Boarding School-E.D

26

I'm going into my old school with my best friend that went missing

Fun

We hold hands and go into the school

Everyone goes silent

I stopped holding her hand

And bowed for a joke

We walk inside ignoring everyone and went to our favourite councillor

I knocked on the door

"Come in"

We walked in

"Ethan and Lucy?"

"We need to talk to you"

We told him Lucy's story missing out my whole life

I never told him about my life

I told him about the bullying and that's it

Lucy's parents killed themselves so she's going to the foster home to see if she can go

I go with her and our councillor

"Hey Karen I have a friend who needs a family basically"

"Hey...."

"Her names Lucy"

"Lucy you will have to go into a special boarding school institution"

She nods

"That's what I'm in can she go to the same one as me?"

"We can ask"

Our councillor left

We got in Karen's car for the ride to the boarding school

We got there and I walked to the boarding house for my lesson

It was halfway through last lesson

I walk into the gym

"Ethan Dolan"

I watch my group play dodgeball

The bell rang

"FOOTBALL TRYOUTS AT 5:45!!"

Everyone ran out

I walk back to the house

I go into my bathroom

I turn on the shower

And put on some music

I get unchanged

I step into the shower

The hot water hit my back

Burning it

It felt quite nice

I get out the shower and put on my clothes I put on the side

I walk out and I see Jessica

Her back was to me

"Hi?"

She turned around

Startled by me

she puts her hand on my chest pushing me back in my bathroom

She came in too

she turned around and locked the door

She looked very worried

"You Okay?"

She shook her head

"I-I I have a secret that I've kept from grace for too long"

she started crying

I pulled her into a hug

"How long?"

"A few years"

"Do you want to tell her?"

She nodded

"What is it?"

"I-I'm gay"

"And how do you want her to react"

"Accepting"

"And she will do that because she's your best friend and because she's your best friend she will either love you the same or love you more"

She pulled away from the hug and wiped her tears

She unlocked the door and stepped out

I walk out with her

And grace just sat on her bed

"Oh there you guys are"

She was being salty

"I-i needed Ethans help with something"

She looked to me

I put my hand on her shoulder to comfort her

"Why were you in the bathroom?!"

"Because that's where he was"

"And you had a shower together?"

I interrupted

"No that didn't happen I just washed my hair and Jessica probably did too"

I stopped talking after that

"so you didn't shower together"

"No"

"Why not"

"Because- Because I'm gay!"
