CW: Mentions of being high, joints, and weed.

Travis Phelps

Yelling. I woke up and was hit with my Mom and Dad Arguing. Great. I hated when they argued. It always got my dad in a bad mood and normally I was the one who suffered the consequences. The yelling went on for maybe 5 minutes or so.

After a while, it quieted down and soon enough I heard him coming up the stairs. That's when I realized I was still in bed, shit. "Travis Phelps, your lazy ass better be out of bed!" I could hear him yell as I quickly got out of bed and started looking for my favorite sweater. I got lucky this morning when I had just started looking when he slammed the door open and my head involuntarily turned towards him.

"What are you looking at boy?! Hurry up and finish getting ready, I have to take you to school. And try to cover up that bruise, you hear!" Listen, I had very little makeup for one reason, to hide wounds, bruises. Or anything else my dad did that was physical. Either way, I tried to get ready as quickly as possible.

When I went downstairs I noticed my Mom's lip was busted, my Dad must've punched her on the lips. I gave her a hug and I knew that she would bandage herself after we left. "I love you Travvy have a good day at school" she whispered sweetly and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

With that, I quickly whispered I love you too and then me and Dad left. The car ride was quite like normal, it always was. I preferred walking but I hardly ever had the time to, it was only if I woke myself up. And about the bruise, I mentioned earlier, I successfully hid it well enough to my dad's liking.

The 10 minutes on the way there felt more like 10 hours. My dad hated radio music. He said that they shouldn't play anything other than gospel and on the gospel station, he disliked it because he said it had too many satanic devices. Yes, he's talking about instruments. When I finally got to the school I tried to get out as quickly as possible. Before I opened the door he grabbed my arm, I started running things through my head that I may have done wrong.

"Travis. I love you, have a good day." I turned my head and nodded, "Yes sir, I love you too." And with that, he seemed pleased, and I got out of the truck. Finally, School. I know it seems weird but school is my safe place.

At school, there's Sal and Larry, and Ash and Todd I guess. Neil goes to another school but frequently hangs out with us. I went to our normal spot. When I got there I just smiled. It smelled like weed and I knew Ash and Larry were getting high while Sal was playing Sanity Falls? I never liked metal music but this band was ok. And Todd was trying to stop Ash. It took them a little to notice I was there.

Sal was the first to see me and shouted, "Trav! You're earlier than normal." He shouted over the music walking over to me. I simply chuckled and nodded, Our spot was a shed behind the school that no one used and we claimed. It had bean bags, a couple of speakers, and a TV that Larry got from his mom who bought it at a garage sale. She found a better one and Larry already had a TV so he put it here.

I know it's weird that the school doesn't use the shed but. Larry, being stoned out of his mind, started yelling at Todd to leave Ash alone, she had joint in hand taking hits every couple of minutes, Me and Sal both laughed but settled on a bean bag. We just watched the argument happen. About 20 minutes later we had to start heading to class.

Lunch today was bologna day. My favorite food. Me and Sal would eat lunch at a different table than others. Normally it was us and Larry Ash who sat together and Todd sat with some gaming and book nerds. Sorry, geeks as he calls them. It's a nice change from a big group. '

"So, me and Larry are gonna be playing Mario kart tonight and have a sleepover, it'd just be us 3, do you wanna come?" I looked up from my sandwich while Sal was asking. "Yeah, I'd love to! I'll be there probably like, 7?" I said and he nodded. I would ask mom, pack my bag and leave. It should have been fine.

When I got home mom was in the kitchen preparing things for Sunday's potluck. I walked into the kitchen and my mom turned around with a smile, "Hello dear, how was school?" She asked and I said that it was ok while getting a small snack from the pantry.

"Mk mom, I'm gonna go start getting ready for the sleepover!" I said while walking to my bathroom. My mom knew who was gonna be there and I also knew she was gonna tease me later. You see, one major part I left out is that I like Sal. My mom knew and was ok with it. She supported me and didn't tell my dad.

I grabbed the only pair of sweatpants I owned, and they're grey. (Pft- grey sweatpants.) I just grabbed them and a plain light blue muscle tank. Not the most fashionable but nice to sleep in. I grabbed them, a towel, a washrag, and then got in the shower. I showered like normal, put deodorant on, changed, grabbed my bag, and left. I walked since the apartments aren't far.

When I got there Sal was waiting by the elevator since he was the only one except for Sal's dad, Larry's mom, and obviously Larry who had a key.

"Ready for the sleepover?" I heard him say, has his voice always been that deep? Shit, my heart started pounding faster and I felt the fluttering of butterflies in my stomach. I get to spend a whole night with my crush.
