Wednesday | 30th, September

    Diary...

I'm very sleepy and very sick right now. I still have to write this though. Today was an emotional roller coaster. I had work today and I was a little stressed. Elias and I talked today and well, it didn't go as I thought it would. I don't think we made any progress. Actually, I think we went backwards in terms of progress. I'm not thinking straight right now, so the things I write might be incorrect or fail to make sense. Just deal with it for one entry. I'm still super confused about everything. Anyways, on another note, London and I talked and apparently Lon...

...don
Guess what, Scott.

You
What?

London
We don't have to fake marriage anymore.

You
Wait for real? Are you serious right now?

London
100%

You
That's cool, man! Who is it?

London
His name is Xen.

You
No way...

London
Yes way. He came back to see me. I proposed and he said yes.

You
Aww how sweet. So she's a he now? How're we gonna tell your parents?

London
Yes. Transgender. And I have no clue.

You
We should tell them the truth. I think they'll understands. Or, at least Jenny will. I don't know much about your dad, sorry.

London
Alright. Should I pick you up after school and drive you over here?

You
Uh, I've actually got work after school. After that, Elias is probably going to want me to come over after work. Is it possible we can do it tomorrow instead?

London
Yeah, totally. I'll call you tomorrow?

You
Yeah.

I put my phone away and ran down the stairs. My mom was home and the house was much less scary. I admit I didn't get much sleep last night either. I think the dark circles got worse too. I'd just finished with my shower and brushing my teeth and now I was in white cargo pants, a colorful t-shirt, socks, and a beanie.

"Morning mother goose," I greeted when I saw my mom cooking breakfast. She smiled.

"Morning, Scoot. You stayed home for the night, were you okay? Did you sleep well?" she asked, putting a hand on my shoulder. She was aware of my fear of being alone in a house and always went out of her way to make sure I never was. My mom was just cool like that. I shrugged.

"I was fine, no need to worry," I assured with a smile. She nodded, patted my head, and stuck a piece of avocado toast in my hand. I took a bite and grabbed a hoodie, tying it around my waist.

"Walk to school today because you woke up so early. Have a good day, Sukotto-kun," she waved and I slipped on some sneakers and headed out the door. So far, it's been a normal day.

"Oh, hi Scott."

My whipped around and Elias was there, bag on his back. Damn it. There goes my normal day. He was also walking to school? At the same time as me? Please have our routes be in different directions.
