WHEN: Saturday, August 4
WHERE: The Teens Treehouse? (IDK guys we need a cool nickname for the place.)
WHAT: Team meeting.
Mia knew that Kate was away, so she hadn't really been expecting anything official to happen. Still, someone called a meeting, and it would be her first. There was no way in hell she was going to miss that. So she suited up and took off. She figured she'd probably get there a few minutes early, but that hardly mattered.
When she arrived there was only a couple of them there, so she went ahead and plopped down into a comfy chair to wait. It didn't take long for them all to show up and she heard the chattering around her. Normally she'd be right there with them, but there was something she needed to do. She'd been trying to think of the best way to broach the topic, but honestly, there wasn't really a good way. She knew this from experience.
Best to just be straight forward, hope for the best, and dismiss the haters to the left.
"Hey guys, before we get started there's something I need to tell you." She spoke up suddenly to get their attention. She turned her body around to the side in the chair and tucked a foot under herself so she could see them.
She took a breath, and then dropped the bomb. "I'm HIV positive." Talk about the fast bandaid removing. "I don't want to get into some heavy discussion about my life or how it happened or have some kumbaya campfire feelsies time. But I don't have superpowers. I'm not super strong. I'm not invincible or impenetrable. I'm a crazy girl with a bow and arrow fighting frost giants and guys who have guns..."
She swallowed and looked down at her hands for a second. "So I thought it was important that you all know that in case something happens, and I get hurt or something."
There. That was done. Now here was the best part.
