The new club that Clark and Johanna made, the Equal Love Club, was at 5:45 PM on Tuesday nights. It was to support all types of love, to get help from bullying, equality, and anything else. Sure, Clark new that nobody would really want to come (because the club name sounded kind of stupid) so he wasn't sure how long this club would remain posted on the bulletin boards at school.

The night of the first meeting, Clark and Johanna thought barely anybody would come. But actually, five people came, which was more than they thought. As people started coming in Johanna said to Clark, "It's kind of nice to know that some people actually agree with lesbian and gay rights." As more people were taking seats and settling down, Clark and Johanna went to the front of the room.

Once everyone was seated, Clark started talking. "Um, hello guys. I'm Clark Martin. This is Johanna Weathers," he waved his hand over to Johanna who was standing next to him, "and this is the Equal Love Club." He looked over to Johanna, hoping she would take over.

"Well, this club is to support all types of love and to talk about equality. Also to talk about any bullying or experiences of love... and bullying." She awkwardly tugged at the sleeve of her sweater before continuing on, "Now, if each person could stand, tell a few things about themselves, and yeah. Just stand up and we'll each go one at a time."

Everybody stood up. First, a girl with short, curly blonde hair and brown eyes stood up. "Um, hi, I'm Wendy Kalvin. I'm a sophomore. And I'm, um, interested in girls." She told, blushing slightly.

The next was a boy. He had pale skin, messy ginger hair, some freckles, and emerald eyes. "I'm Austin Quill. I'm a junior this year. And I'm just here to support.."

Then a girl with tan skin, short curly black hair, and glasses. "Hello, I'm Dara Georgias. I'm also here to support because I'm not lesbian. Oh, and I'm a sophomore."

Another girl with green eyes, curly black hair, pale skin, and some freckles started to speak. "Hey, I'm Amanda Will Meyers. I-I'm transgender a-and a senior."

"Uh, hello," a boy with bleach blonde hair said, "I'm Terrance Glen. I am currently a junior. And I'm also gay..."

Johanna smiled. "Well, nice to meet you all. N-now, shall we get started?" She looked over at Clark.

Clark breathed in. "Let's start." He said.

The whole time they talked about how all love should be the same, how things should be equal, and about the bullying experiences on chatlogs.com. When everyone left, Johanna and Clark cleaned the room and talked.

"That was terrible," said Johanna.

"No, it was fine." Clark said. "I thought it was even better for you, so you know that it's fine to be lesbian."

"I already knew it was fine to be lesbian until people started commenting things," she muttered to herself, but Clark overheard it. He felt a twinge of guilt.

"So, are we going to continue this club?" Clark asked.

She shrugged as she stacked a chair. "I guess so."

"Well, I think that's gonna be a good thing." Clark confessed. "And now that we told them about our online experiences lately, I bet they'll help. Comments will probably start stopping soon if they do help."

"That'll be good," Johanna said. "for both of us."

Clark nodded. He felt happy for starting the club. Maybe it could change things; and it would be a good change.
