corbyn watched zach skate up and down the ramps successfully, "damn you've really been practicing."

zach stopped himself at the top of the ramp and glanced down at corbyn as he adjusted his camera lens.

corbyn wanted to test of his new camera for his photography class.

zach just wanted to mess around at the skate park while corbyn snapped random photos.

corbyn sat at the top of the ramp now and zach plopped down beside him as he watched the boy flip through shots he had taken.

"so, jack topping?" corbyn asked as he lifted the camera up to his eye.

zach's face went red immediately at the comment, "s-shut up..." he muttered as he nudged the blonde.

"thank you for confirming" corbyn grinned jokingly before snapping a picture of a group of kids messing around on one of the smaller ramps.

zach shook his head, still burning up as he got up and went down the ramp wanting to get away from his stupid friend.

corbyn took a picture as zach did so.

zach stopped himself on the other side and he glanced towards the gate and entered daniel seavey and jonah marais.

daniel carried his board while jonah ate chips beside him.

zach locked eyes with daniel, and daniel quickly dragged jonah over towards corbyn and zach.

daniel climbed the side of the ramp where zach was and jonah plopped down beside corbyn.

"wassup" zach said as he nudged his board with his foot.

daniel shrugged his shoulder, "i'm stressed about our chemistry test and super tired, you?"

"eh i gotta study for my spanish test but other than that i'm good" zach mumbled as smiled at daniel.

daniel smiled back before glancing over at his secret boyfriend.

"he's really anxious..." daniel mumbled as he slightly leaned his body in zach's direction.

"about what, being gay?" zach whispered.

daniel nodded, "it's more about people knowing that he's gay; he's scared about what his family will do."

zach bit the inside of his cheek and thought for a long time.

〰

zach was never scared of coming out to his parents, he knew they would accept him.

so he never had the fear of being disowned.

zach laid beside jack in his bed at his dad's house, his mom was still mad and had him on lock down.

he could only go to her house, his dad's, and school and no where else but those three places.

they say it was an agreement from both sides, but i'm pretty sure it was just his moms.

"jack were you scared of coming out to your parents?" zach mumbled.

jack turned his head to glanced at zach laying beside him, "no, why?"

"my friend hasn't come out and he's scared that if he does, his family will disown him" zach said as he stated at jack's shoulder.

"he could move in with a friend or another relative" jack said unsure of why zach was telling him this.

"were you scared?" jack asked and zach shook his head, "my family is accepting."

"so i knew i would be okay."
