a depressed and quirkless boy has a difficult time with life till a new family moves in next door with a son around his age who instantly captures his heart.
it has been six years since I lost my friend after which everyone joined him in bullying me or ignoring me so I've pretty much been alone since I was four.
since that time I've gained depression and so has my mom due to my dad not coming back and having to see her kid come home from school with bruises.
we can't afford a new school as good as the one I'm in but I don't mind, since the money goes to our living, mom's anti-depression pills and my yoga classes plus my therapy since mom didn't want to start me on pills till I'm a decent age which she has decided is ttwelve. I understand but the bullying is slowly getting worse and yoga just isn't cutting it anymore.
the doctor suggested pills like my mom's so Mom finally agreed and I got them early. The pills worked for the most part of 2 years then I don't know what happened the pills just weren't working anymore. My mom didn't want to up my dosage so she asked my therapist he ended up recommending we try medical marijuana. at first, my mom freaked because well it's weed but then he explained that you can get it prescribed in healthy dosages and put it in food and it really helps with calming the nerves.
Then if it doesn't work I can get more prescribed more as I grow oh, there was also less damage that could be done with a higher prescription compared to the medication we were already using. So we ended up trying it (mom decided to try it too since I was) and it worked and a huge plus was that it came in the cutest gummies or I could make my own but that seemed like too much work.
In the six years, I changed a bit more than gaining weight and working to fix my depression. not much of my looks changed at school because I really didn't need more reasons to get bullied I did end up getting a bit bolder with my clothes, at home mostly and sometimes in public where I know my classmates won't see me I liked to wear puffy lolita type dresses pastels, neon, rainbow or goth type it didn't really matter because I wore all kinds based off my mood, I also liked cropped tops, short shorts, skirts, and especially thigh high socks and panties. not just my wardrobe but my room also matured.

After starting on my gummies I felt much calmer and my days started getting better except the bullying, that continued to get worse.
one day during the summer, after finally finishing Elementary School, I decided I wanted to go out in feminine clothes so I could feel pretty with people pointing it out thinking I can't hear but in truth I can not that I'm going to say anything because I'm an absolute attention whore.
I guess that's another thing that changed I started being not so innocent mostly in my mind. anyway I got dressed (dress up top) then got my mom dressed up, you might think that's weird but she's like the coolest person I know and my best friend we do everything together.
after getting dressed up we went for a drive for about an hour to a different town to a cute vintage American-styled diner, perfect for posts, my account has a lot of followers but I never show my face just in case (for showing his body he just posts pics from the neck down).
after food and a ton of absolutely adorable photos we decided to go for a walk around the town. while walking around I noticed a few kids my age hanging at a skate park across the street, the tricks they were doing were pretty cool looking. "hey mom would you maybe be interested in learning how to skateboard with me it looks pretty fun." I asked.
"I think it might be an activity you learn with some friends, I might be a bit too old for that. sorry baby but seeing as I'm here right now how about we go say hi and introduce ourselves, you can have a gummy to calm your nerves if you need." she said.
"ok I guess but what if they don't like me then who am I going to learn with." I asked with a pout.
"well you'll never know till you try sweetie."
"ok I guess I'll try but I need a gummy and your hand to hold the whole time."
"ok baby as long as you talk a bit." we crossed the street and mom went up to the closest person, she was pink and I was loving it not that I would say it aloud at least not now. "hey there um my name is Inko Midoria and this is my son, he's really shy so I was wondering if you lot would be friends with him and maybe teach him how to skateboard I know it would really make him happier." mom said.
"oh hey I'm mina, I would love to be your son's friend. I absolutely love your guys' fashion sense." she said then turned around to face the park again and screamed," HEY GUYS COME MEET A NEW KID." she looked back at me as the others started to come toward us "hey so as I already said my name s mina, whats yours" " my name is Izuku." I mumbled under my breath.
The others finally gathered and mina started to introduce us, "alright so this is May, Serenity, Emerson, Kitsu but we all call her Kit, Mich, and Niki. guys this is Izuku, he's a little shy and this is his mom Inko." they all said a hi or hey and I think one awwed at me but I don't mind.
After a little more talking and exchanging numbers my and mom headed home. Today was a good day I thought to my self as I snuggled in to bed that night. From then on we were all the best of friends, even with the obvious crushes in the group. I was getting better at communicating with them, talking a lot more and every once and a while would give a real smile and laugh too.
sometimes I'd drive to the park or their houses in the other town or they would come to mine. we are all pretty good friends, we've gotten to know each other very well over a couple of years that know almost everything about my life including the weed which I sometimes sneak a little of my gummies to my friends even though I tell my mom so it's not really sneaking. sometimes the bullying is really bad but I can just smile through with my gummies and know that my mom and friends are waiting for me any time I need them.
