Wednesday
Claudia SchneiderToday I dressed like myself. I learned that I shouldn't follow everything. Nick was there and I felt better. After dressing up, he knocked on my door.
»Hey.«, I said happily.
»It looks like you came a little bit too early with this trend.«, he laughed.
At first I didn't knew what he meant by that, but I took a closer look at the people and noticed that everyone was dressing as a LGBTQ member. Those bright colors and many rainbow flags. The makeup was similar to that, that I wore yesterday. Wow! I was a trendsetter. I felt honored. People looked at me and smiled.
»OMG, you were that girl, that was dressed so lgbtqish and entered Jasmines Party room.«, one Girl said.
I smiled: »Yeah, right.«Lgbtqish? Was that an adjective. This term has an adjective now? How funny! The atmosphere was really loud and people started to notice me.
»No matter what the others say about you. That was really brave and we support your actions.«, that Girl replied.
I hugged her. She was really cute. The other straight people nodded. I liked this kind of attention and it made me feel like my actions yesterday evening were great and cool. I started to explode with happiness. But suddenly Mrs. King came in. She had a straight back posture, which can be associated with being strict and tough, so was she.
Her brown hair was in a ponytail and her mouth was closed. She looked like she never smiled in her entire life. She wore her gray dress, that goes until her knees and her black »Dear Students, I notice your style and I want you to dress like you would normally. If you won't, we'll put you in Uniforms. Tomorrow I want to see all of you, normally dressed, except for our LGBTQ members, that we love.«, she said in a very strict tone.Tyler stood up: »I can't stand this anymore! What kind of system is this here? Just because someone, who we don't know, killed David, all straight people are LGBTQ phobic.«
»Tyler nobody here, can take you seriously. You are THE troublemaker in our school.«
Nick also stood up: »He's right. I don't support that. This is reverse discrimination.<<
People looked for arguments to beat each other and I was just standing still. The room was so loud that Mrs. King shouted: »SHUT UP!«
We started to be quiet and she left with fast steps.
After six lessons, Nick and I went to lunch and ate again. It was really calm, until Tyler came in.
»We want our rights in this school!«, he shouted.
»YEAH!«, his friends called.
Nick started to laugh and buried his face in my shoulder. After one minute, more people stood behind him and protested.
I didn't know what to think about this situation, but Nick motivated me: »What are you waiting for? Come on, let's go.«
I took his hand and we ran behind the protesters. »We want our rights back!«, we shouted. It was an adventurous moment. Who knows, what will happen next and what is Mrs. King going to do. She couldn't stop us. She couldn't punish over hundred students, demonstrating. We felt so powerful and it was fun.»Stop!«, shouted Daisy, »THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING LGBTQ PHOBIC!«
I got angry and wanted to hit them. My friend turned into a monster and someone, who could think about their gender identity all the time. I want the old Daisy back. The Daisy, who had other problems and talked with me about unnecessary things.
»Shut the fuck up!«, shouted Tony, but they didn't. I started to throw my food on them.
They moaned aggressively and wanted to throw their cake all over me, but she accidentally hit Tyler.
»WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, DAISY?!«, he hissed and suddenly the protesting became a food battle. Me, Nick and Daisy came to each other.
»You are doing this kind of shit, but expect us to be nice to LGBTQ people?«, I asked confusing
