Tyler
"Come on bro wake up", I heard. I opened my eyes and saw my brother Sky, Skyler, sitting on my bed. "I'm up", I replied. "Good. We have school", he said. I frowned. "I'm not kidding", he replied. I sighed and sat up.

"I'll be down later", I said. "Hurry", he said and left. Skyler was in his last year of highschool while I was in my first. We are only 3 years apart. Skyler was buff and had a ton of muscles. I, on the other hand, am a scrawny, skinny little boy who loves pastel colors.

I got up and put on a pastel purple shirt, pastel blue pants and put on a white and pastel pink flower crown. I grabbed my pastel yellow bookbag and walked down stairs to the kitchen.

"Hey pastel buddy", my friend, Emma said. She always came over in the morning and eat breakfast with us. She was practically family. After we would walk to school or have Sky drive us.

"Pancakes!", my mom said and set a plate full of them on the table. I grabbed one and put in on my plate. "So, Emma, how you like school so far?", Sky asked. Emma just moved in 3 months ago. "It's fun! Tyler keeps me company", she replied.

"That's good. All A's?", he asked both of us. "Yep!", we replied. "Oh, before I forget!", I said. I sighed through my backpack and found them. "One for all of us", I said. I gave Emma, Skyler and my mom a flower crown.

"Happy anniversary", I said. Today was the first day Emma came over to have breakfast with us when she moved in. "Aww, thanks, Ty. I'll wear it all day!", Emma said.

We finished our pancakes and headed out. "Bye, mom! Love you!", I yelled back inside as the door closed. "Love you too!", I heard and the door closed.

"Off we go!", Emma said. Emma took my hand and we walked down the sidewalk to school. Now I didn't mind this because I am gay. Hens the pastel. But I liked pastel before that too. Emma, my mom, and Skyler knew and were ok with it.

My dad left is because of me. He said I shouldn't like guys and said he couldn't live in the same house as me so he left. He also left because he didn't like the pastel colors on every wall when my repainted the house.

"So, you ready for another day at school?", Emma asked. "Not really. I was hoping I could stay in my warm bed all day", I said. "Poor Tyler", she said and we laughed. We got up to the school walked in.

I could already hear people saying things about the pastel and flower crown. Emma let go of my had as we got to my locker. We got our things and turned to each other.

"Alright, I heard Mr. Morgan is giving a project out and picking partners so let's hope we work together. Lunch we will meet up with Sky and go out to Wendy's. Then at gym, I heard we will be having a free day so we will walk the track. Got it?", Emma asked. I nodded my head yes.

"Alright, see you then!", Emma said and walked off. She had music for 1st while I had art. Art is my favorite! Nothing could ruin art.

"Fag!", I heard someone yell. "Pastel princess!", another yelled. I rolled my eyes and walked into art. I took my seat in the back and took out my sketch book.

I started to draw a boy with a flower crown and realized how much it looked like me. I laughed to myself and keep drawing.

Later

I walked into Social Studies and saw Emma in the back. I walked over and sat next to her. "Hi!", she said. "Hi", I replied. "Hey, so I heard Alex is back", she said. "Bad boy Alex?", I asked. She nodded.

"Alright, class. I'll be giving out a project for you to work on for the next 2 weeks. I'll be picking your parents", Mr. Morgan said. Alex walked in and smiled, toothpick in mouth.

"Ah, Alex. You have to join us once again", Mr. Morgan said. "You know it!", Alex said and sat down next to me. There were 2 other seats and he picks the one next to me. Great!

"Alright! Your partners are! Emma and Katie, Alex and Tyler..." Mr. Morgan went on. Me and Alex? Bad boy Alex? The fuck was he thinking!!!

Mr. Morgan finally finished. "Sit with your parents!", he said. Emma smiled and left. I turned to my right and looked at Alex.

"I can't believe I'm stuck with you", we both said disgusted. "Alright! You will pick something that we have learned about and make a poster to present it on", Mr. Morgan said.

We looked at each other and rolled our eyes and looked back at the front. Why did I have to have Alex. Not only is he hot, he's a total douche! This is going to be the worst 2 weeks of my life!

Lunch!

Me and Emma walked out of Science and to the parking lot. We found Sky's car and walked over. "Get it losers! We're going to go eat!", Skyler said. Me and Emma laughed and got in. I was in the front and Emma took back.

"To Wendy's we go!", Emma said. "So how is school going so far for y'all?", Skyler asked. "Bad", I replied. "Why?", Sky asked keeping his eyes on the road.

"I got paired with Alex for a social studies project. 2 weeks with the guy!", I yelled. "Bad boy Alex. Yeah have fun with that", Skyler said.

I heard Emma laugh in the back. She didn't have her phone out so she laughing at me. "It's not because he's hot either!", I yelled at her. She laughed even more. "Well, I mean, he is but...", I trailed off.

"Whoa! Does my bro like a bad boy?", Sky asked. "No! Shut up!", I yelled, face going red. Skyler stopped in front of Wendy's and we went inside and got our food.

Gym!

Me and Emma were walking the track and talking. And she had to bring up Alex.

"You think he's hit don't you!", she said. "Yes, but that's won't get in the way of the project", I said. "Sure it won't", she replied. "Shut up!", I yelled. Emma laughed and smiled.

"You know you can tell him if you want. He won't mind. He knows he's hot!", Emma said. "Shut up would you", I said.

Emma laughed again. "Just saying!", she said. The coach blew the whistle and we ran inside. I ran into someone and fell to the ground.

"Oh I'm sorry", they said. I rubbed my head. "It's ok. I'm fine", I replied. They put their hand out and I grabbed it and they helped me up. I looked at the person and it was Alex.

"Ahh!", we yelled. "We have gym together!", I yelled. "I guess!", be yelled back. "We have a project. My house", I said. He nodded and I walked away to Emma.

She was smiling. "You saw that didn't you", I asked. She nodded. I sighed and we walked out of gym. It was our last class so we walked out to the parking lot to Skyler's car.

"Sup!", Skyler said. "I'm having Alex over", I replied. "What!", Emma and Skyler yelled. Emma happier. "Yeah", I replied. "Alright! We are going to bad boy proof the house!", Skyler yelled and drove home. Man, he's overprotective!
