The Prism Club

What....Is. This. Place?

So  as you know I've been here for 3 months, hating everyday, the bullying is slowly stopping, people are getting use to me. I talk a little bit more in class, and in group discussions. The teachers are showing their "real sides" meaning how they really act. They are getting more strict, pushing us to be great. and keep our grades up. I'm even getting a more low tolerant patient to everyone. I went off on a teacher got sent to the principals and had a detention for a week.

One day after school I usually grab my skateboard and hurry out of there because it's hell but, today was different. It was a Friday everyone was flooding out of their 10th period class, talking about stupid stuff and gossiping when two kids with different colored haired ran pass me talking about how some meeting was going to be great today. I thought there was no one in the school except the security guards when I hear laughing and talking in the cafeteria. 'What is going on?' I think to myself  and look in, about 20 people are in there. All of them looked like kids from different "groups" in school.  The adult turned towards me, looking me up and down. The kids stopped talking and faced me too. I feel so awkward right now.

"Hello." the adult says with a grin.

"Uhmmm Hi." I say awkwardly.

"I'm Mrs. Rohloff, come on and join us." She says.

I am looking around at all the students, they are all different and completely themselves, with wacky colorful hair, cool outfits, unique style, and friendly faces, my mouth hangs open, my eyes wide. "What.. is place?" I ask.

"This is..." The teacher says.

"The Prism Club!" All of them yell out then smile.

I walk in and drop my backpack, seeing girls holding girls hands, boys holding boys hands, girl and boy couples cuddling with each other. 'I think I'm going to like it here' I think then smile.

"This is Rosewood High's only LGBT/Alliance club, we talk about coming out stories, discuss problems in LGBT community, tell about LGBT stories in the news, talk about problems with the family, we talk about difficulties you are having, we go on field trips, play games, and work on solving problems in different situations and most of all we welcome everyone to this place., even you." Mrs. Rohloff says and points to me.

"Cool, I guess I could stay for a while." I say with a smile and sit down in the circle.
