After the first day of school, Theodore, Tracker, Marshall, and Rocky called their parents and they said it was okay, and they went to Ashleigh's house, and Ashleigh's dad, Meethu was there, in the living room, "Hi dad, these are my friends," Ashley said. Meethu got and meet Ashleigh's friends, "Hi, Theodore Seville, and I lived next door to you." Theodore said. "Hi I'm Marshall Manon," Marshall said. "you remember me, Rocky Maunquz." Rocky said, and Meethu shake their hand, "Nice to meet you two, and Rocky it's good to see you again." Meethu said.
"Hey, Ashleigh? Where is your mom?" Rocky asked
"She's at work, and won't be back til midnight" Ashleigh said
"Well since we all barley know each other, besides Rocky and Ashleigh, how about we tell each other about ourselfs" Theodore suggested
The other four looked at each other before they shrugged and agreed wit the idea. They took places around the bed room with Ashleigh and Rocky next to each other on Ashleigh's bed, Marshall on the floor near the door, Tracker and Theodore sitting on the window seal seperated.
"Ladies first?" Rocky chuckled nervously.
"Alright guys, we don't have all day y'know" Marshall smirked.
Ashley glared at Marshall, who stuck his tongue right back at her, and signed.
"Rocky, Zuma? You guys wanna go?" Theodore said.
Rocky looked at Zuma who looked back. Rocky signed for he couldn't look at Zuma's adorable begging eyes. 'Wait, adorable?' Rocky shook his head and started with his story.
"Well, I don't know who my mom is but my dad is is very, very harsh. If I get less then a A, he'll beat me until he falls asleep. Sometimes he'll get drunk and just beat me and throw his glass off beer at me so I just hide in the woods for 3 or 4 days them go home. Also, I get bullied alot because I'm gay but my dad hasn't found out yet but if he did, I don't know if I'll be able to see the next day" Rocky pulled his knees up to his chest and looked down sadly.
"Rocky dude, it's ok. We're your friends now and we'll make sure nothing happens to you" Theodore smiled sympathetically at him.
"Thanks Theodore" Rocky said and smiled back.
Marshall smiled at his new friends laughing together but signed as it was his turn. He looked up at the ceiling with a blank face. The laughing died down when they saw Marshall's expression.
"My turn. So, ever since I was born, my father, Mr. Blaze Fitz, greatest fireman ever born, was never there for me. He wasn't even there when my mom was giving birth. Never on birthdays would he wish me a happy one, never hugged or smile at me, never said he loved, etc. He wants me to become like him, a famous firefighter. My mom is a doctor at a hospital close by but she's rarely home like my dad do I possibly live by myself. Chase usually keeps me company and keeps a close eye on me for whatever reason. Weekends, my dad trains me extra hard at the station while on weekdays after school, I train with my mom at the hospital. I do have a older brother, Tyler, he is in another country as a doctor. He spends so much time working that I haven't talked to him for 2 years now but I don't mind sometimes. I've been bullied because of my clumsiness and how I'm basically 'homeless' If you know what I mean. It doesn't happen anymore so I'm glad for that." Marshall said dully, not making eye contact with anybody
Ashley, Theodore, Rocky and Tracker got up and gave Marshall a group hug, reassuring that he's alright but he wasn't crying or he wasn't upset, he was just smiling like no tommorow. Theodore helped him up and gave him a pat on the back.
