Chapter 1: New Year

[Language]

New year new people right? Wrong. 

George was going into his second year of high school in Florida, he and his family had moved there from England a few years ago for the nice weather. He had just recently received his schedule for the year, school started in about a week. He sat silently in his room looking over the flimsy paper, quickly pulling out his phone to text the group chat to see who has in his classes.

Gogs: hey guys, I have Mr. Anderson for math, anyone have him?

Sap: Nah, I've got soot for music tho? I have no clue why I'm in music T-T

Alex: I've got soot and Anderson, what periods?

Gogs: I got Anderson for 4th and 5th period

Sap: I've got soot for 7th, weight training for 8th

Gogs: I have weight training for 8th to

Alex: I've got music in 8th, Anderson 4th, and 5th

Karl: I'm just gonna send my schedule, I've looked over it enough already

Gogs: oh hey Karl

Karl: hi :)

The boys continued to talk about their classes, Karl sometimes pitching in. They only had a few classes with each other, only having one class with all of them in the same period. George had left the messages be while he walked downstairs to join his family for dinner. 

"Do you have any classes with your friends?" Georges's mom started the conversation. "Mhmm" The brunet mumbled with a mouthful of food. "Great to hear" His mother said with a soft smile. George's sister chiming in, "D-do you think there with be any new kids this year?" she said trying to swallow her food. "There is every year, so probably" He gave a bland response. Him and his family finished eating and it was George's turn to do the dishes tonight. Once he was done, he walked over to the couch, giving his mom a hug before going back upstairs. She seemed a bit off, the brunet figured it would be smart to check up on her. "Hey, are you alright mum?" He tried to comfort her by rubbing her back. "Yes George, thank you." He could tell she wasn't finished. "It's- I just miss your dad sometimes that's all." George's dad wasn't in the picture, he had left when he figured out his mom was pregnant, she raised him with a very close friend of hers, they don't speak anymore, unfortunately. "I'm sorry mum, try and get some rest. I can put Lila (his sister [her name has never been released lol]) to bed." He cooed. "Thank you" She got up and started walking to her room. George was mature, responsible if you will. He took care of his sister, or put her to bed every once in a while, not very often though, his mother was a busy woman. George usually fed or cared for himself while his mom took care of the younger girl. 

Quick enough the week had flown by, it was Sunday, the day before he went back to school. He untucked the sheets from the mattress and slipped onto the cold, soft surface. He plugged his earphones into the device that lit up his dim room and pressed them into his ears. Opening youtube music, he selected a downloaded album he had 'for them' it read, it was songs George complied, imagining listening to them while taking a long drive with a significant other that he didn't have. He shut his phone off, setting it next to him. His alarm was set and his music was set to stop in an hour, to not murder George's battery. The brunet looked through his window admiring the soft rain that fell, soon enough he was asleep. 

'BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP' The alarm rang in his ears, similar to one of a microwave or oven when a timer had finished. He slowly moved his arms, eventually bringing them up to his eyes and rubbing them. Eventually, he got to the noise that was blaring in his ears, turning it off and turning over to sit up on the side of his bed. He sat up, grounding his feet to the floor to finally try and wake up, looking around the room before getting up to finally get dressed. The previous night he had picked out a nice pair of jeans, a collared sweater, and some high-top converse. He knew the same thing would happen this year that did last, he would just get called 'gay' or 'too feminine for a male' George wasn't labeled, gender nor sexuality, he never took the time to figure out the definition for exactly what he was, so people just called him what they wished to. When he was finally dressed, he headed to the bathroom which connected him and his sister's room, he simply brushed his teeth in his sink, ran his fingers through his hair, and grabbed some deodorant and cologne on his way out. He grabbed his phone and earbuds and exited the room, he kissed his cat goodbye and walked out the door at 7 am.  

He made it to school at around 7:30, he didn't mind the long walk, it was relaxing in the mornings and afternoons. He made his way to the dean's office to get his locker combination and number.

Once he'd received it he walked to the labeled locker, opening it and placing his things inside. He pulled the delicate white paper out from the side of his bag to look for the small printed number that would tell him where he needed to go first '404' was the first room number he had to move to. Making his way down the hall, fortunately, ran into Nick, who preferred to go by 'sap' with his friends. "Sap!" George whisper-shouted, Hearing his name called Nick flung his head around, looking for who called him. "Niiick" George said a little louder this time. "Gogs! Hey man!" Nick said, landing eyes on the slightly taller boy. 'Gogs, or Gogy' was a stupid name his friend group had given him in year 7, messing around with him and the name stuck. 

"What class are you headed to?" George asked standing in front of Nick. "405, you?" "Ah, one class off. I'm headed to 404" Nick gave a light laugh and said his goodbyes, and with that, he had gone to his classroom. George walked the same way and eventually stumbled into his classroom. He sat in the back and plugged in his headphones while more people started piling into the classes, he read the time '8:45' class starts at 9, he knew that.

One minute before the bell rang and the teacher walked in, a tall, blonde boy ran into the classroom, he stopped and scanned the room for a seat. The only one that was open was in front of George, he sat there and turned around to give the brunet a weak smile, he reached his hand back "Clay" he said. "George" he said shaking his hand lightly. "Love the name." Clay had said. "Thank you" George replied. 

After the teacher had finished introducing herself, she let the class talk to people around them, introducing themselves as well. Clay turned around again, "George was it?" He asked. "Mhmm" the brunet replied with a smile. "Tell me more about yourself George" Clay said, emphasizing his name. "Uh- well.." George paused. "My name is George, obviously. I like to read and write stories, drawing is a hobby of mine, and I like to listen to music in my free time, I also enjoy video games." George went on. "Lovely personality you have going on, I'm Clay, I play football and I surprisingly like to read, and I actually pay attention in school." "So you can give me the answers to the homework?" George asked cocking an eyebrow. This earned a laugh out of both of them before Clay reached to grab a paper off his desk, unfolding it. He slid it to sit in front of George. He pulled out his own and compared the periods and class numbers on the sheets. "Oh wow," He paused. "We have all of our classes together." George finished. "Lucky for you I guess." Clay gave a light laugh. "Alright kids, be quiet. Were actually doing lessons today." The teacher went on. Clay turned back around after giving another smile to George. He was sweet, not to mention handsome, and he knew it. George took his headphones out and laid them on the desk to pay attention to the teacher.
