	Welcome to the Journey of Hunter Brooks!


LUS – Chapter 1.2 – Hunter Brooks Act 1 – Troubled Waters

	"Mrs. Miles-Brooks, Hunter has gotten into another fight..." My
principle told my mom. It was true, though... and I kinda started it.

	See I get really offended when someone uses gay slang
negatively. My friends Kyle and Even get made fun of cause of their dads
all the time. I just get so angry when they get made fun of that I start
fights... I know it's bad.
	Oh, my name is Hunter Brooks. I'm 14 years old with short dirty
blonde hair and brown eyes. I'm not overweight, but I'm not skinny
either. That being said, I have a blue belt in karate. I would have a
higher belt, but you know... starting fights and stuff.

	Mom shook her head; I sat there ashamed. "What does that mean for
Hunter? I know he's been in quite a few fights, so what's the punishment
now?"

	The principle sighed. "Sadly, since we have so many fights attached
to Hunter's name, there isn't much of a choice here. The only thing I can
do is expel him."

	I felt my entire body go numb. At that moment there was no
mistaking it; mom was disappointed in me for sure. Before I wasn't looking
at anyone, now my head is hanging the lowest it could. It felt like I could
cry.

	"There's nothing you can do for Hunter?" Mom tried to reason with
him. There's nothing we can do, though. I have a pretty big record of
fights. "Please, look at him; you can clearly see he feels bad about this."

	I bit the inside of my lip. "I'm sorry Ma'am, but we have a dozen
fights where Hunter has admitted to starting. We have a total of almost
thirty fights that Hunter has been a part of. Honestly, I've pulled as much
as I can; my hands are tied on this one.

	"Hunter picked a fight with the head of the Parent Council and is
insisting on this. Even if we try, I don't see it going very far. I'm sorry
Mrs. Miles-Brooks, but this is Hunter's last leg at this school."

	I got up leaving my mom in the principal's office. I walked
directly out of the school and sat under the tree by the teacher's parking
lot. Sitting there alone I let it all out; I just cried kicking and
punching the ground.

	It was enough that mom was disappointing in me about fighting, but
now... Now I'm being expelled because the head of the Parent Council's son
is a bigot. Yes, I started the physical altercation, but he's the one who
made fun of Kyle and Even. And it's 2026 for goodness sake!

	Kyle and Even are special kids, for more than one reason. First,
they are twins. They look similar, but you can tell them apart by how they
stand. Even is always hunched and looking at the ground; Kyle is always
upbeat and smiley.

	Second, they're adopted by two dads. They have gay parents, and
that's normal nowadays, more than it was ten years ago even, for two men or
women to have families together. So why are they made fun of because of
that?

	Third, their dads were legally brothers at one point. One of their
dads was adopted into the others family, and they fell in love. With
support from their parents right before Wyatt, their dad turned 18 they
unadopted him legally. That way there was nothing to get in the way for him
and Talon, their other dad, being together legally.

	So as you can see, they are extra special in their own way.

	That's why when punk kids decided they want to make fun of them I
stand up for them. They are some of my best friends if I don't, who will?
Making fun of them is making fun of me and my being gay. No one should be
allowed to do that.

	I must have been outside for close to an hour before my mom came
out of the school with my backpack in her hand. She had her cell phone to
her ear. "I know, it wasn't fair for me to do this, and I don't expect you
to do anything. I have to come up there in a couple of days; I'll pay for
dinner, can we talk about it more then?" Who is mom talking to? "Okay,
thank you. Again I'm sorry. See you then."

	She hung up the phone and put it in her pocket. "Who was that?" I
weakly asked her.

	Mom sighed. "You're father."
	"Dad is at work; you were talking about how you're heading to your
hometown..." Why is she lying to me so bluntly? Like that wasn't even a
good attempt to lie.

	She shook her head. "No, your biological father, not Jayce." Why is
she talking to the man who hasn't been in my life at all? Mom must have
noticed my anger. "Don't blame him for not being in your life; it's my
fault. When I got pregnant with you, I chose not to tell him. He wasn't
here at all because of me and he's a little angry about it right now."

	"He's got a decent reason to be at least," I mumbled under my
breath. Mom shot me a dirty look. "Sorry..."

	"Get up; we're heading home." I did as she commanded. "You've been
expelled from the school for partaking in so many fights and starting most
of them. If it's possible, you will not be going to the alternative
school. That is why I called Lucas, your father."

	Oh... so that means I would be moving in with him then? "So you're
shipping me away?"

	Mom stopped in her tracks. "No. I want you to understand something
Hunter; I love you with all my heart, and I understand why you do what you
do. I truly do. Fighting is not the answer, though, and you know that.

	"I have done everything I can think of to get that through to
you. No matter how hard I try, it seems that whatever we try it isn't
working. So do not think I am giving up on you and shipping you off.

	Mom was trying her best to keep the tears back; it wasn't really
working. "I feel like your father is your best chance right now. Clearly I
am not able to sway you from violence. It pains me to think I've failed as
a mother..."

	"You haven't failed as a mom!" I tried to comfort her. Right now,
though, I don't think it will work. "You're the best mom ever." I wrapped
my arms around her as tightly as I could.

	My head pressed right up against her back; I could hear the smile
in her voice. "Hunter, do you want to meet your biological father?" I
nodded into her back. "Then, for now, you'll head there for the
summer... And we'll see how things are in the middle of August, okay?"

	"Okay, mom." I let go of her. She's really trying to be a mom and
do what's best for me. I just wish I could be my best for her. "What's dad
like?"

	She laughed. "Well, I haven't seen him in 14 years, but he was
pretty much you."

	"Like how much like me? Kinda sporty, kinda nerdy, sorta into
everything?" Tell me about him more!!!

	She nodded as I asked my questions. "A little pudgy quite confident
boy with a heart of gold." Thanks, mom... calling me pudgy. "And he's gay."

	"Wait... what?" Mom scored with a gay guy? How the hell did that
happen?

Chapter End.
	So if you read LE or LLL, you may recognize some names here. Like
Jayce, and Lucas. If you read LLL, you know who Hunter's mom is too. That
info will be released to those who don't know in Act 2 of Hunter's story.

	I hope you enjoyed Hunter Brooks Act 1! I look forward to showing
you more of Hunter soon!

	Last up the newcomer Elijah!!
