    So, when i was in eighth grade, i started thinking that i was gay. I told one person and they told everyone. I wasn't completely sure if i was or wasn't so I just told everyone that they were just rumors.
    Now, two years later, i've decided that i'm bisexual. I had been thinking about it for a while, and decided to come out to my best friend.
    It was halloween and i was at her house and we were getting ready to work at a local haunted house for charity. We had just done our makeup and i was like, "Hey, can i tell you something?"
    "Yeah."
    "Promise not to freak out?"
    "Promise. Hey, take my picture." I got my phone out and pondered how i would tell her.
    She made herself look as crazy as possible (we were mental patients). While she was posing, right as i took the picture, i blurted it out. "I'm bisexual"
    "Ok" she was so calm, like i had just told her i had just told her i wanted pizza or something.
    "That's it?"
    "Yeah. I mean, i kind've knew. You're really smart, and pretty and funny, but you never have a boyfriend for long. " she wasn't coming on to me, she's dating my step brother. "I heard the rumors in 8th grade but i just thought either you weren't or you just weren't comfortable enough to tell me. I also have pretty good gaydar."
    I wasn't sure if i should've been offended that it was so obvious.
    Lately, we talk about it. I've come out to two other friends since then. She asks me how i knew and talks about how it really impresses her how comfortable i am with it.
