The Islands of our Stars

Nolan

      CHAOS.  THEY'RE SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER ON THE PHONE. 

I quickly microwave some instant ramen.While I wait for it to cook, I can hear mom blaring over the phone."IAN PLEASE, I ALREADY TOLD YOU TO NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN.....NO I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR LAWYER SAYS, I DON'T GIVE A FLIP ABOUT IT, NOLAN IS STAYING WITH ME NO MATTER WHAT.I'M NOT HANDING HIM OVER TO YOU SO YOU CAN RUIN HIM, YOU'VE ALREADY TURNED HIM INTO A PIECE OF TRASH!" oof, that stung.

Once my ramen was cooked, I quickly head up to my bedroom. As ignorant as it was I gave no shit to my mom, all that women did was scream at the damn phone.I quickly shut the door and head over to my desk. Sigh, my desk was cluttered with papers and coffee mugs. Dad's old coffee mugs. Mom had thrown these out once the divorce was final, and I had fished these out of the dumpster, but you can't blame me these mugs were still in good condition. If mom ever found out about these, she would go bananas.

Mom is strict, too strict if you ask me.She doesn't let me watch TV, she doesn't let me read books besides the Bible cause those books are "a sin," she doesn't even let me step outside unless she does.Who could want a better mom like her? Not me. Fortunately I'm always able to escape through my window when mom heads for her afternoon nap, and I always come back before nightfall.She never suspects a THING.

Part of the reason my mom doesn't let me go outside is because my friends aren't the same religion as us.Now that is a load of BS.One of my friends Tyler, he is one of that coolest/nicest person you'll meet, And on top of that he is Hot, Girls would follow him like lovesick flies, ok maybe that's not the best description but you know what I mean.But Me? Girls do not follow ME like that, and I'm not even half bad looking, But that's their loss.Even if it doesn't work out with girls I'm also into guys, so it's a win win. And fuck no I'm not telling my mom that.

I don't exactly have a type when it comes to the appearance. I honestly don't care what they look like as long as they can handle my mom and have a great personality.But if I had to choose I would say, Short, Dark haired, and fun, I think its cute when they are short especially girls, guys not really.I've fell in love before in 6th grade, with this one guy I think his name was Travis or something, that was the first time I realized I was bi. And of course as oblivious as I was, I told my  Mom and she went crazy, she kept saying how Falling in love with guys is "a sin" and that if I fell in love with one I was disrespecting my culture and family.Ha disrespect my ass. And I ended up telling her it was a joke.Of course she still had doubts and would always stare intensely at  me when I'm doing something suspicious, like that's gonna work, nice try mom but I'm not ratting myself out.

I jump as I hear a crash downstairs.Ugh.She broke the vase AGAIN, that was our fourth one.I sigh, "Can't wait till I'm able to move out."
