When I wake up the next morning, the smile I had since last night was now far gone.

''Fucking Mondays'' I say

Oh yeah, it was back to school, back to reality. I would have to face the total douchebags in my classes and the bitches talking behind my back…well ONE in particular...Alex. Long story short, Alex had been telling random people at school that I like her best friend Kelsey which was actually bisexual (remember the first girl I had feelings for that rejected me? yeah…that). Besides that Alex is the kind of girl that is always seeking attention from everyone and especially boys. Wearing marijuana socks (like seriously?), trying to look cool and all but really she just looks stupid, just like the majority of the guys of my age wearing their pants under their ass because apparently it's cool and makes you look ''tough''. Well «News Flash», you just look dumb as fuck! Anyways, good thing I have Karma to get me through high school, don't know how I would've done it without her. She accepts me for who I am and she understands me just so well, I couldn't dream of a better best friend.

After I put on my uniform for school (oh yes, uniform, you heard it right) and don't even bother to eat breakfast since I'm never hungry in the morning, I leave to house and begin to walk the usual path that leads to my school.

As soon as I arrive at school I go straight for Karma's locker. She was out of the city with her family for the weekend, so I didn't have the chance to tell her everything that happened or the certain girl that I met in the past two days.

'' Hey! How was your weekend?'' I say when I finally find her at her locker

She pulls me into a small hug

'' Hey! Pretty nice actually, how was yours?'' she says

'' Well that's what I wanted to talk to you about actually. I met a..'' before I can finish my sentence, I feel someone slightly pushing me.

'' Hey watch it!'' I snap

I meet with Alex's evil eyes

'' You watch it Lesbo! Don't wanna turn gay like you am I? '' she says

''Like that could happen you moron ''

'' I'm not taking any chances and especially not with… you '' she points at me up to down with a disgusted face

''Fuck off Alex'' I say exasperated

'' With great pleasure, I have no time to waste with a bunch of abominations'' she says, tossing her hand towards us

'' FUCK YOU!'' I show her my middle finger before she finally leaves with a satisfied smile on her face

I turn back to Karma

I growl '' What a bitch! I can't believe it! ''

'' Leave it Amy, let her be the attention whore she wants to be '' Karma says, irritated as well

'' ANYWAYS, like I was going to say..'' Once again, I am interrupted by someone

'' Miss Raudenfeld, could you please come with me '' I turn back to meet with the school director, Mister Poe

Well shit.

'' Such behaviors are not tolerated in this school Miss Raudenfeld, I hope you understand that. '' says Mister Poe as I glance at Alex sitting beside me.

'' I know I shouldn't have yelled those words and everything, but to be honest, she didn't really help either '' I look at her, angry

'' What, me?'' she says innocently '' I didn't do anything, she just yelled at me for no reason sir ''

'' Oh shut up you liar '' I say

'' Miss Raudenfeld…'' says Poe with a more serious tone

'' Well Alex, do you want to talk to him about all the homophobic slurs you keep telling me each and every day that we see each other at school, uh?! ''

Poe frowns

'' Alex is this true?! You know that in this school there is a no tolerance policy against bullying and even more regarding homophobia ''

'' Sir, I swear I would never bully or be homophobic against anyone in this school. I am a good person '' she says

'' Are you kidding me?! '' I burst '' You've been bullying me for years now and started being homophobic towards me the second you knew about my preferences. And now it seems like you're a liar as well, oh yeah you're such a ''good person'' Alex '' I say sarcastically

'' I swear Mister Poe, it's all lies, I would nev..''

'' ENOUGH! '' Poe shouts '' That's enough, I am tired of all of this. Both of you will get detention for 2 weeks. My decision is final, now get out of my office. ''

'' But Mist…'' Alex tries to say

'' I said NOW '' he replies

We both make our way out of the office

'' Waw Alex, you really are a bitch '' I say, leaving towards the stairs

I hear her talk in the background but I don't care anymore, I just want this day to end.

After school, Karma and I meet outside beside the student's entry. While walking I finally get the chance to tell her what happened in the weekend.

