Oh shi-
Im gonna be late!
gettimg up quickly i took off my shorts and t-shirt,
i quickly put on socks and the uniform needed for identification that i went there.
i brushed my teeth
and slipped on my shoes and backpack

Grab the toast that my mother had made for me
Sprinting with no hesitation

"I can't be late!"
t

hough im wearing a skirt that never stopped me!
the school i go too is lgbt friendly.
one picked by my mom.
as i struggle to keep the skirt from flowing in the wind
i dont realise until i hit a sharp corner.

"GaH..!"
he bumped into him

"oh no m-sorry..."
he said fumbling on his words he doesn't want to get hurt like this,
not today.
"please dont... hurt...me im sorry i didn't mean to!"
he mumbled.

"hurt you?"
the guy in front of his said confused
he held his hand out to help vee at his paranoid state
"here take my hand, let me help you up"

he picked vee up from his fall.
"t-thank you.. uh"
vee said confused

"Roman."

"Roman... thank you..i guess.."

"and you?"

"Virgil,,, i uh- you can call me vee if you'd like..."
he gazed in his eyes noticing the sparkles scattered so freely

what am i doing hes a complete stranger
im such a freak

"are you hurt in any way vee?"
"m-no... not that much at least.. how about you?"

"im fine honestly but i do believe that school will start soon,
dont want to gates to close on us so cmon vee.."

he kept quiet for a moment.
speed running into to doors of the school behind the boy
'he cared for me even though im a complete stranger?'
he thought
'not even my own family care about me like that,
shouldn't he have... kicked me and beaten me up for being so clumsy?
shouldn't i have been punished for my dumb actions?
wh-what is this feeling...
this is so weird...'

reaching the lockers they waved goodbye after putting their things away

vee reached his classroom on time,
sitting in his desk next to his childhood friend ally,
ally looked at him suspiciously
"who have you been seeing?"
