Gotta get those hair extensions in there since it's looking sparse :')

Michael:

I was sat in a toilet cubicle, trying to sob as quietly as I could. The school didn't close until 5pm because of clubs so I was safe here for a while.

I know I should text Luke or Calum because they would be waiting for me but I just couldn't do anything at the minute.

I don't even remember what happened. I was sat in sixth period, and a group of boys from my Biology class were talking about me. I didn't dare turn around.

"He's a bit quiet,"

"Yeah, weird too."
"Saw him sitting with Calum and Luke at lunch,"

"Luke? HA, we see what's coming now then."
"Yeah. Leave him alone with a boy for a minute and they're suddenly gay."

My eyes widened.

"Well... even Luke wouldn't go for him." And then I heard laughter.

I felt their words pierce me, and I knew an anxiety attack was coming but I couldn't be sure if I could make it to the end of the lesson or not.

I looked up at my teacher, who of course knew of my condition like every other staff member and since he was procrastinating he saw me quite quickly, but somehow had not heard the group's conversation about me.

I looked panicked and he looked at me worriedly, mouthing to ask if I was okay. I pulled out my pink card and flashed it to him across the room without anyone seeing and he nodded.

When my mum had a meeting with the school they issued me with a pink card that gets me out of a lesson if I need to, I just need to show it to the teacher so I can discreetly leave.

I grabbed my bag and walked out as quickly as I could. I didn't even know who those boys were but I couldn't be in the same room as them anymore.

I was shaking as I tried to get to the toilets in time. I went inside, locking the door and sliding to the floor. My vision went blurry and I started to cry, trying to forget but somehow could not. The bell for the end of school went but I wasn't ready to leave.

And that's how I got here.

Little did those boys know I was already gay, nobody apart from my mum knew, from this town anyway.

I felt my phone buzz numerous times, ignoring each one as I tried to calm down.

Great Michael, you blew your first chance at making friends. Luke and Calum will be waiting, probably talking about how strange you are.

It was 3:40 when I finally dried my tears and evened out my breathing enough to leave.

I washed my face and walked out the gates to head home, Luke and Calum were nowhere to be found, but then again, why would they wait for me?
