Fuck him. Fuck. Fuck him. Fuck Jack. Fuck this entire school. Roberts chuckles as I throw yet another book in the trash. “You will need those you know?” Aaron mumbles. I turn, my eyes narrowed. “And yet I don’t care.” I throw the fifth one in the trash. “I’m BAAAACCCCCCKKKK.” The loudest and most tone-deaf person on this planet screams.

“Charlotte I could care less about your expeditions.” Aaron mutters. “I heard that.” We both scream, jumping off the sofa. “Charlotte what have I told you about sneaking up on those two?” Roberts asks, looking up from his magazine. “Don’t do it so they don’t piss themselves.” Charlotte giggles at our appalled faces.

“Aren’t you supposed to be a good role model?” Aaron asks. “I’m allowing him to throw away all his books. It depends if it’s important or not. This, is not.” I toss another one away. “Why?” Charlotte plants herself between Aaron and me. “Because Nole decided to fuck me over by marking everything up but guess what? I don’t read these books anyway.”

Charlotte looks from Roberts, to Aaron, to me and back again. “He’s still here?” “Yep. I am so close to lighting his head on fire while he sleeps.” I grumble. “Do that and I will have to step in.” Roberts murmurs, scribbling notes down. “But would you stop me?” I prod. “God no. That child is a shitty, spoiled, good-for-nothing asshole.”

Aaron snorts while I smirk, throwing my last book away. “Like I said. Good role model.” He stands up, tossing the magazine away. “Ugh, I hate your parents so much.” Roberts grumbles. “All of ours?” He stares at us with an annoyed look on his face. “Yes, I do. All of them.” Charlotte grabs my hand, wiping paint off her hands.

“I’m not a paper towel; nor a washcloth.” Charlotte chuckles, dropping my hand. “AHH FUCK.” Aaron shouts, startling us. “YOU BLINKED.” Charlotte shouts. I roll my eyes. “He scared me.” Aaron runs out the door before we can ask what’s going on. He comes back two minutes later with a shit ton of boxes. They all fall onto the floor.

“Oh, good lord.” Roberts grumbles. “What is this?” Rose asks, coming out after the loud clatter. “BETTER FOOD.” Charlotte shouts, looking into the boxes. We high-five. Our food is shit otherwise. Funding is zip for the D Ward. “Do they have oranges?” Rose asks. “Yeah.” I grab a banana. “Look.” They watch in horror as I stick it down my throat.

“I’m not gonna ask.” Roberts grumbles, turning back to what he was doing. We spend some time organizing the food before eating dinner. “Please tell me that isn’t who I think it is.” Aaron whispers as the door opens. “Dude, I have to share a room with him.” Aaron hits me with the pillow. “Whenever he says fuck you, I say do it yourself.” Charlotte snickers.

“I mean like, he has people for that.” Aaron mumbles. “Yeah. Think I can stick another banana down my throat?” “NO.” They shout so loudly. “It was horrifying.” Charlotte shudders. “Right. I ate it too.” Aaron sighs. “Of course, you did.” I grin. “Pottasium is important. So is vitamin D.” “OH MY GOD.” Charlotte pushes me off the couch.

“I’m so hurt. You know my ass is in the air now.” I wiggle it a bit. “This just made it worse.” Aaron groans. “You are so mean.” I stand up, sitting back on the couch. “DINNER.” Roberts yells. We clamber over the ouch, sitting in our seats quickly. “Okay so we are gonna have to buy you new books. Nole you need to be back here by 7 or you will be sleeping outside. That’s the rules for everyone else.” Nole doesn’t say anything, just stabs the food on his fork and eats it. Dinner is silent. None of us want to socialize besides Rose. “Damien, I have a question.” I motion for her to continue. “What is being a top or bottom?” I choke, coughing on my food.

Charlotte laughs while helping me not die. “W-where did you hear about that?” I ask, my face red. “Well my friends were talking about it. Said they found these books in a comic shop.” I sigh. I mean it’s not surprising they are thirteen now. Almost fourteen. “She was asking if you were a top or bottom.” I rub my face.

“Is there a top or bottom in normal sex. They said it’s normally talked about for gays. “Do I really have to explain this to you?” I rub my face. “Yep. I promised more information.” Charlotte giggles. Aaron just smirks at me while Nole ignores us and Roberts continues eating. “Okay what do you know about it?” I ask, wanting to know what they need.

