T.W. Mentions of Dysphoria, and an Anxiety Attack.

He'd always promised himself that he wouldn't ever find happiness until he got the green light from his parents, saying that they were going to be staying in the same place for a much longer time. Normally six months isn't long enough to make friends and have a substantial relationship with them, which was why he often kept himself closed off and refused to make friends.

It wasn't that he was incapable of making them, he just didn't want to get hurt time after time. Of course, it still hurts seeing everyone in their own friend groups, laughing and having a good time, or seeing couples all lovey-dovey, knowing he wasn't going to be able to maintain that kind of thing after he left the state. 

This was the 16th state he'd lived in, he wasn't sure why they moved so much, but it was more often than not that they would move within the state, and then move out of it, making him 17, and having moved a total of 31 times. The only exception to the moving twice a year was when his mother gave birth to her youngest son. They physically couldn't move.

Patton looked up at the school in front of him. His parents had promised it would be the last time they moved. Their plan was to stay in the are and really focus on their jobs and get to know people, giving them all a reason to stay where they were. Giving their kids the chance to really make friends and have the ability to be happy. For once.

Patton was a friendly kid, he always spoke to people, but he always stopped himself from making friends. He was terrified of what could come from it if he left them. He'd made a few friends back when he was seven or eight, and they'd promised to keep in contact, but when it came to it, it was difficult when school got more intense, or they had plans for the summer. By the end of it all, Patton realised it was worth more if he didn't make friends.

Sure, life was happier with friends and people you could trust, but at this point, Patton wasn't sure if he could completely trust his parents. He knew it sounded wrong, but he didn't know if it would be the last time they moved. He hoped it was, but they often changed their mind.

He made his way to the main office, wincing as a few people brushed past him, shouting at other people around him. The school was by far the biggest he'd been to, and he wasn't sure how he'd handle it. He just hoped there were people who were willing to go out of their way to incorporate him into their groups.

He smiled weakly as he was greeted by two males, both significantly taller than him, and he looked behind him to see a 'female', unable to meet anyone's gaze.

"Hello. You must be Patton." The smarter of the two spoke up, extending his hand. "I am Logan, the class President, and I will be responsible for showing you around this morning. To my right is my Vice president," he shifted slightly after the male behind him cleared his throat. Logan shot him a glare and continued, "and boyfriend, Roman, and behind you is our Head of Student Affairs, Virgil, though she hates the title, and would much rather be left to her own devices."

Patton extended his hand and shook Logan's, greeting the other two after he'd replied to Logan. He smiled, watching as Roman inched closer to Logan, wrapping an arm around his waist. He stifled a giggle as Logan scowled at his boyfriend, muttering something about him being less clingy whilst they had a "job" to do.

Logan then, after gripping onto Roman's hand, beckoned for Patton to follow, telling him he would be shown around the school and then taken to his first class. Despite being abrupt, Patton couldn't help but feel good about having Logan be the one to show him around. He seemed to know what he was doing but was also able to be sophisticated about it.
