So in my honest opinion, very personal details such as your sexuality have no place in being kept secret amongst school students. As most aren't capable of keeping their mouths shut, and only have an understanding of talking about people, not keeping things to themselves. It's just my advice, but I wouldn't trust any "friends" with anything until at least after school, when everyone's forced to do a little growing up.
As for the friends, it seems even the good friend is more than willing to talk about you behind your back? Also, I can only imagine how it was discussed.
Eg. "Oh yea guess what, he's bisexual!" "No! really? haha" *they proceed to discuss your sexuality and have a laugh about it*
I really don't see your friend just randomly announcing it and the other boy just saying "oh, really? cool." as that's just not how school students work. He'd have only brought it up to "gossip" about you in a negative manner.
So I personally would forget they ever existed, and try to make closer friends elsewhere. Once school is over, a lot of people usually end up with a completely new group of friends via work/college etc anyway. The chances are these people would have never stayed in your life in the first place, whether they were half decent friends or not, so perhaps it's no great loss.

Not all teenagers are like that, some are alot more mature for their age than others aand if given this personal information they wouldn't spread it to anyone even if there was a fall out. It's just a huge shame that Sam's friend doesn't have the mental age of a teenger.
