"George! Hurry up! We're going to be late! Nicks already in the car!"

"Shut up Karl!"

I sighed as I was making sure I had everything in my bag. It was the start of our freshman year of Highschool. My mom had to work and so Karls mom was driving us all to school.

I quickly hurried down stairs, making sure my binder was on right, before sprinting passed Karl, listening to him yell at me as I hopped in the middle seat of the back of Ms.Jacobs SUV, next to Nick.

"Ha! I beat you!!" I stuck my tongue out at Karl.

"No fair! I was ready first!" He mumbled annoyedly as he hopped in the car and shut the door.

"Shut up you idiots." Nick said with a small smile, already buckled and he reached over and fastened my seatbelt aswell.

I glared at him. "I can fasten my own seat belt!" My accent thicker than the morning breeze.

"Oh? Then why couldnt you when we went to Six flag?" He smirked.

"Shut up! That was ONE time!"

"Shut up guys moms tryna drive." Karl mumbled.

Once we got to the school, we said our goodbyes to Mrs.Jacobs and hopped out of the car to stair at the huge school infront of us.

"I didnt know it was this big." I mumbled.

"Mrs.Jacobs drives by it alot when we're with her." Nick smiled. "Its really not that bad. If you had gone to admission-"

"Dont even. You know why I didnt go."

"Oh my fuck you could have asked Karl for a hoodie."

"Yeah. Shorty." Karl snickered.

"Why you little-!" I started but I got cut off by the bell. "Shit! We gotta go! I Promised I would sit with Clay first period!" I quickly picked my bag up that I didnt remember dropping, and quickly ran to the door of the school, Nick and Karl close behind me.

"Ooooo~" Karl teased, earning a laugh out of Nick.

"Shut. Up." I mumbled as we made it to first period, and walked in. Of course, as expected, Clay saved me a seat and quickly ran over and sat down.

"Hey love." The blonde said with a small smile. He had emerald green eyes and a cut across his cheek. He always wore a green hoodie and black ripped jeans. Sometimes it made me confused if he had no clothes.
He then rested his hand on my thigh.

I hated that. A lot. He knew I hated when he did that without asking first but I gave up on saying anything. "Hi!" I half-heartedly smiled.

"Alright students listen up!"

And so class began.

After school.

Me and Nick were waiting on Karl when all of a sudden Karl came running out of the school, screaming like a girl, a faked angry Clay chasing him not to far behind.

"What the-" Nick started before I gently grabbed Clay by his wrists.

"Clay why a-" I started, before he ripped his hands out of mine.

"Dont fucking touch me!"

I froze. 'What..?' I thought, in shock and disbelief. He went from jokingly mad to lividly pissed real fast.

My eyes teared up a little. Perhaps i was being dramatic but he hasn't ever gotten mad at me like that. I turned my head away and ran off. I didnt care for walking home. Even if it was 2 miles away. I couldn't stand being near anyone right now.

....

By the time I got home it was already 6. But mom wasn't home yet. I sighed and kicked my shoes off, and went to the kitchen to start dinner. And thats how every night went. For the next two years. Mom wouldnt get home until 9 pm or later and she would be drunker than a fish. She wasnt abusive or anything but she was very neglectful and lazy. She didnt do anything for herself or the house. Or even me.

December 12th, 2017.

The christmas galla as I called it which was really just a christmas themed dance but very fancy, was coming up soon. I really wanted to go since its the first time I've been to a dance. I never liked dances since I never had a date. Nick never went for the same reason but Karl loved going with his 'friend' Alexis. I met Lexi before. Hes a nice guy. But anyways, I asked Clay to go with me and he said he was busy and I honestly wasnt surprised. Hes been getting a little distant with me more and more since the incident on our first day of freshman year. We were already in sophmore year but what can you do I guess..Before I completely lost hope I got a phone call.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey Gogy, Karl told me Clay didnt want to go to the dance with you?" The calm voice replied. It was Nick.

"Yeah he said hes busy.." I mumbled as I was cooking. Of course, mom wasnt home. I wanted scrambled eggs and sausage links for dinner so thats all I was making.

"Well uh, maybe I could go with you?" He asked, his voice a little quieter than before.

I got a little excited. He was joking right? "Really?!" I almost dropped my eggs.

"Yeah! I know how excited you were to go and Karl said you already bought a dress so-"

I cut him off with a squeal of excitement. "Yes yes yes!! Of course Ill go!" I was super excited now.

"Thats great! Ill see you saturday." He said, and then hung up.

I finished cooking before quickly eating my food and then rushing to my room to finish my dress. I sewn my own dress for this as I wanted to have my own design. It was almost done except a few minor details. Apparently when I openly talked about wearing a dress to the dance at school, a bunch of kids thought it was odd that I would wear a dress since Im a guy but suits dont fit me well. I've seen a lot of afab people wear suits, but personally I dont fit them well.

However my dress was coming along nice so I wasnt worried about it. I was so excited for the dance that I didnt even think about the decision to go with Nick. Let alone the consequences that came with it.
