After finding out that Alex was that tattoo boy only took an hour and a half for me to figure out. Once at his room we just played video games and had music in the background.
"He so why did you come to this school?" Noah, the chubby blond asked while playing a game.
"Well this was a good school and it would get me to build relationships since I'm living here, at least that what my parents thought. Seen as I've never needed to stay in one place for a long time I guess their right, I've never built a long lasting relationship with anyone-." I started to ramble but I stopped myself. When I looked up three pairs of eyes look at me, Alex, Poe, and Lance where all just staring.
"Relationships? Does that mean I'll have to be your guardian to prevent you from sneaking into Lances room?" The strange comment coming from Poe caused my cheeked to flush.
"What I was talking about was friendships... those are also relationships" I look to the ground when saying this.
"Well I'm curious, what relationships have you had cutie." Alex says almost mockingly.
"First off stop calling me that! Secondly I have dated, I've had a girlfriend and a boyfriend." I say this just in spite of Alex's mocking tone, forgetting myself and where I am. Well...shit. How to ruin relationships a five step process, by: Taylor, yeah I should write a book.
"So your bi?" Noah asked still playing his game.
"No... I'm well, well I'm gay" I say almost mumbling in embarrassment.
"Dude don't worry, we won't make fun of you, the only reason these nut cases know sexuality is because I'm bisexual." Lance says only to add to his list of unfair traits and thing that make him great.
"Really?" I say, eyes lighting up. RED ALERT: DON'T PUBLISH THAT BOOK!
"Awww, cutie we just became friends, you think we would kick you out that fast?" Alex asked using my now pet name.
"It's happened before... sorry to categorize you with them but I try not to say anything. I've had a lot of violent disapproval in the past." This causes Noah to turn to see, losing progress on his game.
"Damn, that ruff." He says eyes lock into a scar at my neck.
"It's nothing horrible, I've just become skeptical of people's reactions and try to avoid the topic." I wish that was it but I tell only what's needed. I've beaten by a group of kids and it landed me in the hospital, during my stay my dad had to leave to the new city for his job after I was released both me and my mom went to meet him and my sister there.
"Listen Taylor," Alex using my actual name took me by surprise. "We won't let anyone hurt you, if someone causes you trouble you can always come see me and I will handle it, your one of us now." Hearing his words definitely did reassure me, knowing I have friends who have my back was a real relief. Of course I was still uneasy since it happened so fast but Alex's words did reassure me.
When I looked up from the ground I saw confused faces, not towards me but to Alex as if he said something wrong. Even Poe didn't say anything for a little, the only sound was the start menu of a game. The fist one to break the silence was Lance,
"Hey Alex can you come with me to bring in some drinks for everyone?" Despite the seemingly innocent words Lances face told a different story with a glare locked into Alex's face. With a nod they both went to the fridge, and after someone mumbles and Noah starting a new game they came back, drinks in hand.
