Theron
Being an almost eighteen year old dad is hard. Responsibilities are piled sky high and the odds of me being a good dad like mine was to me is quite bleak. But the smile on my baby's face makes me think I'm doing alright.
But along came Bobby...
And you just look so beautiful, just like you were an angel,

We enter into school and we're stared at like we're Martians or something and I want to run back into that closet I never really acknowledged.
Blaise approaches and Smitty visibly relaxes as he throws an arm around the boy's shoulder and presses a kiss to Blaise's forehead.
I take Theron's hand in mine and shrug; if Smitty could kiss Blaise I could hold my boyfriend's hand. Theron's hand twitches in mine and I give him my most reassuring smile though the corners of my mouth twitching like his fingers.
Final bell rings and we split off to our classes and I'm glaring my way down Block C. A few girls giggle my way and I give them a tilt of my lips and enter Chemistry Lab 3, everyone goes silent for a second before the conversations resume when I glare extra hard.
The teacher, Mr. Brown starts teaching and it goes like that until lunch. I pay no mind to anybody. Legs didn't talk to me nor I him. Lunch bell goes and I head to my locker and swap out my books. My phone pings and I smile at Theron's text that he, Smitty and Blaise are waiting for me in the cafeteria and they already got me a tray.
All eyes are on the three of them who ironically sat smack dab in the middle of the cafeteria. I take my time in approaching and when I sit Theron takes my hand in his and give me a little squeeze and I smile slightly before taking up my fork. Smitty and Blaise are in a world of their own.
I watch as Legs and a few others approach the empty tables designated as the populars' section. He looks at me and I look at him and he does something totally unexpected. He comes to my table.
"Is this seat taken?" he asks and I just stare. It's Theron who tells him the spot is free and he sits. I'm even more shocked when loud sounds are heard and the rest of my crew joins up the table next to ours and sit with us like normal.
"What?" Legs ask when I just kept staring at him and casting wary glances at the rest of my friends waiting for the other shoe to drop.
"You being gay means more bitches for us and I will most definitely support that," Jarod says and digs into his mashed potatoes.
