Shrignold Pov:
    I was writing in my diary about how sad I was that Jack didn't like me back. I'm not normally one to do that but I really needed to get my emotions out. My phone alarm went off and I realized I needed to leave for school.
    I hid my diary under my mattress and left for school. School was going to be hell, I always hated it but I just had a feeling today would suck.
    As soon as I walked into class everyone started looking at me. I was very confused until I sat down and the kid next to me asked if I was gay
    "No, where'd you hear that from?" I asked him
    "Jack is telling everyone that you like him and that your gay." He said
    "Oh that, that was just a joke I pulled on him I thought it's be funny to see his reaction!" I laughed
    "Well, Jack didn't take it that way, apparently he's told a ton of people that you're gay." He responded
    I just stayed silent and started thinking. Of course he told people and now everyone's going to know I'm gay. I could feel my heartbeat speed up. 'Calm down' I repeated in my head a few times. Before I knew it school was over. I was thankful since everyone seemed to be staring at me all day.
    I found jack and asked him "I said it was a joke why are you telling everyone I'm gay?"
    "You gave off the impression that you were lying, you still do. Just stay away from me you fag"
    "Whatever, fuck you" I said before I walked off
    I was hoping my mom would be passed out so I could go cry in peace. But when I opened the door I saw her standing there holding my diary looking furious

    "It's 8 wake upPpPpPpPpPppPp" Tony exclaimed
    "Ok I get it you can leave now" I said
    As he left I held in my tears before curling into a ball and crying. I hate remembering, why am I getting so many dreams about it lately? I keep asking myself.
    After a while I gained my composure and got ready for the day, me and Larry were going to discuss the cult again!
    I thought about eating but decided against it and just waited for Larry to show up. Almost as if on queue I heard a knock and opened my door to see Larry!
    "So what are we discussing today?" He asks
    "Etiquette I guess? If your ok with that" I respond
    "Yea sure I'm fine with whatever!" He cheerfully responds
    I start explaining how you should act during meetings to him but once again, we quickly get off topic and before I know it Steve is calling us down for dinner.
    "Well this was fun! We need to do it again tomorrow!" I say
    "Do you want to work it into our daily routines? You tell me a bit about the cult and then we mess around and have fun after!"
    "I'd love too! Does this mean we're friends now?" I asked
    "Of course it makes us friends!" He says
    "Ok I'll be down for diner in a second you go first" I tell him
    I can't let the other see me around him or they'll tell him the truth. So I guess I'll wait up here for 5ish minutes. I'm a pretty impatient person so this felt like it went on forever
    Finally I decided it would be fine to go downstairs and eat. I sat down and it was the same gross food with white sauce on it. I wasn't planning on eating but now I really don't want to eat.
    I got up to leave after a bit of listening to others talk when Fred said "hey! You didn't eat!"
    "Yea I had a big lunch so I'm not hungry" I lied
    "Ok whatever, just clean up after yourself" Steve said to me
    I cleaned up my plate and put it in the dishwasher before I headed back into my room. Thinking about what me and Larry would do made me really happy, I'm not entirely sure why. I've had friends before but hanging out with him just feels... different. I'm not entirely sure how to put it into words to explain it.
     It was getting late so I tried to come up with things to do so I wouldn't have to sleep. I didn't want to go back to that dream. But sleepiness won in the end I ended up falling asleep around 4am

[sorry about the short chapter! I was trying to evolve their friendship a bit more this chapter, next chapter should take place over 5 days so it will be longer than this one!]
