Mitch's POV
School hasn't been too bad. All but two of my classes, History and Chemistry, are with Scott, since I take advanced classes. This school actually isn't that bad. No one makes fun of me for my voice, but now I'm in theater, the last class of the day, and Kirstie can't stop bragging about my voice.
"Mitch, let Ms. Johnson hear you sing!"
"No."
"Mitch, let her hear you." she said through her teeth.
"I said no, Kirstie. I don't sing anymore."
"Why? 'Cause of your mom? She's dying, Mitch. That doesn't mean you have to, too!"
I start to walk out the door, tears streaming down my face, but I feel Kirstie stop me.
"Mitch, I'm sorry."
"I can't believe you said that." I look slightly to the right to see Scott staring. "Just leave me alone, okay?"
I run up onto the roof top. Scott showed me this spot during lunch. It's a place to get away.
"Mitch?" I look up to see Scott standing there. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." I say, faking a smile.
"What was Kirstie talking about?"
"My mom is dying of cancer. That's why I moved here. I moved in with my sister because of two reasons. My mom didn't want me to see her die. And two, my dad doesn't approve of me, so he'll either hurt me or kick me out."
"Mitch, I'm so sorry." He brings me into a hug, and I immediately lose it. Tears start pouring out and I begin sobbing. "Do you wanna come over after school? My mom's making dinner, and we can work on our English project together."
"Yeah, sure. I'd like that."
"And Mitch?" he asks while we're walking out the door since it's the end of school.
"Yeah?"
"You're dad's an idiot for not accepting who you are. You're an amazing human being, and I've only known you for a day."
And with that, we walk to his car and drive to his house.
