In regards to Kayden mentioning he played the drums too. “No way, mate. Always nice to meet a fellow drummer. Don’t worry about being rusty, it’s like riding a bike, right? Once you’re back at it, muscle memory kicks in. We’ll have to jam sometime!”

Then Kayden mentioned he recently wasn’t an only child anymore, to which Jasper replied, “Oh, really? Until last year?” Jasper’s conveyed genuine interest and empathy. “That must’ve been quite an adjustment. I can imagine it’s a big change to suddenly have a sibling, especially if you were used to being on your own. How’s that been for you?”

“History and Geography, huh? That’s cool. It’s always interesting to learn about different places and the stories behind them,” Jasper responded with a friendly smile. Then Kayden said he would have never guessed Jasper did theatre, and it wouldn’t be Jasper if he didn’t add in some theatrics in his reply. “Well, my dear friend,” Jasper said, his voice taking on a melodramatic tone, “the stage is where the magic happens! One moment, you’re just an ordinary bloke, and the next, you’re whisked away to fantastical realms, embodying characters beyond your wildest imagination!” He gestured dramatically with his hands, emphasizing his point as if he were delivering lines in a Shakespearean play. “You see, theatre isn’t just about pretending; it’s about becoming someone else entirely, if only for a fleeting moment,” Jasper continued, his voice carrying a hint of theatrical flair. He then couldn’t help but let out a laugh himself about his impromptu acting. “So yeah, that’s what I do. I guess theatre isn’t something that people expect from me at first glance,” Jasper chuckles softly, his tone warm and friendly. “But it’s been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. There’s just something about the stage that feels like home to me, you know?”

Victoria could feel a surge of emotion as she witnessed Katrina’s distress. “I’m truly sorry to see you in such pain, Katrina,” she offered sincerely, sitting down quite close on the couch to provide comfort. Retrieving a tissue from her bag, she extended it to Katrina, a silent gesture of support.

The anger simmered within Victoria as she reflected on Leo’s actions at the party, his cheating, him being with her for a dare. It was so much, and Katrina didn’t deserve any of it, and quite frankly, Victoria couldn’t remain silent about her thoughts on him. “That chap, Leo? He’s a right prat, isn’t he?” she remarked, her tone tinged with disdain. “Thinking he can treat you in such a manner is beyond reproach. You deserve kindness and respect, Katrina, nothing less.”

Placing a reassuring hand on Katrina’s shoulder, Victoria continued, her voice firm yet empathetic. “You’re an exceptional person, Katrina. No one should ever make you feel otherwise. Relationships are built on mutual respect and support, qualities Leo seems to lack. You’re stronger than you realize, and you deserve someone who recognizes your true worth. Without a doubt, you’re better off without him.” She gave Katrina a small smile as she got up from the couch.

“Now, allow me to prepare a cup of tea and attend to the final touches for our lunches. I’ll rejoin you in a moment.” She turned on the kettle before turning to the table where she had dropped the lunch bags, and opened them up. She had picked up a couple of different sandwiches for them to have for lunch. She put some on the paper plates she had brought from the canteen and dropped them off at the side table next to Katrina. Then she went back to pour the hot water and make some tea for them to enjoy. She walked back to Katrina with two cups of tea in her hands and then said, “I understand it’s not much, but I thought having something simple at hand to eat might help, especially during times like this when the emotional toll can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming.”

The next afternoon, Greer was headed to lunch, their headphones yet again, over their ears. Due to this, they couldn’t hear the din of the hallway, much to their liking. Though, due to this, they had to keep an eye out so they didn’t run into anyone as they walked. Greer was quietly humming along to the song playing, which abruptly stoped when they spotted a familiar head of pink hair through the crowd. Awkwardly fighting their way through the lunch rush, Greer moved up to walk beside the figure. Nearly getting hit by a backpack, Greer ducked. ”Hey Izzy! How was your summer?!” They yelled over the noise of the hallway, tapping their friend on the shoulder so she’d turn to see them.

