Fake bullying and sweet secret kisses
September 1st, 2019

Anton lies his bike against the back of the shop as he glances up as Zorah approaches and smiles
"You look awfully pretty today."
A small smile pulls at Zorah's lips as she clears her throat
Anton could see Zorah give him a curt nod looking uncomfortably he smiled at her reassuringly.
" Is it about your voice honey...your voice is perfect but I know you won't say anything to us but just know your voice is femme as fuck like ariana grande could never".
Anton smiled trying to reassure Zorah, trying to help calm her Dysphoria he knew about Zorah's issues with her voice and shoulders, so he always tried to reassure her that she looked fine. Malorie speaks interrupting Anton's thoughts himself.
"You look great zorah..no need to keep double checking babes."
Zorah lets out a giggle and smiles, Anton feeling relieved she didn't frown.
Anton sighs and pulls out his phone
"Sabrina said we could meet her Starbucks after her shift so we got like twenty minutes, we can start heading there. Malorie and Zorah nod, Anton and malorie get a ding on their phones, they both look up and smile before checking Zorah's message
"Race ya hoes".
Zorah finishes strapping up her roller skates, and Malorie balances on her skateboard. Anton hops on his bike and they all race down the hill towards Starbucks. Zorah comes in the first place, Anton is second and Malorie is in third frowning and huffing
"Not fair Zorah you played sports and Anton your just lucky."
Malorie sticks out her tongue at the pair being a sore loser.
Anton laughs and heads into the Starbucks slipping a dark grey beanie on his long pale green hair the grey of his beanie making the green pop against his fawn-colored skin.
He walks up to Faye and smiles
"Hey hun, Brina around?"
Faye smiles
"Yeah, she got off like two minutes ago."
Anton smiles as Sabrina comes around the corner dressed in her regular black and yellow outfits.
"Hey, have you heard from Myles at all?"
Sabrina furrows her brows
"Did you forget me and Myles like broke up months before he went missing?"
"Yeah just wanted to know if you've heard from him at all."
Sabrina looks at Anton, her arms crossed and her lips pressed together tightly
"No we broke up so naturally, I blocked his fucking number, he couldn't text me if he wanted."
Anton walks back outside to the girls and shakes his head
"Nothing she didn't give me shit."
Malorie lifts her chin and purses her lips
"Holy shit guys I forgot to tell you guys but not here, I don't think it's safe to talk about in public. Hey Anton can we go to yours? You know my parents will chew Zorah out for daring to show her face."
Anton nods and they all rush off to his house. Anton and the girls walk into his house, spotting Anton's mothers locked in a passionate embrace.
Anton closes his eyes
"Mom...Mama stop eww my eyes!"
Anton's mom Meghan giggles and walks over to kiss her son's forehead
"I gotta head off to work, but love you kid and you to babe!"
Gloria walks out the door leaving her wife Meghan smiling at the teens
"They're snacks in the fridge and I restocked your mini-fridge Anton you gotta learn to clean it out, hun."
Anton smiles at his mom and nods hugging her as she walks out of the door, probably heading to work too.
Malorie reaches into her pockets fishing out a small yellow flip phone.
"We found Myles's bag in the boy's bathroom ceiling you know where he hid binders and stuff but we also found what seemed to be drugs and red liquid inside tiny vials, we also found a fuck ton of cash...Myles wouldn't have had that shit on him so it's obvious why he would've hid it."
Anton looks at Malorie in shock and disbelief
"What are you telling me Myles was dealing...no way...if anyone was fucking dealing I totally wouldn't suspect Myles...Deliah maybe but Myles?"
Malorie nods
"Yeah, Zorah your opinion?"
Zorah shrugs
Anton looks at Zorah sympathetically
"It's just us you can talk if you want, I know you hate it but it's either that or you might lose the ability to talk if you keep doing this."
In truth, Anton hadn't heard Zorah's voice in weeks beyond laughs and giggles or sighs she let slip but no voice not since her dysphoria has been getting worse.
Zorah twists the ring on her finger and Anton could see the vein in her neck throbbing.
Anton taps his fingers in anticipation to hear his best friend's voice again.
Zorah rolls her eyes and frowns
"It's so fucking gravelly and crackly and I hate it but fine Anton you wanna fucking hear it here ya go...but thanks Anton for being worried about me."
Anton pats Zorah's back and watches Malorie as she goes through the phone.
Malorie groans
"I see a couple of names I don't recognize like Cinnamon, and he didn't talk to our mom because she fucking hated him but he has two contact names for a Mama, one named hippie mama and one Biker mama and a couple of texts from an unknown number. Which one should we start with?"
Zorah butts in
"Cinnamon sounds cool."
Malorie flips through the messages
"Nothing here just a couple of texts back and forth talking about someone named Daryl and how he left for the night and cinnamon thanks Myles for walking her home again."
Anton smiles
"That's kinda sweet of Myles"
Malorie nods
"Pretty short convos he had started texting "hippie mama" and "Biker mama"
starting in July, they all stare at the screen as Malorie reads the messages aloud.
