Dysfunctional

Chapter 2

Lance got up the same way he did yesterday, his phone vibrated. It was Dean, like usual. Lance got up and saw the blood stain on his bed, and the stinging pain came back through his upper arm. He cursed under his breath as he got his phone. Dean had texted him, "Hey Lance, It's time I told you... I'm---"
Lance's phone died, and he ran to the outlet. He tripped and his phone flew and hit the wall. Pieces of the phone scattered across the floor. Lance ran into the kitchen and went through his paperwork. He found the insurance for his phone. Lance quickly swept up the phone pieces. He put them into a bag and got his backpack and put them in. He rushed to get dressed and didn't get to comb his hair. Lance looked out the window and the bus had just drove by. He ran out screaming and the bus had stopped. He saw a tan person with black hair running toward him. Dean stopped the bus for him. Lance shouted to Dean, "Thank you Dean! You can go back into the bus I'll be there in a sec!"
Dean went back into the bus, and Lance ran into the bus and thanked the bus driver. He went to the back and sat next to Dean, "Thank you so much!"
Dean looked down and the edge of his ears were red, "So did you see the text I sent?"
Lance pulled the bag of the rubble of his phone, "Sorry I couldn't this happened, but I'm getting a new phone today. Anyway do you want to tell me here?"
Dean looked back to him, "Oh no it's not that important... I'll tell you later... But anyway what's with you hair?"
Lance didn't realize what his hair looked like. Dean fixed his hair. Lance shook his head so his hair looked a bit messy. The bus got to school and they seperated. Lance went to go get his Calculus from his locker. Atro was still getting stuff from her locker. He walked up to her, "Hey Atro!"
She turned toward him, "Um sorry but who are you?"
Lance grabbed his stuff from his locker, "Oh I'm Lance... We met yesterday..."
Atro closed her locker, "Sorry Lance, I have a bad memory for names."
She walked off and Lance walked to his class. He had math classes until lunch which he just had to help the others in his class. At lunch they just ate and talked about the cat they found. Fiora didn't really talk though. Andrea wasn't really listening, she was organizing the pack of Starburst she got. Atro didn't sit by them this time she was sitting by another set of people. After lunch Dean and Lance went to gym. They were the only boys in the class though. They both walk into the guys locker room. Lance burst out, "Ugh it smells like BO and Axe had a child."
Dean started to laugh and he took off his shirt and went to his locker. Lance went to his locker and put a shirt over the shirt he was wearing. He took of the shirt he was wearing underneath while still have his over shirt on. Dean just looked at Lance and asked, "Why do you do that? It's just us..."
Lance changed into gym shorts, "Well sorry I don't usually-"
Dean cut him off, "What's that on your side?! Did you get a tattoo?!"
Lance quickly pulled his shirt down quickly and his sleeves went up a bit, "No I was drawing and the the marker exploded."
Dean started to look at Lance's upper arm, "Whoa Dude what happened there?"
Lance pulled down his sleeves and made up a total lie, "Yesterday, the cat got me, but high pain tolerance and you know."
Dean stared at Lance, "You know I can tell when you lie, but when you get your new phone we have to talk."
Dean walked over and put his arm around Lance and they walked out.
The rest of the class made the two play volleyball. After gym class they went to social studies. On two days of the week they get to be in most of the same classes. After school is done everyone seperated, but Lance and Fiora go down to the phone supplier. She had phone problems too. Her phone wouldn't start. Lance got an upgrade on his phone which was just one series up, and Fiora got a new battery. Both split up and Fiora went back to her house. Her parents didn't even know she got home. They were paying to much attention to her genius sister, Robyn. Fiora just went to her bedroom and worked on homework. Soon after she finished, Fiora was called to dinner. Her mom had her plate and everything set up. Their family was very religious and prayed at every single moment together they could. After dinner was done Fiora and her mom were cleaning up dishes. Her mother asked curiously, "So Fiora, how have you and Dean been?"
Fiora calmly said, "Mom, we aren't together... He doesn't even like me."
Her phone vibrated in her back pocket. She checked it and it was Dean. Her mom dismissed her and she went to her room. Dean texted, "Hey Fiora, can I get ur opinion on something?"
Fiora texted back, "Hey Dean, and sure wht do u want my opinion on?"
Dean replied, "Sorry but it's a bit awkward, but what do you think about homo's?"
She stared at the text and then replied, "I think that they are fine. God wants everyone to be happy and I know you are an Atheist but I'm just saying by my beliefs."
Dean took a long time to reply. In a bit the text popped up, "Ok it's time I told you... I'm well... gay... I figured this out last year when I started to like Lance. If you could can you not tell anybody... I'd rather tell them myself..."
Fiora felt like a few heartstrings snapped. She had always liked Dean, but know that was crushed. Tears brimmed at the edge of her eyes she slowly texted back, "That's great that you told me. I'm glad you consider me a good enough of a friend to tell, and my lips are sealed."
Dean responded, "It feels good to get that off my chest. Thanks for sticking with me all these years. Anyway I have to go to sleep so goodnight and thank you."
Fiora replied goodnight back than dropped her phone on the ground. She just lays in her bed crying into her pillow. Later she fell asleep.

Andrea and Brin left school with Atro. They went to a movie. The only new movie was a horror movie. Brin wasn't informed that it was a horror movie though. They bought their tickets and got some snacks. Andrea had already color-coded everyone's candy into different bags. Atro and Brin went and found a spot straight in the middle. They were the only ones in there. The movie finally came on and Brin started to cry and scream. She later fainted and the other two let her sleep. Later all the candy spilled on the floor and Andrea had to organize it and then throw it away.
After the movie, all three of them went home. Atro had been slowly wandering around for awhile and eventually made it home. Andrea and Brin walked home and they past the flickering lamp post. They got home and then started to do homework. Their room was very organized thanks to Andrea. After all their homework is done they layed down and fell asleep.
