Chapter seven
A differnt beginning
Phase One And Two. 7
When Lenett Peterson walked down the hall to her homeroom, she noticed a lot of people were stareing at her and whispering behind her back. Some people were even openingly laughing or sniggering when she walked past them. Lenett wondered what she had missed, as there was obviously something going on that she was not aware of. Lenett reached her locker and opened the door. She froze in horror when she saw the inside of her locker, everything was starting to click into place. She was not apart of what the others found so hilarious. She in fact was the main source of everyones hilarity. The inside of her locker was currently covered in pictures of her covered in horse shit. And these were high quality coloured pictures.
She quickly grabbed her books and slammed the locker shut. She quickly made her way down the hall to her homeroom, and nearly passed out on the spot when she entered the room and noticed the teacher wasn't there yet. But that was not what had Lenett Peterson rattled. The main reason Lenett was silently begging for the ground to swallow her whole, was because not only had her locker been filled with the humiluating photos of her. No her locker was most certainly not the only place the pictures had been placed. It appeared everyone in her home room had a copy of the offending photo graph.
One female student commented snidely "woah Peterson, I thought I could smell shit when you entered the room. Now I know it wasn't just my imagination." She and a few other girls reached into their bags and took out their deodrent or perfume and sprayed the air in Lenett's genaral direction. Lenett was mortified when the guys started making sounds that a horse would make. Lenett quickly turned on her heel and ran out of the class room, followed by the loud laughter of the student body in her home room.
By lunch time Lenett was serious pissed. Not only was her locker covered in the vile pictures, and every student in her home room had a copy. No the entier student body at st James all had a copy, and the walls in the boys and girls bathrooms were covered in the photos. By the end of the day the care taker had been assigned the task of disposing of the offensive pictures. No one was any of the wiser, as to who was responisble. Brian and Justin along with the rest of the gang were reveling in the success of phase one of their plan to ruin Lenett's reputation. They were setting up phase two, and they were going to pull it off with serious relish.
The next day Lenett walked into her homeroom and noticed the students were looking at her in disgust, especially the girls. A few of the females moved their desks several feet away from Lenett. The guy that was sitting in the desk behind her said, "jeez Peterson, after what I heard it makes me relieved I never nailed you. What uses would I have for a dyke?" Another student asked "so how long have you been out of the closet? Do you fancy joining us at the gay and lesbian club after classes are over. I have on good word that me and the others are to welcome you to our happy little group."
Lenett looked extremely ill. It appeared she was going to pass out at any given moment. Lenett nearly vomited there and then when, one of the girls asked her what was her type and was she free to hang out after school. Another guy asked her "so what do you carpet munchers do for entertainment?" Lenett quickly got up out of her chair and grabbed her bag and books before she bolted out of the room.
Later that day Lenett was close to tears. She had been given several flyers advertising the joys of being out and open about your sexuality. She had been asked out by several girls, guys avoided her like the plague. She was called to the school councils office, where she denied she was not a lesbian. But the counicler had insisted she didn't need to continue hiding who she really was, and that she was intitled to express herself. And to finish the day to end all days, Chris Hobbs dumped his girl friend in front of the whole shcool and insisted he was no bodies fool, and would not put up with being used as a munchers experiment project into the life experiances of hetros.
The only people who didn't believe she wasn't a lesbian was her friend Lana and a guy from her own year called James Kemp. Lenett was misrable, all her friends had deserted her all but one. None of the guys, all except the queers would dare go near her. She no longer had a boy friend. In short Lenett's popuality and reputation was in tatters, she knew things would not be the same ever again.
It was four months later, and the school was getting ready to finish for christmas. Lenett had discovered over the pass few months after being made to hang around with the gay and lesbian students, that she found they were not as bad as she first thought them to be. She also realised she was attracted to two members in the group and much to her horror then her surprise, she discovered one of those attractions was to a female. Lenett was having an hard time dealing with the fact it appeared she was turning out ot be a lot like her younger sister. As much as she silently denied it to herself, she couldn't stop herself being attracted to both genders.
Lenett knew she was going to have to do the last thing she ever wanted to do, and that was talk with her younger sister.
It was out side the art room that Lenett cornered Lindsay. Lindsay came out of the class room with Justin by her side. Lindsay sighed exsaperated when she saw her old sister waiting by the door. Lenett sighed and asked "Lindsay can we go so where to talk, in private?" Lindsay huffed another sighed and told Justin she would see him at home in two hours. Justin was reluctant to leave the blond artist alone with her older sister, but agreed after Lindsay insisted she would be find and had the situation under control.
