Emma, Donna, Michael, Caleb, Aiden, Sydney, Payton, Wade, Toshiro, and Samantha were arriving at the front of a familiar place, "Back at Berry High" shouted Payton.
"I know right," Emma replied,
"That reminds me," Donna recalled, "I'm supposed to show Bram Harris around."
"Helen's brother?" Wade asked.
"Exactly." Donna answered, "He just moved in with her because he had issues back at his old school."
"This is like how I started the 8th grade," Emma recalled.
Then Helen came out of a green sedan with spray paint on it, "You drive a sedan?"
"Usually for the use of BEING NORMAL." Helen answered as a black boy with a blue jack came out, "Everyone, this is my kid brother, "Bram"."
"Hi" Bram nervously greeted.
"Bro, this is Donna, Emma, Wade, Samantha, Michael, Caleb, Aiden, Sydney, and Payton" Helen greeted, "And of course you already know Toshiro."
"You visited my dad one time while I lived in West Philly," Bram recalled.
During Free Period, Donna showed Bram all around the school, when they came across a couple of rockers. "That's one of our local bands, "Emoji" " Donna explained, "Leah" is the drummer, "Nick" is the bassist, "Abby" on vocals, "Nora" is on guitar" and her brother, "Simon" is on keyboards."
Bram looked at Simon and smiled, "Forgive Simon," Nora said, "His glasses can get fuzzy all the time."
"No they don't" Simon replied.
"So Simon," Donna said, "How's your latest song?"
"It's going great," Simon said, "We're going to play it at our carnival gig next week. Though, I want you to be the first to hear it since you did so much for our school."
"Okay," Donna answered.
"Stop by my house after school," Simon replied, "And bring Michael with you, our stereo system is broken and perhaps he can fix it."
After school, Donna and Michael were at the Spier's residents. His parents were at work and Nora was out with some friends. After Michael fixed up the sound system, Simon headed off to the bathroom.
They got up to Simons room and Michael got on Simon's computer, "Are you hacking into his email?" Donna asked in horror.
"I just want to see the cool theater effects they do for this year's Spring Play."
"Desire and Decorum?" Donna asked
"Yes," Michael answered.
"Are you crazy Michael?" Donna asked, angrily.
"I am Groot(Your gonna get us in trouble.)"
As he was about to learn the effects they're going to use, he got an email from, Marinorumble mailout. com, which is Luis's email.
Check out this mysterious gay person's message, Marinorumble mailout. com
"That Luis can't keep his mouth shut," Donna said as they read the message.
Sometimes, I feel like
I'm stuck on a Ferris wheel.
One minute I'm on
top of the world,
and the next,
I'm at rock bottom.
Over and over, all day long.
Because of a lot of my life
is great,
but nobody knows I'm gay, Blue.
Just then, Groot hid in Donna's backpack, because Simon was coming back from the bathroom. He explained that he heard the whole thing and that he knew how Blue felt, "Wait," Michael asked, "Your gay too?"
Simon nodded his head, "Good thing I'm straight," Michael said with relief.
As Simon got on his computer, he wrote to Blue's email, "bluegreen118 mailout. com"
Dear Blue,
I'm just like you.
For the most part,
my life is totally normal.
My dad was the annoyingly
handsome quarterback
who married
the hot valedictorian.
And no, they didn't peak
in high school.
I have a sister
I actually like.
Not that I'd
ever tell her that.
And then, there are my friends.
We do everything friends do.
So, like I said,
I'm just like you, I'm gay.
But, I have a totally,
perfectly normal life.
As long as they gaze on
Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise,
Jacques.
"Jacques?" Donna asked.
"It's a home play on, "Jacques a dit," that's French for, "Simon Says" Simon replied.
