Chapter 6-Home in a life

I had finally done it.

I was honestly pretty surprised when Olivia said my coming out was celebration worthy but who am I to judge.

I was extremely delighted at how quickly it was over. One sentence and then they went back to their normal conversation as if nothing ever changed. It felt good.

"What time are we planning on going out tonight then?" I asked, not that I had anything to do later but it would be a good idea to tell my parents if I was going to be late or not. I don't want them to think that on day 3 of living here, I got kidnapped.

"Hmm probably right after school, Mila walks and I'm not sure if Dyl drives or not, either way, right after should be fine. However if you stink up my car from gym class you will be personally cleaning it." Olivia smiled yet I couldn't tell truly if she was joking, I hoped so at least.

"Sounds great!" I laughed as we entered Math together.

Math was not a class I typically paid attention in, I probably should but hey there are better things to do like day dream obscure, impossible daydreams.

Today's dream consisted of horse-sized dogs, not sure why, just picture if Clifford the big red dog was slightly smaller and not red. Ok, maybe it's nothing like Clifford. A slight stinging in my shoulder removed my dreaming phase as I turned to the blonde next to me.

"Did you seriously just poke me?"

"I didn't JUST poke you, I poked you about ten times so you could help me with this math stuff." She smiled. "Now." She tapped her pencil to the problem on her sheet. "Help please."

"You're asking the wrong person." I added.

"Between the two of us. I assume one of us has the right combo of braincells to comprehend how to do trigonometry."

"Here's to hoping." We both laughed.

The problem wasn't all that difficult in the end, after some googling, a bunch of calculations and some arguing, we determined the answer was 38.4 . There's some more numbers after the four however I assume they aren't extremely important.

38.4782 if we are being exact.

The rest of math was like that, we when through the questions together. I learnt that in fact yesterday we were not learning about fractions, I was extremely far off. I just hope that by some grace, I may understand all of this once we have the test.

The bell rang and we both exited the class, before doing so, I added a doodle of Mittens to Olivia's math sheet. I'm not sure if she saw it but if she does, I hope she likes it.

"Text me after school to lemme know if you're still good with going for ice cream around three."

"Will do!" I waved at her as I jogged to the locker room. Being late was not something I typically did.

I eventually slowed down admiring the atmosphere. The halls were fairly nice, the walls were painted white, the floors a brownish cream colour. I'm not sure if it was intentional or the years of students walking on them had left them stained. Gross.
