. And flat-out mean!Mike had momentarily forgotten the guy was there becausehe d been so quiet.He turned and shrugged. So? He was surprisedthat Russell would act as if that were a bad thing. He s a queer.IMy Roommate s a Jock? Well, Crap! 201thought you, of all people, would appreciate the beauty of thismessage. He pointed to the mangled car and the two pathetic losershugging on the street next to it.Russell looked irritated instead.Why? Mike Foster, Russell said, don t you know that maliciousdestruction of someone s property is considered vandalism, and thatpremeditated vandalism on the basis of a person s race, gender,religious conviction, or sexuality is considered a hate crime?Mike, again, was confused by Russell s apparent sympathytoward Ellis. Russ, Ellis is a queer.Don t you get that? EllisMontgomery, my former friend and yours, has been taking it up theass this whole time and making a mockery of God s intendeddesign.Isn t that what the Bible says?Russell narrowed his eyes. Foster, don t bring God into this.You don t go to church.Your dad is a professed atheist and yourmother does drugs at the kitchen table.You don t get to use theBible in your defense when you don t believe in it to begin with.Mike squared his shoulders. What about you, Davenport?Aren t you being hypocritical if you say you believe in the Bible, yetyou re going to simply stand by and allow them to pervert all that sholy and true? He thought his response sounded very logical andpious.How clever. It doesn t sound very righteous to me. It s not my place to judge, Mike.And at the very least, it isn tmy place to exact punishment upon another human being for whathe chooses to do with his private life.Ellis and Cole are ourfriends. Were! Mike quickly interjected. Are! Russell emphasized. Why would you do that to afriend? You totally busted up Cole s car because they re gay? Aren tyou the least bit sorry that you did that?For a fleeting second, Mike felt a twinge of regret.Maybe Ishouldn t have gone this far? But just as quickly as the feelingcame, he dashed it aside. No! he snarled. Queers deserve to bepunished.I only wish I d done more.202 Wade KellyIn the distance, he heard a siren.He looked around.WhenRussell made no move and looked suspiciously calm, Mikedemanded, What did you do?Russell took his hand out of his pocket.He was holding a cellphone. I called Mr.George. He shook his head sympathetically. You ll never learn, Mike.My dad s best friend is a cop.How manytimes has he been to your house to break up the parties when they vegotten too loud? How many times has he warned you to keep yournose clean? You were lucky when you didn t do time for theFlannery stunt, or the girl in the wheelchair, but this&. Russellheld out his hand toward Cole s car. I couldn t let you get awaywith it.Mike s survival instinct told him to run.He rounded the bushand took off, but a cop car sat in his path.He changed his directionagain and ran down another street.Blocked.He turned again andbolted for the buildings that led away from campus.Another car,and several officers walked in his direction; he felt trapped.Hisescape routes were systematically getting cut off.He d talked toolong to Russell.He had one more shot, past the apartments and through themiddle of campus.He turned and saw Ellis and Cole watching him.He could feel them laughing, taunting him with their perverselifestyle. What are you looking at, faggots? he screamed, rushingat them in a fit of rage.Pathetically, they clung to one another as he swiftlyapproached.Ellis even lifted a crutch as if to ward him off with hismakeshift weapon.Mike shoved it aside easily and kicked at Ellis sone good leg.He howled in pain and stumbled, and Coleineffectively attempted to stop his fall.Mike took that moment toshove Cole hard in the chest.He laughed in triumph as Cole yelpedon his way down to the pavement, and then fled down the sidewalk.He collided with an officer as soon as he got ten feet past Cole.As he struggled against the handcuffs and stumbled down thepath the officer took him, Mike hatefully shouted in Ellis and Cole sdirection. I thought your Bible said homosexuality was anabomination? I guess you ll be joining me in hell!My Roommate s a Jock? Well, Crap! 203Russell, who now stood next to his friends, responded, It alsosays love covers a multitude of sins.Hate begets hate, Mike.Yougotta learn what it means to love! He put his arm over Ellis sshoulder as if to throw heaping coals onto the flames that rose upMike s back.Bile burned the back of his throat as he was guided into thebackseat of a county sheriff s car.No matter what Russell said, hestill didn t regret what he d done to Cole s car. He deserved it!Mike grumbled as the car drove off.204 Wade KellyChapter 15Hate CrimesI SOBBED against Ellis s chest, unable to pull myself away from thefragment of security I found there.I heard Russell rebuking Mikefor his actions, but I was too upset to look up.It was Mike&Mike&.Someone I knew&.One of Ellis s friends&.He trashedmy car because I m gay&.Because Ellis is gay.For some reason, high school memories painfully flooded mymind.Josh Green, punching me and calling me faggot.JeremySterner spray-painting my locker with the same cutting words.AndBrad Foley, the most hurtful part of it all; he stopped talking to me.Brad was my friend before he knew.Brad had treated mecompassionately on the baseball team and in the hallways at schoolup until that day in the locker room [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
