*This story is going to be in 3rd person point of view*

   Once school was over Craig started walking home. His house wasn't far from school so he just walked home and put on his earphones to ignore anyone or anything. As he walked he saw two kids at the other side of the street, talking and laughing. It reminded him of his old school and his ex-best friend. They would always walk home together and make silly jokes which made Craig so happy. They were so close that sometimes people would mistake them as siblings and they would agree. They didn't have siblings so they would call each other brothers. They trusted each other so much and they never kept a secret from each other which turned out to be a horrible mistake. It happened during summer break, they were going to become sophomores. Craig finally settled it, he is gay.

~Flashback~

   "Aren't you excited man? Next week we're going to Disney!" Said Craig's ex-friend. They were sitting on Craig's bed, playing video games. Craig just looked at him and nodded. He just paused the game and looked at Craig. "Hey, why did you pause it?" Craig questioned. "Okay, spill the beans. What's wrong?" Craig's ex-friends said. Craig sighed and told him it was nothing. Of course, he knew it wasn't true. "Craig, we never keep secrets from each other. Do you not trust me?" Craig quickly looked at him and shook his head. "No, no, no. I just- I... fine. I'll tell you but please don't get mad at me or anything. I-I can't help it a-and I'm so confused still." Craig couldn't help but shed a few tears. He was so scared. He didn't want to ruin his relationship with his best friend. Craig's friend grabbed a tissue from Craig's desk and gave it to him. Craig softly said thank you and then took in a deep breath. He faced his best friend and wanted to say something else. He didn't want to admit something to him because he was too scared. He was about to say something else like a family member died or something but he just blurted it out.

   "I'm gay," Craig said. He didn't look at his ex-best friend's eyes because he was too scared so he looked at the floor. A minute of full silence passed and Craig saw his best friend stand up. Craig looked up and saw an outraged face. "This better be a god damn joke, Craig Thompson." The ex-best friend said. Craig was terrified at this point and shook his head slightly. "N-No... it's the t-truth..." Craig said softly. The ex-best friend laughed like a lunatic and ran his fingers through his hair. "Don't ever talk to me..." He whispered. Craig was confused and couldn't hear what he said so he stood up and walked a bit closer to him. "What did you say?" Craig said. The ex-best friend pushed Craig onto the bed and Craig was shocked. "Don't you dare come close to me. I-I can't believe it! You? You out of all people? Why Craig?" He said. Craig climbed on his bed and pressed his back on the panel of the bed. "I-I can't help i-it. This is h-how I am..." Craig said, scared out of his mind. The ex-best friend paced around the room for some seconds then bolted out of the room. Craig did not want to lose his best friend.

   Craig quickly got up from his bed and chased his friend. "Come on, you can't be mad at me for this!" Craig tried explaining. "Leave me alone!" He yelled as he reached the front door. Craig reached for him and grabbed him by the collar. The ex-best friend turned around and raised his fist. Craig quickly covered his face and started shrinking a bit. Nothing. Craig didn't feel a punch so he looked at him. The ex-best friend's hand was shaking and didn't move. He just kept staring at Craig. "You're dead to me, Craig Thompson." Was all he said before putting his fist down and walking away. Craig watched as he walked away and shut the door. Craig started crying even more and ran up to his room. He jumped on the bed and stayed there until his mom returned. The ex-best friend wasn't only his best friend but his first crush. Craig liked him a lot since they first met and now that he saw him walk away because of his secret shattered him. They first met in elementary school and the first day they saw each other they called each other friends. They both were clowns and everyone loved them. On the school talent shows they would always do jokes and dress up as clowns. They called the show "Craig and Seth's wacky friendship that will last forever and ever!" (The name is not related to anyone I just randomly picked it.)

~End of Flashback~

   While Craig was walking and thinking about this horrible memory he didn't realize he made it home. As he entered he wasn't surprised to not see his mom. She is a doctor after all so she mostly arrives between 11 pm or 2 am. Craig quickly dropped his stuff in his room and then went straight to the kitchen. His new house was bigger than his old house so you could imagine the kitchen was bigger and better. Craig is an amazing chef and can cook a meal for 10 people but today was his first day and he was lazy. Luckily, his mom always gives him money every Sunday and he doesn't spend it on stupid shit so he saved over 120 dollars. He remembered a gas station was close so he decided to buy some ice cream and watch something on Netflix. He left his earphones and grabbed his more high quality and bitch cancellation- I mean, noise cancellation. Anyways, he left his house and played music all the way to the gas station and almost got lost. Once he entered the gas station he propped his headphones on his neck and grabbed his ice cream.

