TW: HOMOPHOBIA, MENTIONS OF SELFHARM

(photo by @WhyyyPng on twt)

Roier woke up to his alarm blaring and trying to wake him up. He reached over and turned off his alarm and grabbed his phone to check his notifications. Roier saw that he had a text from his good friend, Alex, asking if he was coming to school. He has known Alex since they were in preschool and now they are in high school and you can't separate the two.

After Roier got up and dressed he walked downstairs to greet his mom, Eleanor, and sister, Rachel, in the kitchen. Roiers mom noticed him, "Good morning. Could you take your sister to school because I am already late to work." Roier just gave her a nod and she took off out the door and to her car. Roier told his sister that they needed to go so he put her shoes on, then his own, and headed off.

The two have been walking for 10 minutes now and they just arrived at Rachels' school. She looked up at her brother, "Bye bye big brother! I will see yous later." and she walked off inside the school.

Sometime later Roier made it to school and into his first class. "hey dude, you look dead, you ok?" one of his friends, Alex, said. Roier smiled and turned to look at his friend, "I just woke up earlier than i normally would so don't worry too much." Alex gave him a tumbs up and went to say something else but the teacher walked in and shushed the class.

After class Roier and Alex talked and walked to their second class, computer science. They took a seat next to each other and started talking about random things they could think off. When the teacher walked in with another student the class went silent. "Good morning class. We have a new student joining us today." They teacher looked towards this mysterious kid who wore a solid black mask. The kid was silent for a bit before saying, "hello, my name is Cellbit and i transfered here from Brazil." Roier perked up when he heard the new kids', Cellbit, accent. Now that Roier was paying more attention he took the time to look at Cellbit. He has dark brown hair with a streak of white. Roier continued to stare and noticed the mans toned skin and some what muscular body. "Yo dude stop staring." Alex whispered and tapped Roier. Roier turned and looked at his friend with pink cheeks and went back to doing his work.

~Cellbit pov~

I was told to sit behind Roier, which was the only seat available. When I sat down I looked at the boy who was steadily watching me when I was in front of the class. I was looking at the guy and just wondered why he was staring at me like he was.

After class I stood up and walked in front of Roier and smiled, "hello! May I ask what your name is since you know mine?" I asked in a cheerful tone. Roier just looked at me and turned to his friend. Alex laughed and spoke up, "Sorry about him. He is not good with new people. My name is Alex and that's Roier!" Alex gave me a grin then patted his friend on his back. I looked at the person I now know is named Roier and smile, "well it is nice to meet you both! Oh and also. Do you know where this class is?" Alex looked at the paper and nodded, "Roier is in that class but sadly I have Chemistry." Alex frowned and waved bye as he left.

~Roier pov~

I looked up at Cellbit and started to walk to my next clsss, Cellbit tailing behind me. When we got to class everyone was looking at me and laughing. I kept looking down and walked to my seat as Cellbit looks confused and sat next to me. "why are they all laughing at you? are they playing around?" Cellbits' questions went unanswered until a girl walked over to him with a smirk. "Did Roier ever tell you about him being a f slur?" the girl asked with a giggle. I continued to stare down at my desk and try to ignore it all but I couldnt. I could see Cellbits' face change from confused to sour and I was ready for him to start shouting at me. Cellbit looked towards me and then back at the girl, "And? What's wrong with that? Is he bothering you? Or is it because your boyfriend likes Roier and you are insecure?" Some others who heard started to laugh at how the girls' face looked now. Once I heard what Cellbit said, I looked up at him and smiled. Cellbit turned towards me and smiled back.

Shortly after that incident the teacher walked in and the class went on. Cellbit was talking to me even though I didn't really answer, but I was enjoying his company.

After the class we had one more class before lunch. I had this class alone, which I enjoyed a bit. Once I got into the class I sat near the back with my head on the desk. When the teacher walked in she scolded me for sleeping and went on about her lesson.

During lunch, I sat with Alex and another friend named Arin. We started eating after we got our trays. While we were eating Cellbit walked over, "do you mind if I sit with you today? If not its ok" I looked up at the tall figure and nodded while scooting down to make room. Once Cellbit sat down Alex and Arin started to talk with him about where he came from and why.

A few hours later it is time for everyone to head home. I waved by to my friends and started to walk home. Today was different then normal though. Today I did not feel alone while walking like I always did. I took a different way home, which made my trip longer, but when I got home I walked straight up to my room and shut the door. I walked to the bedside table and grabbed a small blade out of it and walked to my en suite bathroom. Once I was inside I shut and locked the door. I took the small blade to my arms and started to move it across my wrist. Blood slowly trickled out of the fresh wounds as I continued.

A few minutes later I stopped and cleaned up the wounds. After I got cleaned up I went downstairs to have dinner and go to bed. When I laid in bed, sleep overtook me easily.
