Amber Ordoway had known for quite a while that she wasn’t attracted to guys‚ but she hadn’t told anyone. It wasn’t out of fear of being ridiculed or seen as some sort of show‚ it was simply because it was no one’s god damn business. But finally‚ at the first party of junior year she came out of the closet‚ metaphorically of course. It had all happened because of one Matthew Jonas‚ a sleazy senior guy who probably should’ve known better than to hit on her. She was simply standing around‚ a red
