[Zach's POV]

    "Dear JOURNAL,                        January 28, 2045

     I haven't gotten much of a chance to write in this lately. I've been through a storm cloud of emotions and situations that I don't even know where to start! A lot are pretty bad too, for starters my brother has been going through a lot in these past few months. Things like second gender sexism, bullies, breakdowns, and I'm not 100% sure but I think he might've been hurting himself at some point too.
On the bright side of things though I think he stopped! And I'm pretty sure that the bullies stopped too. So things are definitely looking up for him.

He's a good big brother, love him a lot."

I huff.

"Zach are you ready to go?" I hear Karen yell from downstairs.

"Yeah! Give me a sec!" I quickly grab all my school stuff and jog downstairs. "Ready!"

We leave the house and head for my middle school. Glum and horrible, I sigh as I step outta the car. "Bye Karen."

"Bye Zach, have fun at school!" She says as I shut her passenger side door.

Time to start the day I guess.

...

"Hey Beanstalk!" I hear Ricky scream.

"Leave me alone Ricky." I mumble at my locker.

"What! I'm just playing! Heard about your brother, shame." He says leaning on the locker next to mine.

"Don't talk about my brother." I say as I walk past him heading towards hr.

"Or what Giant!" He laughs.

"Or I'm gonna force feed you garbage you beta."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!" I toss my stuff off to the side.

"Ay! Woah there, none of that in my halls boys." Mr. Jonathan, the music teacher, steps in.

I 'tsk' and walk off with my things.

...

"Zach!" I feel someone hug me from behind.

     I turn and see Harper, by her side is Ruby and Mia. "Sup girls." I say.

      "Nothing, saw Ricky pickin' a fight this morning though, you alright?" Mia asks.

     "Yeah everything's good, he just never knows when to stop talking." I mutter.

    "Oh my god! I know right! He's like so annoying. For a beta he's got some balls though, gotta admit that at least." Ruby quirkily adds.

    "Yeah he does, might get him killed one day though." Mia replies.

    "He bothers you again and I'll bite him! Just for you Zach!" Harper jumps up and down.

"I appreciate that, Harper." I laugh and ruffle her hair.

"Ew, why are more people than usual sitting at our table." Mia comments pointing to the table we typically sit at.

"I don't know, just leave them be. There's still room for us there so we're good." Harper says skipping over to our spots.
