Angel Wings

4. Late start

Ivy ran around her room scrambling to grab everything she needed for school. She wiggled into her jean skirt, throwing on a t-shirt that was on her desk.

She basically threw herself down the stairs running into the kitchen and grabbing her bag and a pop tart.

"Shoes are in the garage" Dahlia laughed as Ivy muttered curses under her breath.  She ran out the garage to the waiting Hunter. She quickly slid into the car repeating " I'm so so sorry" out if breath

"It's cool, I'm in no rush. Right, Lucy?"

Ivy looked back at the cute little girl in her car seat violently boring her head "daddy, turn it up."

Kendrick Lamar blasted through the speaker she giggled at Lucy singing along.

"Thanks for the ride." She smiled waving bye to them.

"You look good in that skirt." John smiled walking up to her her.

"And you think I look good in everything." She scoffed

John shrugged as they made way to their shared locker. They both threw the things into it that they didn't need. John locked the locker before dramatically turning to Ivy,
"Now spill, what happened?"

Ivy stood wide-eyed confused as to what John was talking about

"Don't act surprised I know something went down between Angie and you, he's with his sports friends and not us."

"Well let's walk and talk. "

They started their walk to the gym, Ivy explained everything from the kiss and their walk and everything that had been going on. John, walking mouth hanging, at everything Ivy was saying. John knows that Angelo didn't really identify with a sexuality and was found to be sleeping around with boys and girls but he didn't believe it he just thought of it as gossip, rumor that people spread to get under people skin but he just would brush them off as if nothing, not answering any questions.  He knows that when asked about his sexuality he just changed the subject by after his sexuality is just fucking around with who he wants when he wants. Soon a smirk spread on John's face stopping Ivy. 

"go talk to him," John demanded, pushing Ivy into Angelo who was talking to some of his 'friends' 

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Angie." Ivy gasped staring at his phone that had flown out of his hand due to Ivy. She quickly picked up his case less phone turning it over to look at the screen. relief washed over her seeing it wasn't cracked. "Here, again, I'm so so so sorry." 

"chill gingersnap," Angelo laughed wrapping his arm around her shoulders "It's okay, it's old already. I get a new phone today." 

John finally made his way up "aren't they just the cutest?" 

the girl who clung to one of Angelo's friends happily agreed, voicing how she secretly 'shipped' them since Ivy first started attending. 

"Isn't your first name Ivan?" One of Angelo's friends asked 

"yeah, " 

"weird name for a girl." he laughed bumping her shoulder with his fist like it was a joke, not noticing the weird tension in the air from his question. 

"well, I'm technically not a girl." Ivy sighed watching the confusion wash over his face. She turned and quickly walked off to the gym, her eyes stinging. She hated having to be reminded that even after all the work she puts in to not look like a boy, it comes back screws her over with the fact she still had a penis, and she still had her original first name. She hoped that Angelo was rushing behind her to guard the bathroom stall for her.

"Hey, speedy Gonzalez." Angelo said grabbing her arm "chill."
