My Day

This Isn't A New Thing (for me at least)

Isaac's POV:

        Weeks had passed since Valentines day, and even though it was late March it had snowed. Apparently, Mother Nature hadn't gotten the memo that winter had ended. I was not willing to walk to school in this weather so I had Robert drive us. "Isaac, I still think it was sweet that you made us breakfast" "OH MY GOD, Robert drop it I made pancakes with you a month ago big whoop seriously". "No, I will not drop it do you know how many --" "brothers memorize a recipe for their sibling the number is very small but you are one of them, Robert we've been having this talk for almost a month" "Fine I'll drop it on one condition" "what?" "fancy dinner party next Saturday only our parents, you, and me" "Gladly if it will get you to shut up".

        We arrived at the school of course Robert parks at the bottom of the sloped parking lot with the rest of our friends. Travis parked at the top with the football players but if we drove he would walk to the bottom just to find me, I think its cute personally. They all had worried expressions, well except Eugene but he's hard to read, I hop out of the car "Why do you all look so worried?" I asked really worried "oh god was there another shooting threat that's the second time this year" "well you could say something similar to that" Alyssa opened a Tupperware container and tossed me a cookie, it was frozen solid >:( . "Well Isaac someone put notes all over the building and they read" Eugene pulled out the note and read it aloud

Dear Mr. Mitchell,

        I regret to inform you that your homosexuality is a terrible sin and must either be repented or purged. We have noted that you refuse to repent so therefore we must purge the world of your kind. We will begin, of course, with you Mr. Mitchell seeing as that you lead a cult of homosexuals we hope that removing you will turn these people back to their natural state of god loving christian heterosexuals. And we do not mean Robert We do in fact speak of you, Isaac.

Sincerely

Good god-fearing Christians

        "So Edam and TJ just pasted these everywhere and I'm supposed to be worried that note is about as scary as a newborn kitten, after their cleaned up I mean" "What?" "newborn kittens aren't scary they have milk teeth and their claws are teeny tiny so they can't do any damage also their blind and are absolutely adorable" "no I mean how can you not be intimidated by this" "meh I've gotten worse just for being related to Robert I hadn't even come out as gay and I got some". "Well what scares me most is it isn't Edam and TJ they are out of town visiting Brayden in jail" "Oh yeah I'm still not intimidated Like I said this has happened a metric fuck ton of times" 

        Travis and I walked around the school as if nothing happened, or at least I did Travis checked out every student making sure they weren't going to pull a gun on me. I walked and smiled at everyone, just like normal. I heard whispers, but of course I was going to but they are all encouraging like "He's so brave if I got a message like that I would call the cops and never show up to school again" "I know and he doesn't even look nervous look at that he looks just like it was any other day" "why does that make him even cuter?" "Bravery girl he seems like the type who would fight a bear for you" then I heard a swoon. Lets just say I walked away even faster then, I'm not scared of someone threatening to shoot me in the face but girls swooning terrifying. 

        Finally, it was our last hour of the day I sat next to Travis. I rested my head on his shoulder. Last hour is history least interesting subject ever when taught by Mrs. Oldmin. We sat together I suddenly hear someone scream "Isaac get on the floor" I look around to see who's yelling. It was Jessica a girl in our class she looked panicked. "why?" "Someone has a gun and is looking for you" "oh well I did want to ask whoever wrote those notes a few questions but I think I'll stay here and let them come to me" I sat on the floor for the rest of the hour waiting. The final bell rang and people swarmed me while we tried to leave.

         Then their gawking was interrupted by a shot "there you are" "here I am I really don't move much so I don't know how you couldn't find me" "shut up" I probably should. The gunman or should I say gunwoman was short and thin. She had a cross rosary wrapped around her left hand "Anita, I'm really getting sick of the whole obsessive look you're going for" "I said shut up" she fired another shot into the floor luckily we're on the bottom floor. I walk right up to her. I pressed my head against the muzzle "ow hot ... I mean go ahead and do it  pull the trigger". Nothing, I reach up and pull the gun out of her trembling hands. "Even with a gun you don't scare me I've already been dead before so that thought no longer scares me and I've been through immense amount of pain so no gunshot could compare to dying then coming back so you can't scare me"

        My words echoed through the halls. I handed the gun to Travis. "Now you think I'm scary now when I hear your reasoning behind this I'm absolutely going to be pissed aren't I and I'm going to get even more scary" She ran right into or school police officer. Travis handed over the gun and everybody was told to shuffle out I grabbed Travis's hand and led him outside "so how exciting was that?" I ask twirling back to him "it was extremely scary" "not really probably the only scary thing was how hot the gun was" I rubbed my forehead "do I have a burn". He shook his head so I reached down and grabbed some snow and pressed it to my forehead. I feel hands on my back and I get pushed down into the snow. I roll over it's only Robert. "come on lets go home and never speak of this again" "that will require another dinner party this time with friends" "whatever you say, champ" "champ? I will have your head for this"

Quotes from Isaac: Lets go with that I was born with fear but living with Robert is scarier than anything you could ever imagine. Not kidding once he tossed a sword through our door because I took the last juice box. So no, I not believe I have fear anymore.