As Izzy was heading over to lunch, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around and noticed Greer standing there. Immediately a smile painted Izzy’s face, she was happy to see a familiar face once again. Greer was someone she genuinely appreciated, she had never felt like the weird kid with them. Like Greer was one of the rare people who just seemed to accept her for who she was. “Hey, Greer!” she exclaimed, her voice carrying excitement and warmth despite the chaos around them. “You won’t believe how amazing my summer was! So, I went back to Mexico, right? It was an absolute dream. The vibrant colors, the lively streets, the aroma of delicious street food lingering in the air - it was like stepping into a painting every day.” She said, seeming dreamingly lost in the Mexican streets again. “I spent hours just wandering around, soaking in the rich culture and gorgeous sights. Oh, and the festivals! You know how festive things get in Mexico. It was a whirlwind of music, dance, and celebration. I swear, every corner had a story to tell, and I tried to capture it all in my sketchbook.” In an automatism her hand went to to backpack she was carrying to get it out, until she realised she was no longer constantly carrying it with her and it was in her room.

“Well, I guess I’ll have to show you some other time.” She smiled apologetic, before continuing on her rambling, “And the food, oh my goodness! I practically lived on tacos and churros. You haven’t experienced true bliss until you’ve had authentic Mexican street tacos. And the flavors, Greer, they were like a dance on my taste buds. I even tried making some of the recipes myself when I got back. Spoiler alert: it was a delicious disaster!” She chuckled as she said this, while she was half Mexican, she definitely did not master the cuisine. While the result had been tasty, the process might have been even messier than her average paining process. No, Izzy was a lot, but she was not a kitchen princess.

“But you know what made it truly special? Spending time with my family, hearing their stories, sharing laughter, and making memories that will last a lifetime. It’s moments like these that remind me of the beauty of my heritage and the richness of the culture that runs through my veins.” These trips, even if they were rare, they always made her proud of her Mexican heritage. It was something that meant a lot to her, even if while she was in the States she often blended more in the American side of her heritage, often people were surprised to find out Izzy was half Latina. But she was equally as American as she was Mexican, so these summers in Mexico were very much freeing to her. She could seamlessly blend with a part of her identity she could never fully reach back in the States.

“I could go on and on, Greer, but suffice it to say, my summer in Mexico was nothing short of amazing.” She said, deciding she had to cut herself off, even if she could keep talking about it for hours. “How about you? How was your summer, remind me, what were you doing again?” Izzy remembered Greer had told her before the summer break about their summer plans, but her mind couldn’t needed a reminder. She felt a little guilty she hadn’t remembered their plans, but nevertheless gave them a smile in excitement to hear about their summer.

As soon as Izzy mentioned Mexican food, Greer’s mouth started inadvertently watering. It definitely didn’t help that they hadn’t eaten lunch yet. If Greer loved Americanized Mexican food, they could only imagine how good the real thing tasted. They had to swallow again. ”What was your favorite thing you ate there? If you can’t pick just one, give me your top three.” When Izzy’s hand went to her backpack, Greer laughed. ”Hey, no problem. You can totally show me some other time. If you’re not busy, maybe I’ll come over after class. I want to see what souvenirs you brought, too.” When tacos were mentioned, Greer’s eyes grew huge, and they wiped their mouth. Yeah, they definitely needed to eat lunch before Izzy practically killed them with her vacation stories about food. ”Tacossss…” Greer muttered. To anyone who didn’t know Greer, they would look feral. They weren’t, though. Just food obsessed and hungry. Snapped back to reality when Izzy started talking about her family, they stopped dreaming about churros. [color=violet]”That’s great that you got to hang out with your family and learn more about your heritage.”[color=violet] Izzy then asked about them, and they smiled. ”We really just went to visit my grandparents and the rest of my family. Just your typical summer. We didn’t do much, but it was still fun.”

“Greer, I totally get it! Mexican food has that effect on people,” Izzy chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement at Greer’s reaction. “Hmm, picking just one favorite dish is like trying to choose a favorite color of the rainbow!” Something Izzy for the record always struggled with, all colours were simply too beautiful and deserving of appreciation. Whether it be blue, pink, green, yellow, orange, she all appreciated them equally. "But if I had to narrow it down, I’d say the street tacos were definitely at the top of my list. There’s something about the combination of tender meat, fresh cilantro, and tangy salsa that’s just irresistible. She could feel her mouth water at the memory of the authentic Mexican tacos. “And churros, oh my goodness, the sweetness and cinnamony flavour is like a little piece of heaven,” Izzy exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with delight at the thought, “And those fresh fruit cups with Tajin? Absolutely amazing! The blend of flavors is like a burst of sunshine in every bite,” she added, her voice filled with genuine enthusiasm and appreciation for the culinary delights she experienced.

