful and ashamed that you feel like you can't fit in anywhere because of prejudice and hateful people who will not accept you for who you are," she said.
"Wow, no one hasn't talk to me like that before," Jake said.
"Talk to you like what?" She asked.
"With love and caring. All I always wanted was someone to talk too," he said.
"What about your parents?" She asked.
"My parents believes that God only created man and woman to be together some shit like that," Jake said.
"You damn right God did," Chris said.
"CHRIS? Stop," she said.
"See, that's exactly what the problem is. Boys like you always teases me for being me, for being a faggot, that's what you guys call us gay boys. You guys never show any love or support for the gays," Jake said.
"It's okay Jake, straight guys are very stubborn to that," Jake said.
"I'm not stubborn," Chris said.
"Mala thank you," Jake said.
"For what?" She asked.
"For appreciating and accepting me as myself," he said.
"Your welcome Jake. Oh can I ask you something?" Mala asked.
"Yeah," he said.
"Did those girls in the bathroom yesterday see you in there?" She asked.
"Yes I know those girls, they allow me to go in there with no judgement, they are my divas," Jake confirms.
Chris is getting very annoyed by the way Jake is talking and acting extremely feminine, and he always were against the LGBT communities for personal reasons.
"Oh okay," she said.
"Mala I just wanna say I'm sorry for the threats and notes, I know I should be punished for that," he said.
"Yeah definitely," Chris said.
"Chris? Come on," Mala said.
"He's right I do, but I'm sorry," Jake said.
"I accept your apology Jake," she said, reaching out for a hug.
