Ace has always had an interest in art, and dreamed of having a professional career in the industry. After months of searching, he was finally offered a tattoo apprenticeship. Feeling elated over the offer, Ace took the apprenticeship and ignored any possible red flags. Whether this was a mistake is still to be determined. What is known, however, is the next six months will not be forgotten.
This story is based on my real-life experience getting a tattoo apprenticeship. I've changed the names and locations, but the actual stories remain mostly unaltered. Except for the gay sh*t; that's purely fiction.

Most people think they know him: a cocky, arrogant, rude jerk who couldn't care less about what anyone thinks. But there's a part of him no one's ever seen-and he intends to keep it that way. Archer Wilson has everything going for him. Top of his classes, most popular boy in school, and Saint Arthur's golden boy. He's charismatic, effortlessly kind, and has a way of making anyone fall for him without trying. When Riley's family immigrates from Russia to the States, he struggles to adjust, forced to start over in a place that feels nothing like home. His closed-off attitude and tendency to act like a total douchebag don't help either-they just push people further away. But Archer doesn't back off. If anything, he's more intrigued by the new transfer student, determined to break down every wall Riley has spent his life building. He can't help but praise him for everything he does, and quickly realizes he's smitten the moment he meets him. What happens when Archer, Saint Arthur's golden boy, starts falling for the new transfer student who seems to hate everyone?

"What if I'm not one?" I asked, my body wound tight with tension. "One what?" he asked, his voice soft and low. I hesitated. Was I ready? I wanted to tell him so badly. Wanted to scream it from the fucking rooftops. But there would be no going back if I allowed the words to spill out into the world. Telling myself I didn't need someone else's validation, that I knew myself well enough to know with absolute certainty that I was trans was all good and well in principle.

Danny's rejection would break me. In a fundamental way. "One what?" he repeated the question, scooting so close to me the tip of his nose brushed mine. Dust motes danced around us, suspended in mid air, teetering on the brink of this momentous feeling wrapping itself around us. I squeezed my eyes shut, pushing down the rush of anxiety trying to drown me. His nose bumped mine again and his breath ghosted over my lips. I opened my eyes and stared unblinkingly into his. 'A girl', I wanted to say, even though I knew the words would taste sour in my mouth, 'what if I'm not a girl?' -------------------------------------- Sean and Danny have been next door neighbours and best friends since they were six years old.
