"Well, I'm sure you've read the latest in school news," Luciano replied, leaning forward like he was about to tell Ireland some great big secret that wasn't really a secret anymore at all, considering the whole school knew everything at this point. "My church group usually meets in the choir room before school, but I was informed this morning that I'm no longer welcome there." Luciano smiled at Ireland like he wasn't two seconds from having a mental breakdown, gesturing to the books and shrugging. "Reading is cool, though. It's good for you. I can see why you like it."

"Oh, believe me, sweetheart, I've checked it. Is that it? I don't blame you, I'd probably be pretty freaked out if it was me the dude liked," Pluto commented, laughing uncomfortably. See, despite the fact Pluto himself was also very gay, coming out wasn't exactly on his agenda. When you have two openly gay younger brothers, it just gets weird at that point. And so distancing himself from anyone remotely LGBT was about the best he could manage. Except for the part where that sometimes caused some really big problems. "But I don't see why you stormed out, still. It's not like you swing that way. If I were you, I'd just beat some sense into him. I mean, that's a little violent, but it gets the point across."

"You know me so well," Pranav said, smiling a little at Maya before taking a piece of gum and thanking her. He leaned back against his locker before sticking it in his mouth, this time turning to face the girl. She seemed harmless enough, and Pranav was sure that if she somehow managed to be It, he'd be able to find away to pass it on to someone else before the end of the day. God, he hated how much he had to worry about this stupid game. "I can trust that you're not trying to spill all my secrets to the world, right?"

Romeo gives Pluto the most unamused expression when he tells him to beat some sense into Luciano for something he can't help. "Seriously, sir? That's your best idea? Wow, that says a lot about you." He says, sneering a bit and looking away. He tries to force back his smile, but he ends up laughing anyway. "Pluto, what the heck! I don't understand the things you say, sometimes. It's not really his fault, and there's nothing I can do about except for feel like an awkward idiot." He admits, leaning back and sitting on the hood of his car. Romeo was straight, wasn't he? So why did Luciano like him? Why did he like him at all, is the question.

Omera gasps and drops her books when someone runs into her, whipping around to see who it was. Seeing that it was just Tyler, she smiles a bit. "It's okay." She chirps, bending down to pick up her books before popping back up and facing Tyler. "You good?" She asks, seeing him looking down at his feet like he was embarrassed or something. He really didn't have to be, it was an accident obviously. Well, now Omera felt a bit bad for being in the way.

"Except, it kind of is," Pluto points out, going off on one of those tangents he knows he's going to regret later. "I mean, he's the one who chose to be gay and to like you of all people. Like I said, that's what I'd do in your position. I don't want to have to deal with that. Unless you have a better idea." With that, Pluto shrugged, glancing back towards the school. Classes didn't start for another hot fifteen minutes, but Pluto knew better still hadn't eaten breakfast and had homework to do. And at this point, he had just about all the information he wanted from Romeo. Going back inside didn't seem like a bad idea, but really, neither did staying outside. Pluto had always kind of sucked at decisions.

Romeo shrugged a shoulder at Pluto's words. "Actually, being gay isn't a decision. It just happens." He pointed out, folding his arms over his chest and staring at his feet for a moment. He exhaled sharply and looked up at the sky. "I don't know, man! How about I just kill myself and then I wouldn't have to worry about anything." Romeo huffs irritably. Even though he's joking, he still doesn't know what to do. Suddenly Romeo realized that he forgot to eat breakfast, before quickly dismissing the thought and tapping his foot on the ground lightly. "Do you have any non-violent suggestions?" He asked, knowing that Pluto was the worst person to ask but Romeo didn't care at this point. He just wanted to get out of this.

"Well... no," Pluto said after a long moment of thinking. The conversation deescalating is basically his cue to leave, and he shrugs before turning to the school again. "I'm just going to go eat breakfast, what you do is up to you at this point. But you can't say I didn't try to help you..." That's all he has left to say, and Pluto leaves after that, glancing back over his shoulder at Romeo as he walks back to the school. The cafeteria is a little more crowded now, but he finds a place to sit easily, looking around the room before getting up and getting something to eat, then returning to his spot.