“We know that normally the bottoms are smaller, and the tops are bigger. Like stronger or whatever. At least that’s how it is in the books.” I mean, I guess that’s somewhat true. “Okay is that it?” “Yep. Explain.” I hum, holding up my finger so I can have water. “So, you know how boys and girls have sex?” “Yes. I have had sex-ed.” She rolls her eyes.

“Right, well when two gays have sex, the top is the one pleasuring and the bottom is being pleasured. I mean both are happy?” That sounded much less perverted in my mind. “Wait so how do two guys have sex. Most guys don’t have vaginas?” I blush even more. “Okay so uhm… well… oh fuck it. The easiest way is that you get fucked in the ass. I mean you clean and shit, but you essentially get fucked in the ass if you are a bottom and the top does the fucking.” I say as fast as possible.

Roberts looks up, visibly confused. “OHHHHHHH.” Rose mumbles. I groan, my face flaming. “Rose asked Damien how gay sex works.” Aaron is visibly trying to hold in the tears threatening to spill out and he’s holding his stomach since it hurts from laughing. “Oh yes because I’m supposed to give the talks.” I cross my arms, glaring at the entire table.

Nole specifically because he’s an asshole. Roberts snorts. “Yes lets ask him how masturbation-“ I tackle Charlotte. “NO. WE WILL NOT.” I shout in a panic. “Right there is a gay panicking in the wild.” I groan, rolling off her. “Have you had sex?” Rose questions. “I’m not confirming nor denying.” I grumble, sitting up. “Can we please move on?” I beg.

“See, if he was straight, he’d most likely have a boner since he was so close to my lady bits.” Charlotte winks at Rose. “I swear.” I grumble, covering my flaming face. “But alas he is a gay, so he likes it up the ass.” The blush travels to my neck and ears. “You sure he’s gay? He’s blushing.” Aaron taunts. “I know for a fact I am gay.” I mumble. “How do you know?” Rose questions.

“Because I like guys. It’s always been a nagging feeling but then I reacted to uhmm… some stuff and I figured out I was gay. End of story time.” I clap my hands, standing up. Rose giggles, running off. “I think it’s funny.” Aaron grins, slinging his arm around my neck. “I think it’s not something my little sister needs to hear about.” I groan as Charlotte shows me pictures of my red face.

“See nothing turns me on.” Aaron declares. “Yes. We have both changed naked in front of you. Multiple times.” Charlotte grumbles. “Two gays and one who doesn’t love.” I giggle, flopping on the couch. “Yes, so funny to your messed-up brain.” “Hey, we all have messed up brains.” I whine. We spend the next couple minutes going over stuff for school tomorrow before heading off to bed. Well they head off to bed. I stay put, not wanting to see Nole’s face again today. “I only saw it once and that’s enough.” I whisper, sitting on the couch. I’ll take a shower tomorrow.

“Huh?” I mumble, hearing the floorboards creak. Nole peers down at me, confusion etched on his face. “Why are you sleeping here tonight?” I narrow my eyes. “I thought you would like it so my gay disease wouldn’t get onto you.” I sneer.

“I-“ “Now now, am I being to judgmental? Well I mean it’s only fair since you judged me before hearing my side of the story. Oh wait, you are a dickhead so I mean maybe you can’t understand me.” Nole grits his teeth. “I was going to say sorry.” I roll my eyes. “Oh yes, because almost beating me to a pulp and then saying sorry a week later is gonna fix everything.”

“I was knocked out. You know, not everyone loves you. You are an asshole and I won’t fall for anything like that. I know to much is at stake for me to get taunted even more by the whole class for ‘befriending’ you and then a dumb, hurtful, and spiteful prank is played on me. So, save your empty apologies. Save your ‘I want everyone to like me’ facade. Save it for someone who can’t see through it.”

Nole stares at me. “Now I understand truly why Jack hates you. You are a shitty brother.” I shake my head, smirking. “Jack, Jack is not my brother. He’s a homophobic prick who has knocked me countless times just for fun. So, don’t say we are related. Good day sir, don’t talk to me again.” Nole just turns, storming off to his room.

Let’s just say I wasn’t going to sleep tonight. Jack. Fuck this entire school. Roberts chuckles as I throw yet another book in the trash. “You will need those you know?” Aaron mumbles. I turn, my eyes narrowed. “And yet I don’t care.” I throw the fifth one in the trash. “I’m BAAAACCCCCCKKKK.” The loudest and most tone-deaf person on this planet screams.
