Growing Up With Gay Parents

Ch. 12

  Josh sat down in the desk next to me and I turned a little so that I could rest my legs on his lap. He didn't even seem fazed by it at all as he continued to scroll through Instagram.

"You dad just posted a picture." He said with a laugh.

"Which one?" I asked him.

"Disgusting fags." Jason muttered from behind us.

"Well gee thanks. That sure does narrow down which dad it could be, you know, considering they're both 'disgusting fags'." I said sarcastically.

"Luke." I pulled my phone out and went to Instagram, scrolling through until I found it.

[Picture] Jesus we were a bunch of hot motherfuckers

I laughed at the picture and the caption. I decided to comment on it.

Ryan.D.Hemmings: Hot damn Uncle Cal!!

CalumHood: I was fucking sexy

Joshua_Washington: Apparently Ash was too??

AshtonIrwin: Can it Washington

Ryan.D.Hemmings: Now you're all old and fat

Luke_is_a_penguin: You're both grounded

Joshua_Washington: You're not my dad

MichaelClifford: Damn son, might as well be, you never leave our house

I put my phone away right as Principal Franklin walked in the room and Josh did the same. He looked over at us and rolled his eyes before clearing his throat. Everyone looked up at him and he smiled.

"So as you know, Mr. Keller has retired. Mr. Xavier will be your new, permanent, teacher." A walked in the room and I looked over at Josh.

"Who is that and why is he making me sweat?" I asked quietly. Josh burst out laughing and everyone looked in our general direction, knowing that I was probably the cause of his laughter.

"What's so funny Mr. Washington?" Franklin asked him.

"I made a funny." I said, making Josh laugh harder and the rest of the class join him.

"Mr. Hemmings." Franklin said, pinching the bridge of his nose as he walked out.

"Wait. Hemmings. Like, as in Luke Hemmings?" Mr. Xavier asked.

"He's my dad, well, one of them." I sighed with an eye roll. "Why?"

"I loved, will still love, his band." He said.

"Ew. Gross. Why?" I asked him, making the class laugh again. He laughed as well and shrugged his shoulders.

"I really liked Calum. I wanted to be a bass player and I looked up to him." He said. "Found him rather attractive as well."

"I'm sorry, but you need to bring your standards up." I said, making him and everyone else laugh some more.

"You're quite the character Mr. Hemmings." He said, taking a seat in his desk. "I don't have many rules, I don't really care what you do in here, this class is a pass or fail anyways so-." My phone started ringing and I jumped, blushing when everyone turned to look at me. "Do you need to answer that?"

"Umm." I said, pulling it out of my pocket. I groaned and smiled innocently at him before doing so. "What do you want?"

"Is that anyway to talk to the man who is about to by you a $89,000 1967 Chevy Impala for your birthday? I already think I'm spending too much money, I don't have to buy it." Luke said. "Wait, are you in class?"

"Did he just say 1967 Impala?" Josh asked. I nodded my head.

"Yes but it doesn't matter." I told Luke. My eyes then widened. "Woah woah woah! Wait a second! Are you serious?!"

"Lol no."

"I hate you. Wait. Hold on. So I have a new home room teacher and he likes your band." I said. Mr. Xavier's eyes widened and he sat forward, smiling a little.

"Tell him thanks. Anyways-"

"He also thinks Cal is hot." I said.

"What? Ew. Why?" Luke asked. I could just tell that he had a grossed out look on his face.

"I don't know." I said. Josh then grabbed the phone out of my hand and I started to protest but he put a finger up.

"Hey Luke. So I was wondering if you could maybe bring me some Maccas?" Josh asked, making everyone laugh again. "Oh my god thank you! I love you so much." He pulled the phone away with a scowl on his face and looked at me. "He hung up on me!"