   He decided to get something to drink while walking so when he was about to serve himself some delicious hot chocolate he heard the door being opened and laughter erupted. He turned to look at who was at the door and it was Jonathan and his friends. "Hey, I see Craig," Ohm said, which made everyone look at Craig. All he did was wave at them and serve his hot chocolate. Jonathan walked towards Craig, everyone else also following and started having a small conversation about school. "Everything was fine I guess," Craig said. "That's great man! Hey, the guys and I wanted to hang out in the park nearby, do you want to join?" Jonathan said excitedly. Mini looked at the ice cream for a bit and shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, sure. Where is it?" Mini said as he walked to the cashier and just paid for the hot chocolate. "It's close. We just go straight for a bit and then take a left. Once you take the left you will see the park." Jack said. "That's kind of close to my house I think. Interesting." Once Craig paid they started heading to the park. "Oh, that's awesome! That means you live close to me!" Ohm said. "You live close to me too!" Jonathan added. Mini smiled. He was starting to make friends.

   Once they reached the park Mini was astonished as to how beautiful the park was. It was a huge chunk of land with beautiful flowers, a big playground, a court for basketball and tennis, and to top it all of, it had a medium sized pond with ducks and in the middle of the pond was a white gazebo that was only accessible by a white bridge. "Wow, this park is amazing," Craig said in awe. "Yep! That's why we love hanging out here." Bryce said as he grabbed Ohm's hand and ran. As they ran Bryce let go of Ohm's hand and Ohm continued chasing Bryce. "Those two, I swear. If Ryan doesn't make a move Bryce will find someone better." Brock said. Mini turned to look at Moo. "They're gay?" Mini questioned. "Dude, 90% of the whole school is gay. Are you?" Jonathan said with a smile. "Y-Yeah I am... wow. I thought I was going to be the only gay student." Mini said with a chuckle. "Nah man. Still, that doesn't mean that parents are okay with it. They don't know that almost all the school is gay so when they find out about it, or they see their kid with a person of the same gender, they move." Felix said as he shrugged his shoulders. "It's sad but true. That's how some people lose their best friends or partner." Mini smiled at the fact that his mother placed him in this school on purpose and then frowned at the fact that he might lose a friend if a parent is against the LGBT community. At that point, Bryce and Ohm returned with red faces. "Well look at you two. You guys look like tomatoes." Lui said. "Y-Yeah... tomatoes. I-I'm going to leave. Bye." Bryce said as he walked away quickly. All eyes turned to a smirking Ohm. "What happened?" Jonathan said. "Oh, you know how Bryce gets when he's happy but shocked," Ohm said with a chuckle. Mini didn't understand but everyone else got it. "You fucking did it!" Jack said. "Finally!" Cry and Felix said at the same time. "When did that happen?" Moo said. "Well, when you guys were talking I was chasing Bryce and I tackled him which made us fall to the ground. I was pinning him down on the floor and when we stopped laughing we looked at each other. Then, it just happened. We kissed, he told me that he liked me and I told him I like him. Then he was shocked and walked over here with you guys."

   After walking for a good amount of time they see them. Evan, Brian, David, and Tyler. They didn't seem to notice Mini and the others so they tried moving away but that didn't work. "Hey!" Evan yelled. Jonathan stopped walking and closed his eyes while cursing under his breath. He turned around and Evan was running towards him. "What do you want?" Jonathan said with anger. "Jonny, baby-" Evan was saying but got interrupted. "Don't you fucking dare call me that, Evan Fong!" You could see the anger on Jonathan's face but you could also see how hurt he was. "Why do you keep insisting, huh? Why? Aren't you happy with that bitch?" "What? No, I'm not with her and I never was. Please, listen to-" "Don't. Just... no. You know what you did and I've moved on. Just leave me alone for god's sake." Jonathan said as he walked away. Evan tried following Jonathan but Tyler reached Evan just in time to grab him by the collar. "Evan," Tyler said and with that, Evan took a last look at a hurt Jonathan and walked away slowly with his head down. Mini saw Evan walking away and then he looked at Tyler. Tyler did the same and looked at Mini for two seconds and then walked away. Brian smirked at Brock and said 'call me' before making a phone with his hands and walking away. "Bye Nogla!" Lui said with a childish voice. Nogla rubbed his neck and waved bye at Lui before blushing and walking away.

