Tomikas POV
My name is tomika I'm 15 I'm the bass player and singer in school of rock but I have a secret I have lung cancer it's hard to sing with it we were rocking out when I started coughing
Z: you ok
M: umm break
Mr finn is the only one who knows
T: mrfinn I'm fine
M: eyebrows
T: crap
He dragged me out he gave me some water and made sure I took my pills
T: they taste like shit
M: which is exactly why I like to see you take them
I glared at him playfully and he chuckled we walked back
F: what was that about
T: nothing just a little coughing fit
S: do we continue
I tensed up and mrfinn noticed
M: let's just learn
I mouthed thank you he gave me a thumbs up Freddy noticed he's been suspicious for awhile I sat down
TIME SKIP END OF DAY
I was at a doctors appointment and I saw Freddy dammit
D: Tomika your cancer has gotten better
T: thanks
I turned around and saw Freddy
T; heyyyyyyy
F: cancer?
I told him everything
F: how does mrfinn know
T: he saw me losing hair my hair has grown back now though
F: why didn't you tell us
T: you'd baby me
F: huh
T: I didn't want to seem weak and you guys would stop practicing if I had a little tickle in my throat
F: well-
T: you tell one person you'll be transgender the next day
F: damn woman fine
1 WEEK LATER
My parents found out about the band were in the principals office
Tm: Tomika this isn't good for your lung cancer
S&L&Z: WHAT
T: thanks mom 😒
Td: see they don't know is they can't help you
F: actually I knew
M: me too
S: why didn't you say anything
F: she threatened to make us transgender
M: for a fourteen year old she's scary
T: mom mrfinns really helped every time my throat starts to hurt he gives me water,makes sure I take my medicine and stops practice so my throat can get better and ever since Freddy found out he's been helping me cope with it
F&M: now that I think about it we're heroes
I shook my head chuckling
Tm: well we thank you two for that but still you can't spend an education where you actually don't learn
T: he is perfectly capable of teaching us when ms.calpakis came back we found it hard to learn through her methods but mrfinn teaches us through music and puts it in a way so we understand like in poetry if we don't get it he rephrases it like a song or a every day sentence
S: I still don't know how he does it
Td: but-
T: all the facts point to it he's a good teacher and an even better friend
SOR: awwww
T: that's the only time I'm gonna be sappy so don't expect it again
Z: sum was recording
S: it's so beautiful 😢
T: oh my god
Td: fine
They left
T: JUSTICE
L: calm down your voice
T: I knew you would baby me once you found out
I left
Summers POV
I was confused we went to the classroom she wasn't there
Z: what did she mean
F: she didn't tell anyone cause she didn't want people to do what Lawrence did
L: what
M: before if she screamed you wouldn't care but now your overprotective and think she needs help with everything
F: she thinks you see her as weak she doesn't want to be treated differently so that's the reason she didn't tell you guys she didn't even tell us we found out
M: I was smart enough too
S: now I feel bad
Z: yeah
L: me too
F: you have to pretend this never happened whenever I brought it up she would get annoyed and try to leave she doesn't like being treated differently
S: we have to find her
We left we heard her on her phone
T: of course I do....Louie I love you always and forever
Freddy looked crushed
T: are you serious....good enough(laughs)....hmm how about I love you to the moon and back
Freddy was sad
T: hmm...you make me mad imma get the doll...or imma kiss you...what can't handle it..I told you not to call me babe or I'll call you-...no theyre not
She looked at us and rolled her eyes
T: call you back
She hung up
T: what do you want
F: who's Louie
T: my best friend he's like my brother and was the first person who knew about my cancer
Z: he seems important
