Hello Everyone! Today is a very special chapters for reasons that you will soon find out.
Before we begin this very special chapter, I will be releasing more details on my new book!
The book is based in 2018, Hawaii. The main character, William, is figuring himself out in more ways then one. William begins dating this girl named Abigail. She seems to be the love of his life at the time. However, as William is walks into study hall, his whole world flipped inside out.
Thank you for all your support. In the next few weeks, I will be presenting more details for the new book. Once again, here is the cover for the new book:
Once I noticed him, my heart dropped. I felt all of this pressure of unspoken secrets, unspoken truths, and unspoken identities pile up on me one by one, slowly restraining my breath. I feel dizzy, as if I cannot see what is right in front of my eyes, however, I can see clearly. The sounds begin to sound bubbly, the noise getting louder and louder and louder. I smell gasoline, I smell sugar, I smell barf, I smell so many scents that my brain can barely comprehend the signals my nostrils are sending.
And then, I faint. I do not remember falling asleep, all I remember is feeling dizzy, and waking up on Katelin's head.
"Hey, wake up dumbass! We are here!" Katelin hits me with her pillow.
"Hey! Stop your shit! What time is it?" I add as I hit her back with my pillow.
"It's 7 AM. We are at the hotel where we will be staying."
"Are you ok?"
"Come on Jared we discussed this already. I never was okay and I never will be. What are you talking about this time?"
"You were all like "This is the hotel where we will be staying at," I say in a high pitched voice.
"Hey, I do not sound like that... and am I not allowed to sound decent?" Katelin asks as she gets ready to get off the bus.
"I never said that it's just you don't sound like you."
"I don't need another boy telling me how I am supposed to sound and act like Jared. Girls aren't property, and you can't be the only person who can decently say words." Katelin snaps back as she aggressively walks away. Also, the whole class heard on the bus and is giving me the look.
"What are you looking at. I didn't mean it in that way!" I answer to the crowd. They give me the look even more.
"Nice going Jared, you screwed up the faggot and her feelings!" Replies one of the students. And coincidentally, the rest of the class starts laughing at his 'joke'.
"You know what Brian! How about you shut the fuck up! Who are you to judge someone based on who they like?" I yell at Brain, the student who called Katelin, a uhhhh. You know.
"The bible says gays were against god!" Adds Brian!
"The bible also says wars are against god, so Trump is against god too!"
"The president is an exception! Being gay is still against God!"
"So is masturbation, so can you be talking???" I snap back, and I notice that Brian is speechless. I also notice that all the students on the bus were filming and gasping as well.
After a moment of Brian not saying anything, I walk off the bus and flip him off. He was still just sitting there breathless.
As I walk off, a bunch of people starts chasing me and telling me I did a good job. All I said was "Thank you" and "I was just defending another human being."
But then when things become overwhelming, I decide to run off and find Katelin. Funny enough, she ran into her room so that way I couldn't talk to her. I guess I have to go to my room then. As I begin walking down the hall to my room, some kids nearly crash into me by racing with baggage carts.
"Hey watch where you are going, dumbasses! Some lives have values!!!" I yell at them. I swear, the do not care about themselves or anyone else.
As I arrive at my room, I hesitate to open the door. I know that Gio is in there, and I know that if I go in there, I am committing myself to him, that is not dating. I am pretty sure though that these rooms have two beds. Lets hope, I do not want to sleep in the same bed as him again.
"Jared! Oh hi, what is wrong?" My teacher scares me as he comes up behind me.
"Oh, nothing, what's up?"
"Oh, well I need your help. The Principle came on the trip as well, and they want to know about this whole SCA proposal is. And I thought there is no one better to explain it than you."
"Oh thank you, Mr. Porter. Let me put my bags inside real quick, and I will meet you where?"
"Oh, just meet me down in the lobby."
"Great." As I walk inside my room to put my bags inside, I see Gio sitting on the bed and he appears to be waiting for me."