Lindsay got into her sisters car, and they drove to a small tea room about twenty minutes from the school. Lindsay got a seat in the far conrner of the tea room by the window, while Lenett went and bought them a milk shake each, strawberry for herself, and chocolate for Lindsay. She paid for the drinks and walked over to her sister who was currently looking out the window at something that Lenett couldn't see. Lenett sat down and placed the chocolate milkshake in front of Lindsay and began to drink her own.
Lindsay drank a mouth full of the milky substance then turned to her sister and asked "so what is it you wanted to talk to me about that you couldn't say in front of Justin?" Lenett sighed and told her sister what had been plagueing her every thought since October. "Well, to put it bluntly I'm in fucking hell. Ever since my reputation at st James was destroyed, I've been noticing and feeling things I wouldn't have ever considered before or addmiting to before the beginning of the new school term. What I'm trying to say is, that since my reputation was destroyed I've come to realise that I'm a hypercrit, that I forced you out of your home over something I had no right to even do."
Lindsay looked at her sister strangly and asked "what exactly are you geting at here Lenett?" Lenett replied "well, since I can no longer hang around with the company I used to keep, and that I've been made to have to hang out with the students from the gay and lesbian group. I've developed an attraction to two of their members, one of them a male and the other" she trailed off and pinched the bridge of her nose.
Lindsay frowned at her sister for a moment, until it suddenly dawned on her what her sister was trying to say. Her older sister was attracted to anothe girl. Lenett would have laughed at the expression on her sister face at that moment, if it the sistuation had not been so serious. Lindsay mumred loud anothe for only her sister to hear "are you serious? or are you just making fun of me?"
Lenett ran a hand through her long blond hair and replied almost despretly. "Fucking hell Lindsay, I keep silently telling myself that I'm not attracted to females as well as males. But every time I manage to convince myself that I'm not attracted to them, something happens and all that self convincing takes a dive out of the window. For example, I find myself in the girls changing rooms and just seeing all of those naked breasts and other assets soken wet and being soaped, is a sure way to grantee me soken wet panties. It's gotten to the point where I'm reduced to taking a shower after all the others have left. As I'm terrified of being caugh looking, then all of those fucking cheer leaders and hetro bitches, that I was convinced I was once one of them, would make my life a living hell."
Lindsay was shocked, Lenett was clearly telling the truth. She was close to tears, Lindsay knew when her sister was faking it or crying for real. And she could see Lenett was genuinely distressed. Lindsay sighed "I guess me and you are more a like and have more in common then we ever imagined possible." Lenett growled "fucking Hobbs, did you know he some how got into my locker and put a picece of old chewed up carpet in there, with a note telling me it was for my enjoyment and to get in some practice." Lenett said snidely "if he wants to fuck with me, then I say bring it on. I would gladly reveal to the entier cheerleading squad and their new captain who replaced me, exactly how tiny and unapealing his cock is."
Lindsay starting laughing. Lenett asked her what was so amusing, Lindsay explained between giggles "Paige Mattews gave him a blow job and said the exact same thing, that he's got a small dick." Lenett smirked and revealed it was true. Lindsay then frowned and told Lenett "what I'm about to reveal I'm certain you are going to freak over. But could you at least wait until we leave the tea room before you kick off please?" Lenett eyes her sister suspiciously before nodding. Lindsay revealed " I and the others are the ones responsible for destroying your reputation."
Lenett smirked and replied "thanks for confirming my suspicious. I had an idea you might of been behind it, seeing as you and Melanie were the only ones who knew about that son of a bitch dumping that horse shit over my head. And the second clue that really gave it a way, was when I was forced out of the closet I had no idea I had actually been hiding in so to speake, until two months ago. It all fitted prefectly, it was me after all who outed you and Melanie to the parentals and forced you out of your own home. Why should you not be entitled to revenge?"
This time Lenett did laugh at the expression on her younger sisters face, it was just to funny to maintain a straight face herself. Lenett added "well, as much as this pains me to addmit, I realise I have to addmit it. I deserved what I got and a hell of a lot more. It was after all my fault you were forced to move out of the house. And just between the two of us, you, Melanie and your friends did me a favour. You without realising it at the time, in away helped me discovered what I've been trying to denie for the last two years. Why else do you think I freaked when I caught you and Melanie having that conversation, I was terrified my secret would be revealed to our parents. Shit Lindsay I knew you and Melanie were both bi before either of you even did."
