A Road to a New Life (Phan)

*Alexander*

I'm glad Dad and I fixed up our relationship. That makes me happy. They take me to school now, but drop me off about five minutes away just in case and also I ask them to. I know that since I'm than like six they want to tell everyone about me, but I told them I have to think about it. I'm afraid. I'm afraid of what people will think of me and how many fake friends I will acquirer. I mean I have one kinda friend, Andrew and the rest of the people I hang with are acquaintances. However, today England decided it was going to cry its sad tears and so  Dad and Daddy decided to drop me off right in front of the school, even though I told them it'd be okay if they dropped me off in the normal spot. "Bye Alex. Love you. Have a good day." they both said waving out the back door. I replied, "Bye Dad, Bye Daddy Love you." like I normally do before shutting the door and them driving off. But apparently I caused a scene because all the mean kids from my grade and up approached me. "You have two dads." one questioned. I gulped, "Yeah." "What a loser. Are you a fag to then you fat slut?" an older kid said. I was confused. I just knew the words were bad and made me feel poopy, but I don't know what they mean. I pushed passed them and into the school to go on with my day. Except the big kids wouldn't let that happen. They continued to pick on me all day. They pushed me into lockers, slapped my books out of my hand, tripped me, call me names, and beat me up. They sad part was that the teachers did nothing. I had to stick up for myself and I tried, but nothing was working. During lunch I got a text from Daddy saying that him and Dad are going to be picking me up late because they got caught up at work. This sucks. I just want to go home.

-After the final bell-

I slowly made my way to the front of the school to sit and wait for my parents when the big kids cornered me and started calling me names and hitting me. It hurt, I couldn't get up off the floor. It's happening again and I just want it to stop. "What the fuck are you doing?" i heard. The big kids stuttered, "A-Andrew we were just teaching this twat a lesson." "For what?" Andrew asked. He's intimidating. "Having two dads, it's just not ethical." one boy said. Andrew said, "What's not ethical is you beating Alexander Katherine about it. Just Fuck Off you creeps before I make you." The big kids ran off. "You okay?" Andrew asked a bit calmer. I just shrugged. I'm so sore. "When are your dads picking you up?" He asked. I said, "Late." "My mom can take you home if you have a key." He said. I nodded and texted Daddy. 

"Andrew's mom is going to take me home so I don't have to stay here by myself as it gets dark." 

"okay"

I followed Andrew to his mom's car. "Aw, Alexander Katherine what happened?" she asked. Andrew answered for me, "People are making fun of her family. Do you think we could drop her off at her house because her dads are stuck at work?" "Of coarse. Where do you live, sweetheart?" Andrew's mom asked and I proceeded to tell her my address.