  While everyone was talking Mini started scanning the area to try and spot Jonathan. "Craig, why did Tyler look at you?" Cry questioned. "Yeah, why did he look at you? He never stares at anyone." Felix said. Everyone expected Mini to have an answer but all he did was shrug his shoulders. "I don't know. By the way, I don't see Jonathan anywhere." Mini said which made everyone look around. They decided to spread out and Mini went with Ohm. "So, what was that all about?" Mini said. Ohm looked around and then placed his hands in the pockets of his gray hoodie. "Evan and the rest of them weren't always like that," Ohm said. It started getting windy so Ohm puts on his hoodie and a bandana that Craig has never noticed. You could only see Ohm's eyes which made him appear mysterious. "Nogla wasn't in the picture yet until the whole accident happened because he was a new student. Evan, Brian, and Tyler would always get in trouble and fight some kids... and might have sent some to the hospital... but that was it. They were nice to us and would always defend us if someone tried to start beef with one of us. Evan would protect Jonathan the most because they were dating at the moment. They really liked each other a lot and expressed it by giving each other's nicknames. That's why Evan called Jonathan, Jonny. When we became sophomores everything changed. It happened in between March or April. Jonathan was going on a date with Evan at this fancy restaurant and when Jonathan arrived he saw Evan sitting down with this girl. Jonathan told us that he saw Evan smiling and grabbing the girls hand. When Jonathan was about to leave he saw Evan stand up with the girl and hug her. While they hugged, Evan saw Jonathan and quickly ran towards him. Jonathan ran to his car but Evan reached him. When Evan grabbed him by the shoulder Jonathan turned around and slapped him while telling him that it was over. When Jonathan got in his car Evan tried telling him his side of the story but Jonathan drove away." Ohm finished explaining. Mini looked at the ground and softly said 'wow'. "I would've never thought they used to date. Poor Jonathan." Mini said.

   Omh got worried because they couldn't spot Jonathan until they spotted him in the gazebo, looking at the water with teary eyes. Ohm walked quickly and Mini followed. "Jonathan-" "I used to love the gazebo, you know?" Jonathan said. "Evan and I would always sneak out of our house at midnight just to see each other again and I would always sit at this exact spot while Evan would sit next to me on the right. I'm guessing that Ohm already told you the story, Craig?" Jonathan said as he turned around to look at Mini. "Yeah, he already told me," Mini said shyly. "I-I'm sorry. Maybe you should've told him." Ohm said. Jonathan shook his head and looked back at the water. "It's fine, Ohm. It doesn't really matter." "Look, the guys and I have been searching for you so I'm going to call them and tell them that we found you," Ohm said as he pulled out his phone to call everyone. "Can I just stay here? I want some time to think for a bit." Jonathan said softly as if he was about to shatter into pieces. Ohm just nodded and signaled to Mini to follow him. They left and met up with the guys near the playground. Mini looked at the time and saw that it was already 4:26. He dismissed himself and walked home.

   When he arrived home he didn't expect his mom to be there so soon. She was in the kitchen preparing food and smiled widely when she saw Mini. "Craig! I was about to call you. How was school?" She said sweetly. Mini walked into the kitchen and started serving himself some lemonade. "It was... interesting. I now have a group of friends and I've already gotten myself into some drama. Life is great." Mini simply stated. His mom patted him on the shoulder and rolled her eyes. "Oh, Craig... what am I going to do with you..?" She sarcastically said. Mini sat down on top of the counter and remembered something. "Mom, why did you choose this house and this school? You knew there were better houses with better schools, why this one?" "Well, a friend of mine has a gay son that goes to this school and she told me how almost everyone was gay. I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable in another school so I chose this school for you. Anyways, I'm done with dinner so wash your hands." "I knew it! I knew you chose this school because of that. By the way, do you know the kid's name?" "Hmm, I think his name was Tyler. Yeah, Tyler Wine, why do you ask?" When she said that Mini's eyes widened. Tyler. Tyler -motherfucking- Wine. Out of all the kids, it had to be him. "I just wanted to know if he was a friend. That's all." Mini said rapidly before disappearing upstairs. "Craig!" His mom called. Mini walked back downstairs just enough to hear her and just enough to leave. "What is it?" Mini said. "My friend is coming tomorrow so you'll get to meet her and you'll also get to meet Tyler! Isn't that exciting? You'll make another friend!" She said while clapping her hands. Mini was terrified. "Um, y-yeah... socializing... with a psychopath..." Mini whispered the last part and walked upstairs to the restroom. He already had the guy's number and was already added to the group chat so he texted them about it.

Lui- Smh...

Ohm- I was starting to like you. Oh well.

Bryce- Aww poor Mini.

Cry- You better move somewhere else.

407- You dead boiiiii!!

Moo- Don't say 'bye' to Craig, that's really rude! You're going to be fine, Craig.

Mini- Thanks, Brock. You're the only nice person here. Welp, I got to go. I'm going to eat.

   Mini washed his hands and walked downstairs. His mom already placed everything on the table and he sat down. Of course, Craig's mom knew that something was wrong with Craig. "You know who Tyler is right?" She said. Mini continued eating and just nodded. "What happened?" Mini continued eating, trying to avoid the question. "Fine, don't tell me. I'll just talk to Tyler about it." "No, no, no, no, no. I'll tell you. Um, Tyler is just a guy that is in all of my classes. I just didn't want to meet a new person. That's all." Craig lied. He didn't want to tell her about Evan trying to punch him and Tyler stopped him. She would freak out! Plus, he's always telling her everything and he wants some privacy for once. Once dinner was over Craig watched some videos on youtube before falling asleep on his own.

Anyways, any feedback, comments, question, and/or advice just comment them here or you can DM me.
