A/n—at the beginning of each chapter it says what day of the week it is. If it says 'Still ' that means the day of the week is the same as the day before it. (duh?) If it doesn't say 'Still' before it that means it is a new day. Please R&R!

Coin- I dubbed that 'The Review of the 'Gos''. You should be happy. Thanks for catching up though!
Swifty's PoV
Ever since yesterday morning I've felt like I'm walking on air. It's all like a dream. Nothing like this ever happens. It's all too good. I can't get the guy.
But I did. Boots is confused, though. He doesn't know what happened and this is mainly the reason I'm feeling nervous.
What will I do if he doesn't show up for tutoring? Do I have the guts to call him? One thing for sure, I don't want to find out.
Before Blink left for school this morning I talked to him about it.
"Blink, what if he doesn't come?"
"He'll come. Don't get so worried."
"How do you know that?"
"I'll make sure he rides the subway with me. I promise."
"What if he's not even at school? Then what?"
"Then he's sick. Swifty, what are you so worried about? He'll come."
"It's not like you and Mush, I don't know how he feels. Goddamnit Blink, it's not a fuckin' fairy tale!"
Then he shot me a look that is closest described as disgust.
"I'm going to be late for school," he said quietly, and shut the door behind him.
I haven't moved since he left, even though I know my shift starts in thirty minutes.
Maybe I'll never move. Hopefully I'll never have to.
Crutchy's PoV
"I have a boyfriend!" It echoed throughout my head. Did Skittery really say that? Could he have possibly said that? Are people from certain families more likely to be homosexual? Skittery's family seems pretty normal, what makes them differ from everyone else? Are the majority of teenage boys gay? Maybe they just don't know how to identify such a thing.
I wonder if I'm gay. I wonder if my other friends are too. Maybe every person in the world is 'bisexual' but it all depends on how they choose to express such an aspect of themselves.
This all makes me shiver with a foreboding feeling. It's strange how little I know about myself. It's strange how little anyone knows about themselves.
"Eric, ten minutes until dinner," called Uncle Kloppman up the stairs.
He does something I like to call 'the dinner countdown' everyday. It starts at half-an-hour and slowly works its way down to five minutes. Somewhat like a military drill.
Everything in my life is becoming so routine.
Once I read that the only way to leave behind negative energy is to break out of routine and repetitive habits or cycles.
I need to do something that I've never done before. Something that will free me from this self-destructive mode, especially after getting so mad at Skittery.
I've got to find something to do...
Maybe I'll be late for supper!
Wait, that's not rebellious enough....what have I always wanted to do? The one thing I want more than anything in the world? And then it hit me, this plan could get me in a lot of trouble.
But I had always wanted to meet my parents.
A/n: Go Crutchy! Way to find your parents! Or try to! Whoo hoo! Review! (I rhymed!!!)
