(tba) Section 2: Free: Chapter 4
Whew, chapter 4!
Confined: Chapter 4 I walk inside to my living room to see my parents on the brown couch staring at me from their places. My father, his gray fur turned a violent red, yelled at me to get over there. I sit down trying to put on tge most innocent face possible. They knew. I almost was screaming inside, but with the perfection of lying, I play this off as if there's nothing wrong. My mother says, "We know about you and Chrom." I looked to her. "Why won't you keep it a secret?! All you've had to do is lie to everyone, and now you're stabbing us in the back." I get angry, and I start to yell, "You're the ones who're backstabbing! You make me believe that you support me, and then you tell me to Lie to everyone about it so you won't take the heat? I have friends, Mom! Friends who can't really trust me because I live a lie for you! And then you don't even acknowledge me! Dad, you hate me for killing of your bloodline? Do you not want me to be happy? Do you want grandchildren when I won't have a wife who I'll love?! I'm sick of it! Love is never selfish, or wrong, yet you treat me like I'm the most selfish person ever! So what if he's my boyfriend? He would be the only relationship I would have where I actually have feelings about the other person! I can tell you now, that he's the best person I've been around-" My father stands up and smacks me hard with his paw, making blood trickle down my mouth, he yells even fiercer, "Now, go break up with that bitch now! Or else!" "No, or else what!" He looks to his wife and she pulls out a slip of paper. She looks at me hardly, "Since you continue to be so selfish, you're going to boarding school. We're leaving to drop you off on Friday. So, go say bye to your friend." I stumble backwards. I-I'm le-lea-leaving?! She tosses me the brochure that has a brown wooden mansion that looks like it came from the 70's, but it did look high tech, with new technologies shown on the iside tour page. I start tearing up as I walk outside the door and start walking towards the McDonalds a block or two from our house. I get up beside the wall right next to the door that led inside, and I slide down and cry into my grey jacket. I pull out my phone and text him to meet me here as quickly as he could. I soon see him jogging up to the front of the store, slightly confused. I run up to him and hug him. I cry into his shoulder as he looks at me in surprise. "I-I'm sorry, Chrom... There's nothing I can do." "What are you talking about, Blake?" I pull out the flyer for the boarding school, that I now noticed had the name, Bradbury School for Confinement. He took the paper and he stared coldly at it. I stammer, "My parents... They're sending me there." He starts a trickle of tears and I hug him and say how sorry I am again. He looks blankly off into space and asks, "Why would they send you?" I look at
him and sob out, "They found out... They LOATHE the thought of me having a boyfriend. They don't want me to love you." "Blake, I'm so sorry. I should have been more careful... Please don't hate me for this." "No, I will never hate you for this. We shouldn't have to hide this from anyone." I kiss him out of grief and say, "I'm leaving on Friday... I'm going to miss you..." He then pulls my chin up and says, "I know this place... It's right next to my stepdad's house. Maybe I can ask to go there." I look into his eyes... "Wait.. Are your serious? You've go to be joking!" "No, I'm going to try to meet you there. And I'm so sorry about your terrible parents... I'll see what I can do. A promise is a promise, remember?" I pull him into a hug. He nuzzles my neck fur making me tired. "As much as I'd like sleeping with you, I don't want to be mugged by the street people tonight. Thanks" i kiss him lightly on the muzzle and walk him home. I stop and walk inside my house, and my parents ask, "is it done?" "Yes, but I don't want to stay quiet anymore.." I tred up to my room with the last lie I could tell them before I'm going to Bradbury. ----next few days----Section 2: Free: Chapter 4 I can't meet with Chrom the next few days because it will raise suspicions, but I do text him. Thursday, I'm shocked to hear the news that he actually convinced his mother to let him go to school there. He said he wanted to challenge himself, and to further himself in his studies to his parents. Since it is a private school, I guess it has a tougher standard. As I sit in my almost empty room, I notice I would miss this place. Growing up here... You see that dent over there? That was where I kicked my foot in anger once I found out that Harry didn't end up with Hermionie. Stupid, right? I tear up a little as I realized, I wouldn't come back here for awhile. I pack up my new 3ds and Fire Emblem: If (the hype is real lol) , and I sit in the passenger seat for the long ride. It would at least take an hour and a half. I see that we pass multiple green hills, with cows and horses (the untamed/non anthro kind) lazily grazing up the fallen grass. We pass many streams of pure water trickling down the stones to the side of us. There was no road, since we took a shortcut. We soon get out of the car in the off road plain, to see the old Victorian house, brown and cream in color. It had two large support columns holding up the massive 2 story house. As we drive up the cobblestone path, I ser a sign that says, "Bradbury Temporary Lodging" Huh? This wasn't the school? I then see a bright blue building shaped into a U, with I'm supposing 6th grade on the right wing, 7th grade in the middle, and 8th grade on the left wing. At first I thought this was library, It's the school I'm going to! I couldn't help