When Greer suggested coming over after class, Izzy’s smile widened, appreciating the interest in her summer and the potential for a fun get-together. She was certain it would be a good time if they came over. “Absolutely! I’d love to show you some sketches and souvenirs and maybe we can even whip up some tacos together, I still have some ingredients left” she suggested as her eyes were gleaming with excitement at the prospect of sharing her experiences with a friend and having some Mexican food together. “Prepare for it to get messy, though,” she added as she chuckled.

As the conversation shifted to family and Greer’s summer, Izzy listened attentively, her genuine interest shining through. “Wow, it sounds like we both had summers filled with family time,” Izzy remarked, her tone reflective and empathetic. “There’s something really special about those moments, isn’t there? Just being surrounded by loved ones, sharing stories, and creating memories together.” Her eyes lit up with a shared sense of appreciation for the simple joys of family bonds. “Even if it was just your ‘typical’ summer, those moments with your grandparents and family are what make it truly memorable. It’s those little moments of connection that really make life meaningful.”

Koda

The girl started to talk and asked if I was okay and called me sweetie then she yelled once the food was dumped om her clothing and hair and he was just laughing and smiling at her reaction. He will never say this to her but he liked how she doesn’t back down and is standing up for herself, she got some spice to her. In his mind she wasn’t bad looking either but he still wanted Roux. As she was yelling Koda just rolled his eyes, he never understood why girls get so upset over this stuff I mean they can just shower and change clothes just like he would.

“Sheesh girl calm the hel down it is not a big deal you can just change clothes. Also you may want to stop yelling so much or you will lose your voice and we can not have that, now can we pretty woman” He was happy that Piper and Roux were not here because they would probably be pulling him away or bitching at him for how he is being an ass.

@idiot.exe - Hope

Kayden laughed when Jasper started to speak with a little theatrics in his voice as he was speaking. He never knew that he was this funny and that he liked on how he was trying to be friendly with him and talk to him. He also mentioned about how they should jam out since he played drums as well and that he drumming skill will come back. “You are a funny guy you know that? You do have a point there on the skills coming back eventually and I hope they will to be honest.”

Before Kayden answered Jasper about the sibling thing he just looked at him for a moment not in a bad or mean way he just needed a minute to think what he wanted to say and what he was comfortable with saying. “Yeah it was an adjustment especially since my sister didn’t want anything to do with me and was mean to me but she eventually came around after like a month or so. But to be fair she was an only child for 14-15 years of her life as well like I was so it was an adjustment, but me especially since I didn’t have money or anything I lived in a 2 bedroom small apartment while now it’s a way bigger house with a sister and different people to live with.”

Kayden took a drink of his water and once he was done he answered back about the History and Geography comment. “Yeah it is interesting to learn about the stories ad culture. But also it’s nice to hear about because it also takes you away from your reality for a little bit as well you know.”

Ezra still kept his arm around Braxton’s shoulder as they got in line for food. “Ok but if you need a nap just let me know also. Dont let me keep you up that late again. Im going to set an alarm for an enforced bedtime because Im not letting you drag this bad again.” Ezra smiled but felt bad that he had made Braxton into a sleep deprived zombie. “I honestly dont even know what my lunch options are. I probably will honestly go with whatever looks the best. I mean you know my food standards arent that high.” Ezra admitted as he thought about one of the many times that he had eaten something and Braxton had called him disgusting for it.

Teo’s eyes went wide when Birdie said he had eleven siblings. That was a massive amount. There was no way that was right unless they were really spread out in age or some were half siblings or something. What Birdie said next made it all make sense though. It was his chosen family and honestly that was super respectable. “Honestly thats super cool that you kind of made your own family out of people who care about you for you not your blood or any social construct like that. You still close with most of them?” Teo was really hoping this would all work out Ken seemed like a really interesting guy that he would love to know better. “Diego just turned seven this year honestly he is a great kid. Freaked out when Cam was getting ready to leave and then absolutely lost it when he found out I was going too. Broke my heart and almost got me to stay back home. I absolutely adore him.” Teo almost pulled out his phone to show Ken a picture of him and Diego that he had as his background. “Yeah and identical twin Cam.” he giggled a little at the thought of the old myth that twins could feel each other’s pain. “I mean sometimes but not always so im not sure if it is a coincidence type situation or not.” Teo shrugged honestly not sure.

Teo nodded in understanding when Birdie said it had been both that he was talking about. He could understand that but it was nice to know they were in the same boat even if it was the same not so great boat.

