"he's so weird"
"Why doesn't he ever talk?"
"I heard his tongue got cut off!"
People make up the wildest rumors.
They fear what they can't understand.
People talk too much.
People assume too much.
I really.....hated people.
I look down,pulling my sleeves up and viewing my scars on my wrist.
Old scars.
I trace my finger over them, remembering each time I decided to leave a mark,a forever tattoo.
"Why don't you just be normal,then?"
I look up to see uehara tilting his head at me.
"If you're so worried about what people think of you,then just pretend to be normal."
I look down and sigh.
I raise my hands,signing to him in sign language.
"I don't want to be normal." I sign.
Uehara raises his brows at me.
"You're not using your powers to talk to me inside my head? That's unusual of you."
I roll my eyes. Using my powers took energy. Energy I didn't have for today.
I raise my hands again,not looking at uehara.
"Normal means you're just like everyone else. What's the fun in that? All this popularity crap, depicting on looks or athletics...it's so stupid. Normal is boring." I sign.
Uehara stares at me for a long moment. Then smiles,putting a hand on my shoulder before walking past me.
Uehara could have been popular,with his good looks and athletics.
There were still girls that swooned over him despite his unfriendly aura.
He chose to isolate himself. Which made him stand out.
A lone wolf kinda.
He...was my role model.
He was an outcast.
And he was comfortable being himself in front of anyone.
I hope that one day I can be comfortable enough to share my true self with just anyone,like him.
Will I ever be brave enough for that?
