A Pig, A Devil, A Cheetah

A New Beginning

I am Neo Jones. I am sixteen years old. I have bright blue hair with blond roots. I am popular. I have five siblings. I have grey eyes. I am paler than pale.

The polar opposite of Ace.

I repeat simple facts about myself as I look into the mirror.

I have a best friend named Ashley. But they like to go by Ash now. I can't swim. I am a sophomore in high school.

Thinking of high school I, unfortunately, start again tomorrow. I've been out for a month or so.

"Neo?" My mother says knocking on my door.

My favorite drink is coke. I love Mexican candy. I'm gay.

"Honey...you haven't been out of your room in weeks."

I open the door enough for her to see me. "I come out for breakfast and dinner," I say in my natural quiet voice.

The polar opposite of Ace.

"Exactly. You only come out for food, baby." She says with a sad look. "You can talk to us if you need to. Please tell me you know that." Her eyes pleading.

I nod my head to make her happy. She knows I won't tell her anything. Never have. Never will.

She seems satisfied with my answer because she puts her hand on my cheek before leaving to go back to the living room.

I close the door quietly while my room is again submerged in darkness save for the lamp by the mirror. I sit down again and stare at my face.

Boyish charm. Wide innocent eyes. A fascination with mountains. A love for road trips. I live in New Mexico. I'm single.

How the heck did I even come up with Ace?

Not wanting to look at myself anymore I flick the lamp off. While my whole room is now dark except for the moonlight coming through the window, I make my way to my window.

At least I have one thing in common with Ace. Stars are still my favorite.
