Welcome To My World

XLI-Friday the Thirteenth

People say that when there's a Friday on the thirteenth day of a month, it means there will be bad luck. I believed in that when I was younger, but as I grew up I stopped believing that just because of a date everyone would turn unlucky.
School out of the closet wasn't any different from school inside of it. Everyone treated you the same way they always did, and no one would talk about you coming out.
Well, there were still some things that didn't add in my head.
Ned still hadn't read my coming out text. I'm sure that someone had already told him, but I wanted him to read it.
And there was this reason strange moment at Geography class. I was walking towards my desk, and I could swear to God I saw him checking me out as I passed in front of him.
And then there was this thing that whenever I looked at him he was looking back.
This happened when I was waiting for Brian to get out of class. I was next to the main entrance, talking to Alfred, and I looked at it to see if Ned was still there.
And when I did that, I was met by a pair of green eyes looking at me through a window.
This happened four more times before Brian arrived.
And the best about it was that when I got out of school, he did the same thing, like he was waiting for me.
"He always does that!" I told Brian on our way to the nearest McDonald's. "Like, he keeps staring at me! I don't know if he stares because he knows I like him or because he likes me back!"
"Well, I don't know if he does. But Adrien also looks at me many times."
"So, has Donovan told you anything about him?"
"First he told me that me and Adrien could work, and then he told me he was straight. That doesn't make sense."
"I don't know him, so I can't tell you if Donovan's telling the truth."
It always came back to Brian and Adrien. They were really close of having something.. The only thing that kept them from doing it was that they didn't have enough confidence to make a move.
I would do the same in their position.
Me and Brian talked about many other things. We talked about how Max told us that Florence was abusive. We talked about how a better person Alfred had become.
And one of the subjects we talked about really touched me.
I had a dog, that had disappeared two months ago. Nya. And my dad's place was really empty without her in there. I told Brian I hadn't cried for her yet. And I hadn't, because I hadn't come to terms with her being missing.
We also talked about many other stuff, and when I realized it, it was time to go.
I was really anxious, because the time had come when I would talk to my dad about my sexuality.
My brothers would take a long time packing their things, so I did it quickly and just ran to the elevator.
At first I didn't see him, but then I recognized the car he drove.
"Hey dad."
"Hey, Daniel." He said, as I sat next to him. "About what you told me..."
"What about it?
"Well, don't you think you're making this decision too fast?"
"No, I don't. I've known this since seventh grade."
"Then why are you only telling us this now?"
"Because I didn't want to hide it from you anymore. And besides, it was National Coming Out Day, and I felt like it."
He looked at me with a shocked look on his face, before he burst in laughter. "You're nuts! Who else knows about this?"
"Well...mom. And the whole class."
"What, did you make a speech telling them how you liked guys?"
"No, I "accidentally" sent a text to the class group chat where I said I was going to come out to you."
"Well, I don't think you should tell the rest of the family. And your brothers. You know how they are."
"I wasn't planning on doing it."
We didn't talk about it again, because my brothers arrived.
We had dinner at a McDonald's, as always, and I had a great surprise when I got home.
As soon as my dad opened the door, a brown figure that I hadn't seen in two months jumped against my legs, and did the same to my brothers.
Nya! It looked like she was back.
And people still say that Friday's on the thirteenth give bad luck.
Another great thing happened the next day.
Jack had just broken up with Florence, due to her being abusive.
This made me really proud of him.
And it also made me realize something.
For the first time in years, we were all happy at the same time.
And happiness brings endings.
Was our ending arriving?
This chapter was smaller than the others. Well, as I said before, I think that I'm talking a little break from this story.
It has been almost a year since I started writing it, and I'm already at chapter 41. Maybe it's a good idea to start thinking about an ending.
