Being here with the people that understand my pain and struggles, it's calming since they get me. Alex introduced me to some of her friends; Stormy; a short, curly red head, green eyes, pale, perfect smile, ears pierced, and tattoos, she is asexual. Bryan; tall, medium blonde hair, blue eyes, tan, muscular, a tattoo on his wrist, and he's gay. Daniel; medium height, long teal hair, green-blue eyes, light skin, and braces, he's bisexual. Charlotte; short blue hair, blue eyes, very tan, piercings on her ears and nose, she is lesbian. The last one I got introduced to was Cole; very short, very long black hair, black eyes, white, and snake bites, he's queer. They were all very nice to me, they got kicked out for the same reasons, which is very stupid and makes me mad. I started settling in a bit, within a few minutes I crash. I wake up to Cole bouncing on my bed, he is adorable since he is very small. "Good morning August!" "Hi Cole" I ruffle his hair into a mess. I carry Cole on my back and we walk into our small group of friends, "I just realized something" Cole hits my head, "What?" "Who's the oldest?" We all look around at each other, Alex speaks, "Well I'm 14, Charlotte is 13, Stormy is 12, Bryan is 16, Cole is 11, and Daniel is 15, so you are the oldest August" We plan what we're going to do for the day, we all decide to walk around the mall. As soon as we step foot out of shelter it starts raining, we all laugh and run for cover, I protect Cole since he is the smallest and his tiny legs can't run, so I pick him up and we run. We're all soaking wet, we go to an area and dry off, we enter the mall and we get instant stares. We're used to the stares by now but hopefully it's because we're dripping wet. We start walking around and Bryan gets pushed and he falls onto the floor, in the distance we hear; "Fag" Charlotte helps him get up and we continue walking. People these days, but we ignore everyone and we have a blast at the mall. During this I realized, they are actually my new family, nothing will spilt us up, right?