"Jared, we need to talk."
"Yes, we do... where can I put my bags I need to meet the principle in a few minutes."
"I meant about us and what we did on that night."
"Maybe later, I have to go. Is it alright if I leave it here?"
"Yeah... that's fine."
"Ok great, I will see you soon."
Gio's P.O.V.
I think Katelin and Jared are not in good terms. They are not acting their usual best friend selves. Usually, they are all over each other. They just look as if there is tension between them right now. Oh, wait, no they are on their phones. I think they are texting each other. Smart, I mean if they were talking the whole bus would know their business. I wonder what they are talking about though.
And now, I think they are on good terms now. Jared and Katelin are practically sleeping on each other now. I don't think I can fall asleep at this point. Watching Jared sleep is the most peaceful thing ever.
A few hours later
Wow, it seems as if Katelin and Jared are back on good terms. They are talking as usual!
"I don't need another boy telling me how I am supposed to sound and act like Jared. Girls aren't property, and you can't be the only person who can decently say words." Katelin practically yells at Jared. I am guessing they are not on good terms then.
And now Jared is defending Katelin from Brian. He looks so hot when he is angry and making a point.
"So is masturbation, so can you be talking???" Jared snaps back at Brian. Oh shit, Jared just rose hell on him! And I think it is the last statement from both parties, Brian is sitting there in deep thought, but you can tell he is embarrassed. And Jared is packing his stuff back up, and yet he still is quite cute.
As I walk off the bus I notice that Jared is swarmed by several students complimenting him. Jared looks overwhelmed. I also beat him to the room we are staying in. And lucky us, we are sharing a bed. I guess I will wait for Jared to talk about us then.
I need to tell him what we did together was special, but that we can never do it again. It was not right, and we aren't dating. I am dating Diego and Diego only. I am not the cheating type. I never would have done that with Jared if I was right in the mindset.
Don't get me wrong, I loved it. It was so surreal compared to all of the other experiences I have ever experienced. And I have never felt that way with Diego the way I feel with Jared. Even if I just look at Jared my heart starts beating uncontrollably. I don't feel that way when I look at Diego.
And I can be... myself with Jared. With Gio, he practically doesn't pay attention to me and I cannot be all lovey dobby with him. He just focuses on himself and his success in SCA. He currently is the most powerful person in SCA right now.
In the current SCA, there is one President for all of High School, Middle School, and Elementary. I am going to remind you that our whole school is made up of every single grade. Then there is one Vice President for every single grade level, except for Pre-K through 3rd Grade. But the way that Diego is the most powerful is basically when there is one General President. That person is the President of the whole school and is elected by the whole school. And guess what, Diego is the General President.
The reason why he was elected was that he promised new lockers, new desks, new school supplies, and a voice when it came to school-wide rulemaking. That's right, at our school student council has 25% of the vote when it comes to new rulemaking. That is awesome when it comes to terms of other schools. Most of the time at other schools the Student Council is a joke. Not here, and that is thanks to Diego.
But, there may be a new star coming to our school... his name is Jared. He is creating a brand new and organized government. We still do not know what is inside his plan yet, but that is because the meeting has been delayed by a week. But trust me, at the meeting where he shared his ideas, it sparked several student's attention. This gave him schoolwide fame. He is equally as popular as Diego. And to be honest, I think Diego is threatened by him because Jared is altering the way our school as a whole. It lies within Jared's hands whether Diego can be powerful or not when it comes to the upcoming school years.
That is one of the main reasons why I love Jared, he is putting Diego in his place. Diego has always been a school politician. And now, Jared is showing him what real politics look like. And I guarantee you, Diego will be voting no when it comes to the last meeting of the constitutional convention.
I will explain more in detail about SCA later on. I need to wait for Jared. And speaking of the devil, Jared walks into the room. And it seems as if he is nervous and rushed. Well, now is a better time than no time.
