Tw: homophobia.
Saragon parents. Anne is 10, Cathy is 8, Anna is 9, and Kat is 5. My cat just hugged my foot, awwww.

Cathy POV
I sat at my table at school. "Cathy I would like to talk to you after class." Mrs. Andrews says before turning back to math. I rub my eyes and try to wake myself up, I stayed up really late last night cause I couldn't sleep.

After class before recess
I walked over to Mrs. Andrew desk. "What did you want to talk to me about?" I ask, I was holding on to my notebook.
"Well I've noticed that you don't have any friends yet and we've been in school for a while-" I cut her off
"I know. And, I'm fine with it. I don't really mind."
"I know, but I'd just like you to have at least one friend."
"I'm okay. Can I go outside now?" I ask and she sighs and nods her head.
I walked around the track for a while before feeling a tap on my shoulder, I looked up to see a boy named Griffin, "you're a freak." He says
"Sorry, I'm confused. What do you mean?" I ask
"You have two moms instead of a mom and a dad. Do you know how weird that is?"
"But it's not weird, it's normal." He shoves me and I fall on the cement
"It's weird, creepy, and disgusting! You should be ashamed to live in your house! Your family is disgusting and so are you!" He yells and walks away. I felt tears forming in my eyes, I lift my hands up, the skin had peeled and there was dirt on the cuts. I stood up and grabbed my notebook, I walked to one of the recess aids. "Can I go wash my hands?" I ask and show them my hands
"What happened."
"I-I um I fell on the track. I tripped over a rock." I say and she nods. I walk inside, I wash my hands and out the bandaids on. I walked out of the bathroom, everyone was already inside. I grab my lunch bag and sit at the lunch table, we had lunch with the 5th graders so I got to see Anne. I finished my lunch and walk over to Anne's table, I sit next to her, she hugs me.
"Hey Cathy." She says
"Hi Annie." I say back and play with the strings of my jacket.
"Oh my gosh, Cathy what happened to your hands!?" She exclaims
"I-I tripped over a rock on the track and I um I scrapped my hands."
"Oh okay, be careful next time okay." She says and I nod,
"I have to go Annie, see you later." I say and walk over to my table. Griffin glares at me. I look down and sit down at the table. I could feel tears in my eyes so I quickly wipe away the tear and then lunch was over.

After school
I walk outside with Anne, Kat, and Anna. We wait for Mom and Mama to pick us up. I looked at my notebook. "Cathy are you okay?" Kat asks
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine just a little sleepy that's all." I say, fake smiling. I saw Mom and Mamas car "look there's Mom and Mama." I say and we walk over to the car, Mama walks out and picks up Kat and puts her in her car seat. I walked in and sat in my seat next to Anna. I was looking out the window, when I felt someone shaking me. "Yeah?" I ask
"Mom was asking if you had any homework." Anna days
"I don't have any." I say
"Cathy are you okay? You seem really out of it today." Mama asks
"I'm okay."

At home
I walk in the house after Mom and Mama, "oh my! Cathy what did you do to your hands?" Mama says taking them looking at them.
"I-I f-fell on the track. I-I tripped over a rock." I lie,
"Okay." She says suspicious
"I'm going to go upstairs until dinner." I say and run upstairs. I feel really bad about lying, but Mama will blame herself for me getting hurt. I get my blanket, lye down on bed and cry.

2 minutes later
I felt someone climbing on my bed. "Cathy why are you crying?" Kat asks
"I-I'm not." I say and wipe my tears away,
"Yeah you are. I'm gonna go get Mama and Mommy." She says but I grab her hand before she could.
"No Kat. Mommy and Mama don't need to know." I say
"Okay. Are you okay though?" She asks
"Yeah."
"Oh I was supposed to tell you dinners done." She says and runs downstairs. I follow her after a few minutes.
"Cathy why are your eyes red?" Mommy asks
"I-I um I don't know." I lie she looks at me like Mama did when she was looking at my hands earlier. She moves so that I can sit down. Mama walks behind me and hugs me.
"I wanna talk to you after dinner okay." She whispers, I nod my head.
