Zach's pov

I slightly panted as I walked closer to the school I had ran most of the way I walked to the front of the school I looked around. I felt something zoom by me I saw jack on his skateboard he stopped a few feet in from of me. I walked up to him "hey ramen" jack rolled his eyes "hey ramen isn't that bad" I slightly giggled. I looked around I asked "do you have any idea where the others are?" Jack shrugged "I'm not used to talking to people in the morning I wasn't looking". I smiled "hope you can break that habit fast we love talking" jack smiled he looked around. I spoke "found them" I pointed over to the left I saw the trio talking. Jack spoke "eh I'm not walking over there" I was confused suddenly jack yelled "YO DANIEL" Daniels head immediately shot up he looked at jack. I shook my head that boy is whipped daniel started running over I softly chuckled Christina and Sam walked over. Daniel was fast to start talking to jack Christina whispered to me "are they dating yet?" I softly sighed "sadly not" we both slightly chuckled Sam whispered "let's leave the lovebirds alone". The three of us went ahead and went into the school I don't even think Daniel and jack noticed that we left. I asked "so hows your morning been Christina?" She Chuckled "I managed to scare jonah and corbyn" I spoke "you sneeky bitch" we all slightly laughed. I went to my locker I grabbed my art and music stuff I was excited for art today I think we're starting a new project today. The three of us made are way to art class I walked by jonah I purposely bumped his shoulder. When we got to class we all sat down we all just had small talk till the bell rang right before the bell rang Daniel bolted into the room. Daniel was out of breath he walked over to the table he sat next to me the teacher started talking about the project. He spoke "for the next two weeks in class you will be working on a piece with meaning to it I want to see details my students who do realistic art I want you to add elements of new styles to your piece" he went on and on about the project. He seemed to focus alot on realistic art I hummed most of my art was cartoon based or sometimes in an anime style I don't usually try to do realistic drawing. The teacher gave us all a decently large sheet of paper Daniel asked "what do you think your gonna draw?" I shrugged "don't know" Daniel spoke "hate to keep pushing the fact I'm gay on everyone but I think I want to draw a gay couple trying to defend themselves from an army of people to try and show how some people feel trapped and attacked just because they like the same gender". I was shocked how much Daniel was getting into this "I'd like to show how people of the LGBT community are still being hurt and targeted by people for no reason how some of us have to deal with so much stress and pain just to love someone and feel loved" I saw a tear roll down his face "I j-just want p-people to see we are human a-as well" I hugged Daniel. I spoke "I'm so sorry Daniel" he spoke "your not the one that needs to be sorry Zach" I spoke "if you ever need to talk I'm here" Daniel weakly smiled at me. He went to work on his drawing I looked down at my paper Daniels little speech was really hitting me hard. I couldn't think about what to draw I shot down almost every idea that came to mind until I got the perfect one.

I groaned as the teacher handed out a quiz on the lesson I hated quizzes when I got my paper I drew a blank to a few questions bit most of them I knew. I hated school but I needed to keep my grades up so I can keep playing baseball I was one of the last people to finish. When everyone was done we were allowed to talk corbyn spoke "dude in art we have such a hard project" I asked "what's the project?". Corbyn explained it "we have to do a detailed meaningful drawing and the teacher emphasized meaning so much" I asked "why not just draw you and Christina?" Corbyn sighed. He spoke "I know how are art teacher is he always is having us randomly present stuff without giving us warning". I spoke "dude it's not a bad thing to show your love for someone how would Christina feel if she knew you were scared of showing off your relationship" corbyn blushed. I patted his back "I'm not artist but maybe you should do a heart theme like a two half's of a whole theme" corbyn slightly smiled. I spoke "you know I wish I could have someone to love" corbyn spoke "you'll find the right one eventually" I sighed "hope your right"

I sighed as I slightly sketched in my notebook the tabel was all talking but I was silent as I sketched. Daniel asked "Zach you ok?" I looked up I relised I haven't touched my food or talked at all "yea just foucused on the new art project". Daniel asked "what do you think your gonna draw?" I shrugged Christina spoke "is there anyone you maybe like?". I huffed "I'm not drawing an unrealistic relationship no one would ever date me" Sam spoke "hey that's not true" I rolled my eyes "don't suggest stuff based on love" I don't want to think of love it's starting to hurt to think about it. Everyone was quite I went back to sketching.

After school

I sighed as I walked into the house I picked up my project from the art room before I left school I had it rolled up. A rubber band was around it keeping it together I quickly ran to my room I shut and locked my door not wanting to see my parents I unfolded my project I layed it out on the floor. I grabbed a few pencils good thing my floor is flat wood I gulped as I started drawing. After a few minutes I heard a knock at my door I got up I slowly opened my door when I saw my mom I let her in. She spoke
"z-zach dinners g-going to be spaghetti tonight d-do you want garlic bread" I just silently nodded my head yes as I sat back down and started drawing. I heard my mom walk closer "what are you d-drawing" I sighed "my feelings" my mom sat next to me I stopped drawing. I spoke "it looks like shit" my mom slightly chuckled I weakly smiled.

I sighed as I sketched out on my paper
I was starting on the center scene i slowly drew myself making my appearance beat up and injured. I slowly started on an outline of a large crowd surrounding the center area. I stopped when I heard my phone ringing I put down my pencil and grabbed my phone. I smiled when I saw Jack's contact on the screen I quickly answered his call. I heard him speak "hey Daniel you doing anything right now" I looked down at my paper I spoke "no I'm not doing anything". I heard jack chuckle "well that's good cause I'm bored and even if you were busy I would have annoyed you till you talked to me" i smiled and slightly laughed. I got up from the chair at my desk I went over to my bed and sat down we talked till we we're almost passed out. I spoke "I've dropped my phone twice in the last few minutes I should go to bed" jack weakly chuckled "good night Danny" I rolled my eyes and hung up I put my phone on my nightstand I immediately fell asleep a smile on my face.
