Genuinely one of the most embarrassing things i've ever done

This happened almost a decade ago so i feel fine talking about it on here because no one will see it

This is one of those childhood memories that actually puts me in a cold sweat at 3 AM

When i was in 5th grade i was doing a musical.ly live stream with my best friend and we kissed each other on a dare. It should be noted we were the same gender, and in Texas. There were only like 7 viewers so we didnt think about what we did, until i got a snapchat message from this bully ass kid in my grade. When i opened the message it was a picture of me. Kissing my friend.

"Is this u?"

My heart fell to my ass

Complete gay panic for like the first time

Obviously i lied and said no, and i convinced myself it would be forgotten by the next week (This happened over the weekend). When i got to school i realized it wasnt forgotten and everyone was demanding to know if i was gay or not and kept harassing me over it. 

My friend didnt go to the same school cause they were already in middle school, so they had no idea any of this was happening. Absolutely no communication on my part 😭

I got so sick of it that i knew i had to tell my mom, but i didnt want her to know i was kissing the same gender so i lied and said it was photoshop (before ai excuses). I dont know if she ever believed me or just took pity cause she contacted my friends mother to talk about it.

I suppose my friends mom believed it enough because the cops got called. My claim basically meant that someone had photoshopped two young kids kissing eachother and was distributing it. 

right

The cops decided that it couldnt be photoshop cause it was simply too realistic. Eventually my friend (who still had no idea this was happening until this very moment) confessed. 

I didnt want to confess though, so i doubled down and told the literal police they had no idea what they were talking about and they needed to look at the pictures again LMAOOOOO

There was no point, the cops knew, my mom knew, my friends mom knew, the other moms from school knew, they all knew so i kinda just gave in after a while. I was so mad at my bsf over confessing that i didnt speak to them for like a week.

I was then the gay kid at school from that point lol

I've never uttered this story out loud and i'm still too embarrassed to even joke about it with my mom its actually so bad

WHY DID I DO THAT 💀💀💀
