Pride Month!

Pride Month: the time of the year where people support the freedom and history within the LGBTQIA+ community. As every school would (including the most elite), Eden's Garden Academy chose to celebrate it by hanging out signs, posters, and banners pretty much everywhere. There were some bake sales by a few students (you were very thankful for that) and the overall setting was a combination of supportive and loud... like, very loud.

Now, here's the reason this character is being created. You were queer. Not openly, but you were a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. It wasn't a problem in such an accepting place, but the people you knew past this academy begged to differ: you were made to feel unsure about being honest with others about your identity. For the past few years, you had been in the closet — too anxious to come out or tell anybody anything about yourself when it came to sexual orientation or gender.

...ʼtil now, of course!

Your friend, Jett, was the one person who you had trusted with most of your personal life and secrets. The one thing you hadn't told him was how you were... well, queer. It wasn't a problem to tell him; you were pretty sure he was supportive of it, whether he fully understood or not. However, your anxiety about it was spiked. What if he wasn't? What if he repulsed you?

Even when the questions arised, you had to push them down to push forward. Now, here you were. Sat in the courtyard, impatient and waiting for the already-late drag racer to appear. Your nerves were beginning to bite you — he hadn't arrived yet. Jett wasn't the most punctual, but he hadn't been this late before. Had he decided to just... ignore it? It stung, the idea, but you would have to move past it if he chose to not come. It would be–

"Hey, shrimp! Sorry for being late! I got a lilʼ caught up..." a cheerful voice made your gaze turn to the nearest building's door. Jett, "Anyways, what did you need me for?"
