TW:smoking, fowl language,homophobia
Always Arsticus pov unless said otherwise:
*Exhale* Watching tree's and car's go by as I'm being driven to a so called "Boys Home" I don't even see why this Is necessary but my "Mother" sure as hell does.
Flashback start:
"Pack up you're shit I'm tired of repeating myself over and over again you never listen to me so I'm taking you somewhere you will listen."Quaris (Mother's name) said, my face staying blank as I pack up my clothes,sheets and other necessities. honestly I didn't even care as this happened before, I was sent to live with my aunt because the school caught me burning teacher's books. That didn't last long as my aunt sent me Right back to my mother saying I was to "sadistic"and "I was a devil's spawn."
But it's obvious she was just disgusted that I was gay.
Flashback end:
While my mom drives me to this "Boys home" I text my friend HuWong:
🖤Hu💜

Sent 8:56am:
'Quaris is taking me to a boys home'
'Plans this week have to be cancelled'

'But we we're suppose to go today camping'
'you can't just bail now'

'Im not bailing did you read what I said'
'Im going to a home, I'll just text you when I get there alr?'
🖤Hu💜
Sent 9:06am
'Alright man, just be safe'
"We're here" Quaris said blankly her face glaring into my soul. Her eyes full of disgust and anger.
As I look up I notice a seemingly big house, the garden had a fountain in the middle and the fence we're made out of trimmed rose bushes.
"Dramatic much?" I scoffed"
Upon opening the car door I noticed a tall masculine figure walking towards us, I squint my eyes to get a better look and noticed his dark blue Hair, light blue eyes, and black fingernails,he was slightly pale and almost my type,I smirked but turned away and went to unload my bags from the trunk.
"Need any help there?" The man asked his eyebrow slightly raising, "no" I said blankly, "I just need to know where my room is" I stated I hated talking to people, he looked at me a little while longer before smirking "names Marcus" he said before turning and walking to my "mother."
10 minutes later:
"Bye sweetie I'll see you soon, love you." It was obvious that she didn't mean a single thing she said, "bye mom, I'll miss you" and it was obvious I didn't mean a single thing I said.
After that, the man named Marcus told me to follow him inside, whilst walking I pulled out a cigar and lit it. Marcus visible frowned and told me "cigarettes aren't allowed" he then took the cigarette out of my hand and stepped on it.
I was about to pull out another before my phone rung, '🖤Hu💜 is calling' I declined as we we're at the door but told them I'd call them later. As we entered the building I noticed a large L shaped couch, two loveseats and four bean bags surrounding the area and a large black screen tv on the wall.
After looking at the living room area I noticed the kitchen, in the kitchen there was a large dining table, multiple chair's and an island Infront of the kitchen.
I noticed two men in the kitchen, "there cooking breakfast" I ignored the words of Marcus as I continued looking at my surroundings, I then noticed three other boys on the couch that I didn't see earlier. After that I asked Marcus where my room was. "Vortix come show Arsticus where his room will be please" he said, his face smiling as he sees the energetic boy run out of the living room.
The boy then stopped Infront of us and I noticed his light red hair, hazel eyes, and tanned skin, he was shorter than Marcus but also taller than me, suddenly he grabbed on of my bags and told me to follow him to my new room. I did as he said and walked up the stairs, noticing the giant painting on the wall, showing Marcus, vortix and who I can assume are the other boys living here.
Vortix stopped at a door third in the hallway. "This will be you're room, it's 9:36am and breakfast is at 10:00am so make sure you're downstairs on time" he said grinning widely, it looked like he could jump on me at any moment, and I gotta admit his presence was nice. "I'll try to be down on time" I said giving a fake smile to the boy. "Okay can't wait to see you then" still grinning he ran downstairs and I was left alone.
I opened my new room door and saw a decently sized room, it had a closet, a door in the corner which I guessed was the bathroom and a queen bed in the middle. I dragged my luggage in the room and started to unpack, quickly grabbing my phone to text HuWong I made it.
Grabbing my headphones out of my bag I plugged them in and started playing music, no point in decorating if there's no music to give you motivation.
I started to take out some decorations to give the plain room some life, of course I could've just bought new ones but why go through the trouble when you can use ones you already have,I plugged l.e.d light around the ceiling and put up posters of the forest.
I took out cotton and placed it all on the ceiling to give the l.e.d lights a storm cloud look I then turned the led lights grey and started taking out fairy lights, hanging them from on side of the room to another. I then took out my stuffed animals and put them on the bed, took out some pillows and grabbed my bad of clothes.
Putting my clothes in the closet,I grabbed my laptop and tossed it on the bed, grabbing my phone I noticed the time and it was 10:43am, 'guess nobody came to tell me.' I grabbed some black sweatpants and a black crop top to take a shower.
The bathroom was plain, I set my towel and clothes down and got in the shower, checking the time it was 11:00am. I got dressed after my shower and made my way downstairs.
the only people I saw were vortix and another guy who had blonde hair, brown eyes, peach skin, and a normal body, they both turned around and vortix was the first to greet me "yo, Arsticus this is Harris he's one of the twins here. His brother is upstairs right now, and by the way where were you earlier. Marcus came up to get you but her said you never answered? He said, his head slightly tilting mid sentence 'cute' I thought. "Hey, names Arsticus as vortix already said nice to meet you" I said putting my hand out
"Names Harris, nice you meet you as well." He said his cheeks slightly turning red as he turned away shaking my hand
"Now back to what I was saying, where we're you during breakfast Marcus was really disappointed you ignored his knocking" Vortix said crossing his arms whilst staring at me
"I was decorating my room to make it feel less... Plain. I also had my headphones in so I couldn't hear anything, I apologize" not really caring that I missed breakfast, talking to a lot of people wasn't my thing anyways.
"You gotta tell that to Marcus he's really strict about the rules, but then again I'm guessing he never told you them either" vortix said while turning back around to finish washing the dishes
"Cya in a minute I'll go talk to Marcus, oh by the way where's his room?" I asked hoping to go to my room after all this is done.
"His room is the last door up the stairs" Harris said, slightly smiling while he waved.
Walking back up the stairs I sighed, already wanting to lay down and watch Netflix on my laptop.
As I stop Infront of the last door Infront of the hallway I pull up my hand and knock.
Word's 1,407 the first chapter is slightly boring ik but I plan on making it more fun to read next chapter :)
