I don't want people to know!

Dear Dave,

I need some advice. I'm 15 years old and my high school isn't the most gay-friendly school. I'm gay(I've known for a while now) and like most male teenagers(gay or straight) I happen to be horny a lot of the time. Well last year I happened to carry around with me a disk filled with some gay pics(I didn't want my parents to see it at home), and one day, some jerks were going through my backpack and found the disk. I never knew about it until a 2 weeks ago when one of those jerks told me that he took the disk and saw what was on it. He asked me if I was gay and I denied it. He told me he was and that a lot of people in my school were. I didn't believe him, I thought maybe he was trying to get me to admit it or something only to laugh at me later, but there have been going a lot of rumors around school that he is. A lot of people have said that he is. Even my friend told me that he has a gay cousin who he is going out with. I'm very anxious about him telling people(if he hasn't already) about me being gay. I'm not ready to come out yet. I haven't spoken to him since he asked me if I was gay, I've just tried to avoid him. What should I do? Should I talk to him? Please give me some advice.