but get excited for this new opportunity. The school had 3 stories, making the grade wings look like hotels all on their own! They each have a glass outside, showcased the clean, tidy, and marble floored hallways. We drive up a hill overlooking the school and housing unit, and drive up to the school, which was growing larger by the second. We soon push up against the clear doors and enter the commons. I see 2 benches, carved with wood, each beholding an intriguing design, facing each other in the middle of the commons. Branching off from the commons, were two staircases, and two hallways behind them. We walk up this staircase to the balcony, to where we see a tall German Shepard with kakiis shorts and a blue tee with an ad showing the Kalos region, a reigon that is in France all the way across the world. He stops filing papers on a brown coffee table and comes to shake my parents' hands. "Daniel Cove, pleasure to meet your guys. You are Blake's parents, right?" They shake my parents hands and he leads him to his desk. "Here is some paperwork you will have to fill out, plus the housing paperwork that the people sent me from down where you came. And I will need to to borrow Blake for a moment to discuss which classes he'll want to take." I follow the Daniel to his office, which is a few feet in front of us. We walk into his office, which has a few shelves full of books. I run my fingers along them, my fingers collecting dust. He closes the door and asks, "so.. Do you like it here so far?" "I suppose. I mean, who likes getting kicked out of where they live?" "No one does. We just try to soften the blow." I smile. He leans against a bookshelf. I notice how young he is, maybe only 21, his brown fur really nice and young, not the creepy old kind. His tail brushes against the bookshelf. "I have only one question that will allow you to attend this school. Are you gay?" I stand up in suprise, "What? Umm.. No!" I see him flip over a picture of the German Shepherd with another one, only this one was a bit lighter in color. "What kind of school is this?" I asked suprised. "You'll only find out after you anwser my question." I see him look into my soul. Oh what the hell, a professor can't bully me! Just as I'm about the anwser, the door opens, and a lighter brown German Shepherd wearing blue jeans and a green tee oddly advertising Hoenn, another reigon in Japan. He runs up with coffee to Daniel. "Here you go, babe." The shepherd says, kissing him as he handed him the dark brew. He then looked at me in surprise and exclaimed, "A new student?!" Daniel says, "Only if he anwsers the question." I look to them and smile. They were free. Free from fear, free from parents to tell them to hide, free from lieing. "Yes.... I am gay. What is this school though, and why does it
matter so much?" Dan's boyfriend, which I had later known by Allen, said, "This is a school for LGBTQ. We tell parents that we change their kids into straight citizens, but we really provide a safe haven for you. Why should we change you? You are perfect the way you are! I can't believe some sick parents would like to change their children over one simple detail." "You said I get to choose classes?" "Yep! Here is the list." He handed me a sheet of paper with the following classes: 1. Mathematics 2. ICT 3. History 4. Social studies 5. Science 6. Language/ReadingElectable classes: 1. P, E. 2. Art 3. Music 4. Band 5. Positions class *6. Naughty fanfiction 7. Dating class/LGBTQ pride *8. Naughty artist class *open to 7th and 8th grade only I ask "Umm... Explain the electives please" Daniel stood up and said, "You know the primary 4, but you're probably asking about 5-8. In positions class, we give you information on how you can be of use to your mate. Naughty Art and Fanfiction. We know you guys somehow look this up at home, so we aren't gonna take that away, but we are going to teach you how to write your own sexual fantasies. Dating is just dating. Any questions?" "Are you guys doing all the lessons?" "No!no!No! We have multiple teachers, most really young teaching you this stuff." i pick up the pen and say, "how many can I sign up for?" "Four." I place checks by 5,6,7, and 8 and sign my name. Allen snickers, "ah, we have an curious pup, don't we?" "Oh shut up!" I laugh. "Oh! Wait! You forgot to choose your roommate!" "Umm.. My boyfriend... Chrom.. Has he come by here yet?" "Yes, he came here an hour ago! I'll make sure you lovebirds get the same room." He smiles, and I get up. We file out of the office and I say goodbye to the couple. We drive over to where I would be housing and start to unpack the essentials that I brought from home. I finish unpacking and wave by to my parents. I soon walk down the corridor of the first floor, where a man told me Chrom was upstairs. I lug my stuff forward and foumd our room. I knock on the door and he opens it. He gasps and smiles as he kisses into me, our tounges tasting and dancing eachother even harder for the first time we'd been away for a full week. I hug him, but before he could kiss me again, I ask, "Can I put my stuff down first?" Chrom laughs, and I put my stuff in our room to resume our kissing. I would start a new adventure the year or so I would be staying here, with him. I am filled to the brim with excitement! And I channel that into the kiss. Confined. Free Chapter 4