"Jared, we need to talk," I demand as I stand up from the bed.
"Yes, we do... where can I put my bags I need to meet the principle in a few minutes." Jared asks me as he is looking around the room.
"I meant about us and what we did on that night."
"Maybe later, I have to go. Is it alright if I leave it here?" Jared points to a corner of a room as he walks there.
"Yeah... that's fine."
"Ok great, I will see you soon."
Are you kidding me? Jared paid no focus on me. It is unfair. How come he always is the boss in these situations. He used to do it as well at the GSA meetings. He would take charge. HE ISNT EVEN A LEADER OF ANY GROUP OPINIONS!!! He is not the leader of the straight opinion, which he is labeled within. Note to self, we need to get him out of the straight people group. It is scary in there.
Katelin's P.O.V.
I swear Jared sleeps for shit. He is a deep sleeper. It is annoying because I have to go pee and he won't move because he can't feel me poking his face. Eventually, I just have to slap him to get him to move so I could go to the restroom.
"Hey, wake up dumbass! We are here!" I yell at Jared as I hit him with my pillow.
"Hey! Stop your shit! What time is it?" Jared asks as he basically wakes up, and hits me back.
"It's 7 AM. We are at the hotel where we will be staying."
"Are you ok?"
"Come on Jared we discussed this already. I never was okay and I never will be. What are you talking about this time?"
"You were all like "This is the hotel where we will be staying at," He says in a high pitched voice.
"Hey, I do not sound like that... plus am I not allowed to sound decent?" I ask as I get ready to get off the bus.
"I never said that it's just you don't sound like you."
"I don't need another boy telling me how I am supposed to sound and act like Jared. Girls aren't property, and you can't be the only person who can decently say words." I snap back as I aggressively walk away. Also, the whole class heard on the bus and is giving Jared the disappointment look.
"What are you looking at. I didn't mean it in that way!" I barely hear as I get off the bus. It is honestly hilarious to hear him acting like that. All scared of rejection from other people.
But still, he acts fucked up sometimes. I just have to teach him the lesson of life that you cannot treat people the way he does sometimes. It hurts people, and I don't think he understands that yet. But, to be honest, I don't blame his behavior on him. It is often his parents talking that makes him like that.
And as I walk into the hotel, I look behind me to look if Jared was trying to catch up with me. But then I see Jared swarmed by people appearing to ask him questions and getting pictures with him. All because he treated me like shit. People are honestly crap these days. It is not right the way they treat LGBT people. Not right at all.
But knowing Jared, he is going to try and catch up with me pretty soon, and I am mad at him, so I guess I am just going to try and get to my room as soon as possible. Without Jared having the opportunity to communicate with me in any form.
I run in the hallways, passing by several slow walking people, and passing several people who have hurt me in more ways than one. I feel like I am time traveling through my past. And I tell you, my past is not a very appropriate and pleasing one for a Christian Minecraft server. Well I guess, Jared broke the rules of our server, now we are just anarchy. A server filled with bad people just doing stuff to please themselves. We are practically Roblox at this point.
Wait, I think I passed my room... oh wait. There it is. I do not know who my roommate is because I was too lazy to look up the list online. Well, to be honest, I don't care who I share a room with. There are two beds, so no problem there. Wait, fuck. Where is my key? Wait, I never did get my key. I just got a piece of paper with my room number on it. FUUCCKKKK! I have to walk all the way downstairs now!
It is fine, I will just take the stairs. No one goes down there, and we have all day to ourselves. As I begin walking to the end of the hallway, I begin thinking about me and Nezuko. I asked her out, and she said yes. Yet, we never actually spoke after that instant. Are we even still going to the prom together I hope so. You know what, I will just text her.
Crap, my phone is dead. And right when I get to the boring part. When I got to the stairs. And I am on the 10th floor!!! I have a long walk ahead of me. And I am not looking forward to this walk. I and Nezuko probably don't have anything in common.
