[Monday; After School]

I was laying in bed, scrolling through my images, when I heard the doorbell rang. My eyes light up, and I ran downstairs to open the door. 

When I opened it, Copper smiled at me and said. "Hey" He looked so tired. 

"Hey, are you o--" I went to ask him if he was alright, when he pushed pushed himself into me and placed his head on my shoulder. Well, tried to, he can't quite reach it. 

"--kay" I finished my sentence. "School sucks without you" He groaned into my chest. I wrapped my arms around him, and said. "I'd say I'm sad, but honestly, not being in school is great" He laughed into my chest. Then looked up at me.

"I hate you" He said, and I gently laughed. I smirked at him. I wrapped my arms around his back behind his backpack and picked him up.

As I was carrying him away, I said. "Come on. Let's go do nothing" He held onto me, and laughed.

I was laying on my boyfriends floor, while playing with little ol' Nellie. I smiled at her, and rolled over, and she jumped onto my chest. I laughed, but it hurt a bit. 

I got Nellie off of me, then I walked to Nicholas. I sat down next to me, I snuggled myself into him. He smiled at me, and blushed. 

I leaned into his shoulder, and I fell tired. "Hey, darling?" Nicholas said, "Hm?" I hummed. "Are you annoyed with Tao?" He asked me.

I looked down, and then looked up at him. I leaned back into him, and whispered. "No. It's not his fault" He grabbed my hand, and rubbed his thumb on my knuckles. 

"He's one of my best friends. He never would have done it deliberately" I whispered once more. "I still don't get how people found out" Nicholas said, and I sighed.

"Like Aled said, he just spoke out way to loudly. And word spreads around. Like, how did you find out I was Pan and Trans?" I asked him. "I dunno.. I suppose someone just told me"

I weakly smiled at him, "Exactly" I sighed, and memories of Charlie and I come into my head.

"At the time, there weren't any other out LGBTQ kids in school, so it was the most exciting new of the week" I played with my fingers. "People either thought I was a novelty or I was gross. It,, It really surprised me how many people are still homophobic and transphobic" I played with my hair.

"They'd tell me I was disgusting, right to my face" I closed my eyes tightly. "It got better after a few months and some Sixth formers got the bullies to stop" I weakly smiled. "And then it was like everyone started waking up and realizing that I was a real person with real feelings" I smiled brightly.

"But the damage had already been done, I guess" I leaned against Nicholas and he said. "This is why you're stressed about us being out" Tears threatened to fall.

I looked up at him, and he looked down at me.