'' SO, like I was trying to tell you all morning…I met a girl this weekend '' I say, smiling

'' Oh really?! '' she says, getting a little excited

'' Yeah, her name is Reagan, she's 19, she's in college studying cinema and has her own apartment and all ''

'' Ouuh, so you have a thing for older woman now Amy? '' she says with a wink

'' Shut up'' I say, amused '' She's also a DJ on her spare time, so who knows, we might be able to get into some pretty cool parties''

'' Oh I love her already! And when do I get to meet this mysterious girl of yours? ''

'' Woah Karma, it's only been two days haha But I promise that if things get more serious I will definitely introduce you to her ''

'' Aww thanks Aims…I'm really happy for you, you know? It's been a while since I've seen you smile like that '' she says, smiling at me

'' Thanks Karms, I honestly don't know how I would've made it this far without you '' I say, a bit emotional

We hug a bit before making our way to the bus stop where we both head towards different direction.

When I get home, I put my stuff in my room and sit on my bed, taking out the book I'm currently reading: « Insurgent », from the divergent series which is pretty good so far.

At 6 o'clock, I hear my father and stepmother enter the house. Moments later, my father appears on the door frame.

''So…I got a call today '' he says

I look at him a bit nervous

''…yeah?...''

'' It was your director telling me you've got detention for 2 weeks for swearing at another classmate in the middle of the corridor. Could I have a little explanation here? ''

'' That girl deserved it, she was being totally homophobic to me, I wasn't going to just let her insult me like that! ''

'' Honey, it's not completely her fault. You've got to assume the consequences of your acts and…choices ''

'' What do you mean choices? What choices? ''

'' Well…you know what I mean Amy. The…lifestyle you choose. ''

'' You mean that it's my fault that I received homophobic slurs because I CHOOSE to be gay?!''

''Well…''

''ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? ''

'' Amy calm down, please!'' he says

''How can I calm down when my dad thinks I choose a life of hate and discrimination and bullying?! How can I calm down when my dad thinks that what I was born with is actually something I choose? How can I fucking calm down after what you just said?!'' I burst

My stepmom walks into the room

'' What's going on here?! '' she says

'' Nothing, I'm just not sure about…well Amy's life choices doing her more bad than good that's all ''

'' He means he doesn't agree with me being gay, which is not new information, though this one is: I get discriminated and my OWN FATHER doesn't even support me or comfort me! ''

'' Amy please, we discussed this before… ''

'' Oh so you're not going to back me up either I guess? FINE, I'll leave then since I'm clearly not welcome in this house ''

I get a bag out of my wardrobe and start putting some stuff in it

''Honey please, don't be ridiculous, you're only sixteen; you can't just go out there on your own. Where could you even stay? '' my dad says

I finish packing my bag, go past my dad and stepmom, take my jacket and put on my shoes. Before I leave, I turn back to face them.

'' At my girlfriend's house '' I respond, slamming the door behind me

Ok yeah technically she wasn't my girlfriend, but I just wanted to freak them out a bit so they wouldn't have anything to say; and actually it didn't bother me too much to imagine Reagan as my girlfriend. As for Karma well I knew that her and her parents were out for the evening to go see a movie and I couldn't really spend several hours wondering around on my own, so I thought of Reagan.

Taking out my phone, I dial the number and wait…

After a few seconds, I finally hear the familiar voice:

'' Hello...Amy? ''

'' Hey…listen something happened with my dad and stepmother… an-and I left my house… Do you mind if I come by your place? '' I say with a shaky voice

'' Of course not, I'll send you the address, be careful okay? ''

'' Sure, thanks Reagan, I really appreciate it ''

'' Don't worry about it ''she says

After what seemed like eternity, I finally found Reagan's apartment. It was in a nice little neighborhood. I stepped in front of the door and pressed on the doorbell marked with the number «139». After a moment, the door opens and I can't help it, I burst out crying in Reagan's arms.

''Assholes'' I say, sobbing ''I never want to talk to them ever again...''

''Shh…it's fine I'm here now don't worry'' she says, tightening her grip on me, which reassures me

We walk up the stairs and into her apartment. It's small but cosy. I've calmed down a bit as I go sit on the couch, she takes my bag and leaves it at end of it.

She joins me and simply lies down on the couch, taking me with her. She hugs me while I uncontrollably start crying again into her chest.

After a long amount of tears, I finally fall asleep in Reagan's arms…
