"You could tell how much Dr. Tina Song was dedicated to her work. She'd always put other's safety first, putting herself at risk. Perhaps that person is gone now. But then again, whats the point of doing science if u dont lose a bit of humanity?"
Summary: There is a new kid in town and Henry is tired of this “making friends with new people” shit.
A couple days pass, Henry met up with little Henry and again it went better than he thought it would. Making friends was hard for him and talking to the little boy was almost therapeutic. There did seem to be some change in the group and the house he had visited at least two times already. The two gangs were becoming more woven together and more supportive of one another. The whole thing was keeping Henry out of trouble much to Belch’s relief.
“So how was the kid?” Vic asked. Henry climbed into the car and shrugged.
“Normal nerdy ass self, kid doesn't really have a change in demeanor,” Henry mumbled, staring out of the window, watching the trees pass them as Belch took the roundabout to leave the land.
“Why so grumpy, hank?” Belch asked, keeping his eyes on the road, but lifting his gaze to Henry every few moments.
“Something's going on in the house and I don't know what it is entirely, but everything seems a lot more chaotic and everyone seems excited. Have you seen anything weird in Tinas behavior recently?” Henry asked, looking over to Vic.
“Yeah I guess, she seems a little buzzy.” Vic replied, “Not the bad kind though, you know she has bad anxiety but she seems to be the excited type of buzzy.”
“Same with Daniel, and he's expressed that something good is happening and that its a surprise,” Belch added in.
Henry nodded and thought about it. The house seemed happy and bright, more than usual. Most of them were always having a good time while the teenagers stayed in their rooms or in the kitchen, maybe doing chores, and the younger kids ran around and kept themselves busy with the TV or the arcade room in the basement. Not a lot of upsetting things happen there except the ghosts of their past.
The house not though seemed to buzz with more energy, the teens were out more, he was seeing Sixteen out of their room more frequently and Tina was always running around upstairs doing something. When he brought it up to Henry he even told him it was a surprise for everyone.
Henry shrugged to himself.
“We need to give mini-me a nickname so I don't have to always call him by my name,” Henry spoke, changing the subject.
“Well, Sixteen says they started calling him Chicken,” Patrick mumbled.
Henry raised a brow, “Chicken?”
“Yeah they explained it as how he's a Henry but he's kind of all over the place like a brooding Hen and Hens are chickens so they nicknamed him Chicken.”
“Cute.” Belch piped up.
Later that week the gangs met up at lunch after the normal routine of the day. The dull stance on everything was starting to get to the Bowers boy’s heads, but for the Six’s they were all upbeat and ready to roll for everything.
“Today's the day!” Daniel announced, Jessica, elbowing him in the side.
“Day for what?” Vic asked.
“None of your business, for now.” Sixteen shrugged, Tina smiled, and Daniel shrugged nervously.
Henry narrowed his gaze but let it go.
“Anyway, hows Chicken?” He asked, sitting down at one of the tables, the kids sitting ways from him moving their spot immediately. Everyone followed him and sat down as well.
“Good, Nana is taking him out of town tomorrow, or everyone who has therapy and checkups this week is going every now and then but other than that we have a special thing going on today that you all probably won't understand, and I don't entirely understand either but they should be arriving at school anytime now.” Sixteen motioned to the office near the lunchroom doors.
Henry stared at them, then looked to Patrick who was having no interest in Jessica's one-sided conversation. Patrick shrugged at him only to be forcefully brought back to Jessica's fantasy world.
“New kid?”
“Not just any new kid!” Tina shouted in excitement, the loudest she had ever been since they moved here. Henry jumping slightly at the sudden outburst.
“Our old friend is moving in with us! He finally got out of his shit home and came down here to be happier and get the help he needs!” Daniel butt in, It was obvious these were the only two with history with this person.
“Whos he?” Belch asked, suddenly interested.
Daniel was about to reply until he looked up and his smile grew wider, his glasses lifting with his cheeks. Seeing this Tina lifted her head quickly and smiled wide as well. Both jumping up and running to the cafeteria doors.
The rest turned to see what had gotten them so riled up and saw a very confused and nervous boy, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings and taking everything in. His clothes were very dark and goth, big combat boots with a jacket, along with a hat hiding the rest of his dark curls from the group that popped out messily in the front.
“Seems fruity,” Henry mumbled, watching the three scream in unison when seeing each other. Everyone staring in their direction now. Daniel being the strong guy he is picked up the new kid and spun him around. Tina hugged him tightly and the hug lasted longer than a normal one she would give to others. These three were very close friends.
“If you are saying that because of how feminine he is, its because he's trans. Names Germ or that's what they call him, or he goes by Birdy, that's what Tina calls him.” Sixteen shrugged, standing and starting for the group, “He's apart of the family now, he came here to be who he truly is and go through the changes he wants, I suggest you meet him I've heard nothing but good things about him.”
Sixteen walked off, Jessica following close behind with a pep in her step. Henry stared at the interaction of hellos, and introductions. Sixteen glanced over at him a couple times before ignoring him to make his own mind up. This whole friend making thing was starting to become a regular and uncomfortable thing but really he didn't want to avoid it.
Belch left first, following close behind was Vic. Patrick went as well but stayed well away from Jessica who kept stealing looks at him over everyone's shoulders. With a huff Henry finally stood up and made his way to the group, Birdy looked at him, his smile falling then quickly returning. He held out a hand.
Henry looked the new kid up and down before he returned the gesture and shook hands with the stranger.
“Henry.”
“Birdy, or Germ, either one works I don't really mind.”
Henry took his hand back quickly, watching Birdy lean over and say something to Tina.
“Didn't tell me there would attractive people here.”
He smiled and looked to all the new people, he knew this was overwhelming for Henry as well as him but in the entirety of itself, it was a very good thing, a very good brand new start to who he is.
