After school that day, Jane and Spinner decided to give me a ride back home. I hadn't bought a car yet, and even if I had, I was in no position to drive with my now broken wrist. The nurse said I would be fine in a few weeks but for now I had to keep a cast on it.

"Thanks guys. I'll see you tomorrow!" They waved as Spinner pulled off down the block. I sighed before turning around and heading into my two-story brown house.

"Mom, Dad! I'm home!" I yelled as I walked in. My parents were in the kitchen making dinner while my little sister Katie then ran forward and attacked me with hugs.

" Carson !" she squealed. Katie was the sweetest girl you could ever meet; I hate to think of what would happen to her when she starts Degrassi in a couple years.

"Hey princess! How was your first day?" I asked as I bent down to the fifth grader. She smiled

"I had the best day ever! All the kids were nice and I made a ton of friends!" I smiled as I gave her a soft hug to avoid putting pressure on my hand.

"That's great sweetie." I smiled as I watched her run off to her room to go do homework. I then got back to my feet and sat down at the kitchen table along with my parents.

"So, how was your first day?" my father asked as he looked over a newspaper. I smiled.

"Well, let's see. I made a new friend--."

My mother smiled.

"That's great honey." I raised my hand, causing her to pause.

"Oh but it gets better. I got humiliated in first period, I got humiliated in second period, I got into a fight at lunch, I broke my wrist, and now I have to wear this stupid cast for the next two weeks! All in all, it was a very interesting first day," I said bitterly as I dropped my head onto the table. My mom then quickly got up and examined my wrist.

"Who did this to you?! We will go out to that school and have them suspended."

I shook my head.

"No mom. I threw the first punch. It was a stupid jock at school. He just kept taunting me to the point were I just couldn't hold my anger anymore..."

My father sighed.

"Let me guess, they were taunting you about your sexuality." I nodded. He sighed once more before folding up his paper and putting it on the table.

"Look Carson . No matter what any of those punks at school say, you're an amazing dude. So what if you like guys, as long as you stay true to who you are, then screw everyone else who doesn't like you, okay?"

I smiled as I got up from the table.

"Yeah. Thanks dad. I got some homework to do; unfortunately my left wrist wasn't broken so I still have to do it. I'll see you guys for dinner." They smiled as I walked off into my room and closed the door. I then walked over to my bed and fell onto it. Today was possibly the worst school day of my life, and it was only my first day, imagine how

the rest of the year will be, oh crap!

************************************************************************

The next day, I hadn't had any trouble with the jocks…surprisingly. I hadn't spoken to them, they hadn't spoken to me, and so far it was a pretty good day.

It was right after lunch and I headed to my locker to get my books for science class. I then noticed Riley by the locker talking to some brown skinned girl I knew from my last period. I didn't know her name because I didn't care to learn it, I did know, however, that she was on the Power Squad. I huffed as I walked over and headed to the locker, causing the girl to give me a dirty stare and Riley to huff.

"Do you mind?" he said, in more of an insult than a question. I looked to him and smiled.

"No, you can stand there," I replied before digging in the locker for my science book.

The girl rolled her eyes to me before saying goodbye to Riley and walking away. He then groaned as he turned back to me.

"Dude, you really know how to kill a guy."

I smirked to him.

"Comes with the product. Look, sorry if I ruined your little booty call okay. But this is my locker too."

I finally found my science book thrown under some of Riley's things and I tried to pry it out, but I couldn't because of my wrist. Riley groaned as he then pulled my book out with little force and handed it to me.

"Here," he said softly as I took the book. Wow, I'd expected him to just laugh at me and walk away, or call me crippled or something, I'd never expected that he might actually do something…nice. I smiled slightly as I closed the locker.

"Um, thanks."

He nodded before walking down the hall. I stared after him with many questions running through my mind before I just shrugged and headed off to science.

Jane was sitting in her usual seat beside Spinner, and I took the empty seat I was assigned yesterday beside her. The room was dark and the only light came from the projector in the middle of the room that showed pictures of some sort of body cell.

"Hey, where were you?" Jane whispered as I sat down.

"Locker trouble," I replied also in a whisper. Jane nodded.

"How's your wrist?"

I shrugged.

"It still hurts like hell, but it's getting better."

I then looked over to Spinner who looked like he was about to hurl. I frowned as I turned to Jane.

"I think something's wrong with your boyfriend." She looked to the screen that was showing body tissue before looking back to Spin.

"Oh, inside body features freak him out, no big."

I laughed quietly before beginning to write notes down about the tissue.

After class, Jane, Spinner, and I walked out of class and headed down the halls. It was the last period and it was time for me to go and deal with the horrible subject that is Calculus.

"Hey, you guys, know anywhere hiring around here? I need some cash and I don't really feel like bugging my parents."

Spinner nodded.

"Yeah, I work at this café after school. It's a place called The Dot. We need a few more helping hands around there. Could you start today?"

I smiled.

"Thanks Spin! Yeah I could totally start today! I'll be there!" I thanked Spinner one last time and waved as I made my way towards Calculus. As I turned the corner, I suddenly bumped my shoulder hard against someone, causing me to fall to the floor. I looked up and who do I see…Derek. Go figure.

"Watch where you're going!" he yelled as he and his jock buddies looked down to me. I smirked as I looked to some of the bruises that I had left on his face before I got back to my feet.

"Whatev, later losers," I said before heading off down the hall once more.

"What a fag," I then heard one of them say causing me to stop dead in my tracks again. I took a deep breath before I calmed down and continued down the hall. I didn't have time to deal with their childish antics today.

I glanced back once and I noticed once again Mr. Stavros staring after me before heading off behind his buddies. I rolled my eyes before walking into Coach Armstrong's class so I could get this over with and be done with today.
