Souls You Can't Save

Welcome to my friendships.

AN/ i felt the need to give background on Celeste's background with all the characters and a lil bit of the character's personal background so....

----------------------------

I stayed home Thursday and spent the day thinking about how solid my other friendships were. There was Nevaeh, and I've known her all through elementary school. She was there through the rough family times, even if she wasn't always my best friend. When we were in third grade, our siblings dated and we planned on ruining their honeymoon in Paris. Real mature, right? 

We've been friends on and off through the years, but through middle school, she was always there for me. I told her everything, and depression and coming out were the absolute worst things I have ever had to tell anyone. 

I don't regret Nevaeh being m best friend. 

She may be the occasional bitch, and totally unhelpful when it comes to housework, but she's good to have around. 

Especially when someone has an idea of what you're going through, it makes it better. 

-------------

Scott. 

He's possibly one of the coolest, most chill people I have ever met. 

I met him in kindergarten, and we had that classic elementary school romance. Eventually, he just became my best friend, and now he's more like a brother than a best friend. 

We drifted apart a little through the years, but last year he was in my homeroom and we were reunited. For that, I am grateful. The only good thing school has done for me. 

He was with me through the depression, even if at first he didn't quite understand. We got even closer this year, and there's only one thing he has ever told me that actually surprised me. 

I've got myself a gay best friend.

I think it's hilarious that I was absolutely obsessed with him K-3rd grade, and now he's the best friend I could ask for and nothing more.  

Nevaeh and I often call our friends the queer musketeers because we're literally like the only gay friendly group in our school. It's sad but true. 

And also because most of us are queer(ish).

Embrace your inner gay. 

--------------

Will. 

I have known Will for exactly 1 1/2 years, and although he's a cheeky little shit, I'm glad he's my friend.

We went through an awkward period last year where he asked me out 24 times in a row, and got rejected 24 times in a row. 

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I dated him, but I'm happy with who I am right now. He's a good friend, and the main reason my sleeping schedule is messed up. Thanks for the late night FaceTimes while I wear giraffe onesies and eat cold burritos. 

--------------

Quinn. 

I don't think I have ever been more confused about a friend in my entire life. Quinn has a crush on me, and has asked me out previously, but has been rejected. 

It's not that I don't want to date him, I just don't know how ready I am for a relationship. 

I would totally date Quinn.

I just want to make sure it's a right choice. 

I'm not sure how much he knows about my past and the recent past, but I want to get to know him better. It's not the best being single in a world where everyone is dating, and I know lots of people can relate, but I just want to make sure I'm emotionally ready to date someone. 

I just hope it happens before I'm a cat lady.

(Too late)

------------

Michael, Josh, and Jonas are my other guy friends, and I'm glad I have them even though they're queer little asswipes. Michael better not break my best friend's heart, and if he does I swear I'm not gonna be the only one after his head. 

Josh is a cool guy, and even if he looks like a little noodle he's actually one of the most muscular, athletic people that I know. 

Jonas, he's a different story.

He is the most queer person I know. We all know he's gay, he just doesn't feel like accepting it. Jade is his best friend, and if he does end up being totally straight we all know there's a 99.99% chance they're going to date. the other 00.01% is that one of them will die first. 

------------

I haven't been friends with Kia or Patrick for a particularly long time, but they're good people. Patrick was the new kid this year, and I'm happy that he found us to fit in with. 

Kia, I wasn't sure about at first because people had always told me bad stuff about her, but once you get to know her, you realize she's a good person to keep around. 

I wouldn't have either of them leave.

---------

I've known Sean and James since kindergarten, but I was never particularly great friends with either of them. My brother had James's mom as a teacher in 1st grade, so I'd always been acquainted with him. 

Sean, I had met early in elementary, and after I got over my crush on Scott, I started liking Sean. I was the editor of a 4th grade newspaper, and Sean was my favorite reporter. 

When I met Max, it was at recorder club in 4th grade. Any kid that went to public school knows the god-forsaken little instrument I'm talking about. Yes, I was that one nerd who was better than everyone in music class. Sadly, when recorder club started, I met Max, and he was better than me at everything. Being the competitive little shit that I was, I "accidentally" slammed him into a locker and dislocated his shoulder.

We do not speak of this incident.