Teo was trying not to get too nervous over the whole situation but with diagnosed chronic anxiety that wasnt really working too well for Teo. He was trying to focus on his breathing and kept a rather tight grip on the fabric of his pant leg hoping it would help ground him a bit. He let out a huge sigh of relief when Ken said it was cool but Teo could tell there was confusion all over Ken’s face. “Um well its not really a homophobic thing I mean I am bi but that really doesnt have anything to do with me being trans.” Teo looked at Ken and furrowed his brow as he moved a little closer. “Ken do you know what I mean when I say Im trans?” honestly Teo didnt ever mind sharing and educating as long as it was all in a respectful manner. “Its ok if you don’t I mean im willing to explain it.” Teo smiled softly at him. He wanted Ken to know it was a safe place to ask questions if he didnt know. Teo wouldnt take it personally and was willing to be the one to explain it.

Greer swallowed yet again when Izzy mentioned tacos. They listened to her explain, nodding. ”Oh my god, that sounds amazing. Wait, I’m not drooling, am I? That would be really awkward…” They groaned, instinctively wiping their mouth. At the mention of something they didn’t recognize, Greer cocked their head. ”What’s Tajin? I haven’t heard of it. Honestly, I don’t know much about authentic Mexican food in general. Only Texmex, really.” Greer’s eyes nearly fell out of their head when Izzy mentioned they had authentic ingredients. They quickly nodded. ”Oh, definitely. I’ll probably never want to go back to American tacos again, but whatever. I’m so in.” They smiled. ”Oh, definitely. It doesn’t matter wherever you are, as long as your family’s there.”

“You still close with most of them?” Ken nodded, a smile on his lips. “Yep, as close as long distance siblings can be.” It did give him a small ache, not seeing all of them so often, but he truly did love them all like brothers and sisters. “Diego just turned seven this year honestly he is a great kid. Freaked out when Cam was getting ready to leave and then absolutely lost it when he found out I was going too. Broke my heart and almost got me to stay back home. I absolutely adore him.” Birdies heart went out for him. “I’m such a sucker for small children, I probably would have caved.” He admitted.
“I mean sometimes but not always so im not sure if it is a coincidence type situation or not.” Birdies eyebrows just went up, imagining it. “Still, pretty epic.” he mused.

“Um well it’s not really a homophobic thing I mean I am bi but that really doesn’t have anything to do with me being trans.” Oh. That totally threw him off. “Ken do you know what I mean when I say Im trans? … It’s ok if you don’t I mean im willing to explain it.” Ken looked down in the floor, slightly embarrassed he didn’t know. Or at least, couldn’t figure out this persons reality. “I guess I don’t really know,” he nervously said, adding on a wobbly chuckle. He blushed, thinking that chuckle probably made it more awkward on his end, or sounding like he didn’t care. “Yeah, I have no clue here.” He finally admitted, looking up sheepishly.

“Thanks, mate! I try to keep things light and amusing whenever I can,” Jasper replied with a grin, appreciating Kayden’s laughter and the way he engaged in their conversation. “And hey, don’t worry too much about the drumming. It’s like they say, practice makes perfect, right? We’ll get you back in the groove in no time.”

Upon hearing Kayden’s reflections on his recent adjustment to having a sister and their living situation, Jasper’s expression softened with empathy. He listened attentively, understanding the complexities of family dynamics and the challenges that come with significant changes in living arrangements. “Sounds like it was a bit of a rocky start, and a big transition for both of you. Adjusting to a new living situation can be tough, especially with different dynamics and people involved.” He gave him a small smile, and said, “I’m glad to hear though things have improved between you and your sister.”

When Kayden mentioned the appeal of learning about different cultures and histories, Jasper showed his agreement, perhaps adding, “Absolutely. I can see how learning about other places and cultures can be like taking a mini vacation from reality. I imagine it’s a nice escape sometimes.”

“Oh, Greer, you’re too funny!” Izzy chuckled, her eyes crinkling with amusement at Greer’s reaction to the mention of tacos. “Don’t worry, no drooling detected… yet!” she teased, flashing a playful grin.

“Tajin is like this magical seasoning that adds a zesty kick to fruits and snacks,” Izzy explained, her hands gesturing animatedly as she spoke. “It’s a blend of chili powder, lime, and salt, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer! It’s like the secret ingredient that makes everything taste better,” she added, her voice filled with excitement. “As for Tex-Mex, it’s tasty too, but there’s something special about authentic Mexican flavors, so I bet you really don’t wanna go back,” Izzy continued, her eyes lighting up with passion for her culture’s cuisine. “You’re in for a treat, Greer!”

