I wake up to music blasting in my ears. That means that my mom and my stepdad is awake dancing around in the kitchen making breakfast. My dad left 2 years ago after he tried to...It doesn't matter. But recently, my mom has gotten happier since she met this guy on tinder. Shes stopped smoking, stopped going out, and controlled her anger. Even though I miss my dad even after what he tried to do, i'm happy that my mom is happy. sigh. I start to get up but a sharp pain fills my chest. I sometimes forget to take off my binder before I go to sleep. My stepdad always reminds me to take it off before I go to sleep but I won't listen to that man. Even though he is nice and supporting.. But it's just that I forget stuff easily. That's the reason why i'm barley passing math class. I take a small breath in and a small breath out before I sit all the way up. I took a shower earlier before going back to sleep. I get up, walk to my closet, and put on an outfit. Today is friday. Thank god. So i'll just put on a random decent fit for bru- for school. I end up putting on a graphic paramore shirt with some jeans. Griffin recently bought me some converses as an early birthday gift. I don't wear converses like that but I know griff would be upset if I didn't wear them. Not to mention, he wrote some words on it. I noticed he wrote brother but scribbled it out, it's noticeable. I think of Griffin as my little brother too but I could never tell him that. I slip on the clothes and shoes, and grabbing my backpack. I look at my phone and I think it's for the best if I leave it here. Nobody texts me that much anyways. Well, it's usually my friend group who only texts me but no more. I head to the kitchen seeing my stepdad spinning my mom around with a pancake in his mouth. "Oh, hey kiddo!" He says almost dropping my mom. "Hey! You almost dropped me!" She says slapping his shoulder. "Sorry honey." He kisses her forehead. "Morning." I say going to sit down at the table. My stepdad places blueberry pancakes with eggs, bacon, and orange juice. "You know, I don't eat much in the morning." I say playing with the food. "Especially eggs." I make a fake gagging noise. "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Just eat how much you can kiddo." He ruffles my hair. Okay, remember how I said I didn't like him that much? He wasn't that bad. Hes alright I guess. Plus, the food does smell good. Mom sits across from me and my stepdad sits besides her. "So did you figure out what your going to do for your birthday?" My mom says trying to start conversation. "I dunno. Probably stay in home all day." I say shrugging bitting on a piece of bacon. His cooking was good. "I feel like since this will be your 14th birthday, you should tell your friends that your trans." My stepdad says taking a sip of orange juice then looking at my mom. "Yeah, I agree! Your friends are super supportive of you anyways." She says stealing some eggs from off my da- stepdads plate. "I don't know yet..." I'm almost done with my food at this point. "Thanks for the food guys, I have to head to school." I say getting up from my seat. "Wait, before you go kid" I look behind me. "Whatever choice is yours. We're not gonna force you." He says reinsuring me. "Thanks, see you guys later." I wave at them before leaving the house. Today was extremely sunny out. That either means it's going to be a good day or a chaotic day. I take my bike keys from out of my pocket unlocking my locked bike. There's been these kids stealing bikes so my mom suggested me getting a lock for mines. I hop on my bike and start heading to school. I noticed something a couple weeks ago. Me and Robin are close to eachother, we're basically neighbors. I know Robin always comes to school and hour late so I minus well pick him up. Plus, Finney gets upsets because he has nobody to talk to. i ride to Robin's house knocking on the door. There was no response. I start ringing the doorbell multiple times until I heard Robin cursing in spanish. "Who the hell- oh. Hey V" Robin says rubbing his eyes. "Hey Robin. Get dressed your goin to school early." I say stepping aside him into his house. His parents know me a lot because my mom and his mom are best friends. Recently, his uncle had died and I know that's been hard on the family. So I always try to check up on the family and on Robin. robin groans. "I don't wanna go earlyyy." He says whining like a child. "Do you want finney to be sad for an whole hour?" Robin then scoffs. "He wont be sad. He has bruce, billy, and griffin to talk to." He says crossing his arms heading to his room. I follow behind him. "Yeah but your his boyfriend."  