I mean, Nezuko is very outgoing and has a very loose style. However, I dress like I don't give a fuck. I wear hoodies 24/7 and wear sweatpants. I am not very athletic, yet she is. I have bad grades, yet she does. I never thought dating would be this simple. Sure, I have a major crush on her, when I walk by her I can barely breathe yet my heart is beating faster than myself when I am trying to process words when I'm talking to her.
And basically, I spend the entire walk of me going down the stairs talking to myself on what I and Nezuko have in common. The only thing that I came up with is that we are in GSA, we have all the same classes, and that we are terrible at public speaking. That may seem like a lot, but not our school. Here, everyone has such a diverse and huge personality. And it shows.
Wait, is that Jared walking with the teacher. Where is he going? I see him walk into a conference room. What did that dumbass do? I guess I will walk by. There is a window and everything. And as I get close to the window, I notice that the principles are talking to him, I think it is about the whole constitution thing and all.
They seem to be liking his idea. That is good, he is working very hard on it. He deserves this. I cannot stay mad at him. Wait, but I have to. He was acting like a complete bitch to me and he deserves to be treated like shit for treating like shit. NO Katelin, do what you walked downstairs to do. Get your damn key to the room.
Jared's P.O.V.
"So, Mr. Suarez, let's hear your idea about changing our whole SCA." Asks the school Principle.
"Yes, so basically... SCA is pretty unorganized when it comes to the jurisdiction of powers. It is never exactly clear who has what job and who carries said jobs out."
"Yes, but how is your idea of going to solve those issues?" The Vice Principal questions.
"Well you see, I want to divide power in SCA into 3 separate branches. The 1st Branch, the legislative branch. The 2nd Branch, the Executive Branch. And the 3rd branch, the Judiciary Branch."
"What powers does each branch have?"
"Well, the legislative branch will consist of 2 chambers. A Senate and a House of Representatives. Each branch will focus on passing bills, however, they are different in many ways."
"Well, how are they different then?"
"Well, the Senate shall have one Senator from each grade level, 4th grade to 12th. The House shall consist of 1 representative for 2 classrooms within a grade."
"Are there any other differences between them?"
"The Senate has the power to approve or veto and Executive Branch appointees, and approve any other treaties. The House has the power to launch constructive investigations into any officeholder. They also control SCA's budget. Whenever they want to do anything with SCA's money, they do so in a bill. If the bill is $100 or less, they do not need the approval of the Senate or the Executive."
"They seem to have pretty powerful powers. How do you know we can trust them with that power?"
"Well, in SCA we do have checks and balances. I will get there in a sec. Let me explain the Executive Branch first."
"Go ahead."
"The Executive Branch shall have one vote altogether. That vote shall consist of 50% to the President. The other 50% shall be divided into three. Each third of that 50% will belong to a Vice President."
"Wait, you did not say anything about President's and Vice President's!"
"Well yes. There will be one President school-wide. They must be in 8th Grade and above to be the President. But there will also be one Vice President for High School, Middle School, and Elementary School."
"Sounds reasonable."
"And now, the Judicial Branch. They are the most powerful out of all of them."
"How are they that powerful?"
"The Judicial Branch shall consist of all SCA Sponsors, the school admin, and other appointed students or adults."
"Why are we in it?"
"The reason is that you are essential. Whenever SCA will try to make a big bill and petition a rule change or something, that would need your final approval to do so."
"How come?"
"Well, we wouldn't want to break the rules now, would we. Let me explain the Judicial Branch in more detail. Before anyone introduces a new bill or wants to investigate another officeholder, they would need the approval of the Judicial Branch before doing so. And for a bill to become a law, it would need the approval of the Judicial Branch too. After it passed the House, Senate, and the Executive."
"That sounds... reasonable!"
"I know, and I hope everyone else in the current SCA would agree. We need a majority's approval of all the officers."
"Ok, sounds great. And I have one last question. Why do you want to do all this in the first place?"