“For real, I’m thrilled you’re coming over!” Izzy exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.“It’s going to be so much fun cooking up some tacos together and sharing stories. I can’t wait to show you a little piece of my culture through food and the drawings I’ve made!” Izzy’s enthusiasm radiated through every gesture and expression, becoming a vibrant energy that couldn’t be contained. As she spoke about their upcoming get-together, her eyes lit up with excitement, and a contagious smile played on her lips. She couldn’t help but gesture animatedly once again, using her hands to paint an imaginary canvas of the fun they would have. Cause one thing Izzy knew for certain, is that it would be so much fun having Greer over.

Izzy’s smile widened at Greer’s words about family, a soft warmth spreading across her features. There was a quiet understanding in their shared sentiment about family, a recognition of the simple yet profound moments that truly mattered. “Absolutely,” Izzy replied, her voice carrying a gentle sincerity. “Family has this amazing way of making any place feel like home, right?” Her eyes reflected a depth of emotion, mirroring the sentiment of connection and belonging that Greer’s words had evoked.

Greer had to laugh at themselves. It would’ve been pretty funny if they started drooling like a cartoon character. They listened to Izzy’s explanation of tajin, nodding. ”That sounds really good. I’m excited.” They grinned excitedly. ”I’d bet I’m in for a treat. I’m sure you’re a great cook.” Greer laughed, Izzy’s excitement downright infectious. ”I can’t wait to see your sketches. The ones you’ve shown me before have been awesome.” They laughed at her wild gesturing, their cheeks hurting from how much they were smiling. Izzy just had that effect on people. Even Greer, who was a relatively calm person, could get excited and energetic around Izzy. ”Home is where the heart is, am I right?”

Teo smiled he was happy to hear that Ken was still close with his siblings even if they were long distance for some. “Thats really good to hear and honestly its pretty great having siblings. I mean you always know someone has your back makes you feel a bit less alone in this world.” Teo just let his mind wander to Diego and Cam and how Cam was always there to support him and how he would do just about anything and everything if Diego needed him at all. “Yeah I was going to cave but my mom wouldnt let me. I was a mess on the way here because i was ready to turn around and go back to him. Ive called home every night since ive been here though. He still misses me like hell and I miss him so much too but I know ill see him over breaks. Its just too far to go for a little weekend trip or anything like that unfortunately.” Teo sighed as he thought about Diego and his parents honestly he was pretty homesick but was hoping that the longer he was here the more people he met the better he felt about being here.

Teo didnt want to make Ken feel bad if he honestly didn’t know what being trans meant but Teo needed to know if he was ok with it because if he was Teo honestly thought they would make really good roommates but he didnt want anyone to be uncomfortable and forced to live it if Ken was not ok with it. Teo moved a little closer to Ken so that he could let Ken know that it really was ok that he didn’t know. Teo smiled at him and sat next to him. “Well Im a guy but I was born an Identical twin to my sister.” Teo took a deep breath. “I was born a girl physically Birdie. Im a boy and Ive always been a guy like in my head and shuff. But my mom thought I was just a really big tomboy when I was little. I knew it was more than that but I didnt know the words for it so I just kind of had a breakdown with my dad one day about how kept calling me his daughter and it really upset me because I wanted to be his son and we talked about it. But I hope that makes it a little more clear at least what being trans is for me.” Teo gently nudged his shoulder. “But im pretty open about it so you can always ask if you have questions Ill answer them.”

Kayden smiles when Jasper said Mate. Brex was right when he said Jasper was nice and he liked how Jasper didn’t really ask any questions about why a sudden change or who the people were. Kayden liked Jasper and feels like they could be friends or at least good acquaintances but he wasn’t sure if he was ready t get into the whole situation yet with him, maybe he would the more he got a chance to know each other. “Yeah dude you are correct practice makes perfect. wouldn’t it be kinda cool if we could start a band like with us three and see if we could find a singer or something. I can try to learn a different instrument since you also play drums. And thanks man I appreciate the support”

He gives a genuine smile to Jasper and continues to eat before continuing the conversation. “Yeah it was a big transition but we also came from two different places to. She grew up rich and spoiled and an only child and I was poor and lived in a very small 2 bedroom apartment with my parents. So she wasn’t happy sharing while I was amazed at the house and the families lifestyle and would never take advantage of them or that lifestyle. But yeah i’m happy my sister and I are on better terms its now easier to be at the house.”

