fix me up my darling

Starting up a conversation felt awkward and tiring. Everyone in his classes sat as far as they could get from him. Even his brothers sat on the opposite sides of the room. And everybody stared.So he found his own place, up the back stairs and out a door that was probably supposed to be locked. The roof was quiet and empty and isolated. He didn’t mind it, though, it gave him time to work in peace. Being lonely wasn’t all that bad when you had homework to get done.That’s what he tried to convince himself, anyway.Or, Raph starts high school and realizes it’s not as easy as he thought it would be. But he can do better, right? He can be better. He just has to try to be normal for once.