Robin closes his bedroom door. "It's not official yet V, I've told you." He says muffling, he's changing out of his pajamas putting on clothes. "Well how about you guys finally make it official. Im  tired of having to wingman every single day." I roll my eyes. Robin opens the door to him wearing a black t shirt with dark blue jeans, and wearing jordans. "Well, I was thinking about asking him today if it's official or.. something." He says shaking his hair. "Well tell me on the way to school. We're already 30 minutes late." I say walking out of the house. Robin follows behind me, "Okay so I was thinking about making him this HUGE poster asking him to be my boyfriend!" He says jumping up and down. "Really? Your doing it that way?" I hop on my bike. Robin hops on behind of me. Good thing it's a 2 seater bike or else Robin would be walking home. Not to mention our house is sorta far. "Yeah! So will you help me make it?" Robin says taking a poptart out of his pocket. "Since we do have art class today." He says talking with a full mouth. "Sure, and close your mouth it's disgusting." I start peddling the bike. I always thought Robin would be heavy, but hes not. He's actually the weigh of a feather. As im peddling, I notice my chest starts hurting a little bit more. I suck it up because I don't need fucking Robin being an investigator. As im peddling, I realize something. "Wait Robin. I have a question." Robin then rises his head up. "Whats up V?" He says dropping his wrapper on the ground and I zoom right past it. "Did you take your adhd pills today? I didn't see you taking it" Robin turns silent for a little bit. he sighs. "Oh my god! I totally forgot." I can tell when Robin is lying. He's a terrible liar, unlike Finney. I literally cannot tell when Finney is lying and it's so fucking scary. "I can tell when your lying Robin." We was getting semi close by the school, just around the corner. Robin sighs. "I hate taking those pills. They're basically telling me, hey! You have problems so you have to fix it by taking fucking gigantic pills" He says pouting. He then rests his head on my back as I finish peddle to school. After a couple minutes later, we made it outside of the school. And we made it 5 minutes before the gate closes. "I'll race you to class V!" Robin says tying his shoes getting ready to run. "Robin, im not gonna fucking race yo-" Robin starts running full speed into the building and I have no other choice but to run behind him. I finally catch up to Robin but that's when my chest starts hurting again so I have to slow down a bit. Me and Robin has the same schedule, same classes and everything. Me and Robin makes it to the class and we both try to open the door first but ends up falling in face first. I could tell that everyone was staring at us. "Goodmorning the two troublemakers. Have a seat." The teacher says. I can tell she was annoyed and I don't blame her to be honest. Robin reaches out to my hand so I grab it and we walk to our seats. Robin mumbles a curse word in spanish under his breath but nobody in class knows spanish that much but me. After a couple minutes into the lesson, I look over to Robin to see him writing on the desk. The teachers has been trying to find who's been writing on these desks and will go bonkers if she sees that Robin is the one. I take out a piece of paper from out of my bookbag crumbling it up and writing on it. Stop dude shes going to see you. I toss the paper at Robin hitting him in the eye. "Fuck." He curses underneath his breath. He looks at the paper then smirks at it. He leaves the paper on the table and continues drawing on the table. sigh. He's gonna get himself in trouble. I think to myself. But, the bell rings before the teacher can even spit Robin. The kids scatter out of the class leaving me and Robin the last ones to leave. Me and Robin was about to leave class too but the teacher told me to stay for a second. "I'll meet you in math V." Robin says patting my shoulder. He then heads out the door leaving just me and the teacher in there. "So Vance, there's been some rumors about this situation that happened between you and your dad." The teacher says taking off her glasses. My heart sunk a bit. "w- what situation." I couldnt let this random teacher know what my father did to me. But it happened 2 years ago so it doesn't matter to me. If I can brush it off so can other people. "I think you know what situation im talking about Vance. And I just want you to know that we have a counselor here that can-" No thanks. I leave the classroom leaving the teacher all alone. How does she know. And who told her and who knows about this shit. Thinking about this makes my head hurt so I decide to go to the bathroom. The bathroom was somewhat empty so I decide to put some cold water on my face. "Thanks for ruining my day." I mumble. A couple of kids then walks in talking loud. They sounded so fucking annoying so I decide to leave the bathroom heading to math. Math was the most annoying subject. Whoever created math deserves death. As I walk to math, I notice some commotion in there. I open the door to see Robin on top of moose beating the shit outta him. I guess Robin could sense that I had entered the classroom so he stops and gets up. Teachers start rushing in breaking them apart. Robin starts cursing at them all in spanish. I couldn't understood half of what he was saying but I can understand some of it. Some shit about moose being an asshole and how he doesn't deserve help. I look down to see moose. His nose looks fucked up and his has 2 black eyes. Moose looks up to me and looks furious. The fuck did I do. I tilt my head and smirks at him to make him even more angry. Teachers shove me out the way picking up moose taking him to the nurses office. I was about to sit down in class until O realized something.

                I have to check up on Robin.