Adalie huffed under her breath as she checked herself in the mirror of her car, making sure a hair wasn't out of place before she hustled to get across the parking lot before she was classified as late to school. Her quick walk slowed as two of her classmates came into view--her first instinct being to avoid them in case they were 'it'. She rolled her eyes. It's just Romeo and Pluto, she thought. She hadn't had the chance to read the blog this morning, see as her alarm clock failed to go off. Or maybe she hit the snooze? Either way, she typically was early enough to scout out a safe place to observe the drama of the halls, but today was not that day. Tucking her wavy hair behind her ears, she approached them, a tad apprehensive but generally unconcerned as to their actions.

Xavier patted his forehead with a white towel, and then tossed it haphazardly into her locker. Football practice had been long, especially since a few of the guys didn't show up for practice which pissed off the coach. Extra weights, extra reps, extra running... the whole nine yards. Some team, he thought darkly. Slinging his bag over his shoulder, he then closed his locker and left the locker room. There was still fifteen minutes before school technically started, and he didn't know what to do with his time. He began to walk down the hallway, heading in the general direction of the cafeteria with the vague hope of getting a snack before class.

sixteen | trans male (closeted) | bisexual (closeted) | cafeteria | open
noah's breaths were shallow and fast. he didn't particularly have a reason to be so scared every single morning, but it was just the simplicity of the release of luciano's information. it was so easy to just ruin someone's life like that. it was so easy to take someone's biggest secret and to completely ruin their entire academic life, and for what? for a petty game?
as much hatred as he had for this pathetic, malicious game of tag, it wasn't that much of a shock to anyone that he was very wary of who he touched, who he allowed to be near him. noah james had a lot of secrets.
his smallest were the ones that could ruin his life, and that was saying something. the questioning of his gender and the questioning of his blotted sexuality were not enough to be considered his biggest secret; nothing like. but he'd hidden both of these well.
when he was seven, he came out to his mother as transgender. he got put on hormones, not much else happened, and he moved to this school. his childhood was completely glossed over; he was just a normal boy. but the other things that he'd done...
noah blinked hard, shaking his head of thoughts that would induce stress. he walked up to the cafeteria, bought himself a soda can, cracked it open and sat down at an empty table. out he took his history textbooks, pretending to be focused on reading the blurs of sentences that melded themselves together, when actually he was listening,watching the people who combed through the cafeteria and staying tensed up.

irelamnd looked at him sympathetically. "i mean yeah, everyone has heard the news. i'm sorry they exiled you. that sucks. but you're always welcome to hang out with me," she said. she realized how that sounded and said quickly, "if you don't have anyone else or if you're lonely, i mean. i'm sure i'm not your first choice." she winced at how stupid and desperate she sounded, but it wasn't far from the truth. she flexed her hands and then placed them on the table, feeling she should leave but not quite wanting to.

"You're very sweet," Luciano commented, and that was true. Which was why he almost felt bad when he smiled warmly at her and placed his hand over one of hers. "I'm so sorry. You're it."
With that, he got up quickly, turning and walking quickly out of the library before Ireland had a chance to say or do anything. See, Luciano had a few more secrets that he'd rather not have spilled, and he was raised to be charming, not sincere.

Romeo ran his fingers through his hair, not bothering to respond to Pluto when he said he was going in to go eat breakfast. He gave him a quick wave, and that was the end of it. He exhaled and leaned back, laying on the hood of his car with his arms covering his face. He stayed there for a moment, his mind completely empty as he let the cool wind blow over him. After a while, he heard footsteps and moved his arms from his face, turning his face towards whoever decided to come up to him. His hazel eyes fell on Adalie, so he looked back up to the sky. "You just missed Pluto, sweetheart." Romeo said, extended one of his legs until his knee popped and putting it back down.

Omera giggled, dropping her hand down at her side. "Tyler, it's okay. Seriously." She insisted, flipping her red hair behind her shoulder and shifting her weight. When he mentioned her books, she waved it off and playfully scoffed. "They're fine, not like I really care or anything." She said, looking down to see that her books were in fact perfectly fine. "Anyway, how are you? In general, I mean." She asked, tilting her head and bit and leaning her shoulder against the lockers.
