Junior Year Changes Ch. 2

     The next morning I got into a really cute outfit and my mom made me breakfast.

     “Before you go,” Mom said, “Your dad and i want to talk to you.” she patted the chair across the table from my dad and she sat next to him.

     I sat down and asked, “Whats up?”

     “We overheard you and your friends in the screening room. Do you want to tell her Harold?" Mom said.

     “Honey, we don’t want you hanging out with Ryder anymore.” Dad said

     “Wait, what, why?!” I said, confused.

     “We don't want you to be hanging out with her, because she is going to hell.” Dad said

     “Plus, she is a bad influence. The only thing those kinds of people want to do is push their lifestyle on you.” Mom said.

     “Uhm, ok mom and dad. Thanks for looking out for me, I guess.”

     “You’re welcome sweetie, we just want what's best for you. Now come on we gotta get you to school.. Said mom.

     "Margaret honey, i will drive her." Said dad.

     "Ok if you insist, honey. I love you, drive safe." Said mom

     Dad and I took the minivan and he let me drive myself to school. "Bye dad, i love you" i said

     "Bye sweetie, have a good day at school." Dad said

     "Ok. I'll see you when I get home." I said as I walked to the school. I went in and got my schedule. I have homeroom in class 127 with Mr. Davidson. As I got to the classroom I saw Ryder about to go into the classroom. "Ryder wait up!" I yelled so she wouldn't go in before I could talk to her.

     "Hey Mia, whats up?" She said excitedly.

     "Uh." I was super nervous and my stomach was turning. "I had a talk with my mom this morning and…" 

     "And what? Is something wrong?" 

     "She forbade me to talk to you… We can't be friends, I'm sorry." I said, tears forming in my eyes.

     Ryder laughed a little but then she saw that I was serious and her expression became sad and worried. "W- wait. Why can't we be friends anymore."

     "My mom heard you say you were gay and… Yeah she didn't like that." I said nervously.

     At this point Ryder was on the verge of sobbing so she just walked away. I felt so bad but I can't risk upsetting my parents. They are paying for my college tuition. I really live Ryder though and it hurts me to make her sad. Tears started forming in my eyes it was hard to hold them in but i was able to keep my composure. So i walked into the classroom and took a set in my usual place in front of the teacher. Most of the day was uneventful and I barely knew anyone in most of my classes. But Liam and I had the same last period and it was a study hall in the café. I walked into the café and saw Liam. We texted all day and i caught him up on the whole Ryder thing. 

     “Liam!'' I yelled as I jumped into his arms. It's been a rough day so i really needed a hug from him.

     “Hey babe.” He said as he held me tight. He then broke the hug and pulled out a chair for me and I sat down.

     “Wanna go to the movies tonight to celebrate surviving the first day?” I suggested.

     “Sorry Mia i can't.” he said, “I have a DND session tonight. Then Taylor and I are gonna bake cookies for my church's bake sale.”  

     “Oh. Yeah that's fine.” I said. Honestly i was disappointed this is the third time he has decided to hang out with Taylor rather than me. This time was different because when we don't hang out I hang out with Ryder. This time though, i'm gonna be alone. My mom picked me up from school and I just chilled at home and watched movies and did some homework. And honestly the rest of the week was just like that Liam was busy with work and school and church. I was forbidden to talk to Ryder so that wasn't an option so i was kind of just sad all week. I felt alone. But Monday will be different. It's my 17th birthday so I will have Liam with me.
