The New Kid

Chapter 26

 

I would just like to thank you guys for all of the voting and commenting! It really means a lot! I hope I can continue to please you all!

Eren stopped in his tracks and his eyes went wide. Marco stopped around a foot ahead of him and looked back.

"S... Sister? How? i've known her for years and she's the only child."

"We're not blood.... I'm adopted. Her dad adopted me with his boyfriend." Marco explained. Eren was getting really confused. None of this was making sense. "What are you talking about? Petra has both her parents."

Marco shook his head. "The guy her moms with now is her step-dad. Her real dad left her mom for a guy when she was 3. That's why she's like this. It's why she doesn't like gay people." Marco explained.

"But.... That's not fair." Eren stated. "I know it's not. I'm just telling you why she's like this. She hates me just because I'm her dads and his boyfriends child." Marco explained. Eren sighed. "OK, thanks for telling me."

Marco nodded. "Yep.."

They continued walking until they had to split up, then they went their own way. When Eren got home, he went inside and quickly to his room. He kicked off his shoes and put on more comfortable home clothes. He then quickly grabbed his phone and called Christa. She answered after a few rings.

"Hello?" She said.

"I found something out about Petra."

"What?"

"She has a brother. And her dad left when she was younger. He left for a guy and that's why she's so hateful." Eren explained.

"Huh... Did not see that coming."

"Yeah, no kidding.... I think we should confront her about this."

"Eh?!" On the other side of the line, Christa's eyes went wide. "You can't be serious! What do you mean?!" She pretty much yelled into the phone receiver.

Eren sighed. "I know it sounds crazy, but something has to be done or she'll keep doing what she's doing. And I don't feel like ending up in the hospital again."

"Yeah, you're right... But you're not going it alone. You're taking Levi and I with you."

"Fine."

-Skip To the Next Morning-

Eren, Levi, and Christa went to school a little bit earlier the next morning and waited inside Levi's car. 'Sure, now he picks me up', Eren had thought silently to himself, still bitter about the day before. He waited for Petra to walk by.

When she did, they got out of the car and the trio walked up to her. "Jessie." Eren said, using Petra's nickname. She stopped walking and slowly turned to face them. Her eyes were cold as she glared darkly at them. "What the hell do you idiots want?" She growled.

"Jessie-" Petra cut Eren off.

"Do NOT call me that! Only my friends can call me that!" She hissed in a sour tone.

"Petra. You don't have to be like this." Christa said. "We know what you're father did, but that is no reason to go around treating us like shit. Not every gay person is like that. Do you think straight people don't cheat and leave?" Christa glared back and crossed her arms.

Petra growled and turned, trying to walk away. "Why do you have to do this?! We have always been there for you! Always honest! So you could drop and betray us like this?!" Eren finally broke down and yelled. Petra didn't respond as she quickly went inside the school. Eren just wanted to scream in frustration.

-Skip School-

"You're going to hang out with Echo again??" Eren crossed his arms as he looked up at Levi, annoyed and mad. "I thought we were going to hang out."

"I'm sorry, but he texted me and asked." Levi frowned. Eren looked away and shook his head. "Whatever, do what you want." He turned to walk away, but Levi wrapped his arm around his shoulder and pulled him back against his chest. "I'll cancel my plans." He said as he held him close. "If it will make you happy, I will do it. I'll even stop talking to him."

Eren sighed, feeling guilty. "No, you don't have to do that... I'm sorry.... You're the total package and I just don't want to lose you...." He admitted, looking down. Levi smiled a little and turned Eren around to face him. "Hey, I'm glad you feel like that. It means you really do love me. But you have nothing to worry about, OK? I'm yours and your only."

Eren blushed and looked down. Levi grabbed his chin and pecked his lips. "You are the only one for me. Here, I'll cancel mine and Echo's plans and we can hang out, OK? We'll make it a movie night, just the two of us." Levi suggested. Eren slowly nodded. "Alright."

Levi grinned and grabbed his hand, leading him towards the exit.
