1 First sight

Ugh, what happened last night?, I thought to myself. I sit up in bed, Scoping my room out a little. Beer bottles, trash,... sigh, men's underwear. I saw a pair a girl panties that weren't mine, and smile a little. Wait... what!? Astern, pull yourself together. You have to be straight, If not mom will kick you out. My family, especially my mom, are very homophobic. My brother, Sam, is bisexual. I think I'm gay. Aka Lesbian. I don't understand why people think that is wrong. It's just how a person feels. Everyone has a right to happiness and peace. I get out of bed, and head over to my dresser. I pick some jeans, and a binder to bind my chest, because I don't really like my boobs, even though they are small. I get dressed, brush my teeth, grab my stuff for school, and head out the door. No one is home, so I'm good. I get to the bus stop, to see my friends. Katherine, Gage, Areylious, Christian were already there. I say my hellos before Katherine jumps into some cool gossip.

"Hey guys, did you hear about Tiffany, and how she got pregnant during a party this Christmas break? It was insane. I have a feeling we could guess the daddy. Hehe." Katherine giggles a little.

"Oh come on, it can't be Jace. He is too much of a man who're to do something like that." Gage says, like he always does, tries to stick up for people.

"What Gage? Got a gay crush or something?" Katherine jokes.

"Hey Kat! You know I don't like joking about that stuff." I say.

"Oh right, sorry Astern." She apologizes.

"It's okay."

"Where the hell is the bus at?!" Areylious complains. Rey, always complains about everything. It's stupid, honestly.

"Calm your man tits dude! It'll get here at some time." Christian says, annoyed.

"Yeah, Syndy just takes a little while." Syndy is our bus driver, FYI.

Right as I said that, the bus came around the corner.

I took a seat the fourth one from the front, and popped in my ear buds. I put on Damn Gurl by Neffex, which is my favorite band, and song In the world. So is bts.

The bus drops us off at school, where I go over to the courtyard, to see my friends. It's been 2 weeks since I've been back at school, and I still feel like a outsider.

I sigh to myself, as I walk up to my group of friends.

"Hey guys." I walk into the group.

"Whats up, Astern." Ja Kylie holds her hand up for a high five. I return the favor.

We all start to talk, until the bell rings telling is school is starting.

I blast through 3 periods Like a pro. Now, the part of the day, that is not my most favorite thing of the day, Lunch. I sigh, as I get behind a not so big line. I don't bring my binder to school anymore, so I don't have to go to my locker that much anymore. Now I get to lunch earlier. I dont mind it that much.

I get at the front of line finally, and get a plate of chicken nuggets, and mashed potatoes.

I walk out back to the courtyard once again, and find a table no one is sitting at.

I sit down, and begin to eat. Meanwhile, my friends start to come sit down with me.

They all tell about there break and stuff. I wasn't paying attention. I was too caught up in my thoughts.

"Hey Astern? You there?" Maya waves a hand in front of my face. I snap out of my thoughts and look at her.

"Yeah. Sorry, I was caught up in my head. What's up?" I ask with a small smile.

"So, did you see you know who during the break?" She was doing that weird wiggle thing with her eyebrows. I laugh a Little.

"No. Cheyenne, right? Yeah I haven't seen her." I sigh.

"When are you going to confess your feelings to her girl?" She asks, sassyily.

"What if she rejects me? She'll tell everyone! I'm not ready to come out yet to the rest of everyone. I feel more safer right now, telling you guys." I explain.

"Okay. I understand. I respect your safety." Maya smiles.

I smile back.

The bell rings once again, telling us to get to 4th period.

I almost fall asleep during Social Science. Rome is coming and everything, but do as really have to learn this boring way? There has to be a better way to do this. Bell rings once again.

I blast through the rest of my periods. Middle School will fly right by.

I start down the staircase, go through the courtyard, enter the other haft of the building, walk down a small hall, leave out the door, and walk over to the bus.

I sit down in the seat I sat in this morning. Yet again, I pop in my ear buds, and put on a Nightcore playlist.

The bus starts moving, and we're off.

That's what a regular day looked like, until something happened that will change my life forever...
