High School never Ends

First Day

Virgil's Pov.

I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock, I reach for the snooze button still not lifting my head from my pillow. I hear one of my dad's knock on my door
"Come on kiddo time to get up for your first day of freshman year!"
"Okay."
I finally sit up and go over to my closet and pick out my outfit for the day. Then attempt to brush my hair before going downstairs seeing both of my dads at the table. My dad smiles brightly and nudges Logan a bit so he'll look up from his newspaper.
"Morning Virgil, you got everything for your first day of school?"
"Yes I double-checked my bag last night just to make sure."
Logan nods and sips his coffee.
My brother then rushes down the stairs to the door, grabbing his bag on his way.
"Bye Dads, Remus is taking me to school today!"
"Okay, try not to get into too much trouble on your first day back!" My dad yells after him.
Janus is already out the door. Shortly after, I head out to the bus stop as my dad's drive to work. I wish they would have let me get a ride but my dad and Logan wants me to socially interact as Logan puts it.

The bus ride was a cramped and loud nightmare. My music could only block out so much of the noise. When I finally get into the building. I find my locker and grab my schedule and decide to head to my first class a bit early. I take a deep breath to calm my nerves a bit as I walk to my class. I take my headphones out as I approach the room and put my phone in my bag after checking the time. The bell rings shortly after, I find a seat in the back of the room, sitting quietly as the other kids come in the room. Most of them being sophomores and juniors. They must have been surprised to see a freshman in the class. Most freshmen don't start off in a third-year class, then again I'm not like other freshmen. Having a teacher as a dad helps as well as spending a lot of time inside reading helps too.

It's about halfway through the day and it's finally lunch. I find an empty table and pull out my lunch my dad packed for me. After I eat, I notice my brother at another table with his friend, Remus. He notices me then heads over to me and smiles, ruffling up my hair.
"How's your first day so far Freshie?"
"Fine, I guess. No panic attacks yet. If that means anything." I say and shrug.
He smiles more. "You should come  sit with Remus, his little brother, and I. His brother is also a freshman just like you."
"Nah. Wouldn't want to embarrass my cooler older brother."
He sighs and gets up.
"Well walk over if you change your mind."

I'm finally in my last class of the day. I'm so glad I'm with Logan for my last class. I sit in the back of the room at a table by myself. I notice a few kids staring at me probably due to the fact I'm one of the only Freshmen in the class. Eventually, the class ends and I wait for everyone to leave before heading out. I decide to walk home. I'm not gonna deal with that hell again. Unfortunately, it starts raining.
"Just my luck," I mutter before pulling up my hood.
I finally make my way home, my hoodie soaked. Thankfully my bag and all my things are fine. I take off my hoodie to let it dry and sigh, noticing my dad's and my brother are still not home. I head upstairs to my room and put my phone on the charger. I sigh and look over my arms covered in light scars that usually are hidden by my hoodie or by longer sleeves. I sigh, the quilt starting to eat at me, my body starts trembling. I follow the breath patterns my dad taught me and calm myself. Then hear my brother come home.
"Where are you at Virg?"
I get up and bite my lip and wrap a blanket around my shoulders hiding my arms. "I'm here." I head downstairs and Janus smiles at me.
"Did you really walk home in the rain?"
I nod and he pulls the blanket off me, wrapping himself in it, smirking.
I try hiding my arms to no avail. He already spots them and frowns and gently grabs them to take a closer look.
"Virgil, why are your arms all scared up?" He asks slowly, voiced laced in worry
I slowly pull away my arms and bite my lip hard.
"Look, I'm fine Jan. Just please don't tell dad or Logan about them okay?"
My eyes fill with fear and shame.
After a moment of hesitation, he gives a curd nod.
"Just be safe, Virgil. We all need you in our lives, okay?"
I nod and hug him a bit, my eyes starting to water a bit.
"They should be home pretty shortly, Pat dad is bringing pizza home for dinner just for you."
I smile a bit and roll my eyes a bit playfully grabbing my blanket back from him.
"You know you can wear one of my hoodies if you want till yours is dry."
I nod and he throws me one of his that's hung up. I slip it on and sigh, calming my nerves. Something about hoodies calms my nerves.

My dads finally come home and we all sit at the dinner table and start eating dinner. Both my dads look over at me a bit.
Then Dad finally speaks, "How was your first day, Virgil?"
"It was fine I suppose, some of my teachers seem nice enough."
Logan smirks. "Especially your science teacher."
I smile and roll my eyes playfully. "Especially him, although he looks a bit too smart to be a high school teacher."
Logan chuckles. "Man if I had a penny every time I thought that."
Dad smiles.
"Did you meet any new friends today?"
I bite my lip unsure if I should lie to make him happy or tell him the truth.
"No, not yet."
"It's okay, Virgil, you'll make one sooner or later."
I nod and we all finish up eating and I head upstairs and hear Janus talking to Remus on the phone. I sigh and head into my room and draw a bit before looking over my homework and planner. After a few hours of drawing and listening to music. I look at the time and notice It's already 10 pm. I get up from my desk and get ready for bed. After getting ready I get in bed and stare up at my ceiling before slowly drifting to sleep.
