POLARIZE (Phan)

homophobia.

Before we start I want to let you know a few things. For one thing their will be some smut in this book, that will not be happening any time soon but I just wanted to tell you. I will have smut warnings before anything to serious happens. Another thing is that a lot of people may find this a bit offensive. In this story their will be some anti-religious things. I want you to know that I do NOT think any of those things myself, I just need them for the plot. And lastly their may or may not be a touch of self harm in this Story and I will put trigger warnings with a slight description of what will be happening. I do not want any of you to be upset by anyone/ anything in this story. Have fun and be safe reading this please.

(Phil's POV)

It's the last day of summer vacation and I don't think I could be more terrified. I'm not ready to go back to school, of course I'm happy to see my friends but, could we not just text or meet at some coffee shop? I have all I need in my room to last me a lifetime, food, water, shelter and wifi.

I can't help but feel slightly excited for this though, my parents giving me money for lunch every day while I pack myself a lunch and use the money to buy things. One of the things I love most about school is drama class, we can just talk and play around, our teacher lets us eat food in their as well. in drama class I managed to make some friends, Louise and Cat. I usually pair up with them whenever we do group projects.

It got dark, I closed my laptop and put my phone on the charger. I wanted the next day to be the best day ever.

(time skip: next morning)

My alarm woke me up, I blindly reached over to my bedside table to silence my alarm. my eyes fluttered open and I put my glasses on. This was going to be the best day ever, and I was going to make sure of it. I stumbled out of bed, made my way to the bathroom, showered, used the toilet, and brushed my teeth. after getting all dressed my mother drove me to school. The drive was quiet, mostly because I was on my phone the entire time.

I got out of the car and walked towards the front door before I heard a high pitch scream calling my name "Phil!" Louise yelled, running towards me. I opened my arms and she hugged me. She pulled out of the hug "I've missed you!" she said. "I missed you too." I replied. "Well come on, no need to be late to first period." she said, grabbing my hand and pulling me along, I let out a small giggle as we skipped into the school together. "You dyed your hair!" I said staring at her head. her hair had been already dyed blonde, but now she has made the tips of her hair pink. "Well, it took you long enough to notice." She stopped by some picnic tables, outside. "Do you like it?" She asked with a smile on her face. "Of course! I love it" I said excitedly.

"Yippie! I can't wait to braid it, oh it'll be so much fun!" A mocking voice said behind me. I turned to see who it was, of course it was one of the emo kids picking on me again. I rolled my eyes, "Why don't you just go back to the corner and listen to My Chemical Romance, your friends are waiting for you." I said looking over at his M.C.R. Black Parade shirt. I internationally rolled my eyes. "Nah, I'm good here..." he said, glaring at me. I was happy to return the favor. "Just leave us alone." Louise said quietly. "Oh, wow! I feel so unwanted." The emo boy said dramatically throwing his hand over his heart. "Just go!" I yelled at him. "Make me!" he challenged.

That was when another emo boy walked up to us, I got scared, but i had no intention of letting them know that. "Char, leave them alone." he said putting a hand on 'Char's' shoulder. obviously I thought 'Char' was weird name but I wasn't planning on saying anything until Louise started giggling. "What's so funny?"  Char asked, his voice deep and interrogating "Nothing, it's just... Char?" she started giggling again. I glared at her and she immediately stopped. "It's short for Charlie" the other boy said.  "Great Dan, now the geek-azoids know my name!" Charlie said sarcastically. "let's go." Dan said. they both walked away. I waited until they were out of sight before i turned to look at Louise, fright was clear on her face. "you're a geek-azoid, I'm just a geek-azoid's friend." she said smiling at me. "I know." I said, rolling my eyes. She giggled and we started walking off to get our schedules from the auditorium.
