I am so sorry Tara I wish I would have just come to you. It's okay I guess goodnight Darcy I love you. Goodnight Tara, I love you too.

Summer break is over...

Wake up Charlie wake up you have school you are going to be late. Tori leave me alone I do not want to go to school. Nick is waiting at the door for you to walk you to school. Nick gets up and gets dressed as fast as he can. When I walk downstairs all I see is Nick he is smiling at me. Nick needs to talk and I think I know what this is about this Time. Nick, can we please step into the other room quickly so we can talk? Yeah, I nervously said holding back how nervous I was. Charlie, I am really scared for you and I know you are struggling and I want to understand where your coming from. I know you have not even eaten and I went to help you. Oh Nick I love you and love that you care so much but we can talk later I have to go to school. Charlie always deflects bad things so nobody will realize.

Me and Nick walk together like always. We talk about our days and wait for my friend to show up. Bo omg Tao you scared me what is wrong with you? Nothing dude do you know where Elle is, wow you guys hit it off on your date, didn't you? Maybe it's none of your business. Hey guys Elle shows up looking perfect like always we all walked to class together. Where is Isaac? Who knows he has been acting weird lately. Right, Elle hasn't he Ben super weird Lately? Right idk he has been super weird to me recently.

I am going to text Isaac to see if he is coming and if he is okay. Hey Isaac you okay we haven't talked in a day. Yes okay in just feeling a little under the weather. I was not sick I was sick of not knowing who I liked. Was I gay was I straight I had no idea who I was. I looked on everyday dating website nobody seemed good. I think I am asexual but I am scared to tell everyone.

The bell rang for second period and it is where me and Nick always met. Everyone started at us and gave us weird looks but we did not care. Hey guys Imogen came up being us and gave us a big hug. I am so so happy you guys are publicly together it makes me so happy. Are you okay Nick with being out with everyone, yeah I am great I am so happy. How about you Nick yeah yeah I am so happy that we are out. I was shaking the attention of others and Nick being out was a lot for me but I did not want anyone to know

The bell rings and it was time for lunch my favorite time of the day. It was always me and Elle then me and Tao and Elle and now Nick we had the perfect friend group. I am happy it isn't just me and then anymore I am happy we had a group. The rugby guys came by that table and looked at us. Nick and Charlie your fucking fagots I can't believe we were friends with you. Nick stands up and gets in their face, come to one Nick please do not do anything. The boys walked away fucking gay pussys won't touch me. Don't let them work you up Nick please don't let them get the best of you.

Hey hey, Elle wait up for me I have to ask you something. Would you like to go on a date with me on Friday night to the movies? Tao a redo of last time we tried to movies how about dinner. Fine, we can have it at my house my mom wants to cook. Sounds great I will see you then Tao, and see you then Elle.

Charlie Charlie, please talk to me I am leaving tonmwow. What Ben I thought you weren't going to be here after summer. I already said all I have to say to you please go away. Charlie please I have one more thing to say I love you. I did really like you Ben but you hurt me and that is not a Kind of hurt I could ever forget. Charlie, please don't walk away from me I can't leave on a bad note. Come here Ben says and pulls me close and kissed me. Get off me Ben your so gross I said no please don't ever talk to me again. How am I going to tell Nick about this?

The last Bell rang and everyone came out of the school to catch a bus. I had to find Tori first but when I looked she was not there. Where was Tori Maybe she was in class I am going to go look for her. I looked for her and looked until I came across the library. She was kissing someone she was kissing a girl. I drop my phone out of my pocket and she hears me. Nick, what are you doing on her leave? She pushed herself away from the girl and comes with me to the bus. On the bus, we talk so you like girls Tori, I think that is Sarah she is my girlfriend. I am scared to tell people she is not out yet and is immersed in us.

When I get home Nick is waiting at my doorstep. Stop ignoring me Charlie we need to talk now!!!
