Thomas takes anxiety medication to shut Anxiety up for a few hours. They work, and do indeed shut him up. The rest of the personality notices his drastic attitude change and odd silence.
Prince is the first to respond. Anxiety's skin paled, eyeshadow was no longer needed, and his voice was lost to the wind. His voice grew weaker by the hour, and by the third day, he could barely open his lips.
Thomas' friends celebrate the sudden drop in his anxiety, and a new burst of confidence. They encourage him to keep taking the medication, and Thomas went oblivious to the effects it would have on the trait it was silencing.
Anxiety's lips started to mold together after the first week, they lost their pinkish tiny and chapped surface to become the same as his cheeks.
The traits panic, not knowing how to fix him, and why this was happening. Prince is determined to protect Anxiety, and to fix him. But when his first few attempts don't work, he can only hope a true love's kiss will work.
High school pretty much sucks for everyone, and this is no different for Reiss Irving. As his life starts crumbling around him in the most cliché ways he finds love (in a hopeless place). More love than he can handle.
As a guy with no self esteem Reiss struggles with understanding why a bunch of guys are suddenly fighting over him.
He finds himself enjoying the attention, but in the end he will have to choose just one.

Have I ever told him I'm gay?
"Have I ever told you I'm gay?" I voice my thoughts.
My friend's eyes widen and his jaw drops open. I honestly don't care that whatever other kids are in class already heard me. "No, you haven't. Thanks for telling me though I guess." he says breathily, his face completely incredulous. My grin widens and I nod at him. "You're welcome."
