Chasing Rainbows (COMPLETED)(Gay/Lesbian/Transgender)

Chapter four Tripps POV

I don't really eat much normally, so I just grab an apple and sit down next to Anna and the girl that came into our room this morning.

Anna's tray was nearly empty. "Hey Tripp! Uh Cady- this is my roommate Tripp and Tripp this is my new friend Cady." She says with her general perkiness.

Cady must already be used to it because she doesn't seem phased by Anna's antics in the slightest.

"Well hello there Tripp." She says and sort of awkwardly waves. I nod to her and take a large bite into my apple. I've always loved apples. It's partly because when I was younger I used to wish apples were actually poisonous, like on Snow White. I just wanted to eat the fruit and go to a better place.

But now I'm here in new hills. It's actually not all that terrible to be honest. At least not so far. Our 'activity' has piqued my curiosity but I'm not sure if it's in a good way or not.

I decide not to worry about it yet and just finish my unfortunately non-poisonous piece of fruit.

The girls are talking and I can seriously see some sort of a connection there. I mean it's all in their body language. Feet pointed toward each other, Anna is smiling a new smile that I sure as hell have never seen before, and it's almost flirty.

I guess they'd make a cute couple. Maybe I shouldn't say anything though. I wouldn't want to kill the vibe, or jinx it. I'm kinda rooting for them now.

I've always had crazy good instincts and I know I can trust these girls. I mean, after a while of your trust being destroyed with people, you begin to tell if they are trustworthy or not by simply looking at their faces. It's their expressions and their eyes that give them away. I don't exactly know how to explain it, but there's something disingenuous in peoples' eyes who are not worthy of your trust.

Cady looked over at me and she could tell I was deep in thought. "Well guys I guess we should get going to the first activity..." She said and brought up her tray as well as Anna's. I threw my apple core away in the nearby trash can and then got up with all of them.

Cady led Anna and me to this room. It looked sort of like a classroom. Now that I can handle. I like to learn. Even if it may just be a hoax about praying the gay away, I still love learning. I used to enjoy going to school so much. I mean I guess it was really to get away from my family honestly...

They've hurt me. In more ways than one. Especially my brother. But I'm not sure I like to speak of that.

The room begins to fill up and I get slightly nervous. I know we are all in the same boat here, all with our own stories, but I still feel disconnected from most of them.

A lady who looked very stern walked in the room. She was wearing a dark suit with her hair pulled back. She was quite beautiful. Cady told us she had to go which honestly I didn't want her too.

"Can't you sit in?" I asked confused. "I wish I could Tripp but my mom might suspect something. I have to go." She says and quietly slips out of the room. Family seems to either always lift you
up, or always pull you down.

But I guess that's just how life goes. Not much anyone can really do.

"Hello there everyone." The lady says sizing up the room and everyone in it. I squirmed kind of uncomfortably, feeling almost like I was under a microscope.

"My name is Miss Blake. Today we are going to be looking at some history of homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, asexuality, and being trans gendered." She says and pulls up a PowerPoint. So she's one of those people...

Pictures appear on the board of pride parades, happy couples and it honestly makes me smile. That's what I want. I'm tired of living in fear.

But then the photos slowly start taking a turn for the worst...