Kayden was trying to think of another question to ask Jasper since he wanted to get to know him better and get closer to him as well. “Yeah it eally is a good escape sometimes. What would you say is your worst quality about yourself?” Kayden figured if Jasper and Brex were going to be hanging out a lot maybe it would be a good thing for Kayden to earn the good and bad traits or qualities of Jasper. He knows everyone has good and bad thins about themselves.

Finn was confused by Shiloh and the way she greeted him. He didn’t understand her at all anymore. It was like since he got close to Kayden he separated from her. She greeted him seemingly because they were next to each other in line. Finn o course had his camera around his neck. Finn smiled at Shiloh “Hey Shi. What’s up with you? Not much with me. Just working hard in these classes o course.” He said with a sweet smile to her.

Lorenzo was in line in the cafeteria. He was waiting to get his food. All of a sudden someone bumped into him. He felt an hand on his arm. He turned his head and saw Adrian. “Dude. Where have you been? Like I mean we are roommates and I haven’t seen you in a few days.” He felt that Adrian was avoiding him but didn’t want to just jump into that. He wondered what happened between Adrian and Chloe the night of the party.

She noticed the camera around his neck a said “Aren’t you afraid you’re gonna break that? One push from somebody from behind and it becomes an expensive piece of broken equipment.” He greeted her but called her Shi and sheeee did not liek that. “I’m great, and I’m excited to try out for Volleyball. But please, don’t ever call me Shi again. It sounds like the first half of an insult.” He smiled at her and she thought it was the cutest smile he’s pulled in a while. Usually she would hide it when she thought he was charming, nice or cute, but remembering the conversation she had with Victoria a few days ago, she realized she doesn’t need to hide it anymore. So she said it out loud. “Aww you’re so adorable. You have such a cute smile.” I mean what could go wrong when he’s tehnically no longer her rival?

“Thats really good to hear and honestly it’s pretty great having siblings. I mean you always know someone has your back makes you feel a bit less alone in this world.” Ken couldn’t help but agree with Mateo. Having a tight-knit group of friends who felt like family did make the world feel a little less lonely. He thought about all the adventures, laughs, and late-night talks he had shared with his friends back home. They were his support system, his confidants, his partners in crime. “I know what you mean,” Ken replied, a wistful look in his eye. “Having that kind of bond with people who truly care about you is something special. It’s like having a built-in safety net, you know?”

“It’s just too far to go for a little weekend trip or anything like that unfortunately.” Ken nodded. “It’s tough being away from family, especially when you have someone at home who relies on you like that,” Ken sympathized. Ken could see the bond between Mateo and his child was a powerful one, and he respected Mateo’s commitment to staying in touch. “I’m sure your brother appreciates hearing from you every day, even if it’s just a quick call. And like you said, you’ll get to see each other during breaks and make the most of that time together.”

“But im pretty open about it so you can always ask if you have questions I’ll answer them.” Ken thought for a moment, his curiosity piqued by Mateo’s story. He wanted to understand more about what being a trans boy meant for Teo. Taking a deep breath, Ken gathered his thoughts before asking, “Teo, if you don’t mind me asking, you mentioned that you were born a girl physically but have always identified as a guy in your head. So does that mean you feel like you were born in like, the wrong body?” Ken wasn’t even sure how to phrase his questions. “And is being trans different than being in the… LGBT…Q? Community?” Ken prayed that he had said the right letters.

Ezra smiled and hugged Braxton as they moved up in the lunch line for food. “I mean there isnt much that is going to stop me from talking you ear off like that every night. Thats why Ill make a bed time and stick to it and stop talking when that time rolls around.” Ezra said biting his lip. Ezra leaned his head on Braxton. “I know we had a lot to catch up on but I still feel bad for depriving you of sleep. I mean what if you would have had like a really hard class today of something?” Ezra sighed. “Im sure i will too I mean im not really picky but any food will be better just with your company around to enjoy it with.” Ezra smiled and wondered if Brxaton would ever take his little flirty moments like that for what they were really. Not friendly little soft flirting but actual flirting. Ezra just wasnt very good at making the two very different.

When he saw the pure excitement in her body language and her eyes when he asked her if she liked art, he realized she more than enjoys it or likes to look at it or scribbles. That realization made him excited because drawings, paintings and photography in general are very important to him. When she said “yes… Art is my passion. drawing, sketching, painting and digital art.” It comnfirmed his observation and he replied with “Seriously? I love painting as well. It helped me through my childhood trauma. Withouth art or photography I don’t know where I’d be. How did you fall in love with art? Or was the passion for it just withing you since you knew about yourself?” Knowing there is a student in here passionate about art made him want to talk to that student about nothing else.