"Well, the first reason would probably be because I am new here. And I say that because new kids are the only ones who see problems in the way the school is being run. SCA is broken and does not have any organization. Because SCA has about 25% of the vote when it comes to new school rules, it is crazy that we are this unorganized."
"I agree. I have never thought about that before."
"But second, I felt that SCA was not representing our school as a whole. If we would want to be represented and heard, then there should be more offices in SCA for people to hold and share their opinions. It is one thing to be represented, but it is an even bigger thing if you were heard."
"Amen. Thank you, Jared. Is there anything else?"
"Umm, yes actually. I do need your help."
Katelin's P.O.V.
I guess I am going to take the elevator again. I can barely feel my legs. I was not kidding when it came to me being lazy. As I pushed the button to the elevator, everything went silent. I just entered a dream world. I could see myself, walking to school with Jared. We are both laughing at a terrible joke my dad made the other day.
As we turn the corner, Gio surprises Jared, and I. Jared practically runs to him and jumps in his arms. They are both laughing and making out. They keep kissing and kissing and kissing each other. Eventually, they just walk off without me. They start walking to school... without me. Are they forgetting me? Why, did Jared forget me? He didn't even say bye...
I have not walked to school by myself in weeks. It is lonely. I feel like a mouse in a cage, separated from its family. Jared was my family. Now, I am the mouse stuck in the cage. The only difference was I was not separated. I was forgotten. Knowing that no one fought for me is just, sadder than the thought of never seeing my family again.
I enter this dark reality. I visualize all of the things I fear losing in my life. I see my old self before I transitioned. I fall and continue to fall in an endless black pool filled with hatred. A paramount hatred that is bigger than me and stronger than me.
I am swarmed by Trump supporters. Throwing every single possible thing they could find at me. Chasing me down the street with guns and knives. I trip and fall onto the dark pavement, and I begin feeling intense pain in my nose. As I stand up, I look around. I am in my old room. The room that was designed for a boy. I open my closet and my parents come out screaming at me.
They kick me out of the house. They push me out the door, and as I fall... I see the fire surrounding me. I fall on knives, sensing the scorching pain all around my body. Incisions of knives, leaking liters and liters of blood on the floor. The fire comes closer and begins burning all my blood and skin. I get a knife and slit my throat.
As soon as I do so, I wake up in my bed. All wet from sweat and hot as a burning torch. I get up from the bed and exit my room intending to walk downstairs. I feel a sudden push down the stairs and I fall to the bottom. I look up at the top of the stairs, and I see Nezuko. As I try to stand up, I am pulled down and enter an alternate universe.
I appear to be tied up in a dark room, I look around and I see Jada and Sarah walking towards me. I suddenly lose my breath. I cannot breathe. I feel pain all over my body due to the lack of oxygen in my bloodstream. The chair falls over and the floor turns into this paramount dark pool. I cannot breathe in this liquid. I drown and feel all the cells in my body suffocating.
I wake up in the school infirmary. I am strapped to the medical bed. All of my most trusted friends and family members walk up in front of me. Jared walks in front of all of them. He tells me I am a boy and never will be anything else. I begin screaming at the top of my lunges. I cannot find a way to escape from this never-ending story.
All of them start stripping me of my clothes. I see my body naked, as I used to look like before I transitioned. I am horrified. I suddenly feel all of the pain from my other nightmares all at once. My back snaps into 5 pieces. My skull is crushed, my nose is busted, my arms are ripped off, I gave every single laceration of the knives I fell on. My chest is ripped off and bleeding every single ounce of blood all across my skin. My whole body becomes burned, black, and scaly. Jared steps forward and sticks his hand in my chest. This is the worst pain of them all. He yanks out my heart. My heart is in his hand. He then stabs it with a knife and throws it up in the air. It is about to land on my face, and then I wake up on the floor of the hotel, with people surrounding me. And I see Jared crying over me.
