Winter was over, we were back in school. I basically didn't sleep at my own place anymore. I slept in Sal's almost every night. My dad's drinking problem got worse, so I didn't want to be around him. We only had a couple weeks of school under spring break. This year seemed to be going to fast. Maple was pregnant for 6 months now which is crazy to think. Her little baby would be here in 3 months. School was difficult for me at the moment. I wasn't sure why. I was just struggling. Sal noticed this and tried to help me out but I was hopeless. Me and Sal also hadn't done anything sexual since Christmas Day and it was now the end of February. He hadn't asked me out either. I let that go through I decided to just let him chose when the time is right.

There was 2 days left until spring break. I was so excited even if it is just for a week. It means there's only a month until we are done high school for good. No more Travis. No more maths. Its absolutely great. I was telling Sal how excited I was but then he told me the news. "Yeah, I'm going to be moving out." He said. "What?" I said looking up speedily. "Yeah, I'm going to move in with Todd and Neil, Neil has a house already." Sal explained. "Where's the house?" I asked worried. "It's just like a 5 minute walk, chill you're not going to lose me, plus I'm not going to college." He said laughing. "Yeah me neither." I chuckled. "And you're not staying in these apartments either." He said quietly. "What do you mean?" I asked. "Well, I asked Neil and Todd if you could come with me, and live with us." Sal said, looking anywhere but me. "And? What did they say?" I asked curiously. "They said absolutely." Sal said tackling me into his bed. We were fake fighting and throwing each other around. I could live with this guy. Forever.

Spring break had started! Me and the gang spent the whole thing...doing...absolutely nothing. They were all so boring. Ash didn't even come out once, her parents had gone off for the break and left her to babysit her little brother, Ben. Todd and Neil went on a cute gay getaway. Larry was grounded. So all I did was hang out at Sal's, which wasn't new I did it everyday. We found out we were moving into Neil's place the first week of summer which was so exciting. It was all I could think about. I texted Neil thanking him and he said he should be thanking me and that I'd light up his home. Which nearly made me cry. I love gay people.

And like that. We were back in school for a whole month before summer. Travis gave me a hard time around this period. He treated me like shit, he stuck things on my back. Just to be a dick. Sal even punched him one day. He was so cool. I held everything together until one week before summer.

Travis had taken a picture of me eating and printed it out. It edited to make it look like I was really fat and he stuck them on everybody's lockers. When I seen it I broke down. Running to the bathroom. I sobbed into my hands. Why is he doing this to me. I opened my bag, taking out a razor I had hidden. I pulled up my sleeve. And made a gash across my arm. It was just one thick and long one. It bled like crazy for about 20 minutes which made me feel dizzy but I had to get to chemistry now. I had that with Sal. I hope he doesn't find out.
I walked into chemistry, my eyes were puffy from crying. I walked to my seat beside Sal. "Hey you okay?" He said concerned. "Yeah. I'm fine." I lied. "I took down all those stupid posters by the way." He said rubbing my back. "Thanks." I whispered. I could feel something wet dripping down my hand. I could've sworn it wasn't bleeding anymore. I look down and there was a small puddle of blood underneath my hand, on the floor. I wiped it away with my shoe. But more drops kept falling. Sal could see me looking at the floor and looked down as well. He seen the blood spatters. "What is that from?" He said sternly. "Nothing." I said quietly. "Did you hurt yourself because of Travis?" He said seriously. He grabbed my arm and looked down my sleeve. He winced at the sight. "I'll be back." He said standing up. He walked over to Travis' desk. I couldn't hear what he was saying. But I could see how mad he was, he slammed his hands down on his desk. He had some blood on his hand from my arm and he appeared to be showing Travis. Travis say there shocked. He looked over at me and I looked away. Sal came back over. "He won't be bothering you anymore." Sal said firmly. I just nodded. He brought me to the nurse to get a bandage, he bandaged it though.
He was right Travis didn't even look at me after that day. The rest of the week before summer went great.

We were running out of school throwing our graduation hats. "We are done, we never have to go back!" Larry yelled, basically dancing around in his gown. I was probably just as excited but I couldn't wait for 3 days away. The day we move in together me and Sal. I was so excited. "It's also 3 days until me and Sal officially live together." I said looking a Sal. "Love birds. Its a month until I move to Art school.. for years." Ash said, fake fainting, she wasn't lying though, she was leaving for years, that made me feel upset. I hate change.

But anyway, no negativity. Summer is a go!
